I made an offer to the guy, even after doing research and seeing this thread. When it came time to buy it, he brought out a title from Wyoming that wasn't in his name. The back of the title was filled out by the apparently deceased former owners, but had lines through their signatures. The title also notes that it has to be signed in front of a notary public, which it was not. Next to the crossed out signature of the former female registered owner, was her signature a second time. I'm a police officer and deal with scams all the time. The second signature was obviously forged and had a different sale date. I walked away from the sale. I know this wasn't a special 72 Blazer, but it was still in decent condition to rebuild. It pisses me off that someone would try to sell something knowing full well it would take years of legal litigation for the new owner to get in their name.

That's some very valuable information for anyone who might be tempted to go after this one. I've been watching since the beginning of this thread and it just didn't smell right from the outset.

Most states have error forms and with a notarized statement to the effect
That the sale.fell through or signed in wrong place I could breeze right through
The dmv here.

It would be pretty hard to get a notarized statement from dead people. Unless you mean SC will accept a notarized statement from you. That would be pretty thin protection for any legal owners whose title had been duplicated or stolen.

Having just read and enjoyed this thread, the first thing that pops into my head is the guy knows or suspects that it is stolen or at the least was "borrowed" by a family member and was reported to the local PD. Thus his attitude about looking at it. Right now my money is on that it's mildewing away in Astoria. No title no deal.
