The cab companies in my town used Coronets like this one, with the slant 6. I thought the /6, with those solid lifters, was a very noisy engine inside those cabs.

Great intro and interesting trunk reveal and go through. I know you are just going to have the Dodge be a parts car, but I was just talking to my brother in law a week ago about how to get a title for a car that doesn't have one at least in Nevada so I don't know if it would work in North Carolina. He said that he got a title for the car, by giving it to a tow yard for about a month. There is a law that if they have the car for a certain amount of time they can get a mechanics lein title for the car. It might be an option to look into if not for this car, but maybe for a future purchase.

The system in Britain & Ireland is a little different that car can be legal be put back on the road. The title or as we call it “Logbook” can be easily applied for wether the vehicle has been written off or not. There’s a way around everything.

I wouldn't part that car out, you could just swich the parts you want and put that car back up for sale. In some states, no title is not much of a hinderence. Some states dont require a title for a car over 15 years old. And people in the rust belt still would really appreciate that car.
@ObsoleteAutomotive4 ай бұрын
You still need paperwork even in non title states. And in my state no title means you never get one. So it’s parts only. Plus you’d have to find another car to part out to fix this one.
