I wouldn’t say 34 states is a “vast” majority, especially when it’s been shown that even your state doesn’t require emissions testing in every county.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?
The seller doesn't appear to be interested in potential issues with emissions. That's a sign to move on if passing emissions is critical for your purchase. It would be the same thing if there was rust and the vehicle presents with rust. Just move on - it's not the right truck for you.
It's hard sometimes when dealing with issues with an individual (in this case the seller) as we try to work around them or resolve them, whereas issues with the truck are more of an as-is thing, but we can't change people.

@TheLCProject is correct, but let me add some context to this particular situation. Closest emissions testing is 3-1/2 hours away, and with the vehicle being unregistered and not insured, it makes the logistics of getting an emissions test somewhat difficult. If it was just a matter of driving the vehicle across town to get the test done, I'd say why not, let's do it even though it may not be required.
I don't have a trailer big enough to haul the vehicle on, nor a truck to pull that kind of weight easily, especially over two 10K+ foot mountain passes.
Maybe there's a mobile service available? But then 3-1/2 hours one way would it really be cost effective?

Apologies if I distracted this thread too much over this topic. I totally understand it's an untenable situation for you to get this done, but I'm interested still so I'll shoot you a PM.

Got to get this out of my driveway.
Price dropped to $12K before I move it to Craigslist.

Good on you for listing here & reaching out to the cruiser community on mud first.
Most of this cool stuff ( factory locked 80 series ) goes directly to craigslist and facebook before it even makes it here.
( Classy…. but probably the reason why it‘s still in your driveway and not someone elses )
You may try listing on the local Colorado Rising Sun Forum if you haven’t already — This is frequented by Colorado cruiser folks who will likely come and check it out in person rather than sparring with you on a publlic forum.
GLWS!!

No, not a member there, not yet at least. However, I may have met you at another Mud members home around Christmas?
If you'll click on the sellers name, a little box pops up with an option to "start conversation". Click that and you can DM the seller
