My wife bought a '71 bug at a salvage yard in CA (it didn't pass the smog test) & only had a receipt for it showing she paid $500 for it. We got nowhere at the local BMV (not surprised) so, after several calls to Indy & talking to someone high enough on the food chain we got a salvage title for it. I know I'm in Indiana but hopefully with some effort you can find someone to work with you.
