Not as nice as most pics in the category, but not bad for free.....

Ended up being the 70's car class 1st place winner.... All was done to car was and interior strip/scrub put back, and a coin op car wash..

I am missing 2 of the hub caps, and some misc interior trim pieces...

Here is a comparison shot of the dingy side trim before and after a scrubbing...

After

All in all I am happy with it... i have some stuff located, just having to gather the funds... Still have a 400/727 I can use, or a 440/727. But for now the Slant 6 runs fine. I am going to put it back to a std tranny if i leave it a slant car, it had been converted to an auto, but the pedal assembly is still intact, just have to find the eq bar bellhousing tranny flywheel etc...

I am not a fan of yellow cars, and I dont know what it is about this car but I wouldn't change the paint or scheme one little bit.....
I have a few more pics but wont bore ya with em in the post... but here is the slide show link from "bucket"

A nice survivor. Here's my '79 Aspen.

 

Lovin' the first pic!

 

Way cool car!!!!!! I agree on the yellow paint.... Save it!!!

 

I didn't see no car in that first pic, you sure there was one?

 

me to...I like the ***** on the left

 

Ummm yeah, well there used to be a yellow car there...

 

You know me... A sucker for anything that is yellow!!!!!

 

I'm a sucker for blonde....orange and white..

 

nice car i seen a green one up where i live just like it with a 6 banger in it would of loved to have it.

 

You say the car was free?

 

free is always good

 

Agreed!

 

Yep it was given to me... A friend of my oldest son left it behind when he moved, the master cyl was out and he isnt very mechanically inclined, but a long story short landlord was going to have it hauled of to the squish yard, and my son called and ask if i wanted it.... hooked up trailer, grabbed wench and rescued it.... got it to my place, poured a splash of gas in carb and drove it off trailer using the emergency brake... But yes it was free.... master cyl was 14.99, lost title fee cost 5.25, so i have a whopping 19.99 in it plus sales tax...

 

that`a great, f bodies are a fun car to drive too!

 

Especially when you get rid of the rubber biscuits up front and the rubber crap wrapped aroung the leaf srpings...

 

Saved from the junkyard! That's what I like to hear. Were you able to get a title even though the old one was lost? I didn't know that could be done. A lot of guys would be interested in learning what you have to do to get it.

 

Oh CRAP!!! havent checked this post in a loooonggg while. But to answer your question, in Texas yes, all needed is for the registered owner file for a lost title. As in one of the posts up ^^^^^^^ there it just costs $5.25 here. They just void the first original title (the document no.) and issue a new title. It usually is less than 10 days for new title to show up in the mail box.
I would think all or most or some states have the same, as to cost and ease I wouldn't know. (Reasonings behind why I think that is, what happens after a "natural" disaster, ie: floods, wildfire tornado, hurricane.)

Although states do have some really strange laws.

 

Just last week I bought a Geo Tracker with a clear Indiana Title. I went to the BMV and the clerk discovered that it had a Missouri salvage title in 1997 and they missed that when the previous owner titled it. So now I have to forfeit my normal title for a rebuilt title.
