[WSBAPT] bill of sale for inheritance?

[Teunis J. Wyers]

I think a bill of sale is about the best you can do, but include as much
descriptive information as you can obtain.  Is there a VIN? Is there a
number stamped on the frame somewhere? If there is a motor in it, include
the serial number of the motor, which would be stamped into a flat spot
machined into the casting somewhere.
