Chrysler 300 ???

then try to get a title for it....thennnnnnnnn....RESTORE IT!

In Alabama cars 1972 and older are not issued a title. Usually a previous regestration and a dated and signed bill of sale are required to transfer ownership
In a case of an abandoned car such as this I think filing a mechanic's lein will yield a vehicle regestration after a one month waiting period. A physical inspection of the vehicles VIN by a police officer will also be required. [/QUOTE]

I don't anticipate any problems with paper work. I can always have some attorney get it right if the need arises. That will mean I have just invested more into it. I still have my Marine Corps attitude after all these years so I am still pretty thick headed.

Trimmer, cool car. The 1955 Chrysler 300 was the first factory vehicle to produce 300hp due to its hemi heads. This car was the first in a special line of Chrysler letter cars that spanned from 1955-1965. First, get 'er out of the dirt to try to save the floor pans and chassis. Second, feel free to send me over a pic or rubbing of the VIN and I can decode it for you. The car's red color is neat as most were white or black. Questions about whether the car had any power options such as power windows or power seats or factory AC (very rare). Given how far gone the car is, it might be worth more in parts as a restoration in the current economy can quickly put someone under water. I've got two letter cars ('64 and '65) so I'm treading carefully on that front right now. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to have me research the car further.

Thanks TorqueChap, car has power steering, power brakes, power windows and power seat. Unfortunately no AC. I an attaching more current photos so you can see it is much better than a parts car. It is still very solid. When I look at cars like "Green Invy" and compare the two I'd rather have mine. I do admire the determination of those folks and wish them the best of luck with their projects.

still looks like a solid floor and those other parts look like some good elbow grease is in order.the glass for the guages might be a little hard to replace unless you can get a glass place to cut some.I myself hope you will rebuild it.

Those pictures look great, This is in better shape then i thought, i did at first think it would at the least need a new floor in it, but man, this thing is looking really solid.. I imagine when you dig into it she may need a few things but it looks better then some ive seen rebuilt over the years. Ill second the hope you rebuild it, sure would be a cool cruiser for sure..
