I’m selling my '95 mustang to my girlfriend’s cousin who lives in Atlanta. I’m not worried about selling to my gfs family since the car is in good shape(double checked by a couple mechanics) and this girl is extremely cool, and knows exactly what to expect with this car.

What I am worried about is metro-Atlanta’s tailpipe emissions testing that’s required before registration. For once it would actually be better if they just checked its obdII, but for 86-95 model years they do a tailpipe test for NOx, HC, and CO.

From the website, this is the test:  
-A visual inspection of the catalytic converter to check for tampering or removal.  
-ASM2 or Accelerated Simulation Mode Test - A dual-mode test including a 25/25 test = 25 percent load at 25 MPH and a 50/15 test = 50 percent load at 15 MPH.  
-A tailpipe exhaust emission test.  
-A fuel cap inspection to check for adequate seal.

So I guess they actually put it on the rollers. Too bad its not AWD.

The car should pass, and I can probably find out what the acceptable values are, but is there a shop that can do this test for me locally, so I can make sure it will pass down there? I’m guessing it will cost a lot since it needs to be put on a dyno.

youll probably have to go to NYC for emissions testing. I dont think anyone upstate will have the equipment since its not required for NYSI besides in NYC

Oh I actually didn’t think about that. That may work out well since she’s meeting me in Staten Island to pick up the car. Thanks

I wish there was a loophole so they would just scan the computer. Its got the OBDII equipment. Never thought I would say that. Here I was thinking that it was a great thing to have a '95.

If you can find a shop a 5 gas analyzer they can test it for you. Not sure what shops in NY have but every shop I’ve worked at in FL or Vegas has had a way of checking tail pipe emissions, even if it wasn’t a smog shop.
