For some reason that car looks vaguely familiar. Probably just my imagination.

They pulled the motor & trans out of it first - wonder what they were.

Body tag says it was a Royal Plum w/ Parchment custom buckets car. Damn.
You can see some of the original color in this pic:

Oh boy, brought a 72 dodge dart home in buckets once, but it wasn't that bad or expensive

Ok I give up what is this;

Really rusty exhaust manifolds...

Looks like the photo should be rotated counter clockwise, I guess it is a pile of parts/junk with a set of exhaust manifolds on top.

Umm. Those are RAIII manifolds from a goat or a bird and a little blasting would make them look pretty good.

Someone looking for original parts would pay handsomely.

Yeah, they're RA manifolds but my goodness...if you want money for something at least pull the stuff out so you can see what is being sold. There were two or three photos in that ad that I couldn't identify and the manifolds are the only thing I recognize in that one. For instance, what's he trying to show us here?
He'd have to pay ME to go through all of that scrap... I mean it looks like he literally disassembled the car and threw the parts on the ground as he went. Then he went back into the house and came out 20 years later and decided it was worth $5000 to allow someone to clean up the mess.

It is the automotive equivalent of Where's Waldo.

I don't think that car was 'minted' with no dash pad.

Is that blue engine paint fogged all over the upper radiator hose?

Epic pain in the a** for not having a title in California.

I'm curious. Do you think the price doubles if it's a Catalina and not a star chief?

It always cracks me up when people sell cars with no title. If you lost the paper, you can always get a replacement. The only reason to sell with no title is:

1. Seller doesn't really own the car.
2. Seller hasn't paid registration in 20 years and hopes the problem will disappear if sold with no title.

My firebird was bought with a California title but hadn't been registered since like 1992. I titled it in Florida so as not to deal with it.

I think that's kind of a cool car.

Why would not paying registration be a problem? Reggie expires, throw the plates away ...end of story. It's not like you HAVE to have a car registered if it's not being driven.

Ton of reasons not to have an actual title ... in NY they don't issue titles for vehicles in the 60's. Just transferable registration after they take your original title.

I never worry about the actual paper title ... have the VIN run before you buy, most State Police will do that ... no hits, no worries, proceed from there. Have it titled mail order, perfectly legal, transfer title to the new state, no problem.

Outside the collector car market very, very few people have paper titles for a 60's, 70's car parked out back for the last 25 years.

I still have the original title for my 68 from Tenn. Car hasn't been registered in 30 years .... NY would register it in 15 minutes .... but they would TAKE the original paper title ... so of course if I ever register it in NY I would try to use a photocopy. Not going to give up the original piece of paper.

I've titled and registered tons of vintage bikes that had nothing, zippo, nada ... not a single piece of paper work except a bill of sale. Now they are happily plying the roads of New England perfectly legal.
