This guy at work drives an old mustang, classic muscle car and it looks/ sounds amazing.

He starts it up in the parking garage and there is a literal cloud of gasoline smell flowing behind him as he leaves. You can actually tell exactly where he parked by following the trail itself, it is that potent.

Take from that what you will. I think he should be forced to park outside, personally. It is very clearly heavily polluting, though.

No. His car should be impounded and, if fines not paid to have the emissions fixed within some time, the wheels and motor separated from the body and all sent to different scrap yards

Sounds like the rings are shot and he's too stupid to know that.
