My two were simple old crusty mopars that got saved from the crusher and I think the titles were the open ones signed when the cars were brought to the yard. But it was overstressed to me the cars were dead in cali.

I dont know currently what they do on cars with bad parts but in the 90-s I bought a older 5.0 car and it had a newer fuel injected 5.0 I took to the dealership to sort some things out on and they informed me the motor/trans was hot but when we called the state boys, they came out and said since it was in a running car they would do nothing, if it were on a shop floor they would of took it, I never understood that whole deal.
