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.
