Jay, I'd need to know more about the condition of the car, whether it's been upgraded to Linux yet, how it handles in EZ-Pass situations, and whether or not it's been type certified for CD Radio (Sirius) or XM Satellite Radio reception. Since it's parked by the curb on blocks, make sure you get a couple of gorillas to help you move it on alternate side parking days. Other than that, I think you are in good shape and shouldn't have to worry about any theft insurance, unless you use it as your residence and have a substantial investment in its boom box component.

OT - Hi Jay, someone in my family has been involved with cars parked by the curb on blocks in the past. If I'm not mistaken, the following anecdote which has been passed down in family folklore actually did involve a pinto, or a mustang, I'm not quite sure. One of my brothers was on the mayor's task force at one point in charge of the city's drinking water quality upstate when he was handed a side job whose responsibility consisted of helping rid the city's streets of abandoned and burned out cars. No small undertaking at the time in a city the size of NY. He was called in to mediate in one situation where a burnt out car (NYFD) without tags (DMV/NYPD) was parked, on blocks, by the curb next to a fire hydrant (NYFD/NYTraffic/Sanitation). Neither the Fire, nor Sanitation, nor Police, nor Parking Bureau departments would claim responsibility for removing it, each pointing to why each of the others was more responsible. The issue was finally resolved when my bro had representatives of each department meet at the site. I'm told it was quite a scene. By that time, they were all hoping that the car would be carted off, even illegally, by a private junk yard operator. Instead, I think it turned to be a barking contest, resorting purely to anthropological tactics based on whose bark was the loudest. Kinda like how the current presidential election campaign debates are going.
