Hey y'all,
Long-time lurker, and I was a very rare poster long ago (no idea what my user was anymore)
I know I'm a rook so I can't share pictures yet, but hopefully I can very soon!
I just picked up my first project car ever from a coworker that had inherited it.
It is a 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger in white and red two tone. Has the 289 motor I believe.
The body seems to be in great shape and the motor sounds pretty good once I can get it started.
It has a whole in the carb so I'm waiting to get a new one thrown on soon.
Additionally, it must have a parasitic drain somewhere cause the battery zaps itself dead more times than not. I personally haven't ever done more than tune-ups or a brake job so this will be a learning experience for me.
I'm planning to work on it with my two sons (13 and 7) and hopefully they never catch on that I have no idea what I'm doing!
I do hope to post some pics and questions on here as I go.
I do have one question to start- I received a signed (not dated) title and Form 130.
How do I go about transferring title and registering a vehicle that doesn't exactly run at this point?
Would you just pocket the title until such time that it is running?
Thank y'all!
