Now thats just wrong
OK Guys, this is easy.
Ever heard of NMVTIS?
There's a difference between "salvage" and "junk".
Salvage=rebuilder in most states.
Junk=Junk, never to be on the road again, in most states. This is a one-way street unless your state lets you build "customs", in which case they're going to want to know why that E-body should be a custom, and not an E-body with a suspiciously missing VIN.
Think you'll haul it across a state line or send the title to a buddy across the country for a title-washin'? (This is illegal, btw.)
Noooooooooo no no no no no not if your state is one of the participating National Motor Vehicle Title Information System states.
This is an old map (2012). Green state, you're screwed. Try getting a lawyer. Yellow state, you might get away with it. Grey state, get while the get'n is good.
And that's IF your state has lax title laws to begin with. Most the grey and yellow took their time enrolling in NMVTIS because their title laws were bitches already.
My Ram is in this boat. Junked due to flood in Colorado (All flood damaged cars are junked, no flipping). Brought it home to Missouri and slept on the title. Now Missouri can see it's junk in CO, so it's junk in MO too.
