In Kentucky, they did not start issuing titles until the 70's. bartamos is correct. It is not a court filing. It is a process managed by the county clerk through the MVD. It is very possible it never had a title. You can go to the MVD with the serial number on the door post tag. They use this for the VIN. If it had been title in your state it should come up. If it had been titled in another state you might not find it. You should also be aware the serial number on the door post does not match the serial number on the engine. They did not start matching numbers during manufacturing until much later. If no previous title is in the system just follow the instructions of the clerk to start the process to generate a title.
