Hi Art! Glad to see you still surfing the BB.
Yes, I still can find them but well scattered by using an application called Row 52.
I try to bounce between PNP's in Windsor Ca. and the one in Moss Landing as they are on the coast line where it stays cooler than in the valley of California most anytime.
I was shocked that a Sliver 87 with an Automatic was so intact but it was listed as move there on January 5th. It must be new to this areas system or was in another yard of which had a low demand for them.
Hard to tell how many people still want 240s. I have had several people talk to me about mine. They say they really miss the ones they had many years ago. The fever may still exist for those still inclined to tinker!
This car only had front end damage that bent both fenders and shoved the front bumper sideways a little. The grill work was all gone except for the left turn signal that was rather new and I got for the 1993 I have with a dull lens.
The interior was a Gray cloth that I had never seen before.
It's a lighter color twill material than the late ninetie cars.
All the glass was great but the windshield had rust around the bottom of it.
Speedo showed 145k but the trip was zeroed, so that means it probably quit on it own.
Several years ago, I took all the doors, its interior seats and pulled the whole center console with vents and the steering wheel. It was silver too and I don't even have a silver sedan.
My Sliver 78 GT coupe needs another paint job. I had it done once before with Imron single stage for $500.
No chance of that without another zero added and probably with lousy workmanship!
It's far cheaper to get complete whole components, if you don't have space for a whole car.
The idea for me is take it all as a package.
I was very tempted to take something, especially, after I found a spare key in the trunk that I left in the ignition switch.
Hopefully, it will tease someone else, like it did to me and get all of it!
Combinations open more than locks because things happening to align up on a holiday sale.
This was a 40-50% off for "tool kit" members.
Still you have to study "what is their retail gimmick pricing" plus recycling taxes or fees that will make this whole industry die with the combustion engines paraphernalia.
I have maxed out on the number of cars I want to keep on the road.
I have only purchased used cars that had no damage except for one 1984, from friend, with very minimal damage that I can "live with."
Then at an excellent price of "totaled" or a salvage price! 112k @$700 and fixed with a matching PNP $40 left rear door.
In my younger days I would have considered saving this car!
I fear that those days are all over and done for most of us Bricksters.
We will have to seek out "rolling" cars or older OWNERS who have parked them.
Got to get them before other charitable organizations snag or scoop them up through a recyclers free tow service!
Trust me, I would be tempted to even dress up like a kid, but I don't have exemption status with the IRS! (:-)
My parents used all of that tax credit, way back when I donated myself to the Navy! (:-)
Today some hangout until 26!
I'm Glad, I didn't acquire any parenting skills!
Imagine me, with humans as old as my cars and knowing, that my cars are simpler!
Phil
