How do I sell my car as a parts only car?

I don't have my car pink slip, it has very little blue book value, it is not passing smog, and I want to sell the car as a parts only car. How do I complete this transaction legally and what dmv forms are required? Thanks!

1. Your local DMV will be able to answer this for you, and they will have the correct form for you to pass on to the next owner. Other than that, simply advertise the vehicle as parts car only- no title. Happy New Year!
2. Basically, to sell a car for any reason, you're going to have to have a title. You can sell parts of it without one but to get rid of the whole thing you'll need the title because that's the only way to prove it is yours and you don't owe anybody any money for it.
3. Without a clear title, you cannot legally sell it. If is simply a matter of having lost the title, you can get a form at the DMV that will allow you to sell it.
