I agree on the comment above, $5500 CAD will be a tough one. It's one thing to say it's worth that, it's another to actually get that. I sold a '68 Monaco 500 2 years ago, it was similar but less optioned. It was a 2 door hardtop, 383 2 bbl (I put a 4 bbl on it). Bucket seats with buddy seat, column shift, power windows, passenger reclining seat, 2.76 gear rear end. No tilt or A/C though. I sold it locally for $4500, as a nice running / driving car. I'll attach a few pictures.
As for the lost registration, it's not hard to do the ICBC lost regi thing, I have done it a few times myself. It's just time consuming with a lot of steps.
Go down to your local Autoplan broker, and tell them you need to fill out for lost regi. You need a bill of sale for the car to get started, if you don't have one (you didn't hear this from me), get your buddy to write one out, pay him a dollar for the car or something. You then have to fill out a statutory declaration about how you came about the car and how you want to restore it and put it back on the road but the paperwork is missing. You have to get that notarized, which here in town, the lady at our Autoplan is a notary, but if yours doesn't have one, you'll have to go see a notary. Then you send the bill of sale, with the stat dec, and a $7 cheque to Driver Testing and Vehicle Information (the address will be in the forms you get from Autoplan).
You then wait anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months, and they will send you back either the last known registered owner of the car, or a note saying they couldn't find any registration. If you get the last known owner, you have to then mail a transfer form with a note asking the previous owner to please sign the transfer form. You have to send it registered mail through Canada Post, so that it gets returned to you. If it gets returned without being opened by the previous owner, DON'T open it, take it in to Autoplan. They will then sign it into your name. If it is opened, and the previous owner has signed it over, good on you. If they say they want the car back, then you have to come up with some sort of amount they owe you for storing it for them since 1992, say $100/month .... they probably won't want to pay $39K for the car.
If it comes back with no history of registration from ICBC, then you take that letter in, and they will sign it over to you with the seller on your bill of sale as the seller on the transfer form.
Only THEN when you go to insure the car, will they tell you if it has been tagged with a vehicle inspection in the past, and then you'll have to fix the car and get it inspected..... ask me how I know all this.
