Clunkers are so saaaaaaad.... :(

So I was at Holland's boneyard yesterday and I just could not believe the condition of most of the vehicles that were clunkered!!!! I saw 7-8 B-wagons, a few non-woodies, too! I saw TWO nice Fleetwoods, and I have NEVER seen one of those in the yard, ANY yard, before. I saw a couple nice caprices and roadmasters, too! And then there were the Explorers and Tahoes and full size trucks. You wanna talk about S-Blazers/Jimmy's/Bravadas? In the HUNDREDS! Nice Crown Vics and Town Cars. Some REALLY nice Caddy's, DeVilles and SeVilles. A few nice, NICE Bonnies (even saw a set of blue leather 12-ways that they never produced) and some nice FWD GM cars. Not to mention quite a few late 80's F bodies and Elkies! A handful of assorted import luxury, too. The majority of these were NICE vehicles. I'm still in awe. And I didn't even walk the Ford section of the lot. And that was ONE yard out of HOW MANY here in the states???? So sad.

What a sin.

I might take a run up there to see if there are any more 2 dr Tahoes or anything like that. My truck has rot along the whole bottom of the passengers quarter, maybe I could have them cut sections out to be used as patches or something?

There were at leat two Suburbans there a couple weeks ago.

It was the second car on a stack and I could only see the driver's seat and it appeared fairly worn. Some asshat gorrilla'd the backseat, too. :mad:

OK that was a different one. What is behind the back seat that people want? I've seen a few cars like that.

I am thinking Badass day! We as a club show up on a "All you can carry for $75 day" and leave nothing behind. You guys need to think outside the box. Turn that around .

Do they have days like that at Hollands? I'd be down...lol

Around here the only clunkers are Fords, S10 Blazers, and some random Jeeps. Still no gold mine for b-bodies down here.

Actually Fords, and Crysler anything, but especially jeeps and Dodge were clunckers when new. Don't even get me started.

Sorry Tom.
