Most states that I've dealt with (as an insurance adjuster handling total losses and thus title transfers from all over the country) are happy to do a simple title flip. Basically it is a legal transaction selling the car from one person to another. So long as you make clear that it is not roadworthy and will not be driven, you will not have to get plates or insurance MOST LIKELY.
You may also find that the DMV will not allow a person to simply give the car to you. You may wind up having to pay $5 or something silly. The laws can be very wierd.
