Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Crusher Alert/1000+ cars/Georgia

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A Flordia fellow just called me and said that the guy he talked to at the salvage yard 
this morning 'wants to sell everything' bu t'not interested in parting out cars' as the 
Flordia fellow was looking for some disc brake calipers and what not single piston Kelsey 
Hayes stuff for his 69 AMX, not the Bendix crap. But he said while fellow on phont 
(owner?) was nice he also indicated he wanted to sell everything, possibly as a lot. I 
mentioned to him the big junkyard a few years ago that was for sale I think in Vermont for 
$1.5 million, I don't think it ever sold and believe that the owners ended up simply 
crushing everythint so they could sell property empty.
