Oregon DMV and my "crushed" dart

That really sucks ! I hate that! I hope you get it straightened out that's a sweet dart! Im a little worried about that too when the time comes to title my challenger, the title i got was a jumped title, the guy I bought it off of bought it in like 2001 and never had it put in his name. I did some research and the previous owner died in 2004 so there is no getting a bill of sale or anything like that from him I just wonder if the dmv will notice that? Do they look at the dates and if the owners still alive ? I guess I could just sign my name and date it for 2001 but I don't like being dishonest. My plan was to just reach out and get a bill of sale from the man who's name is on the title but thats not gonna happen. So I'm not sure how im gonna do it.
Get a trusted friend to sign it so the signatures dont look similar, then head on down the road.
