what exactly is the issue? sounds like you bought a junk/totaled rig with a Ct title, most states usually require those to be sent out of state and they wont issue a reconstruction / repair title in the same state it was totaled. Ma requires a specific title inspection to be done to get a totaled vehicle changed to a reconstruction title.
a side note that may not have anything to do with your situation is i sold a reconstruction titled rig into NY and as long as it passed their safety inspection it was issued a clean title. maybe you know someone in NY you could sell it to to help clean up the title? i hope i was some kind of help.
