I have found that in ND you have to protect yourself. I bought a 1969 roller Roadrunner for $4K. Went down to get the title transferred and I brought up the topic of price. Told the clerk it may seem low but this is a shell with parts missing. She said "oh" and pulled out this DMV form that documents vehicle condition. So I marked no engine, no transmission, no interior, and no glass (which were all true). I got a copy of the form, paid the fees and haven't heard a word since. I had a total rustbucket of a '67 Barracuda notchback that one of my friends just had to have. Sold it to him for scrap value. The DMV had a kitten over that and my friend surrendered. I told him to fight it, the price was legitimate, but he felt that this was the best way. I guess it was his money.
