Surprised you had to pay. Around here, I post "free scrap metal" and you get bombarded with guys looking for a chance to run by and grab it... and that was after metal dropped to 6/7 cents a pound.

I still have some parts from this car listed on FB marketplace. One of the pics shows the body of the car. Yesterday I got a message from someone asking if I still have the car. I told him no, only what’s listed is left. It was the guy that owned it for 10 years before my coworker bought it and wrecked it. Poor guy was devastated that his first car was gone. I told him how rusted it was and that it was shot before the accident anyway.
He had dreams of buying it back to fix it, but had zero ability. He was the one that patched the rust holes with fiberglass, and scratched up all the moldings in the process. He also bypassed the headlight switch, to a switch in the console, rather than fixing it. Felt bad to crush him like that, but he had a big hand in sending the car where it went.

Sad but really the only special thing was the stock 350, shifter, wheels and badges. I still say if Olds had balls, a 403 would have went in this car factory and been one of the quickest in 79. You know a car is too far gone when a body guy won't fix it. This one makes my 88 look not so bad.
Damn right. I made out quite well on the car and got some nice parts for my Malibu.
