This exactly why I hate going to wrecking yards!
Permalink  

Spotted this Grand Am at Seattle Pick 'n Pull, no rust car no while getting a defrost connector harness for my '86 Caprice (even these are drying up!). Last time I was here was 5 years ago and same thing, came across a mint '70 Bel Air 4-door good paint,400 SBC,discs,12 bolt etc. I tried to buy it complete, no dice, I was pretty distraught about that one and a '69 Caprice hideaway headlight coupe that got flattened also.IMG-20141130-00272.jpgEdmonds-20141130-00273.jpg

Here in Ontario it's almost impossible to buy a "whole" car from the wreckers!!! With our laws now, once it goes through the gate, It's "DONE" can't be SOLD!!!!! All these 'foundations' that are offering "CASH for your "junker" have provisions with the wrecker, & some will not allow the drive line to be sold either, car has to be crushed with "ALL" the parts still on them!!!!!

Ya thats brutal! My 68 wagon was bought from a wrecker and look how it turned out.When I bought that wagon the guy at the desk would only sell it in parts-so I called back and asked for the owner-he sold me the whole car.Maybe give that atry instead of the guy who works the desk

CHey Ray,

 

 I'm heading out to the bone yard to check out lip mouldings and rocker panels for you and also they just got in a '89 9C1 Caprice I'm going scrounge everything I can for my '86 .  Also the Grandam has this odd hood on it:
