On my way to look at it.   No Title.  Don't know how hard it is to get one any more.

Its not a pleasant process, but it's doable.  I've been through it twice in the last 3 years now.

It's an automatic with sunroof. No interior. Body's all there in primer. Pretty solid body. All the glass is there.

Motor is in it intact but no wiring etc.   Guessing it's a 68. I think it's fuel injected

Well, I bought a bit of a mystery.  The body number and chassis number are both 0291215 indicating an Oct of 1963 car.  This is backed up by the overrider bumpers and the square push button headlight switches.  However the car has 4 lug wheels and a fuel injected motor with an automatic transmisssion.  So I guess it's a  1964 model car with a later motor and trans, but the 4 lug wheels have me puzzled?    I also thought it had new floor pans because I found a rusted out set in the car, but now it's apparant they were not from this car and the floorboards appear to be original.  They aren't bad but the seat tracks have rusted away where they meet the floor, I guess from standing water.
