Affordable Superbird

[super-bee_ski]

From DC.com:

"That car sat on the roof of that wagon since it was totaled in 1972,it was 12 mi from me until last winter.It was a Tor Red 6 pk console 4 s pd.I have had the fender scoops and console since 1982,the diamond corner pieces are on my bird,I could have had it for just removing it but wasn't interested,the owner was a personal friend of mine.He had removed all the numbers years ago,probably still somewhere in the barn.He passed away at the age of 75 about 12 yrs ago."

and

"I also "had" the bare block that I bought from the original owner .He kept the some of the drive train when he sold it after he wrecked it to the fellow that I mentioned above.I sold the block to a fellow in NJ.about 15 yrs ago,the Dana went into my 70 Bee in place of the 4.10 rear,the transmission is in a 69 Hemi RR about 20 mi from me.The car was sold new at H.E.Wagner Motors,Johnstown,PA.also about 25 mi,never left the area."

So why would someone take the VIN tag and Fender tag off that car other than just to say he had it or for illegal purposes? The seller goes on to say he knows who has the tag(s) and maybe can acquire them, i wonder the price for them.

Apparently whoever took that tag and title didn't take the VIN dash tag or the VIN-marked parts or they would be co-located. Sounds to me like someone took the data tag and title thinking that would prevent someone from rebodying the car and didn't realize those items are worthless compared to the VIN-marked parts.

That isn't even a parts car anymore. I'm sorry, but that pile isn't worth diddly.

The poster on DC was adamant that the owner of the yard would not allow the numbers to be put back into circulation, and that the tags were most likely in a barn on the property. I believe the scrapper, now deceased, was probably on the up and up. Yet the seller states pretty confidently that you can get them if you want, which makes me think they have subsequently left the property.
