I cant believe this is up to almost 8 grand. Everything on the car is destroyed, but i guess if you need a VIN....

Maybe the frame is ok, but i doubt it.

Not to mention a salvage title. The VIN # would be of little value.

Alabama doesnt even title cars older than 1982, so if you were an Alabama buyer, you would just need a bill of sale to register it. Then i assume you could sell it to someone out of state with the Alabama registration and they could get a clear title in their state, if it is a state that titles antique cars. However, i am not really sure how all of that works, so i could be wrong. Still, way too much money for that car. I just asked the seller if the frame was bent and he said it was. I figured it had to be.
