The most common deep southern US corruption is not : "Do you got.."
The "do" would still bring the "have" ...but drop the do..and its fair game
in limited application; such as:
You got this?
You got it?
You got this one?
Y'all got it now ?
Got time for a beer? (Yes, I've got time for one.)
You got enough cash on you?
It would be considered unacceptable ( I have heard it, though, rarely) to
use Sergei's:
"Do you got a car?"
.....But acceptable short form informal to ask:
"You got a car?"
Similarly, not: "I got a car" , but "I've got a car"
Extreme 'country' usage, not heard since my youth, sometimes incorporated
the "do":
"Ain't got nar'un"
as short for "I do not got nary a one"
instead of "I don't have any(one) ."

O-:A good news for me! I expected such form to exist, just by analogy:
O-:"I own a car":"I got a car"
O-:"Do you own a car?":"Do you X a car?"
