Thanks everyone for the responses and info. I did download a lot of mag. articles from www.jalpa.ch website, and see there were some test results that were much better.

I am looking forward to seeing Jason's car tomorrow. But I'm afraid he wants more than I am able to spend on a car, since I'm also facing expense of my 400GT 2+2 restoration. My thoughts on a 328 were more wishful thinking (out loud) than anything. My logical side won't let me spend that much. This obviously limits the number of exotics that I can consider.

Another question on the Jalpa - what emissions equipment came originally with these cars? Did they come with cats and/or air pump? I'm asking because the Phoenix area (whole county) has an annual emissions testing program. They do visual checks for cats and air pump, if they think it was manufactured with one. I had to re-retrofit cats to my 308GT4 for this reason, which GTCP helped me locate.

Luckily, in April this year, the EPA signed off on legislation which allows collector cars to avoid emissions testing, if they are insured under a collector car policy.... with the associated driving limits.

Thanks again.
Rick
