This is what you do in WA state. 1) request a release of information from the DMV on the last titled owners mailing address (they will look it up for you using the serial #). 2) Send a registered form letter (DMV provides) to the last titled owner. 3) If no response in 15 days or no one is found you may be able to get a new title in your name for it or they may make you do a registration only for 3 years, at the end of which you are issued a title. You could also ask the state patrol to do an abandoned/junk vehicle certificate for it. Make sure you go about it legaly and in good faith. I have talked to many hot rodders who have used titles from other trucks/cars only to find their vehicle in the impound yard while the paperwork gets straightened out. Good Luck.
