Took a trip today to get some parts for some cars I have for sale , and caught these out of the corner of my eye , the guy says some of it is for sale , used to belong to his dad , but he passed , and his mom will sell when she hears the right numbers , I asked what the right numbers were , he said "I guess she'll know when she hears them"...lol well, here they are anyway , enjoy!!
The right numbers will come up when the scale at the scrap yard settles and you multiply it by the current price per ton. I'm not real picky but all I see here is SCRAP. Your milage may differ. Frank
im moving to michigan where 63 impala 2 dr's are scrap Maybe its just cause I like them, but to me that looks like a prime builder. Id give it a home.
Man , I have family in Michigan , I thought the salt on the roads was alot worse than to have enuf tin up there to scrap 2 dr hdt. '63 Chevys , but , I aint been there in a few years , guess I was wrong...who woulda knew...
Yea , I looked inside , and it has american flag curtains , a big peace sign painted on the dash , looks like a time capsule , man , could you imagine the stories that thing could tell?
If they were all restored, the bus is the most valuable out of that group. Maybe the Caddy a close second.
Yea she's been watching barret jackson alright. Normaly when the old man kicks the bucket the wife gives the crap away. In her case she"ll have a hard time doing that except with the caddy in the barn.
That 63 or earlier VW Kombi with the aftermarket trailer windows down the side might be the worthiest thing she has.
And in the rust belt people fight over the cars like that. The longer they sat still, the less dents on the stainless trim and the less wear on the parts that ARE still usable. Since real numbers for prices aren't out there yet, we can't tell if they are good deals or not. I might be takin' a road trip!
Thats a early VW bus, it looks like it dosen't have the big overhang of the roof at the windshield, maybe a early 50's model. The tailights have been replaced by bigger lights becauce these early busses had little bitty tailights, like a early 356 Porsche.
Unsavable junk even in Sweden? Sounds strange to me... Anything can be saved, its just a matter of work...
Only a couple there even worth thinking about, the Bus being one. The rest Fab32 is right, mostly scrap. If you got them for free and had the time you could strip what parts are left and sell them off, but most folks would never devote the labor to what it would take to turn a coin.
It's not an early '50s 'barn-door' bus, you're thinking of the ones where the rear window 'hatch' area doesn't open and the engine cover is extra tall hinging just below the body moulding and the spare tire sits directly above the engine. That bus is a late-50s early-'60s panel delivery with some windows cut into it. Unfortunately it's plenty rusty and coming apart at the seams, body cancer has killed this one.
That '63 is a sedan, not a hardtop, and I have never seen or heard of a 2 door sedan Impala(that doesn't mean they weren't made). Bel-Airs were the next step down in trim and features from the top of the line Impala, with the Biscayne being the stripper of the three. Less trim, etc.
They look like good projects to me. What kind of wagon is that in the last picture on the second post?
The bus looks like a first gen "Barn Door" (1949-1955) panel that got "customized". Post the pics of it over at TheSamba.com and watch 'em get all excited.
