Is there any other way besides the obvious VIN plates to legally identify a car, say if it was abandoned, to the most recent owner? Thanks ---

I would think if it is a newer car, the PCM stores the VIN as well. Lots of serial numbers on various parts of the car as well. ---

What kind of car/year is it? What is the story behind this, like did you find this while hiking or something, or did someone dump it on your lawn or just curiosity? ---

Why not just dump it at a junk yard? With the price of metal skyrocketing I’m sure they’d give you something for it. ---

News flash - theres numbers all over vehicles built since 72, not obvious ones but they are there… you can call a scrap yard as long as it’s over 10 years old and worth less than 750(or 1200?? think it changed) and do abandon vehicle paper work. its either am mv35 or mv37.
