No title

I am one of those foolish souls that loves Mopars so much that I bought my car without a title. Now, I know I can go the honest route of the bonded title procedure. I am a little nervous though because knowing my luck there will be a lien on it from years ago. I am pretty sure there isn't because this car was supposedly found abandoned in an old storage lot and purchased from there. I won't go into a lot of details about the car, but what would y'all do in my position? If by the off-chance of a lien do I lose the car, or do I just have to cover the surety amount? Thanks for any advice here.
