Default Need a car inspected in San Diego! Help!

Reaching out to my Corvette Brothers. I try to help as much as possible. I need some help now. I know this may not be the right forum but this is the one everyone knows me, hoping the mods will let me slide a little.

Good! My mom lives in Dan Diego and I know from her that the car inspections are ridiculously strict. She once had a car inspection and they failed her because she was using Cibie European Halogens on her 1981 BMW 528i which came with sealed beam headlights. She had to have a mechanic install 4 sealed beam headlights, go for the inspection and then reinstall the Cibie headlights............Government saving us from ourselves..................

My cousin had it professionally inspected. Car is a nut and bolt frame off restoration, 10 years old, car graded out a solid +2. He bought it. Thank to those that offered to help. The price might be high or might be low, hard to say. My uncle had one when my cousin was a small child so it is a sentimental purchase. Tough car to find with 3x2 tripower. It is numbers matching also.

I was thrown by your reference to a 1960 Lemans Sport Coupe with 3x2 and then looked at the link and saw it is a 1960 Ventura which is based on the Catalina full size car.
