No title but...

It looks to have the original Eagle GTs on it and that interior looks like it could really be freshened up. Good for parts maybe?

I might be actually. Probably for parts though, not sure if I am able to take on another project right now.

Let alone another crossfire

Well in that case I guess it would depend on your state (the state you live in) and how easy it is to title without one. It's hard to tell with less than perfect pictures and a very vague description but even if you couldn't get it titled it looks to be decent I know I would take the left quarter panel and if that hood is functional yet I would think that would bring a little dough it looks like there is a lot of decent parts on it so if you're interested I say yeah go for it.

Re: Is it worth saving?

How does it work up there with the no title issue? Even for a parts car. I run away from a sale when they start talking about anything but a clean title in their name. I see lots of good parts on it though. At $700 you could make some money on that.

Re: Is it worth saving?

Would have to actually see it to say if its worth saving. But as a parts car someone can easily double their money. The rims, glass/t-tops, hood and Crossfire parts could bring good money.
Yes I said Crossfire parts, some people have them and they run good. (Knocks on wood.....)

Re: Is it worth saving?

Nobody asked if it was a good parts car. The question is if it's worth saving! Why would you part this car out?

Re: Is it worth saving?

$700 sounds like a good deal as long as the t-tops haven't been leaking for a long time.

You seem to have alot of decent cars in your area for reasonable asking prices.

Re: Is it worth saving?

I would try to title it and sell the car whole before parting it out. If you could get a title easily, you could stand to make money on the re-sell possibly. Decent car all around

I think that's why my perception of the value of our cars is apparently skewed

Re: Is it worth saving?

Like everyone else has mentioned, I would find out about the title situation before looking to save it.


Off topic, I really like that 84 5 speed. I would jump on that if I was anywhere near there.

Re: Is it worth saving?

Looks like it's worth saving in Ohio they are all rusted out, that's a keeper. Don't know about the title laws though in Wash.

Save it!

In my state, any car from 1985 and older only needs a bill of sale to obtain a title. Check with your state's DMV.
