Barracuda Dilema

Thank you all, I appreciate all the opinions and concerns. First step is to check the vins, second is to contact state police, I think I will contact the guy who did mechanic liens too and see his thoughts, and then see where to go from there. They are honestly both pretty rough cars, but if the titles can be had and somebody wanted to fix one I think it would be worth it. To be completely honest, I don't think the PO even has or had the titles, otherwise he would have done what was agreed upon. I will update when I find out more info.
