I had a traumatic (for me) experience a couple of years back at my local pick 'n pull. It's in central WI, ~40 mi north of Madison and it's where I sent two largely decrepit C900S's (an 88 5 spd sans transmission but with all rust and a '93 sans motor but with trashed interior and body damage) after creating the FrankenSaab. I had need of an extra pair of rims to enable winter/summer rotation and thought that the boneyard where I left the '93 would be the best place to look.
It's a classic rural midwest auto "salvage" operation, complete with gap-toothed yokels and a couple of mangy-looking dogs. I asked if I might be able to walk back a grab the front wheels from the '93 that had taken residence there about 6 months previous. After some moments of deep thought one of the fellows said "Nope, not happenin'."
I asked "Crap, did someone else already snag them?"
He shook his head "no" and then crossed one arm horizontally across his chest then the other at about his waist. He proceeded to pantomime the actions of a crusher and, honestly, I think I threw-up in my mouth just a little bit. I didn't see that coming whatsoever and it made me have a sad.
Bottom line-- time is passing, rust and the crushers never sleep, so get (or salvage) those C900 parts while you still can.
