tried to save scamp from crusher
I was told by a large wrecking yard that in the state of Georgia the wrecking yard would have to be registered as a used car dealer to allow you to buy whole cars.
But I can say that I have bought a whole car from a smaller wrecking yard/junk yard and, in Georgia, all you need on a car older than 1986 is a bill of sale to register it so it can be done. Maybe the larger yard just would rather crush it than hassle with it.
I even asked Pull-A-part to sell me the car as 3000 pounds of scrap metal. They still said no.
Nothing hurts worse than seeing a good car get scrapped.
