[V8] What's the value of a catalytic converter?

[Roger Woodbury]

I have been looking at schmoozing, and oogling a couple of cars recently.
As it happens, one of them is a pretty clean looking 200 20-valve.  

BUT I have think I have discovered why the car is for sale, and it probably
is the best reason to NOT get involved.  There is NO catalytic converter in
the car.

I'll bet that that is the reason the car is being sold:  it cannot be
registered in its own state, and in Maine, even though we have no emissions
testing program out side of Metro-Portland, the car MUST have a converter to
get through state inspection.

So, what is the value of a converter?  For that matter, anyone have any idea
what a converter would cost, if it even was available?
