tried to save scamp from crusher

It's a shame that those heartless bastards would do that. Most will sell you whatever you want but some you just can't convince for some reason. I don't want to hijack this post but I managed to save a pretty rare A-body one day by shear luck. I was going to a local wrecking yard and couldn't find a parking place anywhere close so I had to drive around the block on a side street to park. I then cut through an adjacent yard to take a shortcut back to the main street. In that adjacent yard there was a line of cars waiting for the crusher and the loader was busy doing just that. I looked down the line and couldn't believe my eyes! 3rd in line to be smashed was a '68 Barracuda Fastback. I got the loader operators attention and told him to leave that one alone and that I was going to talk with his boss about buying the car. I did just that and got it for $200.00 (this was quite a few years ago!). I then went back to inspect what I had just bought and found on closer inspection that it was a 383 Formula S 4 speed car! I hauled it to work and found that it ran and drove too! It just amazes me what some people will scrap. The other side of the coin is that some people will put 1000's into restoring a rusted out Yugo so go figure....
