Prob not and that big of a collection would take years to disperse.
I don't think the parts cars are coming in as often as he would lead us to believe.
Too many people looking for these cars now. Supply is getting thin and demand is stronger than ever.

Looks like most of the cars in that yard are oddball stuff with small markets. You'd have to have insane pricing on trim and parts just to recover your initial investment, much less turn a profit.
I've looked at a few cars here lately, not mainstream stuff, some 4 doors, lots of rust, and people have the same mentality here. They saw a fixed up one on the internet goin' for some outrageous asking price (that they most likely won't get in this economy) so they think their junk is worth a bunch too. :noway: My son has $3500 to spend towards his next car, and I doubt he's going to find anything worth building with that money around here. :sad: FWIW, here's the Firebird as bought for $1800, which nobody else looked at when my buddy put it in the paper. That's what I'm talkin' about needin' to find again. :yes:

Good, actually. I've been busy. Got the last patch in last week, fender with someone else's bodywork in the past didn't want to line up with the new rust free door's body line, so it got cut and moved. Looking forward to having some paint on it by spring. :yes:
