Hi,
Yes, sorry misspelled,
Yes, I will provide the California Smog Test - Certificate
Bid in the amount of $42,500
Not sure what a California “smoke” test is actually- did you misspell -smog test?
Why did the car fail smog as indicated on the carfax a number of years back. Looks like this issue was fixed - in California the seller is responsible if the car fails smog. When I sell cars I just get a smog pass certificate and provide it with the car. They are good for I believe 90 days.

Any issue with the chick engine light coming on? These cars, 96-98, do not like to putter around under 3500 rpm. They must be driven aggressively, as the cast in breathing tubes will clog up and once completely clogged are very expensive to repair/replace?
Gorgeous 993 C4!!!
