    Where is it? I will go for it..... If all its gonna take me is a hour to load it on the trailer and under 20 bucks in fuel, then game on. Free money. I didnt invested almsot 5 grand in my rig to let it sit. Money is money.

    I figure that truck weighed 3-4000# from the factory. Now they've torn into it. No front end, no rear end. Let's be generous here and call it 3000#. That's $22.50 worth of shred in my area.

    So if starting your truck, driving there, loading up "for an hour", driving to the yard, unloading, driving home, and spending $20 in fuel is worth $2.50 of " free money" to you....you're a better man than me.

    Good luck out there.

    Not around here. Its currently .045c lb. So it would be at your rough guess of 3k.....about 100-125 cash. Sounds good to me. This was last week price, so dont if it went up, stayed, or lowered this week.

    So your telling me you wouldnt go pick up a 125 cash off the streets????? ****, if it was close. It would be already on my truck.

    Two just came into a new contact. He has a reputable scrap yard and will buy anything even without a title. So going to fetch a couple this week. I have a way to run the vin for free to check if stolen or lien. Then free game.

    https://www.nicb.org/theft_and_fraud_awareness/vincheck

    Note these vehicles without titles abonded on floreclosed properites. So I do egt paperwork from the bank, stating their possesion and for me to remove. I dont charge them, they just give them to me. One hand washes the other. Niow I got the new contact, gonna be busy. I see a wrecker in my future.

    This one here free, no title. Guy was cutting it up and asked for my help, i refused. Not worth my time to help for half. 6 months later told me to come and get it. Made me 150 with 20 gas incurred and 20 to the helper. The drive train is still outside as I will make 500 of the heads and scrap the rest. Dont feel comfortable selling the engine as running, even know it supposedly did run and does have compression.. Amazingly cats was still there. Ony had the 2 main cats, not the 2 pre cats. Guy so silly, he tried to cut bell of trans with sawzall.




    Bank foreclosure possesion. Cat was empty and got ripped off getting dragged on trailer. Sat in yard since 96. I saw no value in parts being a 85 or 86 so let it go in one chunk. Normally i would pull drivetrain for cores and the rad. And some parts for online sale, but chose not to due to 15 degree weather. Note i let it fly with the alloy wheels due to getting 50 knock off the car without. Plus then i dont have to pay 5 bucks for tire disposal. so let it go in one piece with alloy wheels.

    Paid 105....cost me 15 bucks between helper and gas to fetch. Was one mile from my house.

    So ya, send all the free cars you want within a hour of my house near scranton, pa lol
