I lost the title of my car, but, have the bill of sale in my name. Can I still sell my car? What do I need to do for the person who wants to buy it? Please give details on what needs to be done, if anything.....thanks

Nope, the bill of sale only means it was SOLD to you. To sell it to someone else, you need to sign the TITLE over to them - it's proof that you own the car, ya know?
Anyway, go down to your DMV and apply for a duplicate title. It should be mailed to you in a couple weeks. Then you can sign that title over to whoever you want.

Get a new title, or you'll never sell that car to anyone who isn't an idiot.
Seriously, it is never a good idea to buy a car from someone who does not have the title in hand ready to sign over.
Get a replacement title before you even advertise the thing. It can be a hassle sometimes (depending on circumstances and policies in your state) but it's not expensive, and it's less hassle than the buyer will face trying to get a title. That hassle, and the potential...from the perspective of the buyer...for the car to be un-titleable or even stolen, is why people in the know won't buy a car without a title. It is also why you'd have to settle for a lot less money if you don't get a title.

Apply for a lost title with the DMV. They will issue you one for a fee. Otherwise meet the person you are selling it to at the DMV and take care of all the paperwork there.

no you need to file with the DMV for a lost title...without the title there is no proof that you are the owner of the vehicle therefore whoever buys it cant get the car legal in their name..

Apply for a lost title replacement, at the same place you get your tags etc.

Contact your DMV and ask how to get a duplicate title.

You have to go to the court house and pay for a duplicate title.
