So I'm heading up Friday night to pick up a 73 2.0 liter without a title. It's not very complete, but it is VERY VERY solid.

It looks like the guy that originally started tearing everything apart was doing a really nice job and had a really nice car to start with. I found just a little rust in the rear trunk and the passenger side below the door hinge is a little rusty but pretty easily fixable. The floor pans are solid and not rusty at all. The front trunk has the center section cut out, but it could easily be patched back in. The hell hole has no rust and the long looks perfect. It has never been hit and I could not find a dent on it.

Now I'm not really looking for another project, but if someone was looking for a roller to put their parts on, this would be a perfect car. The problem is that it does not have a title. The guy that I bought it from never transferred it and who knows who the last person it was titled to.

Has anyone had any luck in Washington getting a title for an "abandoned" car like this? The DOL website makes it sound like I'm out of luck, but it would be a shame to chop this one up.

I looked at it last weekend and I'm heading back up Friday night with my trailer to pick it up. I will post pics after I drag it home.
