Just goto the next dmv or get back in line for another person to wait on you,always let them look over the minimal amout of paperwork first ,before you tell them anything at all .
Alot of the times if they do not know they will just go ahead and let it slide thru or tell you to fill something out and return to the line and take care of it.

That or my favorite one is to goto the next state over ,I am sure they would like to collect the tax on it ,then return to your state and tranfer the title.
Or you can go the long route,walk in with a bill of sale you have written yerself and state in it that you {somebody else} sold the car to you {actually you} and its a 30s vintage.
The DMV has no qualms about 5 different people they have ,telling you five different things,soo I have no qualms about going back in the door 5 different times ,to tell them 5 different stories
I even had the morons tell me one time ,my f-250 was a commercial vehichle and I needed 800 dollar a year plates Did I argue....no,just go get back in line for another person and they took care of me no questionsd asked


The laws are soo screwed out here ,we have whats called a referee ,like basketball or football ,the referee makes the call.
