Again, in most states, you cannot operate this car legally on public roads until it's inspected. That doesn't mean emission inspection or registration. Even dealers are not able to legally operate salvage titled cars on public roads, unless inspected. It's all written right in the dealer manual

By trying to sell this car with its original salvage title, you're putting it on buyer to go thru this hassle. One would have to provide receipts for parts used in rebuild process, as well as a statement from state certified mechanic that all repairs were done in workmanship like manner and according to industry standards.

It looks like you have some type of "Transporter" plate on there. I'd suggest to whomever is buying it to verify the legality of operating this car to even get it home (buyer's state laws apply here).

Here in Oregon, our "state inspection" consists of the DMV official walking out to take a look at the car and that's it. They don't even take a look under, or do any sort of thorough inspection process. I've owned only salvage title cars since I started driving, I repair them myself and then usually always go get a new rebuilt title in my name. That was the plan with this one as well, but I was chasing emissions issues for too long and now I don't have enough time to go through the entire process.

The buyer can legally apply for an Oregon trip permit under their name for this wagon, to get it back to wherever they need to. I've gotten two while I've been fixing it up, and driven it legally on Oregon roads with full coverage and everything. I will be covering the cost of the trip permit for the buyer.

Whoever is interested in buying it, I will work with you and do whatever it takes to make everything right and legal. If that means I go and register the car under my name here in Oregon first, and then write off the title to you, I'd be more than happy to. Fair warning though, it will take half a year for the new rebuilt Oregon title to come.

Updated thread with a lot more pics. I'm happy to facetime or video call if anyone's from out of town and is interested in buying it. Also, if you fly out to Portland to check out the car, I'll drop your ticket price off of the final price of the car. I have a trusted shop here that could do a PPI if anyone wants.

I need it to be sold by the end of NEXT WEEK (leaving town on the 29th), feel free to make me any and all offers!!

If it doesn't sell, I will apply for a rebuilt title and it's going to stay at my parents place while I'm in NY. Once the title comes in, I will be posting it on BAT auction.

Thank you!

Bump, price drop

Update, I am now living in New York City. The wagon is stored at my parents' place in Portland, OR. It developed an odd noise in the rear, speed dependent, I'm thinking a rear wheel bearing since it sat for a while. It will be getting looked at when I fly back to my family for Christmas break.
