Hopefully you also have the original serial number plate to match the title. I think $250 seems to be a good compromise price for both the buyer and seller. |

I've got a guy here on craigslist trying to sell a title only for a 42. No plate. He won't divulge the serial number. He's asking 550-500 I told him he's crazy. He said that he used to own the vehicle, but doesn't know where it went. Right... :rolleyes: |

It's worth the $ 250. If one doesnt have a valid title just imagine the hassle down at the DMV trying to get a replacement title. Depending which state one would be dealing with it could involve inspection of the "to be titled vehicle" by a police officer or an approved saftey inspection auto shop, possibly getting a sales reciept notorized, lost title/new title administration fee's, etc., etc. The time spent trying to get a new title issued could take hours spread over many days or weeks. Your asking price is fair. Oz |

Just playing Devil's advocate here.. If they catch ya it could also be worth several thousand dollars and quite a long time in the iron bar hotel. It is illegal in most places, ya know. The guys who sell on Ebay or the hot rod mags get away with saying it is collectible paper literature but everyone knows what is going on. And then you ahve a jeep with the wrong numbers on it, if that matters. Sure would be nice if the states would make it easier to get a replacement and CORRECT title for older vehicles. The current methods just encourage fraudulent behavior. It is easier to register to vote than it is to get paperwork for an old car that has sat out back in the field for decades. That is just plain stupid. Not saying I wouldn't do it if I had to, but you do know other people than jeep guys cruise the Internet, right? |

I see absolutely no problem selling a Jeep title if the original serial number plate is included. After all the serial number plate is the only reasonable way to posatively identify the jeep. O yeah the frame number is surely important but realize that not all 3B's had a number stamped into the frame. Besides I know for a fact that the DMV doesn't have a clue where to look for the frame number. As far as the DMV is concerned the jeep is nothing but the paperwork thats required for taxation. Let's pretend that someone buys a clunker 3B with a valid reguistration and serial number tag. Now imajine that everything on the jeep was trashed except for the serial number tag. So the proud new owner does a full rebuild with all new and used parts. Upon completion the rebuilt jeep is technically an impopster of the original yet is perfectly legal AFAIK. If you buy a 2012 Rubicon and change the air filter does that make the virtually new Rubicon an imposter. Of course not. In my humble opinion I say the title and tags are worth more than the keys. Besides that I've personally been paying taxes for about 20 years on a couple 3B titles that I own. The actual jeeps are in a thousand pieces, yet I still pay full taxes on them every year. |

the value of it depends on what you want for it. for me 50 bucks is all i would pay. but i don't need one. there are a lot of junk yards around here. as oz said, if you need one, 250 would seem fair. you would save yourself a lot of time and trouble. |

Chris, stick with your price and always remember that you're selling a salvaged or rebuildable jeep part for restoration purposes only, which is still perfectly legal to do in every state in the Union; (and without fear of penalty)! |

If I had a Jeep that was street legal but couldn't be driven on one, I'd think $250 was a bargain. |

I have to say I agree with all the opinions first off. its illegal....maybe most likely but its between us as a group of jeep lovers its right to do to keep a road worthy historic vehicle from the crusher The price isn't gouging its fair and negotiable i still have the jeep but the thought of parting it is overwhelming due to the fact that I've had no serious offers. ANY HERE, its a good almost complete 62 3b |
