Strip it out, race car, not even a VIN tag, just a cage and 'glas 
buckets, harness, sponsor decals and a rumping engine, GT-1...   sign 
a disclaimer quick and easy, bill of sale from the dealership to 
prove ownership only, and cut NO title.


Might be a way to pick up a nice "current" race car body...


...or a parts car.

Damn, *anything* but arbitrarily crushing all those cars.   Likewise 
the 'Vettes, make nice race cars I bet.   And no rust worries... ;)
