Re: Do I still need a CAT? Cali car in NON-Cali state

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Actually Kevin, only Cali cars until 1980 were required to have a cat.

Chris DeLong
ICQ#45030867
Seattle, WA USA
'80 16V 'Rocco ragtop (no cat)
'91 GLi 2.0 16V (cat)
'77 Rabbit 16V (no cat)
'80 'Vert (parting out!) (cat; cali model)
'61 17 Window type II (no cat)
'91 Vanagon (cat)
'78 Rabbit (no cat)
'78 Rabbit (for sale) (no cat)
'87 GTi 16V (cat)

See a pattern here?
