I told my son to apply at the picknpull but you have to be 18. He would be great and would learn a little espanol in the deal.
Maybe next summer.

The junk yards here won't sell hole cars eather in fact most won't let you in the yard at all so you rely on some minimum wage Yahoo with no clue to maybe find your parts who can't tell a g-body from a mustang and thinks a 93 Civic with a fart can in the bumper is fast and that same half wit decides what gets crushed! I've scrapped a lot of junk over the years and the worst hurt was coming off the scale empty and the truck going on had a yellow 70ish gto on the bed the left fender and door were missing I could see it had a motor and transmission in it and a factory spoiler on the deck lid black interior buckets console pmd wheels and a black and orange judge strip on the left quarter by the time I parked and went in the office and asked it was crushed the woman at the counter said we don't save anything at these prices. At the time cars were pawing $16.00 per 100 Still makes me sick thinking about it on my next trip that day I seen it stacked on a trailer with 5 other cars headed for the shredder
You'd think a tow truck guy would know a thing or two about cars. My old boss on L.I. stopped a 67 Shelby GT350 before it got to Gershow's and my brother was able to stop a guy with a 64 dual quad Riviera before it hit the gate. Shelby had no drivetrain but the all important data plate, Riv needed a tune up and battery and the linkage to one of the carbs. He drove that car for two years and sold it for 2500 bucks so he could buy a 66 Impala drag car.
It brings a tear to my eye. What a shame🙁
Saw this Agate Red 80 Grand AM in Memphis Pull a Part. They told me they guy drove the complete car in.
Damn, that's a shame. Why would someone take scrap iron price for a running car that was in good enough shape for someone to cut the whole floorpan out of?
