[BaadAssGremlins] Re: re-Vinning

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, and while some frown on this, I have redone over a dozen thru the 
years. And almost all were salvage cars, although two the original owners 
died and if you think FEMA line is long, try DMV to get a old car retitled, 
tons of red tape. Many of the cars I have parted out I saved the titles just 
for that purpose. So another car can live down the road. I won't bother 
getting into a ethical debate either over it, everyone will have a opinion 
on it one way or another! I also just sold a 68 AMX title to a fellow who 
bought a AMX rotting in a field, no title, so stuff happens. Some vendors on 
my vendors list sell titles, complete with dash number and door tag for 
$500-$750, depending on rarity of the AMX. There have been sC/360, Rebel 
Machine titles, all of what some of us deem collectible, for sale.
