Still waiting on a title

cosgig said
Yep, you were being missed here!!! What have you been waiting on longer, the snow or that pesky title?? Whats the holdup on the title?? Not getting cooperation from the PO or is it in the hands of the DMV?? Hope whoever it is picks up the pace a little and gets a poor enthusiast his papers so you can get busy!!! By the way, you don't need a title, or even an A body to hang here, you just need the love!!! Hurry back when you get it all settled!! Geof

This title thing is a long story, so in a nutshell, I bought this baby 4 years ago with the promise I'd get a title for it "soon." With so many other projects on the go, it wasn't on the front burner until earlier in 2011 when I could see a window to work on it. I had tried over time to get the transferable registration, but it was this guy's mother's car, they couldn't find it, they went to DMV and got another one (they said), then couldn't find that one. It was like they just didn't give a hoot. So i started this long drawn out process with NYS to get the title. I think I'll have it by Spring 2012, but no guarantees. When I do get it, I have to either clean or replace the fuel tank, I have to swap the tranny out (I have a replacement), and get the old /6 running. From there, I need a new front driver's side floor, a new seat, and just a bunch of cosmetic work. It's a nice straight car and worth bringing back.

We hustled around to move it before it snowed but so far snow has only been a whimper. 3 degrees here this morning though!

Thanks!
