My family and I live in SC and have been into old cars / trucks for 30+ years. There are only a couple ways we have ever gotten a title. One was by having a friend in Alabama get a title there on a car, then transfer it to us. We've tracked car after car to dead ends. I don't know why they're so crazy here. There are also title services that are a little shady. I know they advertise in the old car publications. Somehow they provide something like a signed registration card from 1975. They probably don't even know when the car was last registered, but neither will the SCDMV if the car came from GA. My brother titled a GTO this way about five years ago. We've been through this time and time again. The thing is, the only person who ever sees it is the clerk who doesn't have a clue. If it says what it's supposed to say, she'll stick it in the file and you're out the door.
