Sorry Viper, I don't have his info any longer. Several other people have already asked. I know, I'm a dumbass for not keeping in touch, but I'm bad at that.

It saddens me everytime I pass this lot. He also has a yellow series I 86" (?) not visible, a RRC growing weeds, and a rolling chassis in good shape which is also growing weeds. These appear to be trucks that functioned a short while ago (the blue 88 rebuilt by a board member) but have fallen to neglect.

yeah, as these become rarer, the crime of letting them sit feels like it becomes bigger.

Rob,
Have you ever stopped and talked to the owner? They might be willing to sell.

Here is my free rover after i took it from the place it has been resting 20+years in the bushes. I think the engine will need some work before its running

Get a bill of sale from your grandmother for $1 and register it. When they ask what it is worth, tell them you paid $1 and show them the picture of the engine in pieces. They will try to get you to tell them it is worth a few hundred or a few thousand $$$'s so that they can charge you the sales tax on the sale. So, bill of sale now, register it and then tell them it is off the road so they don't make you get insurance on it, but this way it is only worth $1 as far as California is concerned.

Yeah i had to do that once before already with a car I put together for my girlfriend. It was a 96 Subaru with some body damage and a rod threw the engine, she went to put it in here name before we worked on it. she said it was a free car and they looked up high blue book and charged here taxes for $6000 on her free car that wasn't worth anything but a parts car

I'm sure that many would disagree with me from the perspective of customization and novel engineering, but all I can say is what a bummer.
