pretty hairy subject "soiled" titles. as you may or may not know, the GT I bought from Lucky was once salvage and flood titled but later all cleared (washed?) somehow. I had no trouble titling, smogging, registering and insuring in California and did not hear anything from the next owner who amazingly enough took the car back cross the country to where it was originally titled (North Carolina)! that should say something about the great mechanical condition the car was in, but then look who worked on it. Other cars may not fare as well.

Anyways, neither Lucky nor I could detect water damage anywhere on the car. He got the car from a federal impound lot. So we guessed rightly or wrongly the car was either a tax lien repo, insurance job or drug enforcement seizure and the feds put the biggest whammies on the title South Carolina had to offer. (I didn't want to sleep with the fishes so did not persue it's previous ownership further) It carried this spec for about a year until all cleared with new title and registration in VA. Interesting enough the date was 9/28/1995. Then came Lucky's Florida title on 5/2/96 and me at 7/29/97, then the next owner earlier this year.

Just a little background on the twists and turns in one shark's life.

anyways, I never feared the title, nor the 141k miles on my first 928, nor the 120k on the current one - let each car stand on it's own 4 tires heh - but do check out the car very thoroughly and make your best call. I wouldn't have made such a great exception for anyone but Lucky - and yes I did buy the car sight unseen! There's more to that car's history in the Devek dyno research archives. Long live Big Blue!

Some real world wild Risky Business history ay? Hope you nail an interesting one too! (if not, run!?) :)
