A Hall "accessory" for those original 180s was a cut-down (and insulated) rear tub that was a bit less than half the as-stock size; reminiscent of the Miura rear tub dimensions. This might keep your co-driver (female-type) happier about the expense involved.
And try not to use logic to explain CA smog or sound laws. Totally inappropriate.
Got one. It's a double hump and wifey knows nothing about it. Not a place to carry ice cream home from the store in.
Wifey gets car sick when she rides as a passenger so she has never been in the Pantera and likely never will?
Well not to be insensitive about the trials and tribulations of those less fortunate in California, but my main concern would be if NY decides to use California standards to interpret my car.
We still use California numbers on emissions. Rather than rewrite their own law, it was easier for the NYS legislature just to adopt the entire California Motor Vehicle Air Quality Act. Considering the radicalism it in effect has towards motor vehicles, that is always a concern here.
A plus though is that NYS on a car built before the OBD-II computer, all the inspector needs to do is walk around the car and look at it. He doesn't even have to start the engine or check the lights. The issue is really roadside where the cop is knowledgeable and claims it is a kit car? We don't want them impounding anything while the issues are worked out?
