How very sad for this great idea to have turned out so unfortunately. I don't think anyone thought that they'd be winning an uncompleted car with no title when this contest started. I understand the intent of this idea was to help TFT. But the situation with the car makes me question other aspects of this charity drive. Has anyone seen confirmation that the donations made it to TFT? I know it's been asked for on the other TFT thread but never received a response. What a shame, at least the winner has some nice parts from a car that can't be driven.

I would give them the benefit of the doubt that they DID do the right thing with the donations.

But the title stuff HMMM.
Get started on a mechanics lean that’s what I would do as they really owe you nothing. That way you don’t hound them and save your self any aggravations from having to hear reason after reason as to what happened to the title. It would also probably be faster anyway.
Good luck dude

I really hope you are right, but it does make you wonder what happened to the money when such a little thing as a title can't even be mailed out.

Man, I will find a copy of the certified check I sent to Toys $ Tots. I will find it tomorrow. I am waiting on another response from them. I have emailed them. I don't know why the didn't respond, I am sure it is something minor I will call the gentlemen monday morning.

Brian is doing his best to locate the title. None of this was supposed to happen. I am so sorry if we have inconvineced anyone. We did our best to do a good thing. Yes there were some hiccups. It was our first time doing this. Anybody else ever do this???

I must be honest it does bother me that my integrity has been questioned here.

I apologize to glenn on the title issue, it will be handled...

Hey folks,

I have been silent until now, but this just get's my gourd.

These issues that are being discussed after the fact are minor in comparison to the root cause issue at hand ever since the beginning of the giveaway. The issue is Toys for Tots and the charity that went into this.

A vehicle title is a minor thing. TurboG will have to pay to get the vehicle liscensed and insured to drive it. So he pays a little more to have a title search done. No big deal. He will get his title and get to drive, race, bust rustangs, whatever, at his will and desire with a car that in esence cost him nothing but a donation and a few minutes of his time.

We are all grown ups here. Let's behave like it.

TurboG - congratulations.
My compliments to all that donated time, labor and parts.
I only wish I could have done the same.

That is awesome, I am sorry for any disrespect. I did donate a lot of money to this and have bought many things from GBody, but minds start to wonder sometimes. My faith has been restored. Have a great weekend.

I never questioned the money, but Glenn is a friend of mine and I can say hes never once complained about the condition of the car or the fact that he hasnt gotten a title. I saw this car and it needs more than just licensing to be driven and enjoyed if it can ever be driven. I would personally put the parts on my TR and go from there. This is just my opinion and it comes from me seeing the car. I know alot of vendors donated parts and alot of people worked hard and the donation was awesome. But there are many many things that Glenn has been too much of a gentleman to bring up. I simply asked yesterday if he got the title yet. I didnt intend for it to bring up this much
BS.

Look, I never intended to question anyone's integrity, especially the operator of the board. If I had any serious concerns that anything funny was going on with the money, I would have contacted Shane in private. If I could figure out how to edit my post, I'd change my wording. It certainly has a tone that I didn't intend to pass through.

BS.
And what is wrong with it that it could "ever be driven"? I saw it before,during,and after paint and it was a "lil rough around the edges" when Danny picked it up at Renyolds. But I didn't see anything that would prevent it from being road worthy. Since you laid it out there, how about elaborating..........
