I just checked today and was told that if it's recognizable as a car (that's what he said), it'd need a title. If it's broken down to it's components (doors, fenders, hood, trunk, roof) then doesn't need a title. I'm assuming a front clip falls in there, as I've hauled them in before. Title just needs to be signed by the title holder, not you.

In Maine, anything 16 years or older does not need a title.
