I bought a 95 camaro and got the title when i bought the car. of course I was lazy and didn’t transfer it right away and now I don’t know what i did with it. the kid i bought it from never put it in his name either so i don’t even know who the official owner is.
crappy situation. only the last titled owner can apply for the title, so you’d need to try and do some research at the DMV to try and find them, then hpe they are willing to help you out.
If it hasnt been registered in 5 or 8 years in NY you can do a MV51 or mv 51B to get a title. Best bet is to do it is to do an MV-15 form at a local issuing office and find out the last title owner, contact them, get a replacement title and do it that way. You can also Bond the title. go to WWW.NYSDMV.com and start reading
