Getting a lost title

In just going by what he's told me. And I guess they don't actually issue titles on cars that old.
But supposedly every state has to honor and accept all other state's ways of car registration.we will see.

Probably 20 years ago a guy I know brought a 78 jeep pickup back from GA another "no title" state from what he said at the time, I never checked because it wasn't my truck. He said he got it cheap and thought he'd flip it easily up here because it didn't have any rust at all.
Well it sat over 5 years behind his garage, waiting and fighting with Illinois and never could register it here, when it was nasty looking and full of sap he ended up hauling it back to GA and giving/selling it back to a relative down there
Illinois has to be the most anal retentive state on license and title issues in the US. I hate dealing with them. And I know from talking to you guys on here among the highest priced/most fees for different things I'd have never dreamed they could invent a fee or tax for
