It's basically a roller. Someone who bought an FD and had no clue what he was getting into.

**** $5,000 for a roller sounds great to me, and he'd probably take $3,800 if you offered it.. I've seen bare shells sell for $3,000. this one comes with a core engine, working tranny(probably) etc.

needs a good $1500 worth of body work, and quite possibly a $3,000 rebuild. But that equals a straight bodied, running FD for $8,300. Not ****** bad eh?

Looks perfect for an LSX Swap, Manual, Montego, repaint the whole thing Yellow and Red, like Series7 likes it, and call it Ronald McDonald 2.0 !

Now if the car has not been registered in over 6years ( from what they told me) the cars info is taken out of the system. So when you go to get the new tags there are not back fees from it.

That's only if no one has run that vin # for that long.if anybody runs that vin or looks up registration info it will take 6 years from that date to erase.im not exactly sure on that but it is what I was told by few people,DMV workers.

I wonder a Salvage Title tag would also fall off after 6 years of not being in the DMV system.

^i had a 68 mustang fastback about 8 years ago.previous owner(my uncle)had wrecked it and got a salvage title ,it sat for around 8 years before I bought it and fixed it a d when I went to d v to register it(with salvage title in my hand)they said it wasn't in the systems and started a fresh title on it.when I received my new title it was clean not salvage.but that was some time ago so don't know if its any different now.
