E12 5 speed trans (?) $400 on CL Los Gatos

so you buy a car for 400 bucks - have the tranny removed and figure out what to do with the rest. we know the tranny is worth at least 400 bucks
 
there are several states that don't issue titles on old cars. Alabama is one, but there are more. race cars don't need titles.
 
It’s bought…
There is always a tow truck driver willing to take cars like that it may cost you 100 to 200 but they’ll take them
So, I am now the proud owner of this $400 beauty, not sure about proud.... This is a complete but rough car as you can image after sitting for outside for 25 years. All tires flat, no key and the dirt was about body level. It took about an hour to load up, we used 2 come-alongs, 2 tow straps and somehow all tires held air. Then it was a 200 mile drive to it's final resting place in Grass Valley. Along the way I needed to fill up the old gas tank, that's were I saw the hitchhiker mouse running on the trailer, I don't think that's what he had planned for the day. This car will be parted out, the 5 speed will be rebuilt, and all usable parts pulled.

Now it's time to pop a cold one and sit back and enjoy the beauty up here. Oh s#*t I still have to unload it.
Cheers,
Ed
