Limited-prod car maker (EPA 75?)

[xxalexx at ix.netcom.com]

I have helped with several small volume certifications, You also have 
to do 5 days of evaporative emisson testing,  cold CO test and OBD2
verification, warranty, 100,000 mile durability and allot of 
paperwork and crash testing. The price can range from 1/4 to 1 mill.
depending on carry-over, using manufacturer data and various 
exemptions,plus development and engineering to make it pass.
Another option is to register if possible your car out of the US 
and then bring in thru a registered importer, where it could be 
certified to year of manufacturer.  Or get all your parts or 
combination CARB approved
