Oof! Here’s the text of the ad.
“Sellingmy Crusty companion.
The good
5.0 thats strong
4x4 works
New front spring towers, springs and shocks
Newer rear shackles and hangers
2 year old Walmart battery.
The bad
It’s rusty. And has some dents. It looks good from 20' but it’s all smoke and mirrors (duct tape and spray paint really!)
The ugly
Windshield is cracked
Passenger door window motor is weak
Tires are about done (31x10.50x15)
Anti freeze leak
Transmission is on it’s last leg. I don’t know how long it has left but it isn’t long.
I lost the title. I can get a replacement but you know how long Illinois takes to print out a piece of paper..
Rear fuel tank works but leaks
I put around 40,000 miles on this truck between 10/2014 and 10/2017 and with a rebuilt trans I’d say it’s mechanically good for another 40k easy.
$500 with a bill of sale”
(Formatting went wonky on the paste.)
Yes $500 is high without a title. But if I pay Illinois $95 for a new title and wait six weeks for them to print It? I may as well put a trans in it and keep it. Dammit!

Geez, in Michigan a replacement title is like 15 bucks and you get it in a week or two.

Iowa prints the title right in front of you. It’s a $30 fee. I hate Illinois.

Let us know when you post the actual ad. I’ll share it to the Gambler 500-Illinois Facebook group. Crusty would be a good Gambler.

I just remembered this from losing the title to the Roadmaster. You can go to the DMV with your buyer and fill out a form that will authorize the transfer of the title to the buyer. You still have to pay the $95 for the lost title, but the buyer can get a title and you don’t have to be part of the waiting process.

Jeebus, in Indiana a replace is $10 or $15. You can do it online and they can have it to you by the end of the week.

That’s what bugs me. Iowa is $30 and they print it right now!

Not with that transmission! I found a guy in the area that parts out OBS Fords on FB. I may be doing a swap after all.

Cool!
We got enough drivers registered for the rallycross at Byron next weekend to be a go. If you’re not busy, you should come check it out. If you bring a helmet, I’ll give you a ride.
