Hey all got my 92 sc400 from my father who treated it like one of his children. He always said it was rarer because it was a California model. It is mine now he died a few years ago and it has been a project since but another guy told me last week hey that is a California build. So what does that mean and how would you know that and does it even matter. It was built in 12/91 and is number 582 . thanks Mike

 

It means it has an extra catalytic converter that needs to be thrown out if you do a big build.

It's nothing special. Just has cali emissions, which can be viewed as either a good or a bad thing.

 

Yup, mine is a Cali car too. I'm unsure whether the extra cat is still there, there's one on each half of the true dual setup, right about below the dash in location. I actually found out when Darryl redid my ECU and was like, "uhh, this is a cali ECU, I checked and you have a cali car". Not a big deal in terms of value or perceived rarity.

 

So the first thing I did when I got it was cut the one cat off in the middle area under front seats and left the two coming off the header pipe so I guess it is not a cali car anymore lol......thanks for the info guys Mike
