Its in restorabe shape.Could I get a title from a bill of sale? or what should i do? I want to fix her up, but dont want to put money into something i cant get a title too.

Here in New Mexico you can apply for an abandon vehicle title. We did that very same thing with an old Motorcycle several years ago. I don't remember the details now but the motor vehicle department gave us all the info we needed at the time to get a title. It seems that we had to get some kind of "Surity Bond". I don't remember it be expensive but it did take a little time and had a few "Hoops" to jump through. I would get some sort of bill of sale from the person who gave it to you saying they had done so at no charge and wouldn't sink a penny in it until I had Title in hand. People tend to change their mind when the see the finished product.------Pieman
