Junqueboi Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I moved to NC & left my car collection in a field in Alabama. There are approximately 145 vehicles out there & due to the fact that they are not on my land, I had to call a mobile car crusher.. This kills me since I never thought I'd leave Alabama...but I'll never be able to get them all up here. I have no time to strip these cars as I am taking vacation time just to go down there & make sure they don't crush "the keepers". The mobile crusher is going to be there in about a week to get rid of about 70-something of these cars. I'm keeping about 25 Fieros, along with the GTO/GS/Camaro stuff of course, but I think I'm going to let these Oldsmobiles go...so if you need anything off a:'76 Olds 98 4 door hardtop, '76 Cutlass Salon, '76 Cutlass Supreme (rough), '80 Omega 4-speed (FWD car), '88 Ciera, let me know. The '76 98 is complete & is red(!) with nice red velour interior. A small tree fell on the trunklid & messed up both rear quarters. The ignition module is missing from the 455 engine, otherwise it's complete & it may run. I never had time to mess with it. The '76 Salon has a busted windshield & the cover has blown off of it. The car has a perfect 350-4bbl engine & a bad transmission. The interior is maroon & was excellent. Buckets/console/power windows. the '76 Cutlass Supreme is a very rare factory 455 car but the body is shot, as I bought the car out of a scrapyard (how ironic) & they had already stacked a car on top of it. Drivetrain is complete though although I've never bothered to crank it.The Omega is a Brougham (front-wheel drive) & has the 4-speed transmission & most every option. It runs, but is rough. Ciera has perfect 2.5/auto drivetrain. Drive anywhere. No titles. If you want something, post a response with contact info... I will sell whatever off these cars for what the scrap value is although YOU will have to strip the cars. I will have a backhoe on the premises to pull engines, turn cars over, etc. Any engine will cost you about $75.00 if that gives you an idea. If you want interior stuff, figure about $25 for a complete interior...etc. Little stuff...consider it free, but you have to come & get it. Location is Nauvoo, Alabama.There are of course other GM cars: '69 Caprice 396 coupe (hidden headlights) -- body only. '69 Impala coupe body, Two '70 LeSabres - one drives & has perfect 350-4 engine. '64 Electra w/401 complete (bad water pump) & new FWD stuff. Most don't have titles: some do. Thought I'd throw it out there.Sorry, I have no pictures.

Pontiac59 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Nothing like trying each one on eBay for a week before just giving up and scrapping them. If you don't seperate the keeper cars, or supervise every minute, they'll crush whatever they come to, so be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted m Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 YEP! That's true. Years ago,I had a job at a salvage yard.Of course,I had a couple of personal cars parked there,off to the side.The crusher came in the week I was on vacation. Nothing like coming back from a vacation to find your '70 Pontiac GTO 455 4spd ragtop and '75 Cutlass 442 bigblock car GONE! Titles were not in my name so,guess what? SOL.

Junqueboi Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Well, I'm back in NC -- sorry Richard, I missed your response (no computers where I was at). They delivered the loaders & crusher last Friday, & I arrived back in NC two days ago. I was worried about them crushing too much, but the guys actually let me use their loader over the weekend so I moved all the vehicles into one area so there would be no misunderstanding. I was told to spray-paint an "X" on each vehicle that I wanted gone. They ended up crushing & hauling off 97 cars in less than two days -- they started Monday afternoon & finished Tuesday evening. I was sort of glad I wasn't there to witness it. I actually drove some of the cars (FWD stuff) up to the "scrap pile", removed the battery, & went & got another one. It was not fun... At least it gives the remaining 60-something vehicles a better chance of being sold/restored/driven/etc. Sorry to hear about the GTO & 442. That sort of stuff makes my whole body hurt.
