seriously why? You can't try to get something like that from the yard?

[REVNORR82]

Once its in the yard we can't touch the car some one got injured taking a part off so no more parts or anything

I remember maybe 8-9 years ago being at a local city and county vehicle auction (for towaways, etc) and a 74ish 455 TA went for like 400-500$. Not a clean one by any means, but a solid running car. Dont see those anymore, especially for that price. WIsh I had gotten it.

I can remember Dempsey's junk yard in Florida back in 89. They had tons of 69 Camaro's just waiting to be picked or crushed. What a shame. To go back in time....

and do it again! fuck that was fun.

Why would anyone scrap a 1974 SD-455 4 speed Trans Am ? Yes, it may have been rough but was it rebuildable ? It sounds like a donor car that was used up. I would have saved the frame and Radiator Support just in case someone wanted to rebuild it in the future. I think with those two items you can order aftermarket parts from Year One and rebuild the entire car. Oh Well, like Queen once sang, " Another one bites the dust " : drama:

The car would have been great doaner car full interior and drive train the body was shot but the 500 dollars he got from scrap was a waste he could have tripled his money parting the car out.

Probably someone who had the car left to them and had no idea what it was and saw it as an old gas guzzling rust bucket, not as the classic muscle we all see just waiting to be revitalized.

It's a crying shame. For 500 dollars REVNORR82 should have bought it. Put that bad boy on Ebay and you have some real dollars. I think, without looking at it and with the SD-455 and Muncie trans and 12 bolt rear you shoud get 4 to 5 thousand. This could have been the lottery for REVNORR82. Make 10 times your investment in 7 days.

hell i would have just took the motor and trans

[REVNORR82]

Like I said before I can't do anything with the cars if I could have I would have but if I take parts I get fired and we can't buy cars that are in the yard.

That is a stupid rule. You can tell them I said so too.

[2002ssslp]

That T/A crushed would not even yield 500 dollars in scrap unless they part it out.

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

A lot worse happened in that cash for clunkers bullshit...that was an outright slaughter

If I worked at a junkyard, and that rule was in place, I would be plenty pissed. Like the saying goes: "One man's junk is another man's treasure."

Have a buddy buy it for you. Problem solved. Then the buddy can sell it to you for a buck.
