Helping my MIL with tons of scrap

**csdude55** · 08-31-2021, 04:32 PM

Not a live auction, but we've posted them on the GoNC classifieds... there've been a LOT of looky-loos, but only sold one vehicle :-( Since it's up to me to meet the potential buyers at her house and do all of the leg work, I've been encouraging her to scrap them and get them all gone at once! LOL

I take it that I would do better to cut off the catalytic converter and sell them separately? Like, the rest of the car to an auto junkyard and the converter to the metal scrapyard?

I feel like the 50s/60s cars would be pretty valuable to a collector, but I'm not sure how to find such a collector! I've posted them on a few auction sites with no bids, but I worry that the distance and expense of hauling them out is a pretty big deterrent. I WISH that I had the time to rebuild one of them myself, that would be a fun project :-)

Do not sell the catalytic converters to any junk, metal, salvage yard until you have do more reading here on the forum. We have a buyers section, look at the top of each page and find the "scrap buyers & sellers". Many members do sell catalytic converters and will likely chime in.

There is at least one members who is listed in the scrap buyers & sellers section. I only recommend dealing with buyers on the forum that have recent feed back. When you look at their buyers page most list a preferred method of contacting them. Use their preferred method and you will get quicker responds. 73, Mike
