when you buy a bonded title the company that sell the bond will guarentee it is a good title talk to an agent about it.

Like mad said, just get an old glove box and title and you are set!

Is the glovebox door/title deal a felony? Read lots of opinions, but don't know for sure. If not, and I do that, what if I sell it? Will there be problems? Will it affect the value?
I looked at a couple of the title agencies (broadway and international) - should it make me nervous that in their process, I am "selling" the bronco to them (so they can "sell" it back to me)? I've already been taken once, don't want to again.

If I can help let me know.. I live in Alabama and might be able to register it for you, then transfer it to you. I registered a 1973 a few months back and all I provided was a bill of sale. In Alabama cars before 1976 didn't have titles. I am not sure if the 25 year old rule applies or not.

That made my head hurt. Not sure it cleared anything up for me. It may be legal or not, immoral or not. I don't know. But since it's so gray - I don't think it's for me. I want to have integrity about the whole deal.
FYI here's a link to the original ebay ad (I didn't buy it on ebay, but first saw it there): E-Bay
notice where it says "Title: CLEAR"
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

YOUCH!
$9,900... and it had that shopping list of stuff not working?!?!?!
I'd TRY like the dickens to get yer loot back!!! The pictures didn't come up with the link, BUT unless it is 100% perfect aside from what you listed... you can get a GREAT rig for that price!
...and I'd run a check on the VIN# and be SURE it is not listed as stolen. As long as it is not stolen... SEROUSLY think about use'n a clear title (ie: glovebox door etc) The MAIN issue with the glovebox thing is if the rig get'n registered is legal or not.
BUT, the BEST thing to do is get yer $$ back and hit the classified ad's here! For $9k you'll get 3x the rig you have now... not try'n to rub salt in the wounds.
But ya, see if it is stolen 1st!

Actually, I didn't pay $9,900 for it. Got it for 8K. The body was completely sandblasted and repainted. Interior blasted and lined. Checked the history, only 35,000 original miles (checked with the original owner's widow) Runs fantastic.
Changed my avatar, so you can see it.
I'll wait until I get the paperwork before I say anything about him. I think it's gonna work out. daddyg is gonna help me
Oh well, here is a big picture:

If the original owner is the one he bought it from, you have had contact with her and it will still be in her (or Hubby's) name, take her to lunch and swing by the DMV, have her apply for a lost title and transfer it to you, food works wonders for people

The original owner passed away. The bronco was in his name only (which could complicate things, I guess) - plus she's........old.
And, she's 8 hours away.
But, it may work. Wonder if she likes Crawfish???

Yeah! Stop by! Crawfish season ends mid-june or so, but this is New Orleans, so there's always food!!!

According to the ebay add, the seller is located in Alabama, and if AL is truely a 'bill of sale' state, what is the sellers problem giving you a bill of sale, so you can get a title? If he is a legitimate seller and not selling stolen vehicles, why wouldn't he just scratch out the reciept? I would have the police department run the VIN and determine if it is stolen. You can always contact ebay and report the seller as a fraud and get your money back through ebay. Good luck.

Weather it is a moral issue or not... it doesn't matter. You paid for the EB and there for it is yours.
No one is going to judge you for that. Just get it figured out the easiest way possible and enjoy it on the road. I am not a religious person but I do know right from wrong. I am sure you do also.
Just my .02 and god speed.
Good Luck

"Weather it is a moral issue or not... it doesn't matter. You paid for the EB and there for it is yours." Thanks for the encouragement Matt! It's gonna work out!
needabronco - I didn't buy it through ebay. It was sold on ebay, but the buyer backed out. Then it was re-listed, but I worked out a side deal with the seller for much less than it was going for on ebay. So, I can't get my money back through ebay. Yep, learned a lesson on that one.
Hopefully in a couple of days I'll have some good news. A guy in Alabama (daddyg) is going to help me out!

Thats 100% true.
If that guy lives in Alabama and he can't get you a title is is either a crook or lazy.
