Car title

Here is my $0.02. Unless you get real lucky, you have nothing but a parts car. I have not had much luck with DMVs. If they CAN tell you no, they usually will. I hope you don't have too much money tied up in it. FWIW, you can make a lot of money parting out a car.
Don't get me wrong; I truly wish you luck, but I don't see a title in your future.
