If I were keeping the truck it certainly would be the 427/454 BBC. But the theme here is reliability, low maintenance and good fuel economy. If I have to foot the entire bill and a good donor truck turns out to be too costly then things could change. Remember, I've committed to a 100% donation (I'm not deducting expenses) excluding tax and tags (that's paid by the buyer) and therefore there is no buyer or seller premium charged by BJ.
Speaking of which, Barrett/Jackson referred me to a charity publicist since I'm not a celebrity donor and have no history as a professional shop. Yeah, a load of rules because I'm not a notable entity.
So if the donation is other than money and it has yet to exist, You're not a licensed shop or car dealer, a celebrity or known to them as a sizeable car collector and you request a 100% donation to YOUR charity(s) - not theirs, and without any premium charged, they need a performance bond to schedule you for an opening and pictures of the actual car submitted no later than 30 days prior to the date of the auction. A copy of a title or proof of free and clear ownership. ALSO - A copy of some form from your residence county clerk of courts stating as of this (date) I don't have any action against me for child or spousal support or this vehicle is not listed as property in an open bifurcated divorce. Other "little" stuff (their words, not mine) like judgments, mechanical liens and Sheriff's Sales can just be sworn to . . . . .what no credit check? It's true, no BS here. It's like the guy in the commercial that wants to buy a razor at the drugstore.
