Default Unlock steering on parts car

I am looking at getting another parts car. He has the title and the car does not run main reason is there is no key. The car will need to be put on a trailer but need to be able to unlock the steering wheel to move it. Any ideas on how to unlock it without the key. Don't care what it takes

I'm thinking you've already considered asking a Jag Dealer to cut you a key using the Title as proof of ownership? They should have the key code on file somewhere using the VIN?

I think it would be wasted money since I will be taking the car apart anyways. I am sure that is not cheap. The car will never be started again

The ignition lock cylinder can be removed after the key is in position II.(if you have a key you can sell the column?)
You can attempt to destroy the column?

Use wheel dollies. Or disconnect the steering column at the rack, 1 bolt. Then you should be able to push the front wheels into position for moving the car.
