How to sell a car you want off road only?

[JasperFrank]

I have a '93 Ford Festiva. 235,000 miles. I've taken the back seat out of it.
This thing has been amazing to me, for what it can haul and do. But its reaching a point that it isn't road worthy, so I want to sell it. And I want to sell it cheap, but I don't want some young person buying it to fix up. In my mind this car should have an afterlife, but it should be as a Race Platform or a Farm Vehicle.
Is there specific, legal, language I can use to prohibit its use as a road vehicle. And I know what "as is, where is," means. Can I say in the title transfer, what use the car can have? Mainly, you can't fix this up to be road worthy. I want it to be either a farm vehicle or a race car frame.

Take your car and title to the recycler. If you sell it, it belongs to someone else. Why do you want to be so controlling over someone else's property?

I think your heart is in the right place. However, you can't fix/save stupid. The buyer that is...

i guess you could write the ad to say, not roadworthy, if you are trying to CYA. save a copy of that.

Maybe obscure part or all of the VIN on the car and paperwork. This idea just a shot in the dark.

Do you want to buy it $1,200?

I already have a lot full of junk cars. I'll trade you a '93 Mustang Convertible. A new top is more than it's worth.

As said, but somehow not read correctly, I don't want someone thinking this is a a good deal to be a road worthy car. It isn't and will need 400 or so dollars to replace all the bushings in the front end. Not an issue if its a farm vehicle, or a base for a race car. But I don't want to sell to someone that thinks its just a cheap car, to use on the roads. That part of this car's life is over. But it still has life in it, maybe 75K more miles. I look at UTVs, an I am thinking, you could take the doors off
You could even cut the roof off and haul a hell of a lot. As race cars, these seem to be good platforms, because they were so light.

I’d sell it and not worry about it but if you truly don’t want it on the road sell it to a dismantler and rip up the title.

Kelly Blue Book - kbb.com - says it is worth $300 - $1100. If it is not road worthy it will be in the $300 range.
