Wanted: 70 Challenger cheap/bad shape (Updated 06/15)

Looking for a 1970 Challenger that is complete minus the drivetrain. Together or apart, doesn't matter.

My story is here if you want to read it: http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/f11/looking-my-dads-old-challenger-57844/

TL;DR: I was trying to help my dad look for the car he bought from my uncle who purchased it new. I found my dad dead on his living room floor 3 months after my step-mother ran off with another man, I won't go into details but you can use your imagination. I continued the search after his death and almost 2 years to do the day I found him, I located the car. The guy who owns it invited me up, has a huge mopar collection that he restored himself. He offered to trade me my fathers car for one in comparable shape.

I am looking for a car as close to this as possible:

As you can see, she's not in good shape.

I won't make any reservations here; I am trying to trade for this car as close as I possibly can. It makes no sense for me to trade him a car that is in better shape, nor does it do him any justice to try and swap him a car in worse shape.

Everything is there minus the drive train. He has gathered all of the parts to start restoration but is doing 2 Super Bee's first.

I'm hoping someone out there can help me out. I'm not looking to rip anyone off, but I'm also not looking to pay a ridiculous amount of money either.

Thanks.

Hmm couldn't find one, must have sold it already. Some nice ones down there but they're complete. Maybe I'll win the lottery tomorrow night

Ah thanks. Do you know what all is involved with getting a title for a vehicle that doesn't have one? I've heard it's a huge pain here in Ohio.

Every state is different. I know you can get one for most any older car from Vermont. Last I knew it cost $895.

check at DMV before you buy a car with no title, was going to buy a challenger in Florida and the guy selling the car wouldnt go to DMV with me so it broke the deal.Alot of states do accept bill of sale but just be careful. Good luck

 

[Drew1968]

Yea I'm thinking I just want to avoid that altogether. The likelihood of me finding a car in the shape I want anyway is pretty low, which means it's going to fall into that "have a guy pick it up" range...and if there's no title I'm not sure I want to even mess with it unless it's a stellar deal.

 

[challenger6pak]

It is no longer on Craigs. I am guessing it is being used for parts.

Bumped and added changes to original post. Thanks.
