If I re-paint my car...

If the vehicle is old enough, you don't even need a title to sell it (assuming it is paid off)...

Don't want to go there, but when we made street rods from the early Fords (B&C), DON'T toss the portion of the frame that has the VIN.... will cost a bundle to locate/buy another one...

I have to chime in on this one. Having worked for three different lenders, there is no bank on the planet that is going to allow anyone to sell a car and carry an owing balance. You may sell it for the remaimder of the loan, and anything above would go to you. But you can never sell a car for less than what is owed and continue to pay the loan. The vehicle is considered collateral, if you sell it for less than what is owed, the bank has no collateral. End of story.
