re: used catalytic converters... a "NO-NO"

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

Are you serious?  That's ridiculous.  And easily unconstitutional, I 
would think.  I wonder how many more people would keep their cars 
emissions legal rather than removing a plugged-up cat if they could 
get a good used one at a salvage yard.

So if I were to go to the junkyard and pull a cat off say, a 
late-model, low-mileage Mustang to try and legalize say, an '83 
gray-market 3.5L BMW, they'd say, "No, we can't sell you that"?????

For crying out loud, what are they hoping to accomplish??
