Go buy a Hemmings Motor News (magazine stand or Barnes and Noble). They have many places that advertise a service that will help you. Basically this company will put a lein on the car which gets it into their name. They will then transfer ownership to you. It may take a couple of weeks, but its pretty legal and not too expensive (I think its about $200)
