Looked at all the Chevy's and nothing there tripped my trigger. However, the guy did have a lot of project cars that may go cheap. Maybe you should make a trip. Might find a deal.[/quote']

Yes, I saw a couple of d24 parts cars there that probably would have the bmc parts I need =)

I looked under Plymouth, the first one was not a 32 Plymouth, but a p15. Go down the list further and they have the very rare Plymouth Monza???? Tony C

A Plymouth Monza would be a rare bird. However, if you look at the Chevy list you'll see even more rare cars, like a 20's 4 door Hardtop.:rolleyes: There's also other rare hardtops like the 49 Chevy Hardtop. That one even has posts.:D Makes you wonder about the auction company and if they know what they're selling.

Now I know why I've never been to any of their auctions.

Hmmm......somehow, that Plymouth Monza looks a lot like a Corvair.

They must have gotten tired of trying to guess the model year on the last cars on the Plymouth list. They started calling them all 9999 for model year...including this one.

A 9999 Dodge "Corante" four door......

The people who go out to catalog the cars either don't know what some are, or get tired of making a list. And the person who types up the stuff must not know about such things, either. This guy has a lot of cars---must have had

plenty of play money over the years. Would be interesting to see what some of this stuff brings.....I would think many of the outdoors rusty ones will not be all so high.

>>Ooooh...a Dodge Rambler Cross Country wagon.....<<

Guys,I'm sorta familiar with that one. I am the owner of the only 1958 American Motors Cross Country stationwagon in the country. The NC DMV clerk refused to issue me a new title naming it as a "Rambler" because she didn't have "Rambler" in her computer data base. I explained to her that it WAS a Rambler,and that American Motors didn't even exist in 1958,but she wasn't going to let a little thing like that stop her,so she gave me a choice of having a American Motors title or no title at all.

Then again,for all I know,"American Motors" is Eubonics for "Rambler".

This same clerk also screwed me on the title for my 1937 Dodge truck. Never mind that it was sold new in Virginia in 1938 and had a clear Virginia title going back all that time,I wasn't allowed to get a NC title for it because the original engine was no longer in it,and it had originally been titled by the engine number. I was told I would be getting a new NC title for it as a "1937 homebuilt pickup",but have been waiting 8 months so far and still no new title. Last time I talked to the DMV inspector a couple of months ago he told me he had lost my original June 1938 title and the other titles I gave him for proof of ownership,and he was going to have to start over from scratch again. I don't even know if I'm going to be able to renew the license plates again or not.

NC really sucks when it comes to old cars.

Knuckle......sometimes it's easier to play the game using those outfits that will get you a title from Georgia, or somewhere, for around $150 to $250. You sell them the car on paper, as I recall, then they use their resources to apply for a new title. You may have to pay for a set of tags from that state for a year.....but basically no big deal. You should wind up with a title more to your liking (I think). Then, you should have a workable document, which you could convert to a NC title.

Some of those outfits advertise on the internet.

I was planning on doing that and have even done it in the past,but the state of California sued a few of these companies and implied or threatened to file criminal conspiracy charges against them a couple of years ago,and it seems like most (all?) of them are now shut down. I had used Titles Unlimited in Alabama,and they are one of the companies targeted,and they are now out of business. California DMV claimed people were using these services to avoid paying property taxes on expensive vehicles by getting new kit cars worth 60 grand or more titled as a 1932 Ford (for example),and then claiming they are worth 10 grand or so for tax purposes.

Besides,I HAD clear and legal titles for both the 58 Rambler and the 37 Dodge truck that had been issued in Virginia and New York,and STILL ended up getting screwed by the NC DMV.
