I bought an 89 festiva L today and the owner had gotten the car from an old lady that died. He never got a title with it. Anybody have an idea if I could get a title for it somehow. If not could I use the shell for my 93 festy, since it's so rusty and just swap the vin tag out.

I wouldnt be hesitant to swap dash's/vins. I dont think any authority would ever go threw the hassle of checking each vin tag. But! If you where ever in a accident and they found you at fault and the insurance found out you swapped vins they may drop you and not cover the accident. I would try to pursue a lost title through your local dmv, usally they send a letter to the previously titles person and they just sign off on it and reissue a new title.

Personally I would try the legal route first just to keep the peace of mind down the road, but if that failed, I wouldn't let a rust free body go to waste either lol

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment

Try and file for a lost title first, then go for a bonded title, that takes about 9 months to a year for that process to work, or there is a company in N.Y. State that will get you a title in about 3 weeks for $350, Good luckAn idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment

Yeah I've been looking for a rust free body for a long time. The one I just picked up for $100.00 has a little surface rust here and there on the body panels but looks great underneath.It also has gl aluminum wheels, smooth taillights and a/c. Unfortunately it's an auto and the motor smokes real bad. Aspire and engine swap here I come.Comment
