Ok, so here is a car that I was going to try and buy myself. Texas is pretty horrible about titles and all that nonsense. The original owner lost the title. He sold it to this guy with a bill of sale (second owner)...then I wanted to buy it. I dont know any way to get around the title in texas...but I do want to see someone take this car from a state where it doesn't matter as much maybe. Nobody has cut this car up, all of the lovely rust that you see is very easily sanded through with the exception of a couple of pictured parts of the top where the vinyl held water. It was ordered in lubbock tx. It lived its entire life there, and is still there. Lubbock is extremely dry and dusty. So not a lot of the usual rust problems. The floor pans still have the original paint on them. The trunk had oil spilled in it at one point. We wiped away the oil and below it is beautiful green paint. So there are no rust problems there. It will need someone that is really good at body work for one dented quarter panel...possibly needing replaced. The car had some neat options from the factory. This guy liked green. Green paint, vinyl, interior, even wheels...with the redline tires. White accent stripe. And blackout hood. 4 speed. The motor is not original sadly. It is now a 440 that doesn't work. The current owner has no idea whats wrong with the motor, Im just assuming it is junk. The car was a drag car at one point. Traction bars added, some type of drag shifter added...I didnt get a good look at the shifter, just noticed that nothing new was cut for it and it could be removed without an issue. Its a great start for a project as far as not having to do floors or trunk or deal with ANY bondo. You can see through the paint down to the metal on most of this car. The entire interior will need to be redone. You will need to even buy seats. All of the glass is good except I think the windshield. In addition to pictures he sent me I have a video that I took when I went and took a look at the car. This car is not for sale by me. The owner told me I could keep anything I sold it for over 6000. I really don't care though. Just a good west texas car that I would love to see have a good home. Trying to do a good deed so maybe I can get into mopar heaven eventually. No title. If anyone knows a way to definitely get a title in texas, tell me how and I will go pick this car up myself. Thanks
