It would be nice to note the hidden vins...

Perform an autopsy and post the results.

Interesting find and a perfect example of what happens. . This thread could unfold into an even more interesting conclusion....please do post what you find. . I wonder if a re-Vin car exists now and if so, if it's been sold and what the owner knows? . If you bought this tagless hulk now, would you be the legal owner of this Vin and the tags if tracked down? ~ Pete

I have asked a few law enforcement people about who would own the tags, for a similar situation.
All of them said the same thing. The tags, if located, would be returned to the owner of the body that has the matching hidden VINs.
This was a few years ago. I don't know if it still would be true or not.

Who's got the title? There's your owner.

Hey Jeff....if I fanangled the title to your car into my name, am I really the owner? ~ Pete

Jeff,
The car I was persuing turned out to have a re-issued title, in a recent seller's name. I was warned about the tag swap and found a few leads to the owner of the cutup body.
Apparently in Ohio, a reissued title is fairly easy to get
with the help of a lawyer and bill of sale.
The title was clean, with no salvage or builder indications.
I was advised not to buy either car at any price. I was told the reissued title would not retain ownership of the tags in court.
Just passing on what I was told.
