Why won't the original owner apply for a lost title? Even if you have to pay for it, it's a lot cheaper than Broadway!
long story short, original owner parked it after steering box went out. Never got around to fixing it, about 10 yrs later got into trouble for it sitting there so a guy hauled it to the Jy for him, my guy caught him on the way, pulled him over, gave him $250 for it. Have no idea who the guy that was hauling it was or the original owner....
And the DMV wont respond to me when I ask them if they can track the last registered owner, sent them the VIN
One option, I know where I can get a vin and title for a 71 parts car but the shell is way too far away. I could always find a cheap stripped shell with title and swap over parts but it would have to be 73+, kind of a crap shoot around here.
Or, I could make it a 71 and chop the top off so nobody will know the diff between the year.........make it a dry weather driver, put a cheap SB in it and a quickie paint job
but that seems a little illegal
I hate to see it go to scrap, its a mopar after all, and its solid
