... I see these old rusted, cancer ridden, decrepit, sickly cars and or trucks.... And all I see is beauty!

« Reply #4 on: July 21, 2008 12:58 am »
I really feel bad because i used to throw these away with a flaw in them

54 chev w double grill bullets, had dent in rocker where  i drunkenly drove it up a guy wire
53 chev w olds, had bad hydro
47 chev sedan just tortured it to death
51 chev someone give me nice car
49 olds coupe with bad motor
56 ford convertable, parents sold it when i went to Nam
model A 31 coupe, drove and I thought it was junk
63 impala with a dent in fender had a 400SBC
66 impala convert
55 chev pickup series 2 had a need of door adj
and i killed about 7 tri five chevs and about 6 chevells for stock car raceing
and tons more and now I really regret it lots of that stuff was $25 cars except the model A coupe was $7 when I was in high school

and the Iron is going quick at $600 a car   rumored crushing price, just took a ride past Twin Valley and they got a scale and loads of iron waiting to be hauled in tomorrow

   Too bad the all mighty dollar is more important than saving some heritage.  I know you can't save 'em all but I see a lot going through my town that I wouldn't scrap out.

« Reply #8 on: July 22, 2008 1:24 am »
the  boats were just loaded and went to china a month ago aprox, their smelters  are shut down for to keep polution down for the Olimpics games and visiters
so later this fall the boats will be back for another load and prices will go up until they fill the boat and after it leaves  prices plumet as the crushers have to pay out of pocket untill they can sell for the next boat load
thats the story we got from a professional scrapper
