How Easy Stolen Hellcats Are Titled And Registered by VIN Swap How To

In this video I talk about how to take a stolen hellcat and make it legit. Unfortunately this method is easy and happens everyday. This is for educational purposes and to put the information out to make sure you protect yourself when buying a mopar product second hand.
This makes stolen hellcats extremely easy to clean and acquire clean titles.

[@michaelcoonce6694]

There was a group in California back in the 70s would steal specialty cars. Strip all parts . Dump it where it could be found. Then buy it at auction. Put all the parts back on then sell car

[@mexicanspec]

You can get away with anything for a while. Cops are stupid but they wise up after a while.

Yeah brother, that was my mistake. My 21 challenger hellcat got stolen and they totaled my shit. I’ll be getting another one this year and it’ll be on complete lockdown.

Make sure you come up with your own location for the switch. If you just copy a KZbin video and use a cheap product, your car is toast.

Never personally witnessed this but can see it happening. Heck look at the stories of people 'renting' a car with a high oerformance engine and swapping them out. (Not necessarily now a days but in the past) I will be curious on your follow up video if those vins pop up on a forsale car.

[@maxslintak9759]

cant you just remove the vin off that one and put it on the stolen one without doing the full swap

[@Mopar_illmatic]

The problem is, it probably won’t pass inspection because the inspection people want to see that the repairs have been made before the car is painted

[@TheRealGator65]

Hey I’m curious. If I buy a striker car am I screwed once I get pulled over and they find no info about the car?

[@gymowner1232]

I had that happen when I bought a Porsche from a dealer, sold it 4 years later and the buyer called to tell me it was stolen and he was arrested, bla, bla. Turns out the car was repossessed, and they never took it off the hot sheet that he reported when the dealer took it back for non payment. It got fixed in 1 day, but I was like WTF, I bought it from a Porsche dealer , anything is possible.

[@Kingike415]

From my experience repossessed cars typically don’t go on the hot sheet. It’s a civil issue. A lot of them end up bonded titles.

[@frankwhite933]

Im not sure about the theft recovery cars but I know for sure the fire damage cars get non-repairable or certificate of destruction or parts only titles. Right? Please correct me if I'm mistaken or misinformed?

[@travvisbroadwater]

Wrong. Money hungry insurance companies don't always make the title non repairable because they want to recoup as much money as possible off the total loss even if the car has been burned to nothing. The insurance companies are the problem. The should be held accountable for not making titles certificate of destruction and so on.

Before Carfax and before the VIN was on every body panel, this was much easier. I am not saying I have personal experience in that though. If somebody doesn't check the Carfax as to what damage the car had, what can you do.

[@gregwun7145]

Here’s the thing it’s not that easy because once you get the salvaged certificate, the vehicle has to be inspected by the state police before you get the title issue they are doing this to make sure there are no stolen parts on the vehicle. They check all serial numbers and you have to provide all your receipts from purchase the parts.

[@crowdsfavorite4660]

I just don’t understand. Dmv knows that that the vehicle is sold as a shell at auction, so when a person tries to register they should be questioned where all components and most importantly where the engine came from and they should be required to show legal proof of the engine being bought, it just blows my mind that it’s noted on history of vin that it was sold as a shell, and a week later someone tries registering “the shell” complete with interior, engine and trans. Anyone else agree ?

@@erroljones1684 I don't think it's the engineers because they are only told to build the cars the way the company wants to to save money and make the most profit. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a prototype charger or hellcat made or at least thought of with high end security but because it cost more money than they would want to spend they had put in a cheap toddler proof security system in the car.
