Warning scammer!!!

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

They impounded our Challenger convertible as it was on the back of a tow truck going to the body shop because we removed the dash pad with the vin to do the bodywork. It took them almost a week to verify the ID of the car and that we were legally the owners and then released it back to us. We did have the title in our name.


We weren't trying to scam or hide anything. We had to remove the dash so the body shop could do some work on the firewall and cowl.


This was just to take it across town, I would think across state lines is worse...
