Hello all,
I have a vehicle that I won as a parts car for one of my cars from Copart, some parts I did sell of as well that I did not need. Now I'm pretty much left with just the shell of the vehicle.
It seems like scrap yards won't take the vehicle without a title, I do have the invoice and bill of sale from Copart but they still don't want it. Would there be any way to get a certificate of destruction or something? Honestly it would just be much easier for me to cut the vehicle into small pieces and throw it in my truck and haul it away but I don't know if they would still take it that way, I'm assuming it can't have any vins on it that way either.
Thank you for any info that anyone can give me, trying to do this legally.

You have to get a scrap/salvage title for it. Contact the vehicle crimes division of your local police force. Get them to sign a thing saying that it's not stolen, get a salvage title. Take it to scrap yard. I've done it on two parts cars, a detective comes out, checks the vin, runs it in the DB and you're good to go.
