Owners of cars die and titles to old cars get lost. Not uncommon at all.
That is why you see all these ad's. It is not always possible to get the rightful owner to get the title for you.
The last 5 cars I bought didn't come with titles. Again i say Bought not stole. Got a bill of sale. None of them came back as stolen when checked. There is no way this is doing any harm to anyone in the hobby.
It is nothing more than getting the most out of what is left out there to choose from.
When you buy a car that needs a engine you replace it. Without it the car wouldn't be
worth owning. When you buy a car without a title you replace it, no different. I truly don't
understand why saving any mopar isn't a good thing, title or not.
You act as if this is a new disease that has threatened all mopars. Well I have been building mopars for 40 years and my father before me.
My first Mopar was a 69 swinger that was a total loss according to the insurance company. Wrecked in the front. My dad taught me how to buy a second wrecked swinger that was hit in the back and build a car. There was no such thing as a salvage title back then.
This has been going on long before there was a Mopar hobby. It will be going on generations after I am dead when some new Mopar guy wants to register one of my old mopars that he found sitting somewhere without a title.
No amount of naysayers voices will will sway the owner from building his car. Their words are waste to a builder and will be more so as time leaves fewer cars to build.
Good luck with your futile campaign. They could make it illegal for a person to register a gasoline powered auto sometime in the future and this would still go on for the ownership
papers.
