Ohio has REALLY lax laws about old cars but this is clearly illegal.  What a dumbass.

Wandered across a similar cl ad a couple of days ago.   Missouri?   Disclaimer  read  something like, "for display only".

Everyone that clicks on that ad should flag it.

Ohio's laws are not that lax, I assure you. This guy is begging for trouble with that ad. Wow.

[Ghoste]

And yet I'll wager he has little trouble selling them.

 with my suspicious brain          makes me wonder  what others ,  he might of had & sold  , before he felt the need to advertise , the not so popular models ,  in public

Maybe this should be forwared to the local PD.

To what end?  Help me out with the mechanics on this.

So, I buy a title for a forty year old car.   I fake a bill of sale.  Get it into my name. 
Now what?  I remove the vin off a no-title car I already have and claim it is the one that matches the title?
I report the car on the title stolen .......
I frame it and give it as a Christmas gift?
Is this any different from collecting old plates?
If I don't transfer it, is there anything here that is illegal?

   

[John_Kunkel]

Lots of people collect titles, just like stamps or coins.

It's not illegal until somebody tries to "rebody" a car using a legit title.

[F8-4life]

Anything to make a buck... plus old cars are a gold mine!

[RallyeMike]

Someone cite a statute that selling a title is illegal 

I doubt that it is. No more than buying rolling papers at 7-11. What the purchaser does with these may or may not be illegal.

Didn't seen him this year but there was a guy at the Auto Fair in Charlotte that had a vending booth just selling vin plates and titles.
