See if you can come up with better bracketry than the Lokar bullshit. Its really really cheesy. A crimp on the end of the cable would be a good idea too. It will fray on you otherwise, and it will give it something to pull against when the single set screw holding it together loosens up. Absolutely do not like those things, unfortunately nobody else makes anything that is less bullshit so you're stuck with that or making your own brackets to use a factory TV cable. Frankly, that would be my preference.

End of thread. The dude that sold me the car that swore he had a title for lied. He finally fessed up and said he don't have one. In South Carolina I have caught he'll trying to get a title. So this one is done.
Luckily I didn't spend money on the car but the essentials for now and all engine related stuff. Still money lost and I live in chevy country so getting rid of it ain't been easy.Wide open until you see God, then BRAKE

If you can't get a title for it in any way at all, maybe strip everything you can from it and sell it to a derby guy. Hate to say it, but you'd probably get more that way vs selling it for scrap. Hate it when people waste your time with shit like that.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Got any friends in GA? They are a no title state. Possible they could register it and then sell back to you?
In VA we can apply for an abandoned car title. DMV contacts last known owner, and after a certain period of time, you get a title. It's that easy unless there is a lien. I checked in your state but it doesn't appear to work the same way.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

In MI we have a "self certification" process for a title, it's mainly to be used for something that was bequeathed and the original title was lost, or you lost it after the purchase and cannot get in contact with the old owner. Car needs to older than 10yrs and blue book for under $2500.Last edited by JeffBoudah; 06-19-2016, 05:27 PM.Comment

In other words, not worth stealing?

I would love to do all that but unfortunately south Carolina is terrible for a reason. Their dmv services is aweful. This state operates where as if the title isn't in there face, your dead in the water.
I am going there tomorrow to hopefully get some assistance. If no good news I will just snatched the power train out and I guess part it out or something.
It's my fault for believing in people and all. Stupid people.Wide open until you see God, then BRAKE

so basically i have to give the dmv a few hundred dollars for them to take 2 to 4 months to do a title search. and they can only provide me with the name of the person the car is registered to and where was it originally titled address. the problems:
1. they unfortunately for them and me be dead
2. be alive not at the address
3. be alive see my letter mistake it for junk and not respond
4. see my letter and demand their car back even tho i bought it
so i am done with this car. i am comtemplating getting a 1986 volvo 240 wagon and pull the engine, trans, driveshaft, and rearend out the crown vic and drop it in a TITLED car.Wide open until you see God, then BRAKE

Sounds like a winner. I wouldn't want to fork out that much for a "well, maybe" situation either.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
