Re: Car crushing in Montana
Hey old truck man.
Don't misunderstand me on what I posted earlier, I really don't care what you do with your stuff.. I have been doing old cars and parts for better than 30 years and yes I have also done it as a business for the past 15. I know what has worked and what works for me now and in the past but it is an ever changing world and I am always looking for new outlets and ways to market the stuff. If you are happy with the $650 or so it will bring for scrap by all means go for it but I enjoy stacking my $$ a bit higher.. To me it would be like eating a hamburger when what I really wanted was a big steak... |

Re: Car crushing in Montana
without a doubt looks to be a clean one, we don't find them around here in that shape very often.. 2 wheel drives are a tough sale around here, I never understood the mind set that ya need a 4wd 12 months out of the year but that seems to be the thinking around here..
3 months ago I seen a real real nice mid-late 70's 2 wheel drive top of the line model with the 2 tone and all the stainless trim separated of its motor and fed to the crusher.. It was a shame that truck was one owner garage kept fully loaded.. They never even pulled the ralley wheels. |

Re: Car crushing in Montana
Too bad. He said it was $200,000 in his pocket. He could have sold each car for $100 and made $350,000.

only that part of the collection was $200k. Before anyone else skims the article and thinks he sold all 3500 cars for $200k. |

Re: Car crushing in Montana
I just reread my previous post and the first thing that came to my mind was that I sound like a tree hugger trying to save the forests. Does that make me a car hugger?

Re: Car crushing in Montana
Around here, we get a whole $50-$75 per car at the scrapper. The yard I saved my parts trucks and my daughter's '46 International pickup from sold about 300 cars going back into the 40's for that price. The prices on the windshields........were $300-$2,000.

Not dissing you, just don't see those prices here. Problem locally is all these goobers watching Fast and Loud thinking their "project" will make me 10 or 12 grand profit if I flip it. So they price the stuff crazy high, and it eventually just sits and rusts away. |
Re: Car crushing in Montana
The local scrap guys around here pay $1.10 per hundred per for car bodys and you can leave the gas tank with a hole in it and 4 tires &wheels. that's what the average joe with one car will receive. mine are prepared gas tank removed tires & wheels removed and I sell a bulk load of three large or 4 small vehicles at a time on my gooseneck trailer. I broker a special deal and deliver When the portable Scrap processor is at the yard. We have two steel mills in the region that make products from scrap steel on is at Blytheville Ar and the other is at Newport Ar. In todays paper Mc Coys Scrap Processing Co. 635 S. 6th street Poplar Bluff Mo. PH 573-785-5725 (not where im currently selling mine) is paying any person off the street $11.00 per hundred for car bodys. For reasons that I have a special deal I cant divulge where I sell to. I don't have to sell and I will stockpile until the price is right and My buyer knows this fact. I don't just take my scrap and say here it is what are you going to pay for it. I actively market and know how much I can deliver.

Re: Car crushing in Montana
Around here, it's $190 per ton no matter what it is as long as a magnet sticks to it last time I checked. I was so pissed when my brother scrapped my '69 and '72 Pontiac LeMans when I shipped off to the army. They would have made excellent parts cars for my '68 GTO clone I used as a daily driver from 2011-2013. Got any late '60s, early '70s Pontiacs, Old Truck Man? I am in central Missouri.
