I donated a car valued $2000 to an individual, I don't have 1098-c form because I didn't know I should have one, second it is an individual but I have a document stating that I have donated the car, with vin# and donee's information. Can I still claim this car on my tax return ?

A gift to an individual is not reported on a tax return.  You cannot make a charitable donation deduction when the gift is to an individual.
