In Arizona, this car is 100% legal. car has proper oxygen sensors and catalytic converter, that came with the body of the car, no other equipment needed. Other jurisdictions (such as California) have different standards, and require inspection in that state. Not selling this car because of any inherent issues, Im selling because I dont use it much anymore, and would like to see it go to a good home, where it will get properly used and enjoyed. This car needs to be driven to be properly appreciated. The added power and torque from the M50 engine make this a true drivers car that can scare unwary passengers. All of the factory check panel functions work as designed, no random warning lights or other issues that can arise from changing things around.
