I own an old truck. Out of state title, in another persons name, and I don't have the time to wait for a new title to come in the mail. I have 2 private bills of sale to prove I acquired the vehicle legally, but these bills of sale reflect a great deal given to me by a family member before I cleaned it up. Truck is old, beat up, but running, and I'm told (by a friend at a dealership) that it should fetch around 2200-2400 bucks in an ideal sale.
Long story short, I need to get a decent deal on this truck so I can afford to buy a commuter car. Is the current condition of this title going to fuck me? I'm okay with taking a few hundred bucks out of my profit for an outdated title, but is there a way to definitively prove ownership of a vehicle without waiting for the new title? Is there a free/cheap VIN check service to show the last official owner of the truck, that I could present along with the old title?
Thanks in advance /o/, any other tips for a quick private sale would be great as well.

One last bump in hopes of help

Without a title in hand, its a parts truck.

I have the most recent title, is just 2 owners out of date.

Fuck it, just write the bill of sale using the name on the title.

Is the back of the title, in the transfer area, signed by the owner printed on the title?

Yes.
Floating titles is illegal. You need to wait to get a title in your own name before you can sell it. Good luck.

Curbstoning is illegal. Get a new title. Ot find (another) retard to sell it to.

Why don't you just get the truck in your name and cut losses?
So, you bought a shitty truck, without title. Did a bunch of work on it, still without title. Now you want to sell it, but you still don't have the title. But now it's an emergency or some shit, and you're in too much of a hurry to get a title.
But you're wondering if there's a way you can prove you actually own the truck, without the thing that proves you actually own the truck.
