He also will not say he has a title to it, he's kept telling me that he has the "pink slip" when I asked about a title, now if that is a title, fine.
If you noticed, there is no photo of the area that the VIN tag should be.
I went back through my emails and found my correspondence with this guy, when I seen this photo below, I asked about the missing VIN plate over the phone, that was the last call I ever got from him.

Interesting information ... no wonder it's been for sale for so long. It was only when I saw the motor that I thought of posting it here, but I know nothing about this NL or the motor. Now, if it were an estate wagon instead - I would be figuring out a way to buy it, no matter what the deal is with the tags. I know that's risky, and I wouldn't try it on a pickup or a NL like this one. A double cab like you picked up, or an estate wagon (especially left hand drive) are in a whole different league.

In California a "pink slip" is what you're calling the title. That's where the term "racing for pinks" comes from. There is a "pink slip" (yes, they are sort of pink in color) issued by the DMV upon transfer, and "registration slips" issued each year - except when a vehicle is put on "non op".

Did you notice the exhaust manifold in the photo above???

Yes, that exhaust manifold does stand out - doesn't it?
How about the condition of the steel, was this thing clean or rusty?
I ask because the pictures don't look too bad

That looks like an early L block exhaust manifold flange to me, but I have been wrong before.

I didn't actually go see this vehicle so I don't really know the condition, but he sent me 20-30 photos of it, I still have them, but when I seen the VIN plate missing, I asked him on the phone where it was, he got real quiet because it doesn't have one, but if the frame numbers match the title/pink slip he has, I suspect that something could be done about it, but if the pink slip/title he has don't match the frame numbers, I would run away as fast as I could, I suspect that VIN plate is missing for a reason, but it may have been just lost, who knows.

Reminds me of this one

^ I remember seeing that one for sale ... both have unique styling, beyond the normal 620 look.

I think this one sports more of a classic street truck look:

^ that does looks like a cool deal ... but my lust is for a 1980 4x4 w/ L20B engine

Here's one that I kind of like - well, I like everything except the side mirrors and the seller's asking price ...


http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/4363647077.html

There has been a light green for sale at a similar price, same area, for months. That seller posted all over the west, and as far as I know it hasn't sold - most likely because of the price. The further you get away from California, the better the prices get - or so it seems.

YEP - I AM A CL HOUND - but if my posts aren't interesting, let me know and I'll throttle back.

If this were closer I would have to go look ...
