Recommended Posts

I recently received information about this. I don't know anything more about it than the following:<P>========<P>Subject: SEMA Action Network Regulatory Alert - LAST CHANCE OPPORTUNITY FO R CARS ON CALIFORNIA SCRAPPAGE "DEATH ROW"<P><BR>CARB PROGRAM OFFERS HOBBYISTS LAST-CHANCE OPPORTUNITY FOR CARS ON SCRAPPAGE "DEATH ROW"<P>        A new California Air Resources Board (CARB) e-mail notification program provides consumers the opportunity to buy scrapped vehicles, or parts from those vehicles, before they are destroyed.<P>        The new e-mail program not only notifies interested parties of a vehicle's potential scrappage free of charge, it also provides a substantial waiting period before its destruction. If a person requests to see a scrapped vehicle, the period until the vehicle's destruction can be extended as much as one week. Previously, cars and trucks could be destroyed as soon as they were inspected and the necessary paperwork was processed, precluding any vehicle rescue or parts sales.<P>        "This automatic e-mail notification system represents a significant opportunity to hobbyists looking for specific vehicles and parts," said Frank Bohanan, SEMA technical consultant. "When combined with SEMA's success in limiting the types of parts which must be destroyed under these programs, this advance notice about vehicles destined for scrappage will help improve the availability of unique parts which would have otherwise been lost forever."<P>        The CARB e-mail program will automatically send a list of vehicles' make, model and year to interested parties, whenever a vehicle is scheduled to be received at a dismantler's facility. The e-mail message will include the dismantler's location as well as the time when the vehicle is scheduled to arrive at the dismantler.<P>To subscribe to this e-mail program, go to <A HREF="http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/avrp/emailnotification.htm " TARGET=_blank>http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/avrp/emailnotification.htm </A> <P>For more information about this program, contact Frank Bohanan at mailto:fstncln1@pacbell.net or Steve McDonald at mailto:stevemac@sema.org
