CA Smogless Ram Charger
Hi there. I have an oppurtunity to buy a 1987 Ram Charger with a 350 v-8. All the maintanence has been done in the last 2 weeks. The Catch is that is has not been smogged and It no longer has the equipment on it for CA smog. I can probably pick it up for under $1000. I have not seen it, but the post says that is really clean
here is the post
|||||||||||MUST SELL!!!!!! 1987 Dodge Ram Charger ** Midnight blue on grey exterior (New Paint)***Clean Interior*** 4X4 ** 360 engine** New Tranny** Tow package ** New plugs, wires, cap & rotor, fuel pump,filter and batterey. Due to Family emergency I MUST MOVE & SELL by October 7th or 8th. This Charger is in good shape!||||||||||
When I talked to her she said the exhaust manifold gasket needs to be replaced. I am not worried about that. Should I be? I am worried about collecting the equipment for smog and getting her running for this winter. I need a truck to get me to and from Tahoe. Right now I will be driving my bare bone 2 wheel drive toyota pickup. That is about 6 inches off the ground. And weighs nothing. Any Advise would make my winter. Thanks for looking.

RE: CA Smogless Ram Charger
Well if it's got all original parts with just the smog stuff removed you'll need an air pump, cat(s), EGR, and a charcoal canister at the very least. You may have some issues with the heads as well, the air injection holes being blocked up. It's a fair amount of work to get it smog legal, but if it's mechanically new and under a grand it might be worth it.
