2001 ITR B18C5 USDM swap for sale Fresno/Clovis
Currently in my 1997 ITR. Came with my R. Has 10-15k miles on it. Runs excellent. $3500.
Located in Clovis CA. (next to Fresno)
Long story short...........
I bought the car from a friend (RYAN AUTRY)that bought it here on H-T a few years ago. It is a theft salvage. It was NEVER put into anyones name until I bought it last year. Before I bought it, it had been sitting since 2002 or so, except for a few mountain drives that it took when it was my friend. I haven't driven much at all, I live 2.5 miles from my shop.
So, the problem is the CHP won't let me finish registering the car because the engine came from a salvage car that the title was never scrapped with the DMV. I have a bill of sale for the engine, the CHP says it's clean. I could put it in a hatch, go BAR it at the ref, and he wouldn't care, it's just this CHP officer and my salvage car. Really sucks. I have a call into the CHP to investigate if this is the way it has to be, or if it's just one officer picking on me.
Soooooo, now I am selling my low mileage motor for a loss, to buy a JDM used engine to finish my registration so I can drive my car..........headache.
