Carfax in NG on anything pre 1981. I'm hoping the local DMV will help me out otherwise, don't know what to do.
Its a parts car that I bought with a bill of sale. PO did the same many yrs ago and had since lost the original owners info.
I think its rebuildable if I can get a title. Ther's a little rust to repair and I have a spare engine transmission from another V8 conversion project.
Tabby's been eying it and is already picking out paint colors. Like I need another project...
Hmm... maybe I'd better say the title is unavailable.

If the alphanumeric sequence of the license plates on your '75 Porsche are identical to those on a 2006 Honda, then I think it's safe to assume your Porsche license plates, and their attendant ownership information have been purged
from the DMV system, as the DMV won't issue the same license number to two different vehicles.
Probably you can go to the DMV with your bill of sale and apply for a new title
anyway. Just explain everything that happened. Trips to the DMV can be like a Kafka-esque journey, but things like this have happened before, so there ought to be precedent the DMV can apply to smooth things out.
Best to sort this issue out BEFORE restoring it with the idea to making it street legal.
