Thanks a bunch guys, you all always come through with a host of information.
The idea of putting on a tag from another vehicle was just to avoid getting stopped, blending in with all the other cars so to speak, but I see y'alls point about fraud and not good. I sent your idea about a FL temporary being a good option to my son. I assume he will contact the current owner to see if he can get one today. We will get to Tampa tonight, so picking the car up Sunday - no DMV open.
Thanks again, I'll let y'all know how it works out. Fingers crossed.
