    Vin removal/swapping is a felony here in the US, so you probably wont have much luck. There are a few states here where a Florida CD will allow you to get a title, but with the car in Canada, you might not be able to get it here to be inspected.

    Jack up suspension so the seat is ass-high, fit big snows & trailer hitch and enjoy on the ranch. Makes a great ice racer!

    Talk to @spaceballs i believe there is a way to register a salvage car in Florida, I was reading about this a while back, if it’s salvaged in Florida you can register only in another state but you cannot then reregister it the state it was salvaged in. Obviously some states are far more relaxed than others in doing this

    But isn't 'destruction' a much worse category than 'salvage'? Like purposeful damage was made to render car virtually unrestorable. Like should be done to all 'rolling coal diesels'? . . [exit stage left]
