So was it registered to the buyer or seller? I am wondering why you did not get a return on the plate. In CA after you sell a vehicle you can send in the portion of the title that releases the seller from liability, I wonder if DMV suspends the registration at that point. I do not get upset...

What to look out for when buying? Check the hat channels that support the floor. From the factory they had a wood spacer to prevent crushing. The wood can and will absorb water and cause rusting. Look for cracks in the frame near the spring hangers and front frame horns. Check all the fluids...

That is a cool idea. There used to be one in Southern California

That is a neat vehicle
