Unless you have a way to get papers on it,it's not worth much more than scrap for fixing up. Parting it out would be a different story. Hank

it's not that hard to get replacement titles in most states. I have done it in NY, and it is as easy as 123You don't know what you've got til it's gone

I hate tha fact that most auctions end while I'm at work. The minute I bid on some Ford parts, someone usually will up the ante. One Guy for weeks, kept jacking up the auction price on every F1 part posted on Ebay, he would run them way up and then bail without having to pay the premium price that the final bidder placed. I lost three grills this way!
Waiting to the last moment if someone has bid higher than you is the best tactic, to avoid potential bidding wars.
I also think the car is worth whatever you feel it's worth. If you have a specific budget in mind for the build, stick to it, because it will cost alot more in the end. But if you love this car, as does your son, go for it, the father son builds are the best(worth way more than the money it cost) for the experiences you'll both remember for the rest of your lives! Each and every father son build featured here shows the pride of the Dads and the "cool" factor of the son's for their project. I grew up without a Dad(divorced and uninterested), and wish my Dad had the relationship with me to do such a cool thing! Good for you, and we want to see posts on whatever you guys build!"

He's up for it.
On the bidding process, ya I have missed a few just becouse of the time that it would end. MKy son likes the looks of this 54 and also a 74 Ply. that I am bidding on also. And what if I get both???? Fun times.

Looks like a good, solid car! Ideal for your proposed father and son project.... I sure wouldn't think too long about going as high as $500 for the car. Friend of mine sold a '53 in similar condition a few months back for $850.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Kansas title info (I think it changed in the last 18 years) Even in states where it's relatively simple it can cost $100 or more plus your time.

I snipe everything I buy on ebay with this service, it costs pennys and puts the bid in the last 5 seconds. Bidding early is the same as bidding against yourself. Besides most stuff is bid this way and you won't have time to manually outsnipe them anyway.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
