Default Trying to start 1999 VDP parts car with no keys

Hello all,

I have a 1999 Vanden Plas with V8 that doesn't run. I don't actually know if it runs, It was abandoned with the alternator removed. I have the title (from the lender) but no keys (former owner in jail). I am wondering if there is any way to bypass the security system (or otherwise) to run the engine. I want to part out the car but I would like to know if the engine has any value.

If anyone has any insights or ideas on how to tackle this thing it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X308 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.
