I know Matt used to be able to get titles in OH, but he said they have really been cracking down here. Used to be easier. Wonder if Jeremy at The Fiero Factory could help out.

Might be worth tracking the original owners down and offering them $500 to go the Title Bureau with you. Of course if i remember, you are in BFE WV. lol

I'm actually about 8 minutes to the state capitol building, not out in the middle of nowhere. Original owner deceased for over 25 years now, and their next of kin is i'm sure elderly as well. *IF* i owned a business i could put a mechanics lien on it and file for a title that way, I may have to find a business owner willing to help me out on this one.

This car came from about 40 minutes northwest of columbus ohio, Not sure where the previous owner picked it up (just literally told me a barn/shed in ohio) I did get a notorized bill of sale when i purchased it.

I don't have that particular one. Close but not quite.
Sorry your state sucks.

I know this doesn't help you but.. In CA its a bit of a process too. If you have no paperwork you just fill out a application for new title. As long as it's not in the system they do a vin inspection. If your door sticker is damaged they send you to CHP. CHP looks at the column tag checks if the vehicle shows up as stolen. Then you go back get a blessing and a temp to get it snogged and sometimes a brake and lamp inspection depending on how you answered questions. Then once all of that is passed they will issue you registration and title.

Edit:
Oh man i just read up on OH unclaimed vehicle titles and court order titles. Good luck man.

WV may be different than ohio to get a title, I'm in charleston WV, But the last thing i purchased without a title was from a tow yard auction, 2010 honda fury, as-is, from what i gathered, if i wanted to file for an abondoned vehicle title, i had to have the sheriffs dept. come take posession of my vehicle, they then hold it for 180 days, upon which time they send a certified letter to the last registered owner, *IF* there's no response then they attempt to place a listing in the local news paper, if no one responds with legal ownership then an abandoned vehicle title could be awarded, I also have to pay a huge fee for all of their "leg work" and *IF* a legal owner comes to claim the property, then they have to pay me $10 storage fee PER DAY that the vehicle was in my possession OR sign over the legal rights to the vehicle (the title) *IF* they pay me, then i'm out the vehicle, but at this point i could say i've had the vehicle since 2001 and that would be alot of money in storage fee's.

in the end, I purchased a 2010 honda fury frame with legal title from a dismantling shop in parkersburg WV and moved all the undamaged parts from my 2010 model over to it (everything but the shifter pegs and handlebars were good on my auction bike)

The state of New Hampshire doesn't require a title for a car that old. So you sell it bill of sale to some one in NH. Then they sell it back to you (probably need a notarized bill of sale). Now you have two bills of sale for the vehicle. North carolina is a pain too. This is the route I took to register my title less 1985 Chevy truck.

Trying to think why this would be...is it something to do with the heater core split at the end of the pipe?
