Together with the speakers, and the wind blocker, it produced enough volume, and a clean sound for cruising around town with the top down.September 2nd, 2026 at 2:37pm ESTmg69bob (0) 0Can you list the model of the Power Accoustics head unit?September 2nd, 2026 at 2:34pm EST$4,000 bid placed by @SellCLESeptember 2nd, 2026 at 2:15pm EST$3,750 bid placed by @kurtglenSeptember 2nd, 2026 at 11:02am EST$3,500 bid placed by @rideairSeptember 2nd, 2026 at 10:51am EST$3,250 bid placed by @Smokiedog1September 2nd, 2026 at 10:30am EST$3,000 bid placed by @mikesfordSeptember 1st, 2026 at 6:42pm EST$2,750 bid placed by @Smokiedog1September 1st, 2026 at 4:58pm EST83TDT (8) Seller 0I got this from chat gto: The 48-Hour WV State Police "One Trip Permit"The most practical method for a private sale is the One Trip Permit issued directly by the West Virginia State Police.What it does: It grants the buyer a 48-hour window to legally drive the unregistered vehicle from the point of purchase to their final destination (even if that destination is across state lines).Cost: $5.00 (must be paid in cash).Where to get it: The buyer must visit a local West Virginia State Police detachment office in person. Note: They should call the detachment ahead of time to ensure an officer is available to write the permit.What the Buyer Needs to Bring to the State PoliceTo be issued the 48-hour permit, your buyer must present:Proof of active auto insurance specifically covering the vehicle they are buying.Their valid driver's license.The signed-over vehicle title or a notarized Bill of Sale from you.Alternative: West Virginia DMV License ServicesIf the buyer prefers a standard temporary cardboard tag rather than a paper police permit, they can visit a physical West Virginia DMV regional office or a licensed WV DMV closing service agent. By bringing the signed title, bill of sale, and proof of insurance, they can purchase a temporary registration plate meant for transporting a vehicle out of state.A Quick Reminder for You (The Seller)Make sure you take your physical license plates off the car before the buyer drives away. In West Virginia, license plates belong to the driver, not the vehicle. Leaving them on the car makes you liable for any electronic toll violations, speeding cameras, or accidents the buyer might cause on their trip home.Are you or the buyer trying to calculate West Virginia road tolls for their route home, or do you need help locating the nearest WV State Police detachment?September 1st, 2026 at 4:50pm EST83TDT (8) Seller 0@mg69bob TV Sorry I didn’t mean to overlook that question. It’s been a while, but I believe the WV state police still do a temp tag for out of state sake. Let look on their web site and see what I can find.September 1st, 2026 at 4:46pm ESTmg69bob (0) 0@83TDT Can temporary tags be arranged?September 1st, 2026 at 2:23pm EST83TDT (8) Seller 0Thanks for that question. Yes, indeed: Fresh oil and filter, New tires, All fluids topped up, Including windshield squirters, Cooling, Transmission, Differential, and Power steering. Hard top installed. Ready to go. What else can you think of? September 1st, 2026 at 1:30pm ESTmg69bob (0) 0Is this car ready for an 1,100 mike drive if I win the bid? Fresh oil change, tire pressure, etc. Can temporary tags be arranged?September 1st, 2026 at 10:05am EST$2,500 bid placed by @SellCLESeptember 1st, 2026 at 5:37am EST$2,250 bid placed by @kurtglenAugust 31st, 2026 at 7:51pm EST$2,000 bid placed by @alukata1August 31st, 2026 at 12:02pm EST83TDT (8) Seller 0I have much better ways of demonstrating quality of repairs than receipts from places you have no experience with.August 30th, 2026 at 6:45pm ESTWdspurgeon (0) 0You have shared an impressive list of repairs. The credibility of the shop would improve the bidder’s view of things. I would like to see the car personally, but I am in Denver now and traveling for the next few weeks - long after the auction ends. I am happy to arrange a time to see it later if it isn’t sold at auction. August 30th, 2026 at 2:07pm EST83TDT (8) Seller 0@Wdspurgeon Why are so interested in the receipts? Come look the car. The work I describe is easy to verify. On the other hand, nothing could be easier these days than to make fake paperwork. If you want to know what it would cost to buy one of the sub-$10k cars on the market, and bring it to this level. The answer is $20k to $30k. Who ever buys this car will be getting the car for free and a substantial discount on the work done..August 30th, 2026 at 10:36am ESTWdspurgeon (0) 0Oh. Ok. Is there another way I can review them?August 30th, 2026 at 9:57am EST83TDT (8) Seller 0Regarding receipts: Yes I have receipts. No I’m not going to post them.August 29th, 2026 at 5:44pm ESTWdspurgeon (0) 0You hav
