It sounds more like "Government employees at their worst"!
I would try appealing directly to the state department of motor vehicles and
ask for their assistance. Be sure to include a complete explanation of the
circumstances.
Good Luck,
Joe

Subject: [TR] Government at its worst
Team:
4 years ago I bought TS51185 from a guy in Connecticut and got a notarized
bill of sale. Having now gotten the car to a point (running, almost ready
for paint, hopefully less than a year from finished) where I would like it
to be insured, I applied for a Massachusetts Title. Well, apparently our
great commonwealth recently enacted a law of "no new titles" and are
refusing to accept my application without a previous title. I explained
that the guy who sold it to me probably never had a title, and certainly is
not going to be interested in going about getting one in retrospect. The
lady's reply ? "Well, I guess you won't be driving it anytime soon"
Has anyone come across this type of thing before ? Any Advice ?
A frustrated,
Andrew Uprichard
TR3B: TCF 191L (titled)
TR3A: TS 51185L (who knows......)
