Warning scammer!!!

Doesn't your state require a VIN inspection to transfer out of state titles? Here without the VIN attached to the car you have nothing even if the other numbers match the title. There is a way around it but it takes months plus money and then you get a state assigned VIN which will match nothing on the car.

Question: Is it legal (in Ohio) to transfer a vehicle title from one state to another without a vin tag and in this situation, a title not in the name of the actual seller? In Pa it certainly is not. Also, isn't the dash vin tag a DOT requirement?
I would be careful about proceeding to do anything with that car until this is resolved. I believe you are in possession of a vehicle that you do not legally own.

Good luck
