The whole deal stinks and the car stinks as well. I understand the car has been offered to several members here for not much more than it was purchased for, and to the man, none of them have touched it - what does that say?
I like you Ron. I love your work, feel your pain of misfortune, and even share your politics (minority in this place) but this isn't about you & I. I won't bother with this any more - I've probably said too much already.

nothin' personal...and like you said, I only know what I was told. I didn't realize how the laws read in that state...just know Greg now has clean title. Hope Dan gets restitution if he deserves it...just that my son owns a business and deadbeats are his worst enemy. Again...never met Dan but I know how it works around here. Don't pay your bills... lose your stuff. Gotta be some recourse...all I'm sayin'. About your car...glad you found a deal but I was really looking forward to seeing what a "half-priced" resto would have gotten you...that's all. Our price was under what most places would charge. I quit a local shop here that took in a $50k '68 GTO ragtop...took $25K for the job and wanted another $27K when the guy came for the car. No new interior...nothing "over the top". One reason I left...did NOT want my name attatched to this shop...even remotely! The triple black Judge ragtop Greg just sold...same deal. Shop took the owner for $17k AND sold off his good parts! Greg bought the carcass. I believe we are adults and can discuss without malice. Like you said...some here cannot. Personally...I don't think Greg "screwed someone's ex-wife"...as it was so eloquently put. In his shoes...I'd have bought the car myself. In reality...I'm happy with what I have. Happy New Year and take care. Sorry if anyone was offended by my "opinion"...but it was just that. Take care. Ron
