Has there ever been a thread with the title "purchase or run away" where the buyer shouldn't have run away?

I think the answer in this case is embedded in the question. There doesn't seem to be any upside potential. The "donor car VIN" is a "run don't walk" red flag.

Run Forrest Run!!! There are plenty of cars out there that do not have title issues. Unless you think that you can sell the parts and make a profit, do not go there. You cannot use the VIN from the donor car, it will be obvious that it is not the donor. If you are only planning on using the car as a race car or on a track, then go for it. Otherwise, if you think that you will want to drive the car down the road, you probably do not want to go there.

The fact that you are asking the question suggests that you are thinning that this is a bad decision, trust your instinct.
