So to play it safe should he pass on it, because it may have been stolen? I could see if it was a copo or ss or something valuable or worth restoring, seems like very little risk for a rusty 6cy car that he is only using for parts. I could see there being a problem if he wanted to resell it as a complete car, or try to title it, knowing there are some inaccuracies between the trim tag and the vin. I understand not wanting to promote switching tags and all, this just seems like the type of cars you run across when looking for parts donors.
