So today turned out to be a big day for me!
When I bought my 74 a few months ago I did it on a gamble. That gamble was the word of the seller and nothing more... no paper work of any kind.
The usual story of "I bought it from a guy, who bought it form some other guy". This seller wouldn't sign a Bill of Sale for me either. I took a huge risk with his buy...
Fortunately my wife partners with a lot of car dealers in her business of auto recovery. She knew someone that would do all the hard work I was dreading. Lost title and DMV mumbo jump.
We hired this company who came out to the house, did a VIN check, (typically a trip to CHP), a statement of facts and all the necessary paperwork with CHP and DMV. 2 Weeks later I am now the official owner of the 74 bronco in my driveway. Total cost to me was 280$... which covered everything from the lost title to the registration. Small price in my opinion!
Sitting on the counter are new plates, new reg and in a week or two I'll receive my new title.
What a relief today has been! Of course now I have to make decisions on what parts to buy!
Anyhow, thought I'd share something good in the bronco world!
Cheers
