i bought this car a few years ago and started finishing the restoration. I just wanted to drive it. It was a show car in the late 80's and the owner died while he was redoing it again. His family sold it and it ended up in storage for nearly a decade until i got it.
I went to sell it a few months ago, because i can't afford to finish it anymore, and now I have no idea where the title is, just my bill of sale. It wasnt in the name of the guy i bought it from, but rather the deceased previous owner. The title was signed, and i have apparently lost it before i had the chance to transfer it in my name.
I contacted the secretary of state, and they set me up to do the paperwork for a bonded title, which would be okay, except the car has NO VIN on it anywhere. it was a bare metal restoration at one point and they didn't put any of the tags back on.
So now it seems my only option is to find a rusted out, ready-to-junk '66 mustang and take the VIN tags and title from it for my car, which is in very good shape. I'm also considering keeping her now, but I still need a title to get plates for it.
Anyone have a line on something that could help?
