You do not a direct legal right to the vehicle. You can sue him for the money you contributed to the vehicle in either small claims or civil court but you should be ready to demonstrate the payments and where the money came from and why you are claiming that it was not just a gift. See an attorney locally for assistance. You might try the Bar Association.
