Hi everyone,
I'm new to this and would like to
ask a question. To give a brief background:
The wife found this 63 sitting in some guys yard along
with a host of other old cars (pretty cool actually). Got him to sell it to me -
its a 4dr hardtop, blue with 26k original miles (yes, original). However, the
body and some of the rear frame is shot, even though it was garaged
(barn) for 25 yrs. Brought it home to start restoring and mechanically it
is in great shape. Was actually able to get it running and drove it down
the road before garaging it. My dad got excited about it and found a 'parts car'
in Kansas that should be delivered tomorrow.
My dilemma - The parts car is in
much better shape body-wise than this (at least from pics), has over 100k and
was a daily driver (the guy was gonna demo it). I like the original one and
color, etc. It seems the best route would be to swap parts to the 'parts car'
and get it running. My issue is I want to keep the originality overall but would
also like the 26k label on the title.
Q: What can be or can't be swapped
to keep a title with 26k on it and still be legit? Can I swap the plates to the
other with the motor and drivetrain or does it have to stay with the frame? I
want to keep as much originality as possible.
