Back 30 some years ago I brought quite a few cars from my local community that confiscated abandon vehicles thru a sealed bid auction format. They always handed me the DMV paperwork already needed filled out so I could get a legal title.

All of the gaskets, hoses, fuses, etc. will be rotten too. If you have a mechanic buddy, always take them and a strong flashlight with you!

The vehicle is sitting there for a reason, if it was so easy to sell or deal with the person would have something to think about...auctions are different thing,
