Frank, glad to hear that everything is working out ok with this transaction and that maybe it will work out to more business in the future. Empty Nest was definitely a well built car. I was impressed when I saw it at Columbus in 2008.
Regarding emissions: My dad lives in Vegas and when my 69 El Camino belonged to him he had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get it to pass emissions. For instance, it has a 454 but no smog pump. All factory emissions components are required for whatever engine is installed so he would have had to add one. However, the 396 equipped El Camino did NOT have a smog pump.
When the car came from Vegas to Sacramento I scratched my head over why he put a 396 sticker on the air cleaner for a solid half hour before calling him and asking. They smog techs don't bother with engine numbers, the sticker was good enough and it passed every time.
