How can I sign the title over without a bill of sale in California?

I recently purchased a 2008 Ford Explorer from a random guy on craigslist. The problem is that he was not on the title so he technically could not sell the car. The title is still original from when the car was new, and the first owner (a government party) has signed the title off and given up ownership. The buyer on the title (pink slip) is an Auction company, and the back was blank, except for the "buyer or agent" where he wrote his name. I put my information in the rest of the blanks. There are about four bills of sale attached, the last of which sold the car to a company that does not exist (anymore), as evident by Google and maps of where their address supposed to be.
So basically, I have a car and the pink slip that was signed over to someone else. Nobody else has interest in the car or considers it theirs. How can I transfer the title so I get one issued in my name?

I need some professional wisdom on my car?

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport that I bought back in April. Recently, it has started acting up in terms of the coolant system. For now, we put water in the vehicle because it uses it quickly. A simple trip to work and the water disappears. Sometimes, the temperature gauge will move to hot, but nothing happens. Once I pulled over, and got under the hood and it was still cold. But sometimes I go under the hood and IG is warm, but the gauge says nothing.

What's causing my car to stall while driving?

I own a 2000 Ford explorer XLS, V4. I'd like to know what can cause my car to stall while driving? I never had a problem like this before until 3 days ago. I was able to restart my car about 10 minutes later after it cranked for about 2-3 secs. I had the battery changed 6 months ago. Crankshaft position sensor was replaced a week ago. Alternator tested fine. All sensors are working and fuel pressure and fuel pump are ok as well. I was able to drive the car with no stalling for the past two days. I took the car to the mechanics and they weren't be able to find the problem.

If anyone knows what's going on or have any suggestions, please let me know.
