I need some help/info from the crew. It looks like were going to pick this car up tomorrow

It has Michigan tags and title. what kind of problems would this present if any.

As long as the title is signed, none. I bought my IROC from a dude who just shipped in from Virginia.

You will need to pass emissions if it's applicable at your address, and then take that and the title to the DMV and you'll be done.

If it is a Michigan car, check the body along the wheel wells and rocker panels for rust spots. My old stomping grounds and they use lots of salt in the winter.

Thanks for the heads up on the rust. it looked good from the outside but underneath it was a nightmare.

My first car (72 Chevelle) was 6 years old when I bought it out there. Inside the trunk, the wheel wells were so rusted, you could see through to the ground Shocked

We ended up buying a 89RS Camaro 2.8 V6- Pretty good shape overall. needs some help... I think its mostly skunk gas at the moment. it hasnt been tagged since 05. Check engine light is on , havent had time to look at it. were having it towed to the house Fri morning. Then we'll be able to start the painful process of its resurrection.

That car has been on craigslist for a while. The owner keeps lowering the price. Wink

It's crazy what the salt does, I saw a 2 year old Merc with Michigan plates out here the other day with a hole in a rear quarter panel. I assume they've never washed that car in it's life, but still, amazes me. I have a Dodge Dart that was rusted, what I thought was bad, and had to replace the floors in it, and it sat in a field for years on the coast. Less rust than a 5 year old east coast car.

Dude, old Mopars rust while sitting in museums.

I'm frankly shocked that any Mopar would last that long back east.
