Burn it and get the insurance money!!! Or have a scrap yard come and get it and get 50 bucks. Make sure to tell them it doesn't have any wheels though so they can bring a flat bed out.

look in the pennysaver, or in the classified under cars wanted. that's where you'll find the local guys that will buy cars directly from you to scrap. if it's just a shell with no suspension or drivetrain don't expect much if anything. Probably get someone to come get it out of your yard and just not charge you for hauling it. I had to call like 4 places one time and just didn't tell the last one it was only a gutted shell, he was pissed when he came to pick it up.
The most return of course would be to find a trailer you can borrow and drag it to the local scrap yard. look in the yellow pages for automobile recycling to find scrap yards. They'll give you a couple bucks more (cutting out the middle man) but once again if it's just a shell you won't get much so it's not really worth the work. If you do haul it yourself make sure to pack as much heavy ---- in the trunk just dont make it obvious its just random junk. local place will dock you for used tires and ---- so I throw em in the trunk and break the key off in the lock, adds weight and gets rid of garbage. got rid of losts of broken windshields and old carpets that way

pay 3 friends with trucks to scatter bits of the car throughout an area. report it stolen, and that you were going to scrap it, and it came up mia. do at your own risk, guy across the hill from me torched his own car and got nailed for arson, reported it stolen yet it never left his driveway.
