Where did you buy the car from? Where are you now? How did you pay for the car? Need more information.

This stuff is typically very specific to the state you live in.
Do you know what state it came from? Maybe the state it came from's motor vehicle dept. can locate the owner with the VIN.
Have you spoken w/ the NJ motor vehicle dept? Are there any third party companies in your area that hunt down and fix these issues?

I bought my 71 from NY they don't have titles for cars over 15 years old.Took the old registration down to Trenton and they gave me a title for the car. It didn't take long at all and was easier than I thought,Just bring alot of ID. Good Luck

Hey everybody - 377 did something that most folks can't ever figure out how to do. That's change the spelling in the title of the thread!!
Anyway, most States have provisions for re-creating an original title after you prove you are the legal owner, and that the original title is un-recoverable somehow. Check with your county (or whatever) motor vehicle department. They usually have all this info online now.
Good luck -

Another good reason not to buy a car without a title.
The advice you need varies state to state. You really need someone in NJ or wherever the car was last registered to answer your question. I know in Tennessee you can get a title through an artisans (sp) lean sale. A towing company or similar with an abandoned car get a copy of the title from the state using the VIN. Then they runs ads and try to send registered mail to the last known owner and listed leinholders. Then after a time there is an auction sale and high bidder gets a stack of paperwork to take to the title place. They get a clean title back.
There are also places in Hemmings that can help track down titles. That avenue will not come cheap probably.
