It is funny how the term junkyard no longer applies when the cars in them are desireable classics. When they were 3 or 4 year old wrecks, many people considered them to be junk. Time has a way of making them "classics" and therefore, we want them. You could have bought most for under $500 when they first hit the yard. Now you will spend more than that.

Obumma's brilliant cash for clunkers program wiped out a s#@t load of valuable parts cars. ( insert pissed emoticon here )

I haven't seen a Marlin for a long time, and it's in good shape

My opinion:
Cash For Clunkers was the Government example of...Give a man a fish, they eat for a day. TEACH a man to fish, he eats for the rest of his life.
The program resulted in a short term boost to the auto industry. VERY short.

I am kind of partial to the 65 Sport Fury and wouldn't mind the 55 Studebaker!

Really pissed me off when I found out a coworker cashed in an 80s supercharged Tbird, started thinking about all the other cars that got crushed. The car had no rust and her drive it daily, then he rolled in a civic.

Pour stuff in crankcase and start her up till shes locks,friend in dealership was told to do this several times. From what i understand all the kings and all the kings men couldn't get the engine to run again. Obummer

That 72 Satellite looks salvageable

I frequented a JY that got bulk CFC deliveries.

98% were 90's cars

Saddest part was a LOT of V8 Dakotas.

A manager at a local self serve yard told me that one of the conditions of the program was that the engines HAD to be destroyed.
How ******* stupid is that? Take a running car off of the road (While giving a $4500 credit for it) and destroy a running engine even though it could be used to keep another car working. With all of the push for recycling and such, it seems that keeping a car running would save more resources than to just junk it and build another.

Oh cash for clunkers! Kid I knew inhareted a decent little red express in very very nice shape but no a/c and no CD play or mp3 or ...... He took that truck in and got himself a brand new Korean pos he was so happy I rushed to the dealership to give them something in it's place but it was to late it was already sent to crusher I tracked that truck down and when I found it there was nothing left on it of value . Years later the pos he bought is broken ac doesn't work .... He says guess I should of kept the puck up truck ! I could of punched him ! I was driving my 74 charger at the time I had so many people tell me to get a new car for free just by giving them my junk ! I kept my car !

The whole scam was a payoff to the unions so they would be building new cars.

you better bring your checkbook AND your left testicle if you think you are going to haul any of my rusty mopars out of these woods

 

[f8-4life]

They may be classics but it still looks like a "junk" yard to me..

 

[The Rebel]

I will never understand why people let cars rust away out in a field...etc...
