Parts cars not show cars... Posted by Snowmobile [Email] (#686) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Snowmobile) on Thu, 5 Dec 2013 08:26:51 In Reply to: Not impressed..., dmz789qqq, Wed, 4 Dec 2013 14:01:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You don't park a show car out in a field for years on end... parts cars are much less glamourous, but they are essential to keeping older cars on the road. That place is a freaking gold mine for c900 owners. Some parts are indeed scrap from sitting for so long, but other parts, eg an AMM are valuable from cars like those because they are NLA, not successfully rebuildable, and have a large number of variants (units from different years are not all compatible, so you need the right part number)...
at this point, it would be almost criminal imho to scrap a c900 (or most of the cars there) without harvesting the parts, and certainly stupid from a financial perspective (in 10 minutes I can remove enough parts from a c900 to exceed the scrap value from one of those places that just crushes them as fast as they get them)...
Fortunately there is a junkyard near me that looks pretty much like that, but also with some newer cars, all european.
