Yep, if the 59 runs and drives take it to the all Ford picnic when it comes up and you might have to call your dad for a ride home.

I had a 57 Panel almost that same color with a real nasty 327 in it in the mid 70's . It only got about five miles to the gallon but it would run heads up with a 750 Honda bike for a city block.

The thing that scares me is the words "bill of sale only".
I don't know about anybody else but ive had a heck of a time with a car in this state ( a ford haha) that i had bought and was titled to a dead man. I eventually managed to part ways with it, but it was a pain in the rear. This state unfortunately has guys like us over the barrell with old rigs, when many states out there will title it with a bill of sale.

getting title aint to hard here you first get vin number checked to make sute it aint stolen most time there not then you can send a letter to original owner and they send back so you can get a release formt hem or you go to state patrol for the inspection and get the three year registration ,,then you get a title , i done that before ,most times you just send a letter to olympia here in wa and they will give you the owners name and adress ,,but it sometimes can be a pain , no the ford dont run its solid from firewall back no rust been sitting since 1969 in a barn dents on front fenders .

If you actually had the title to the vehicle it shouldn't have been a problem.

I've got a rig sitting in the yard that changed hands about three times before I got it and never had the title changed. I have the title and it is signed but it is also dated. It's going to cost me 100.00 extra to change it into my name if I ever manage to do it. I should have sold it when junkers were bring so much money a few months ago and not have to worry about it.

The main thing on something like that panel is to make sure it isn't a stolen vehicle or doesn't have a lean against it.
And it doesn't hurt to search through any and all papers that might be in the rig as I found the title to one that I got that "didn't have" a title in a bunch of papers in the glove box a couple of years ago.
