Granted you should of did a title transfer right away with out getting plates, That is the first thing I do when I get a used car. With that said I think you should go back to the dealer that sold it to you no matter how long it has been. That's odd that they gave you the old title, I have always had to wait for the title to come in the mail from dmv in my name from the dealer.

Everything I've read here indicates they did everything by the (Illinois) book. There is zero evidence that they wouldn't have handled any title issues at the time of sale, or for that matter, won't handle them now. The only thing that's making this a big deal is that OP sat on the paperwork for six months, and is now whining because he can't drive his non-titled car this weekend: that's not their fault, it's his.
Why would anyone make an investment of that size and not want the title situation settled right away especially on a Corvette. I suspect that it will work out in the end , but this should teach the op an important lesson, especially living in Pa.

Other notaries say same thing. Doesn't matter how long I wait, the dealer still has to put a dealer title on it so it is CLEAN to transfer to pa. The state requires the dealer or bank to fix it.
I have to over night it back to the dealer, the need to get a title, then overnight it back to me. Supposedly Illinois has a quick process for dealers ...... We'll see
Beautiful dAy and it's in the driveway ...........

IL and fast in the same sentence...... Now that is funny
In all seriousness. Good luck and enjoy the car once titled.
