77 from MO - title issues, what are my options?

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I am sure each state is different, but here in OK, you can file for a lost 
title, which includes posting 3 public notices (at a grocery store for 
example), stating that you are going to hold an auction for the cost of the 
storage of said vehicle, and waiting at least 3 weeks for the previous owner 
to see and respond to the notice.  On the day of the notice, you finish the 
paper work, take it to the tag office, and they charge you two years 
licensing, title fee and sum other stuff, came up to about 125.00 on 
my '81...  I am sure that MO is different, but it gives you an idea of what 
king of work might be involved though...
