Yeah, I hope he gets his price. I'd like to think mine is worth that. Reality sets in slower for some people, only took 10 years for the seller to realize what "restoring" a vehicle involves and that he didn't have it.

Easy for that one to cost 50,000.00 to restore and be worth 10 grand to just the right 'eccentric' person who wants a 45 mph rig that is impossible to back up in today's parking lots.

It is a nice old panel, and considering how hard it is to find them then maybe the price is fair.
Something to take note of, is the "open Oklahoma title"; that means he likely never put it in his name, so you'll have to forge a BOS from the former owner to you. Well, that or get one from them if they're alive and willing. Maybe your state is different, but Florida wants that documentation. AMHIK!
I don't think the state cares about the absolute chain of custody as much as collecting sales tax.

I agree, it's always an issue. I don't consider a title clean unless it's in the sellers name. I have artfully crafted many BOS in the past. Now I just avoid vehicles without a clean title or pay accordingly and have my towing company go through the impound process to get me a clean title
I picked up a nice '85 Supercab earlier this yr and had this situation. My own fault, I knew better, but it was a good western truck in better shape than I have been able to find locally, so that clouded my judgement. The BOS they gave me was NFG per DMV and they printed out a new one with the main info on it with instructions to return it with the owner of record signature, which I did ~10 days later. It worked, again, but I sure hate going through all that.
I don't have any connections with a towing company, but that would work.

I remember a story about a guy who bought an older SS Chevelle, fixed it all up and then after several years took his title in to get it registered. Title was no good, car had been stolen and the rightful owner showed up with a slideback to get his (now) restored Chevelle.
