Yes. But it is titled as Smith AND Jones, both have to sign to sell it. In some cases it may be titled as Smith OR Jones- and either could sell it.

yes
If the names are like, "John Smith -and- Mary Smith", then they both have to sign the title. If the names are like, "John Smith -or- Mary Smith", then one signature is needed, and it can be by either one.
both
Yes
From what I've read (I have the same situation) if there is an "AND/OR" on the title, only one needs to sign. If there is no "and/or" both need to sign.
When a CA title has 2 names on it the way the names are recorded will decide who can sell the vehicle. If the names on the title read "person 1 / person 2" then both parties would have to sign off title to sell vehicle but when the title reads "person 1 or person 2 then only one of the two people have to sign the title in order to sell the vehicle. So basically if the names are recorded with a / (meaning end) between the names then both parties must sell but if the names are recorded with an OR between them then only one person has to sign off title for sale. Other states may be different, so check with your DMV to be sure. In some, "or" is used instead of "/."
Most states will allow you to register a car in one name even if two names are on the title. Of course, the registration has to be in one of the names on the title.
If the title says "and" then both people are needed to sell the car. If the title says "or" then only one of the people is needed for a sale.
No, if your name is one of the two on the title. That makes the car as much your property as it is theirs. If you intentionally deprive them of the use of the car by hiding or destroying it, then it becomes a civil matter - not criminal.
Both people own the car. If the names on the title show John Doe "and" Jane Doe, the title must be signed by both John and Jane before it can be sold. If it shows John Doe "or" Jane Doe, only one signature is required to be able to sell it.
Both parties must agree to the sale and sign the title if the title says "and". If it says "or" you can sell it with just one owner's signature on the title.
