1972 Dart I picked up for a parts for myself
I don't think that anyone should be mad at a guy that parts out cars to help save other cars. Wrecking yards have been doing that for a hundred years.
I do it.
May of last year, I got a call from a Sacramento car buddy....
"You know of anyone that wants a '70 Polara? A guy just wants it out of his shop for what he paid".
I asked about it on FCBO and nobody wanted it.
The interior was mostly stripped. It had a rusty roof and had rust in other places. It ran but had a dead transmission. I bought it for $250 and parted it out. The 383 and radiator went to FABO member Halfafish. The axle was cut down and sold to another FABO member. The wheels and tires are on my project Charger:
I sold the disc brakes and other stuff at a swap meet.
What I did NOT do was buy a reasonably clean and sort-of desirable car, start a thread about it with pictures and write about how I'm going to chop it up.
See the difference?
I wish you no ill will, I just wish that you displayed more tact and sense in how you handled the matter.
