I dont have that kind of money. It's my fault for not looking it up but who would have if this was their first time purchasing a car like this. We don't even feel good about the car anymore anyway. Bad taste, so now it will sit in the garage i guess. Until next year.

Perhaps speak with the person you purchased it from and have him apply for a "lost title" here in PA. They will issue a duplicate which you can then use to sell the car to someone else.

I am so glad I moved away from NJ in 1976!!! The only good thing there is the shore! Mark

So, I spoke to him & the agent at DVM. The past owner said that it would be like I gave him back the car without any money. So, in essence HE owns the car. I also felt like if I went to sell it, that would sound kind of shady. "oh yeah no worries just give me your money & I will have some other guy in Philly mail you the title, & the car is right here in Jersey" It seems lile because of these strict regulations I must fix the vehicle. I did some research, thanks to Mr. Mustang & you are right, the mods are not that hard to install, I am just worried about drilling into the body of this beautiful roadster.
