20 Project Cars & Stockpile of Parts (Once in a Lifetime 914 Only Estate Sale in So Cal!), Sale will Start at 11am Tomorrow! Options

[SchantzMD]

So I've finally come to the realization that I need to clear out my massive hoard. Every time I go behind my shop I end up looking around for a while and then walk away looking like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Also, due to my job and a new baby I've decided that I'll never have the time to spend cleaning, advertising, and showing the massive amount of items that I've collected, so I've decided that I'm going to have a one day Estate Auction Type sale instead in the hopes of moving most if not all of it.

I'm thinking about setting the date of the sale for late May to late July 2017 and what I'd like to do is get some feedback from everyone over the next few weeks to see what dates would be convenient for you. Also, for those of you that can't attend I may add an online proxy-type bid, but that will depend on the feedback I receive.

Please reply to this post with a date when you could attend an estate sale (May, June, or July) along with if you can attend in person or only via an online sale. Also please note if you'd be interested in a car, parts, or both. Please plan on the sale to be located in the Inland Empire area of Southern California with an open house style viewing the weekend before the sale and 3-4 hours before the actual day of the sale.

20 Cars in total (Rollers from $400-$1500, Shells from $50-$100)

Also please don't contact me with requests to view or purchase anything before the sale. I want to keep this fair for everyone and don't want to have anyone feel that they've missed out on something due to preferential treatment.


Thanks,
Mike

How does a "CA REG 135 Bill of Sale" become a legal clean title, particularly for us out-of-state hopefuls (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It's going to vary from state to state so as another poster mentioned it's best to check with your local state DMV and abide by what they say.

For what it's worth I have registered more than a dozen no paperwork Bill of Sale cars in CA and from past encounters I've experienced 3 scenarios. To be honest it's not difficult, but it can be annoying.

A) Walk in with a Bill of Sale and the vehicle, they VIN verify the vehicle, look over the historical paperwork I have, give me more paperwork to fill out, I cut them a check for fees and registration and I'm on my way with the car registered in my name and the Title on the way (I've also had AAA and mobile VIN inspectors VIN check the vehicle for me, AAA is free but the mobile guys charge).

B) Walk in with a Bill of Sale and the vehicle, they say I'm missing signature XX on Form YY and that I have to obtain it, I get the form and missing signature and come back and do scenario A.

C) Walk in with a Bill of Sale and the vehicle, they say I have to track down some past owner from 20-30 years ago, I pay a few dollar fee for an owner/address history search, mail off a storage/mechanics lien letter with proof of receipt to each prior registered owner telling them that if they have any interest in the car it will cost them XX much and that they have to send a response to DMV within 30 days. The letters either come back to me as undeliverable or the old owner never responds because they remember selling the car. I go back to DMV after the 30 day wait period and do scenario A.


Hope this helps,
Mike
