Question about getting a car titled, Has anybody bought a car with no title Options

[jbyron]

There's one on Craigslist. Owner says he has no title, he bought it to make a road racer out of it. I called the Department of Revenue in my state, and the nice lady told me that I would have to get a lawyer to file a petition and get a judge to grant me title.

Not that I doubt the veracity of what she told me, but is this the only way to get one back on the road? Anybody who has been through this before, I'd appreciate your insights. Otherwise, it looks like this is another one destined to be parted out.

It is really not a problem. Many states will register a car without a title as those states do not title a car that is older. When taking this registered car to a title state, the DMV will then exchange the registration for a title. Most 914s in Georgia have no titles but rather registrations, a bill of sale enabling registration of the vehicle.
Worst case scenario, sell the car to someone in a non title state, have them register the car, and then have an agreement that they will sell it back to you. You can then with a bill of sale and their registration, exchange for a title in your state.

Obviously you would need to check the car first for legitimacy!!!
