Right. And what about the LT 24 on its right in the picture? Lose  the
title to that, too?
The reason that he has it listed in the Parts For Sale section is that
Ebay would not accept the listing if he puts the VIN in the listing. Do
I sense that we possible cannot believe some of what this guy says? Has
anyone else ever bought a vehicle from him?
How much would it cost to run this thing thru an RI  (registered
importer) and get it DOT  and EPA approved?
