RE: [T3] Ask and ye shall cut up an unwrecked perfect car

["Neil" <neil@neil.us>]

Rob,

There are a couple reasons for this. While this car is solid, it is missing
the complete interior, the rear hatch, the drivers side front fender, the
front hood, the front bumper, all the lights, the engine, some of the
windows and other misc. parts. I could probably come up with most of the
other parts from my other two squares that I plan on cutting up, BUT I'd
still have no title, and I'd still need the rockers and front clip for my
'72 Notch. The way I look at it, the '72 Notch is a much harder to find car,
and I'm going to be sacrificing this square in favor of my Notch. On top of
this, all three squares came to me without titles and it is extremely hard
to get a title for a vehicle here in Idaho. Once I do get a title, it is a
"branded" title and can not be sold or traded for three years, AND I have to
put a bond up for it. It may be easier in other states to get a title, but
I'm not in another state. To get this car on the road would take a lot of
work and parts, and right now I'm not prepared to do that much. Believe me,
if I come across a car like Martin's '69 Square, I will do the catch and
release. The reason I'm not parting out the '73 square is that it is a catch
and release project. When I got it all it needed was an engine to be
drivable again. I'm going to do a little more to it though to make it more
desireable and then I'll release it back into the wild.

Neil

I have an ignorant question:

Why is it everyone always wants to cut up a solid ride
that would be easier to catch and release?
