Any way to get a title??

Good advice, talk to the local DMV. Can't hurt to take the info into a licensing place and ask, either. Worked well for me.

My Duster came out of a yard with only a bill of sale. I put it back together, and had it inspected. The guy wrote on the paperwork in big letters "REGISTRATION ONLY" and highlighted it, so I figured it would be a 3 year deal before I got my title. Title came in the mail a month later. :-)

On my Valiant, I talk to a lady at licensing (took pictures in and all the info I could) and she gave me the name of the previous owner. She gave me a letter to get the guy to sign and off I went. Tracked him down in Cali, and spend a couple of months bugging him before he signed it. Took it back and got my title. This might not work for you as I think she kind of broke the rules for me. She never said so, but I'm not sure that if I had talked to someone else, they would have help me out like she did. I think part of what helped is I had pictures and info, not like I just walked in off the street with a memorized VIN.
