YES!!!!!! Whoever owns and is running that yard has a BIG Problem!!
Why not list 5 of those bodies-shells each week? Start with the good one's. Start with the Chargers? Start with the 68-71 B bodies? List the E bodies? Start somewhere!
Drag them out and put them in a place where they can be presented properly.
They are all just going to get crushed in the end. Why not save them. Such a waist.
It stated a lot of the matching number engines and transmissions are in the buildings. Why not match them up with the bodies?
Sell the bodies-shells for a reasonable amount instead of letting them get sold for scrap.
Apparently you have never met Larry. He raced pro stock back in the day, and even had an 81 Imperial pro stock car and recently found it and bought it back. He goes way back, and the best yard on the planet...
Jim, I agree, Larry was quite a guy, but it also makes sense to start sending the cars off to people that will love and care for them rather then trying to keep it all together for one big sale. He has been trying for the big sale for a few years, and it appears that may not happen. If someone may be interested in buying the entire lot, seeing a few get sold off might put a fire under them to get moving.
If bad comes to worse, and they do end up getting recycled, at least some will get into good hands before the end comes. If a guy truly loves the cars, a fire sale would be a much better outcome then seeing them all as pancakes. Fire sale prices would still pay better then scrap weight, the the stuff could live on rather then become part of a dam in China. Ultimately, the guy holding the parts is the guy making the decision (or his kids after the fact). Gene
