ALL OF THE NEW AND OLD PARTS WILL NOT FIT INSIDE OF THE CAR SO A CAR TRANSPORTER WILL NOT WORK. THE BEST SCENARIO WOULD BE A PICKUP TRUCK WITH A CAR TRAILER. LOOK OVER THE PHOTOS ON MY PHOTOBUCKET SITE: http://s1296. photobucket. com/user/johnkenner1/library/?sort=6&page=2THE TITLE IS IN A HOLDING PATTERN. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DMV TO HAVE IT REGISTERED IN MY NAME AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION WITHOUT VERIFYING THE VIN #. SINCE THE CAR WAS APART I COULD NOT BRING IT TO THE DMV FOR VERIFICATION. YOU GET THE BILL OF SALE FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND EVERYTHING I HAVE FROM THE CA. DMV. A THOUSAND DOLLAR NON REFUNDABLE PAYPAL DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED UPON WINNING THE BID. THE BALANCE MUST BE WIRE TRANSFERRED WITHIN 3 DAYS OF WINNING THE BID. SHIPPING IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY. I WILL HELP OUT ALL I CAN. I WILL NEED AT LEAST 10 DAYS TO GET THE BODY ONTO THE CHASSIS AND PACKAGE UP ALL THE PARTS.
