Need help getting a title

I bought a car 8-9 years from a woman that was left in the barn where she living. She did not know who it belonged to or what it was. It turned out to be a 74 challenger set up for 1/8 mile drag racing. I did a stolen/ salvage check and it came back neg. I now want to get a title so I can sell it. I tried to sell local but no title no sale. I have heard of people doing a history check of sorts to find out previous owners. Has anyone done that for their ride. I tried listing in forebodiesonly but no luck. Any help appreciated.
