Back reg is registration. When anyone falls behind a year in registering with the state the fees quickly jump to $500 about per year for 3/4 ton and up. Trucks out three years can hit $1000 fast just to get your tags. This one was out about 1.5 years when I tore it down. Scrap is only $200 in Gilroy, it's anywhere between $240 and $280 in San Jose but that adds another 2 hours round trip so I decided on the $200, not time to go up there when doing stuff like this. Therefore I netted $504 as you see it.
G.W.- Come on out and get some Cali sheet metal, there is plenty to go around, it's not uncommon to see a 65' mustang on the road in perfect shape here. I look for classic cars being a car guy, and there are no shortage of there here on the road.
