If t can be had for way under value and you are just looking to enjoy it, go for it. The best cars sometimes end up being the cheapest thrills.

Run away. Because after you put all the time and money into it, the guy it was stolen from, half a century ago will resurface and get it back. You will then be out the car and all your money.

Agreed...and btw, Mr. NJSteve is an attorney...(and Mopar owner) so you can't go wrong with his advice.

Remember the Directly Proportional Rule: [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

The likelihood of the original owner showing up with a legitimate legal claim to the car, is directly proportional to how much money you have sunk into the car. If you put nothing into it, they will never bother you. If you spend $100K restoring it, they will immediately pop up right as you pull it out of the driveway the moment it's finished.
