How would a parent legally renounce paternity of an adult child that is his own child?

Not really. The child of two married individuals is legally considered to be the child of both spouses. If the child is beyond the age at which the parents have legal responsibility for him/her, the legality of paternity is almost entirely irrelevant. If is mostly just a social/family issue. The parent can refuse to see the child, refuse to speak to the child, etc.

The only remaining legal detail is writing the child out of the parents will, living will, etc., so that the child cannot make end-of-life decisions for the parent or inherit any of the parent's estate.

If you are buying it from the owner. You can buy cars. If somebody leaves something to somebody that they don't own because they sold it, there's no issue there. I leave you the city of New York in my will, it doesn't really matter. If you are trying to buy it from the person who is willed the car while the current owner is not dead, that's a problem because it's not their car.

The will doesn't matter a jot to you. You can buy it from the owner. Whether it's the current owner the person who got the car from the estate or anybody else who actually owns the car. Just being listed as property in a will, makes the will kind of old, it doesn't make the car unable to be sold (assuming its not tied up in the estate).
