I'm not certain if you would need to junk out a vehicle without a title. Most if not all states have surety bonds where you can purchase a bond for 1.5 times what a vehicles is worth. Some states first inspect the vehicle and place a value on the vehicle.
My state will issue a surety bond if the vehicle's original title isn't from another state or if you have the title from another state. (if you already have the title from another state I don't see any reason for a bond title as you can normally have a titled transferred from one state to another)
Usually if a vehicle is worth 6k or less then the surety bond will be around a hundred dollars perhaps $125.00. Once you purchase the bond (which covers the state from any liabilities) The state issues a bond title where on the title it will say the title was issued through a surety bond.
This bond will stay with the title for a min. of three years. If no one makes a valid claim for the vehicle (which needs to be applied for through the DMV), you can apply to have the bond removed from the title.
One problem iftrying to get a bond title from Alaska is the vehicle needs to be in Alaska for it to be inspected in order to get a surety bond title from Alaska. Since the vehicle has no title It would need to be hauled via flat bed or flat towed (as a toad) up to Alaska which is over 2,400 miles traveling by road.
Or you could pay a fare and ferry it up to Alaska. That's how many people travel to Alaska without needed to go through Customs.
However time and and trouble to travel up to and back from Alaksa may not be worth the expense, since it an older B-Class that's in need of repairs.
There are other avenues to gain a title. I'm not certain how this works. A person whose father use to be a sheriff told me If no title is issued via the State he knows ways to get a title by first reporting the vehicle to the authorities as abandoned.
