Colorado titles, Colorado title help Options

[srreality]

I"m looking for help with a Colorado title problem from the Forum members in Colorado. I recently posted on here that I bought a project car (1973 914-4) for a winter time project. It was effectively abandoned at a garage years ago. There are no ownership records, no plates,and the car is mostly disassembled, so easy to say that it's a pile of parts, with body/paint/rust elimination all done. It appears I can get a rebuilder's title with fairly minor pain and hoops to jump through. Correct me if I'm wrong there. But once I rebuild the car, it appears I can get that changed to a regular title with some additional pain and hoops to jump through. I've been studying the checklists from the Colorado DMV, but it always seems that the actual process is not necessarily the same. This isn't really a "garage" issue, but I would welcome advice from someone who has done this before, or refer me to a service that handles such things (for a price, of course!) in case that makes sense.

I know a guy who supposedly has a guy in Vermont that can title cars with lost titles. I have no experience and haven't looked into the legalities of it since it seems to be in a pretty gray area but something like that might be an option (then transfer title back to CO)...
