Should I trade for a 47 Cadillac??

here are more pix, sorry for the crappy quallity it was txted to me, it looks to be all there and pretty clean:

 

here are some pix of my truck, it has a good size dent on the back and others here and there. but all in all pretty nice! honnestly id trade this and my 56 plymouth project (clean title in hand, on non-op) for a nice older DRIVABLE or close to it ride! ill post an ad in CARS FOR SALE if this does not pan out.

 

For what it is worth, I'm with you on being cautious about the trade w/o title. I hear horror stories about getting titles in California. Have you checked with the DMV about it?
Don't take his word......remember "buyer beware". You could have truck gone but a car you can't drive....maybe ever!

 

are you nuts ???? i hope its in your driveway now ,

 

so very true!!!!! i talked to him he said he would go to the dmv with me and make sure it was ok

BUT BUT BUT i have changed my mind about the trade (well my wife helped me ) im NOT gonna do it. she wants me to trade the truck for a nice bass boat or a pair of wave runners. cause i have tooo many projects now

thank you all for the input!!!!! but if anyone is interested here is the link http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/2467994834.html

 

Bass boat makes more sense than a 4 door caddy that don't run with no title...

 

I guess you should have asked her first, instead of us.

Does she pick out your skirts, too?

 

lol nope, but she does take care of me, co-signs my other bullsh*t (lest me have 3 other cars and not hurt or cheat on me when i deploy

 

your rite but dont get me rong, id get another project but i already hav a few and she wants to spend more quallity time with me and my son. hell im only 28 ive got plenty of years for more projects

 

Does the wave runner have red rims?
WELL,,,,,,,,DOES IT????????????????
How cool can you be with a 3rd degree sunburn?
Now yur gonna getit, brother.

 

Please realize I'm yankin your chain. If momma aint happy...
Some other guy here will pick up the "Slack"
Thanks for your service. I'll sleep better tonight.
(Thats NOT yankin your chain.)

 

Haha! Good points!

I thought Sgt_Slacker was just your screen name, and now realize that you are active!

Thanks for your service.

I would have still asked her thoughts first, because she, like my wife, is probably the boss!

 

yea i know you are but she like cars but i have tomay for her now

and thank you!!

 

nope, ive been in the army for 11 years. been deployed a few times!

of corse i run it pass "the boss" first lol she thought it was running and clean title like it says on the ad. then she said " you have to many project and your son (4yr step son) cant really help you on them and he LOOOOOVES fishing!!

 

If the paperwork is legit and you DEFINITELY can get title in your name this is a no-brainer.

 

Then I'd go fishing.....

 

Cadillac parts = expensive. Ask me, I know.......

 

I'd do the swap then work out the paperwork.

I've been involved in the automotive industry in Southern California for many years and had a lot of title work done. Possession is 9/10s of the law.

PM me and I can give you the name of at least one automotive title professional in So Cal.

 

Good decision. I jumped on a similar deal back in the 80's. I traded my POS '72 Ford Courier for a triple black '67 Caddy ragtop. It needed a tranny rebuild and new tires but it still was very driveable. The guy advertised in the local Recycler needing a mini-truck. I called him up and drove over to see it. We looked over each others vehicles, swapped pinks and I drove home in the Caddy.
