Purchased 1968 Convertible Firebird in January 1993. Bought it in Central IN. It was sold to me as a 400 4spd. I ran the numbers and it was a 400 4spd. I purchased it and then sent in for the PHS. It came back as a 350 3spd. Originally it was Verdoro Green but it is red now. Only paid 5K for it and it has been a great car.
Purchased 69 CR Judge in November of 2013 from NW IN. I took the Title to the BMV and ran into a problem. The guy I bought it from never titled it. He bought it without an engine. He had a correct block purchased from Butler Classics. He had the #48 heads from another project. The car had the original Tranny and rear end and is still wearing 60% of the original paint. Back to the BMV problem. The Maryland title had "Gift" in the selling price. Since the guy I bought it from never titles it and the bill of sale had this guys name on it their was a problem. After a few hours the BMV agreed to issue the Title with Exempt on the mileage. I am OK with that. I looked up the guys name on the Maryland Title and found a phone #. I called it and got lucky. I asked the guy why it had "Gifted" in the selling price. He told me his son was in a bind and needed to get a loan. He gifted the Title over to him for a loan but he was not suppose to take the car. This gentleman had 12-15 cars and did not notice it was gone before it was to late. He was able to tell me he purchased the car from a divorcing couple in South Carolina in 2003. That is all I know.
