Im pretty sure the previous owner can get a replacement title from the DMV for about $10. They should have everything on record there. Sounds really shaddy to me if the PO doesnt want to go do that.

Edit: Hell it looks like you can even do it online.

he never had one. wat he said, cause it was a track car. but im calling the rest of the dmvs to find this ghost car.

 

Got one, the dumb bitch at CA typed it in wrong!!!!

 

Glad everything worked out
