I guess junkyard A-bodies are all gone now

They are getting sold on sites like craigslist before they make it to the yard. Just today I talked to a guy that bought a 75 dart sport for 500. He bought it to part it out, disk brakes, good interior, etc. The problem is he can make more for parts than someone will offer him for it. It would have been a great project car. He woudn't take 1000 for it cause he could make more off the parts. I have seen alot of local cars to me meet this fate. Better get you a car to build now before your paying 20,000 for a slant 6 project in 10 years.

I think it is a to each his own on the parting out thing and making money.... Honestly, I can do other things with my life skills and easily exceed what you can make parting most cars out that are found these days.... There will always be exceptions to the rule but let's face it in that if you get a great deal in today's world of old iron there is a good chance that parts are just fair to average.... That is how I see it anyhow....

I have a parts car now that I am going to limit what I remove and hopefully give someone a good deal and let them have a good solid car to work with and not break the bank while doing it.... Of course while I type that someone will probably come by and put the sales hat on ol' JW and get one past me..... Nah, ain't happening Lol....
