Isn't the car in the ad in North Carolina? It's on the Raleigh NC so I just assumed.
Opppss...I didn't even pay attention to location!
Here's NC's regulation :
http://www.dmv.org/nc-north-carolina/buy-sell/state-regulations.php
"If there is no title and you can't get in touch with the previous owner to obtain one, you can still title the car in your name. The only way to do this is through an indemnity bond. "
So, in NC, you can sell it without a title.
