    So I'm going to talk to her about price today. Highest offer she had was $250 sight unseen from a website, but requires title which she doesn't have.
    To go get one, its about 3-4 hours of waiting and $25. Also, it takes about 2 weeks to get it.
    So, with all that, I think $200 cash for it would be fair right? I'm going to put a "downpayment" on it today, so just seeing if this sounds good. Still registered so it can be driven to my house. She needs the $$ by Memorial Day which shouldn't be an issue, however I am only 18 so I don't have a ton of extra cash floating around. And worst comes to worst, I cut it up and haul it in as-is

    Not sure I would give her any money until you you show up to take it...amazing how people, places and things drop off the face of the earth in a blink of an eye. If money is tight you might want to concentrate on getting that old car frame in the other thread instead of this.

    The number will be engraved on the widest side of the loaf, the side that's showing in the picture. Take a regular wire brush and scrape that side, don't use a wheel or it will take the number right off.

    Yep. This is a fact! +1 on this advice!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
