I’m struggling with this because its a very special car that i would love to have however its alot of money to gamble with ! Thanks
What state do you intend to title the car in?

While strictly my opinion.......I don't know how anyone can reason top dollar for a car (based on what you shared) and not be able to convey any sort of transfer of ownership.

As mentioned, a bonded title has most the same effect as a salvage title.

Bruce in not only an astute lawyer but has owned, raced and sponsored race teams, owned machine shop & speedshop. Very knowledgeable when it comes to collector cars or anything automobile related. He has put on quite a few seminars at MCACN. Can't recommend him enough!!!

Since the seller has no interest in attempting to secure a title, I would assume he has already tried and failed, or knows it's not possible. Getting a person to research it deep enough to determine if you can get one is the best thing to do. Asking top dollar for a car with no title is conflict of interest. As already said many times, the price needs to reflect the situation.
