That is a big red flag. The bill of sale has to be the FAA bill of sale form and it has to be filled out EXACTLY how FAA wants it. If one block is wrong then the owner of record with the FAA will have to correct it. The Kitfox I bought last year was that way. The guy I bought it from sent in the bill of sale and there was something not right about it. FAA sent it back to him to correct and he never did. Online it showed as sale pending and I thought that it just had not been processed yet. found out later from the ladies at FAA that the guy I bought it from didn't own it in the FAAs eyes. I wound up having to track down the owner before the guy I bought it from and sending stuff back and forth to have him sign as well as the guy I bought it from to sign. Finally got it worked out but it was a huge PITA. If I had not been able track down the previous guy it would not have happened. If you proceed you need to make sure everything is in order with the paperwork, and I would also want to make sure I could reach the owner of record in case there are problems.
