Re: [DML] Title Problems

I had to go in front of a judge and prove ownership. It took about 10 minutes and 20 bucks.

Hi all,

I bought an '81 a couple of years ago from John Hervey. Originally John had bought the car to part it out, but once he got it back to his shop he decided to sell it whole because it was too nice to part out. Due to the fact that John intended to part the car out he never paid a whole lot of attention to the title, and he just took the title the guy have him. The problem is that the person John bought the car from never registered the car in this name, but he signed the title he received from the previous owner as the buyer. So of course I couldn't register the car because someone else signed the title as the buyer.

So I did my diligence and managed to track the guy down who John bought the car from, and told him he needed to register the car in his name because he had signed the title from the previous owner, and he said he was glad to do it. So I ended up sending this guy the title for the car along with $100 to cover the costs of registering the car. I called the guy every few weeks for over a year and he constantly had excuses as to shy he hadn't been able to get the title yet. Well, this guy has since disappeared entirely along with the title and the money. So now I have a car, with no title at all.

I do not want to part the car out, I want to put it back on the road. So does anyone who knows a bit more about this sort of thing know of any options to do get a title on the car? I've been trying to do this the right way for over two years now and no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike
