Re: Certificate of Destruction title

I contacted the DMV earlier today and they said it cannot be registered or considered road worthy in MN. An inspection cant deem it road worthy either. I even asked if it would be possible to consider it a kit car and they said that wouldn't work either. The only way I can see around it would be to buy a car with a salvalge title and transfer parts over. I tried to get the DMV guy to tell me what is considered the "heart of the car" or what the title is on and he could not give me an answer. Real estate titles are for the land and I was hoping he would give me a list of parts that would be needed from a titled car to consider it that car.

What would be holding someone back from buying a frame and a salvage title from a junk yard and saying they swapped the parts over aside from the risk of getting caught?

The car is a good enough deal that it is worth looking into a little bit. I wish I could get a real answer of what would be needed from a salvage car to still consider it that car.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
