Haywood would know better than me, but I don't think Aurora ever certified the GRX for sale in Canada. I seem to recall it was sold in the U.S. only ( kinda like the Bricklin) in which case they would've been certified by NHTSA or its 1981 equivalent. |
If the NHSTA ever had their hands on one of these cars for crash testing?
I have no knowledge of it and it was before my time there.
Probably only had to meet the bumper 5mph standards.
Thats why the bumpers stick out as they had shocks in them.
I know that one of the office staff was a member of SAE so I'm sure everything was above board as this was a Manufactured Car and NOT a Kit Car.
As far as "Certified" goes this car WAS certified for sale in Canada and the US.
I have some 11"x17" dealer promo posters with the picture of the car that was used in the 1982 Playboy magazine article.
And on the back is all the dimensions and details etc.
WARRANTY:12 Months or 12,000 miles Factory warranty.
Certification: Conforms to all United States and Canadian safety and emissions regulations under U.S./Canadian Auto Pact.
I should maybe put those posters in the Classifieds here?
They have always been kept flat and never been rolled up.
