65 AMC Marlin

The trunk lid shows alot of surface rust from a poor repaint but there are a couple small holes showing. DMV here does abandon/lost titles online and the application wont accept the serial # as its to short?? Even if it went thru it would be time consuming.....DMV values old cars with classic car value guides which inflates the value and triggers an inspection to be done to verify actual condition and I'm just not going to hassle with it right now........It needs to go. I have a bunch of parts that go with it I may just part it all out and junk the rest??
