Jerry,
   Cash is the best policy. You can give him a receipt also. Anyone preparing to make a trip from out of state to buy your car has time to go to the bank and get cash to pay for it. Just tell the man you don't like banks and paperwork. Just think about it, crooks are the nicest people you can meet. They practice being nice. You never heard of anyone getting conned by someone they didn't trust or like.
I just sold my Monte Carlo to a guy here in town. He paid me with a personal check. It took ten days before the check cleared and that was on another bank here in town. He could have taken it out and wrecked it and then cancelled the check in that ten days if he had wanted to. Jim

Jerry, I am with Jim on this...Cash is the best for any kind of auto transfer, unless they have a certified bank check, and you can call the bank and verify.  If you didnt know, we have a section in our classified ads for listing Non-57 Ford cars.  We dont allow brand x posting on this site, but if you have a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, or Edsel product of any year, you can post in in that section.  Your `51 is a good looking car, you should have no trouble selling it.

Sounds like good advise to me.

Years ago I bought a car for my wife from a woman in another part of the city that had us meet her at her bank and had the banker verify our funds and her title. Everybody happy.

I sold a 64 Falcon hardtop a few years back for $9000, the fellow I sold it to paid me in mostly 20 dollar bills with a few grubby 50's mixed in. I didn't ask any questions and the money was good, but when I deposited the money in my bank the teller raised an eyebrow. As they say in Passtime "cash is good".  Randy
