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.

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

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.

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.

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.

[longhorn396]

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!

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!

[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.

[no moa]

No freaking way he will get $2500. $2k maybe. Although there is an a$$ for every seat. Always thought those, and the TTAs were awesome cars.
