Neither of those owners had the Title transferred to their name. Thanks.

Thank you all for your replies. It looks like a Bonded Title is the way to go. Will I need a lawyer?

In May I bought a 1987 Jeep Comanche. The seller (who was in North Carolina) gave me a Tennessee title signed over in 2005. The title was not transferred to the previous owner. The truck has not been on the road since 2005. I'd planned to repair the truck to bring it into a road-worthy condition, but the South Carolina DMV insists the Title must be in the previous owners name, then signed over to me. Did I buy a parts truck? Thanks.
