Someone posted in Craigslist, post id#5495115363, a 1931 Pickup body that appears to be in good shape for $6,500 to be sold as lawn art of for advertisement purposes in front of your nursery or farm.

I tried to plug that number into NJ Craig's list and came up with nothing. Which list did you see it on?

Looks like a steel top wide bed late 31 in restorable condition, with model T running boards.

My guess is that they don't have a title for it.

Way too nice to actually be lawn art. Surely a lost title, indeed.

My own Model A was, in fact, yard art for a few decades before I bought it off craigslist. Thankfully nowhere near the asking price of that ad.

Six-Grand for that thing? Saw a 1930-31 coupe body "only" on eBay not too long ago with a fixed "Buy it Now" price for well over $9,000. The thing didn't even have doors as recalled! Long gone are the days of buying nice solid rust-free complete 31' Town Sedan bodies for $300. We found the a real good frame for that car outside behind a guy's barn. Paid him ten bucks! That was around 1972-ish . . .
