I really want that car.!!!Thanks.

see if he will let you buy it as scrap metal not parts

I'd say he doesn't want to fool with selling it. He should be able to get a lien against the car for towing/storage and get a title if he wanted one.

I just got thru with a career hauling cars out of junk yards
for Copart . I worked TN and Kentucky . Seems there are some funny laws concerning salvage cars. You might ask him if he could get a title by applying for one thru the Tn DOT and offer to pay the fee which is rather low. He should be able to get a title by attaching a lein on the car for storage . You could call the TN DOT and ask about this so when you speak to him again you will be informed. BTW I want the pass headlight, marker light, signal light

I know in WV, if it has ever had a salvage title, you can't title it and put it back on the road, but I don't see why he or you once you buy it, can't at least get something putting it in your name. At least do a bill of sale and take that to DMV.

PA has salvage titles....meaning it can not be put on the road with out a 'resurrection' safety inspection. Only insurance companies and dealers can request a salvage title. The state, if they deem necessary will issue a salvage tag for a lost or no title record.

pay the 40 for a lein and it becomes yours tell the man your willing to do that and that you could pay him some back storage - that may entice him
