General Metals in Tacoma, WA used to, once in a while, set out an older vehicle so the public could gather parts before they ran it thru the crusher. I doubt if they do it anymore but it was cool in the day.

I remember that car........

 

My dad and I got a 57 retractable with no engine in much in the same condition as that convertible for free about 20 years ago. It fell in half on the trailer. My Dad kept the 9" and we parted the rest out and made $400 in parts. Even though it was beyond repair there was still plenty of usable stuff left.

 

I'll take this one please

Hey Ester Eddie, keep an eye on the one on the right. Let us all know if it looks better every time you see it.(grin)

 

Lol I'm pretty sure it will be a cube next time I see it.I grabbed what I could off it.

 

Eddie! The Suburban!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If the cube starts playing music....... RUN! hehehe.

 

Damn that was Christine wasn't it.?

 

Might be........

 

Some recent finds:











And why you always want to watch your step, even on pavement:

 

I would rather worry about moose and bears .

 

Here's a pic of the late 60's/70's "art work" on the hood of that Fairlane. Took me a while to figure it out but it says Jimi Hendrix. I think it's the coolest part of the find. I'm the Dad.

I'm not a VW guy but I'm pretty sure that bus is worth a pile even in that condition!

 

Found this in a WV "salvage yard". Many Pontiacs, and even a Hudson or two. Going back this Fall and getting the emblems.

 

I am and you are right.

 

What a shame. We'd kill to find cars here in this shape!

 

The prices on old bus are freaken stupid!
we're doing a 70 crossover & the price are starting to climb also,

 

Looks to be a rare 4 door hardtop. I see a deluxe steering wheel, probably had power brakes too. What a shame.

 

Dude, that vw bus is worth some serious cash, no matter how rotted, that's like the Willys of the vw world

 

Saved...

 

I am as bad as these guys your showing here I guess. I get a call every week and I give the same answer... I'm gonna build them someday! I am now 67! ???

 

That combi (vw van) is worth enough to make it well worth the time to get it.
Wisconsin guys start out out with less.
