Thanks
I'll check into it.  Buy some plates and insurance and I would still be
ahead..Drive it down to the DMV or where ever and make about $3k of free
money towrards a replacment for...my 1977 Dodge V8 automatic 10mpg van...I
could sell it to a migrant fruit picker as family transport..they seem to
like the older large size vans, but I'd probably only get a few hundred
bucks that way..
