It differs by state, it sounds like, but in California you do. If you're not driving it, you pay a smaller annual fee to register it as "non-operable." If you don't pay it for 20 years, it adds up with penalties, fees, etc. Something to keep in mind if you're buying a car in California that you ever plan on registering here.

Wow ... that's got to put a dent in the "behind the house" salvage yards.

Sounds like another method CA is using to try to get all old cars out of their state.

No - it's just their way of charging money for everything. Don't get me started on that...

I doubt that out of the several dozens of cars I've owned that even half a dozen had titles. I've taken Bills of Sale to the DMV written on notebook paper and walked out with the registration. The only problem I've had was when I did not know who the last person was that registered it. If that Bill of Sale wasn't signed by the person it was registered to last, then you have a little more work to do.

Doesn't say if it's a big block or small block?

Big block or small block, are you crazy, this isn't a chevy . No such thing in a Pontiac.

I was ready to laugh at his price, and was disappointed to see that he forgot to include it.

I'm just speechless at the "just about origina" 6cyl GTO.

Same here... Looks like a decent project so may be a good deal...depending on price. I always hate it when folks post pics of a fully restored car and tell you how much it'll be worth at Mecum when it's done. This guy robbed us of the punchline by not posting the 'as is' price.

That guy has a great sense of humor. The first line of the ad says "this car is beyond repair," .... He'll start the bidding at $12,000.

Leads to an interesting discussion on what a 1974 455sd vin with a few useable parts like heads and block is worth.
