The vehicle will be sold on a clean New York State transferrable registration in the current owners name (note that NYS does not issue titles for vehicles older than 1973). I am not a dealer but have bought and sold several collector cars at great distances and therefore I have gone to great lengths to describe this vehicle’s condition as accurately and completely as possible. I am happy to work with any legitimate shipping company at the buyers expense.

The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if my asking price is met.
