In Missouri, you broke the law when you bought it without a title, end of story.
It also depends, was the vehicle even legal when you bought the vin, etc. If it was stolen.....
It my opinion it's not worth it in any case, transferring these items from a Hemi Cuda to a 318 coupe do not a Hemi Cuda make, so I can't think of a single context where it's worth it to the point of even asking about legality.
