Knockout Imp for small dollars - NJ title troubles?

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This car seems nice, BUT, it's currently over $1000 and I paid $2000 for 
mine with clean NJ title and a fresh 360 and 727 trans.  There was somebody 
on the list trying to move two running 80s Imperials for $1000 within the 
last week. I like these cars as much as anybody and I hope that this one 
gets saved, but they don't go for much money. The title trouble might be 
more than it's worth. The 154,000 mile 318 Barracuda parts car I bought for 
$100, which has done nothing but rust for the last 20 years, is currently 
worth more than my daily driven '83 Imperial.
