Where the Hell do you live that an emissions test is needed on a 30 year old

Re: '66 or '75 CJ5 For rebuild Project
 

Please do us lovers of all old Jeeps a big favor. Do not pillage one
priceless vintage Jeep to build the other. Sell whichever one you don't want
to build and use the cash on the keeper.

Either one of 'em is a smile-producer. The '75 will be easier to source
parts for, but maybe not quite as cool as the '66. The V6 is a great engine,
plenty of parts sources available, and the 256, well, pretty stout as well.
Gearboxes and Xfer cases on either are mule stout, as are the axles. The '66
uses the old sloppy bellcrank steering, which you can easily update, or
repair and make work well.

The '66 is geared much lower than the '75 and is a real wheezer on the
highway. An old friend has a '65 he inherited from his Grandfather, who used
it for years and called it "Ashma".

Again, PLEASE, don't butcher old Jeeps. Since we'll never again see such
vehicles built by anyone, they deserve to live.

I vote for the '66. I is so nice not to have to SMOG my CJ-2A every
other year.
