junkyard didnt have my part, but...

[69heavychevy]

so i went to the local junkyard looking for some parts for my 69. didnt actually find anything, not even a single one of our year trucks. anyways on the way out a tow truck had just pulled in and was dropping off this "junk" car....











the standard going rate for early model junk cars around here is about $100-300. on the bright side the guy running the junkyard says hes going to sell for $1500+ttl...

mmm GN yum, hows the interior?

[Shaun1162]

I'd be all over that for $1500!

[69heavychevy]

interior was ok everything was pretty much there, would need new upholstery for sure though, car was straight and looked pretty solid

Damn,, not everyday you see a GN being hauled into a junkyard.

[Grimpala]

Where is that at?? I will buy it sight unseen for $1500

Know what sucks? People who have no appreciation for the stuff that I value. What is hard to come by for me, is easily trashed by others who just don't care. How they end up with such a vehicle, just so they can ultimately trash it, is something I haven't learned how to accept. You'd think, after 63 birthdays, at least 61 of them with me being a bonafide car nut, I'd be able to understand.

Interestingly enough, though, a GNX was actually saved from being crushed by the maven of car-hating herself, nancy pelosi. Talk about hipocrisy, though I'm glad it was saved.

I agree. It's hard to see a car like this in the condition it's in. I know everyone doesn't have the same mentality as we do towards cars, but this isn't just some run of the mill beater car. Hopefully it finds it's way to a better home, and continues to run the roads!

Save that car! I will buy it so it doesn't get destroyed.

[franky69c10]

Damn 1500 I would b all over that 4 that price

run the plate,
it's more than likely a car that was impounded, and some troop is gonna come home to it missing

[69heavychevy]

if i had the cash to throw around i've would of bought right then and there as well, but sadly its a deal i'll have to pass up. for those who are truly interested, the car is at the pick and pull off loop 12 and fontage rd.

[69heavychevy]

the plate is the design the state had in the early 90's i believe, so more than likely the car was just sitting somewhere for the past 15 years. i really hope someone comes across this post and decides to saves that car and at the same time gets a heck of a deal.

Between the broken housing on the steering column and the jimmied trunk lock, I'd say theft recovery.

Hope someone snags it before it gets picked over..getting to be a pretty rare car now.

My thoughts exactly. Insurance paid out and had it hauled to the yard. That's the only reasonble explanation for it being there.

I made the mistake of trying to run light-to-light with one of those one time. Talk about embarassing!!!

[longhorn396]

Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allengator]

PLEASE someone buy it b4 I do... I need to spend that $$$ on my truck!!!!

[longhorn396]

thats a 20k+ car when its even just decent. again BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TCS7]

When the junkyard guy said $1500, I'd have said "who do i make the check out to?". No way in HE**, I'd walk away from that!

[4X4GMC1972]

Called. The price is $2500 now. They aren't going to crush it.

[Jonboy]

I was in at $1500. $2500 is a little rich. My WH1 car is a lot nicer than that one, and it is going to be parts soon.
