Re: rebodied with out salvage a title
We talk about all of this stuff going on,but my neightbor is into building early iron,and some of the stuff is just whacky.They build cars with one year body,and another year frame,the body may be so rusted that it doesnt have numbers on it,but the frame does.Other guys use a totally rusted body with an aftermarkt frame and late model engine.How do you keep tabs on cars that are 70 years old and havent been on the road in 50 years?He just got a title for his 32 ford using a pencil trace of some numbers he found on the frame,which I think isnt the one that came with the body on the car,and the last titled owner was back in 1953,and has been dead for at least 30 years.The frame was found in a barn,the body was upside down in a corn field 1000 miles away with chickens growing in it,and not one mechanical part was anywhere to be found.It is now a straight axle gasser style hot rod with a bigblock chevy,zoomie pipes,4 speed,4" chop,and 14" wide prostreet type rubber under it.The orginal frame has been boxed and butchered,the body needed a cowl,floors,rockers,and a ton of patchwork.So what will people be doing with 69 camaros in the year 2050?
