Hey fellow Vortex member! I'm interested but not sure how this would work logistically in the era of Covid. I've picked up several cars from Seattle/WA (my 911 two years ago and my Saab 5 years ago), but things are not as easy these days. I bet you'll find a local buyer before I'm able to figure out the logistics.

I've said this before in other posts. Vermont, a non-title state for cars 10 years and older, simply requires a handwritten bill of sale between two people for registration. Go do a check on the VIN at the police station, write out a bill of sale between friends and you're golden. VT even does registration by mail, no need to be a VT resident or have the car present there. Pay the tax and fees and that's it. Lots of guys who dig up old motorcycles and aircooled VWs do this and there are guides online. The VT reg can then become a title in a title state. Here are some links.

Vermont is what you're looking for. That's what the VW Beetle and motorcycle crowd uses. All they need is a bill of sale, $50 and tax for the value of the car. Mail it in and you get plates in the mail in a few weeks. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

The CL post for the 1968 has been deleted. What was the asking price?

It's changed hands a bunch of times. My friends and I have been keeping track of it in an e-mail thread for more than a year. It started off in SoCal (the San Fernando Valley) last year for $6,500, dropping to $6k. I tried to grab it and missed it. It then popped up again in the Inland Empire for $15k, slowly dropping until it reached about $11k. Then it disappeared. Popped up again in NorCal for $13k and has since been popping up on and off, slowly dropping. It's now back up at $9k, but the pics are different, so it may have changed hands up there at some point.

Is this still available?

The sellers are in their 70s and don't operate well online. It took them 5 days to figure out how to upload pics on Craigslist.

I tried and was actually the first one to see it (well, a friend I sent was). He gave me a crappy description in the hope that I'd pass and he could snag the Webers. By the time we cleared that up and I gave him the instruction to purchase, someone already put down a deposit .

Would it be possible to get pics of the rust/frame rail issue? If needed, I will provide my direct email address. Thanks!
