What if you have family or friends in another state that would accept a bill of sale? Maybe someone could title the car in their state and then transfer it back to you... ??? Just an idea...

I have tried different states, but about five years ago i was asked by nj dmv to send the originals to see if it could be processed. But of course, nj dmv misplaced them. All i have is my copies, and even the sale from the auction. I even had the local police come down and verify the vin number...still no good with nj....horrible ...just goes on and on...thanks

There has to be a way. In any event, that car is way too nice to be parted out.

I've used him. I know personally people who have used him.
Lost Car Titles, No Car Title at All?
Lost Car Titles, No Car Title at All?
It was easy a few years ago, but I was told it's not anymore... Hard to figure it out from my location, everything is not on the internet, not even yet!
Oh, and I'm not the member who claims so, obviously.

HArd to say what it's worth for the car sitting so long and with only 4 pics, as it needs a thorough checkout for drivability, which is a huge factor in value.
If the condition shown in the pics is representative of the whole car (meaning no major surprises for rust, mechanicals, seat tears, etc) then I'd say that's a $3000 car minimum, more to the right person. It's a 2dr, good ext and int colors, wheels are cool(hopefully those redlines are usable!). Being a F3 deducts a bit, the 360 *might* deduct a bit (although to me a 360 and 383-2barrel are worth about the same), and if 8-1/4 axle that's not as desirable to someone who wants to build the car up further.
I agree, there's gotta be an out-of-state buddy that can help you get a title.

I just heard today that Vermont will register a car to an out of state owner. Not titled but register, if the car is older than 15 years.
I didn't believe it but it might be worth looking into. At least that way you can go to the Jersey MVS and have the car already registered to you

Looking at this link, there are a few hurdles, but nothing terrible. If the seller is willing to work with you and give you a notarized letter with all the requirements outlined in the link, then this should not be too difficult. Failing that, it should be possible to transfer ownership to someone outside New Jersey who lives in a state that will issue a title from the bill of sale that you have. Then, you simply "purchase" it back from them and you will have a title to give to the state of New Jersey.

It's hard for me to imagine any state issuing a new title based solely on a piece of paper and no car present.
In IN, any car with an out-of-state title has to be inspected by the police and an Affadavit form completed. I've done it several times, it's not a big deal to get done, my county deputies would come to the house and do it. They compare the title vs the VIN on the car, run it thru the 'puter, and if no issues, they sign the form and you are set for visiting the DMV to file for your title.
But this situation is different, and with bigger hurdles. The question we'd have in IN, is you don't have a title to compare (probably a minor hurdle if an official notarized bill-of-sale) but the bigger issue is no car to inspect.
So not only do you need to find a trustworthy buddy in another state, but you must probably send the car to him also. That's expensive - and risky.
But please do something to conclude this - a car with no title is a big risk, if somebody steals it you have little to stand on.
