Not having a title—lost it? Is he the original owner or did he buy it from someone else? What’s the likelihood you could get a title?
No title, well depends on where you live. Sometimes a bill of sale is enough. You can get a Federal trail pass without a registration, so you can still have fun with it. Does it have a VIN? VIN located on frame above the tag.
Does it clatter or knock when running? Does it shift thru all five gears? Does it do reverse? Does the oil light come on momentarily when you turn on ignition? Does neutral light come on, how bout reverse.
To get the fan to come on you would have to drive it in 2nd gear for about 15 minutes, so I don’t recommend that unless the owner would let you.
A new timing chain job runs about $600.
$1900 is high depending on how it runs. In my area they will sell for $1800 to $2200 in good condition. Keep in mind most parts for this are no longer available thru the dealer.
