Barracuda Dilema

Here in Colorado, with no title or bill of sale the process is as follows.
Have a state patrol run the vin to see if they are stolen.
If cleared you can then purchase an insurance bond for the car.
Then you have to put an ad in the paper for 30 days stating that you are getting a title for the car and if anyone disputes it they have to speak up.
Next you have to apply for the title through the department of motor vehicles with proof of the above items.
You get a temporary title and after a year they issue you an actual title. Once they issue you an actual title you can remove the insurance bond.

Not that big a deal really for someone who is interested.

Post up the fender tags please.
Placing some value on the cars might change your opinion on how to handle the situation.
