Oh yes, it's a good looking Yellow I think, too bad it wasn't shot very 
well.  The last title was in Wisconsin, but the buyer was in California 
and -he- never re-titled it, so it's still titled in the previous owners 
name, from Wisconsin.  All this guy has is a bill of sale, the old title 
and a California Inspection receipt, so the owner got at least that far 
back in 1989.  This really could be tricky.  And since the "friend" is 
the one with all the paperwork, I'm not certain he can even do anything, 
even in Washington.  I'm not sure about Idaho though, he's heard it may 
be a lot easier to title it in Idaho quickly rather than Washington.

Just glad it's not me. :)
