im sure the resto shop got paid for their work already.Oh dear, what a waste of inspection resources on a conceded loss of long ago.
Now, it's lose lose lose. The guy in Europe doesn't get the car, the restoration shop is out of the money it spent to refurbish, and the original owner may not even be alive or want it back!
sounds awesome.
you know who's fault is? the damn DMV! they titled a stolen vehicle! doh!
