Title: '87 GT for cheap
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 27, 2020, 09:51:57 pm: Not mine. I don't know what it is with this month, but Fieros are almost falling out of the sky on me.

This one came to me the long way, but is apparently local to me.

First off, it's been sitting for 15 years, for no particular reason. No title. It's filthy.

Here is the info I have:

Quote
It's an 87GT, auto, 119k miles, pretty clean, has Mr. Mike's seats, and has been parked in a garage with a concrete floor for about the last 15 years. She said the previous owner stopped driving it because they got a newer car and just ...stopped 🤷‍♂‍

Someone in the area offered them $350, and they believe it's worth more (even without the title). I told her they could potentially get more like $500-$1000, but even more if they could find the title and cleaned it up (but they don't seem interested in putting any effort into it).

There is contact info.

What is the situation with getting a title for it in Mizzou?

EDIT: That looks like a solid car! Mr. Mikes seat and a good dash.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 27, 2020, 10:31:38 pm: Well, someone recently went through this, for an estate sale. He said it was a pain, but it did come through. That guy titled the car in Illinois, so also out of state.

Seat heaters?

Thats what I though of too. Would that be a factory thing? I've never seen those in a Fiero.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 27, 2020, 10:35:34 pm: Possibly a few hundred dollars to change fluids and seals, a few days of work doing that, and a few more dsys doing a detail, plus $500 or so for the car, plus some time getting the title straightened out, and it might be good to go. I suspect the mounts and bushings would all be shot, and it would certainly need tires.

Say, $3K.

No.

Post by: Fierofool on July 27, 2020, 10:51:05 pm: In Georgia, a bill of sale would suffice to get it titled. That's all I needed on my 2nd 85GT. I had DMV run the VIN before I started to put any money into it, planning to part it if I couldn't get a title.

Different ball game in my case. I actually had a title, but it wasn't acceptable because the previous owner hadn't signed off on it, and couldn't, since he had passed away. It was a complicated mess getting a new title.

Post by: Stroked88GT on August 07, 2020, 10:09:37 pm: In Georgia, only 85 and under can get a registration and tag without a title, only bill of sale needed. 86 amd up require a title no matter what. Bonded title is a little expensive, but possible.

Post by: Fierofool on August 07, 2020, 10:27:09 pm: The Art Doctor is bringing an 88 back from New Hampshire with just a bill of sale. NH doesn't require a title on an 88. Hope he doesn't have any issues.

I titled my 86SE with just a bill of sale that said Parts Only.

Post by: The Art Doctor on August 07, 2020, 11:26:17 pm: It's not an issue really. NH only titles cars 1999 or newer, all others sold on a notarized NH state bill of sale form and copy of current registration.
