1971 340 h code duster complete car-partout

well, i just got a early call. the guy cannot come up with the money. you all keep saying to get a title........ how do i go about that? how much? where at? how long. i really also wanted to redo the car, but i do not want it just sitting here. if i thought i could get a title, then maybe that would be an option, but i would hate to do all that work to it, then not be able to obtain one
