Not a bad idea

I live New Jersey (across the bay from NYC) and I don't think the emissions testing is nearly as bad as California's!

eg. we had an '88 Merc that was fouling the #8 plug because of a worn valve guide or broken ring and our shop got that rusty junker through the dyno test! (Don't ask me how!) The emissions requirements may be the same in Cali and the Northeast, but I think the execution of the state emissions testing is somewhat different. You'll see when you get out here.

I'm not sure what kind of profit margin you can make on something like this -- they are old cars -- but it's a shame to see rust-free (or not badly rusted) old Volvos go to the crusher.
