I hear ya about not sinking money into it until you get the title. That makes perfect sense. You don't want to dump money into it and then have them go, "oh, hey.. we want that back.. Oh, it's running now? Thanks!!"
Actually it was running when I got it. It quit working during the time it was parked in my yard. I drove it off the trailer and into my back yard.

But it has several other problems too. The drivers door latch is all fWONked up.
And the entire front suspension is shot. It needs all new bushings and ball joints. And the mirror was knocked off the drivers door.
