I have bought 2 cars in Florida, without a title, just a BOS from a salvage yard. They were both going to be race cars, so didn't care about a title at the time. When I decided, I might want to put one or both on the road, I needed to get titles. Contacted the owner of the salvage company (new owner, not the one that sold me the car). I showed them the BOS from the company, they ran the VIN number, and it was still in the data base. Salvage company sent a letter to the titled owner, waited the required period of time, then placed a "mechanics lien" on the car. Sent for a title in their name, then transferred the title to me. It was not cheap as Fl charges 80 some dollars for each title transfer plus I had to pay the people at the salvage company for their time and effort.
