While they could verify that it's not stolen, that bit of information wouldn't make it yours.

You need to find out who owns it. If it did belong to the grandfather then it would be part of his estate and whoever is the executor of the estate would be the only person who could create a bill of sale or a title to the vehicle. Each state varies as to how title can be transferred and that's where your DOT comes in. You need to visit your state's DOT Internet site and research the question.

If no owner can be identified then it could be declaired abandon. From there it gets to the point where you might need some legal help.

But the bottom line is that it belongs to whoever the state says it belongs to.
