Saw this car/Ad yesterday. I thought I should post it here.... Being a 70 Polara with a white interior makes it VERY uncommon. This is only the 4th 1970 polara I have ever seen with a white interior.
Looks like it may be solid but no title and four grand?

Wow, nice. Who in their right mind would just abandon that? The guy must not have a full bag of marbles.

It looks like an early build car....with the upgraded interior. He's from Missouri, whaddya expect?

He looks 2k overpriced and unless you are in the same State he is, I don't agree on his lost title comments. If is was so easy, why did't he do that?

 

[polara71]

I completely agree Pete...... Getting a title here is not that easy. How do I prove it isn't stolen, or it is mine legally

Missouri has a process similar to Oklahoma. The process here is called Title 42, which is a mechanic's lien. You have possession 30 days or more, and send the paperwork in. It involves some work, but we have title agents in OK that do this for a fee, and makes things easier. A registered letter goes to the last known address of the registered owner. if that letter is undeliverable, you will get paperwork to take to a tag agent, and get title and registration at that time. Total process takes about six weeks here.

My response to the seller of the Polara would be the same - get the damn thing tagged and titled in YOUR name first, and we'll talk then. I don't touch ANYTHING without a title, unless that vehicle can be proven to have come from a non-title-state to start with. Oklahoma knows what states require what paperwork.

BTW, in ALL states that require a title, the CURRENTLY REGISTERED OWNER is the ONLY person that can apply for a so-called "lost title". A buyer of a vehicle can NOT do this.

Minus a title, this is a $1,000 parts car to me.

Has anyone done a bonded title before? Some states (AL, GA, NY etc) do not require titles for cars older than 10 yrs. I have bought some out of state cars with last registration and bill of sale, then FL will title the car-it depends on the state the car comes from. Florida cars require a title of some sort. Without registration there is a place in Tampa that will run VIN checks and with get a bill of sale you get a bonded title good for use in Florida. I use the company to run traces on cars without titles to see if they are stolen or salvage only etc. Doug

Indiana, the police run the numbers to see if stolen, then they give u a paper work that you take too the license branch
