honestly...it was kinda hard to get rid of it. Ended up kinda calling a favor into a friend cause 2 junkyards declined buying it lol. Said it had no value to them and to take it to a metal recycler.

hows life treating ya?

 

It was a very nice car,


but, when nobody answers up to the shell or parts, you do what you do to get rid of the eye sore!!!!

 

Ya i've heard that its hard to get rid of a shell sometimes. But its cool they came and picked it up and paid you for it!

But I'm doin pretty good bud! How about your self!?

 

Yep, I was in the same boat once. Had a completely rust free 91 Firebird roller sitting in my yard, $300 OBO. Had a few emails from here and there, no one ever came and got it though. Steel was around $10/100 lbs. at the time, got $250 for scrapping the car.
I'm not a fan of third gen birds though, if it had been a Camaro I would have built it, not scrapped it.

 

true. at some point its almost not even worth trying to get it going. Like i mentioned. The car had no wiring in it. No brake lines, no fuel lines. No tank. Almost all panels were gone. No suspension. K member was gone. All interior was gone. It just wasnt worth even bothering. The title was only signed over to me so I would have had to drop about $100 bucks to get it fast titled in my name. How much could the rest have been worth? Some of the folks on here are acting like I let $1000 walk away from me.

Damn, I only got like $1400 for an entire complete 01 Z28 roller that had some mods on it also.

 

I'll post a pic tonight of what I'm sending to the scrap yard today. Yours is far from gutted compared to the 98' z28 I bought to part out. Bought it wrecked with plenty of aftermarket items with 32k miles for $2700. I just helped put the monster level 1 clutch in 600mi before the accident. So far I've sold $6100 in parts and still have another 2-3k in parts to sell. Not to mention that includes me KEEPING the 6spd, pedals, column, and driveshaft.

 

Junkyard? Last time I stripped a donor, I cut up the carcass
and put it in the trash cans over the course of a few weeks.
I did keep part of the frame for an engine cradle.

Of course I was hoarding sheet metal as well as mechanicals
at the time....

 

I woulda kept the sail panel.

 

Damn I could have used a DS 1/4 panel skin

sold a complete 99 Z to a guy who was supposed to bring me back the 1/4 but thats been months ago so Im sure it was just doing the head nod thing as part of the deal.

 

From this:


To this:



Now that's how you part out a car. And if I had atleast one person interested in the floor boards I would have cut them out too lol.

 

not bad of a strip job. But when i seen at first it just needed a harness. Then seen all the other stuff it needed. I then realized i prob parted it out aswell.

 

You didnt get that much, wink, wink!

 

I see a good wiper motor there!,

 

Lmao. I removed that, the windshield, the vin, and the aluminum from the AC box before I put it outside for my buddy to pick it up haha.

 

SHIIIIIIIIIITBALLS! I would have picked that bitch up if I saw the thread. I am looking for a roller to hack up right now.

 

lol at the people crying about the color.. who gives a **** what color it is?

Nice job OP, makes me want to keep any eye open to make some cash HACKING up some other clean roller to make a buck to **** off more historians.

 

Hey, still waiting for you to call me about that rear bumper you said you had

 

Oh look...the sail panel I need...just towed away. I would have give you $150 for the sail panel alone...
