Saw this when it was for sale on BaT not too long ago. It’s quite strange how it turned out if true, very unlucky buyer.

Was listed twice, sold to first buyer, but the second time did not meet reserve so above buyer must have bought it after auction.

Buying sight-unseen SA "restored" rigs on BaT for all-the-money.

What could possibly go wrong?

Technically Central America but valid point on buying unseen a “restored” car, one can cut lots of corners if the intention is to sell to a buyer they never have to deal with.

I remember seeing videos somewhere of Chip teaching Joanna how to drive this truck; cool rig, not worth $35k IMHO without a running motor. Best of luck to the seller

Or the title!!!!

No title, and most likely no import papers. I have looked into registering a gasoline import car in CA (where the current owner is also) and from what I read there is no way of legally registering a non-US market car (gasoline and originally a non-EPA approved), even the pre ‘74 ones. Registering in another state won’t work either. I know people still do it and somehow get around the process but personally I wouldn’t want the stress of DMV revoking my registration. I got lucky finding my original CA ‘65.
