| I've got that 89 Caprice sitting in my driveway making it look like the Cross Bronx Expressway in the 1980s. lol I want to call and have someone take the car away, but wanted to see if anyone knows a place that they've used who generally gives a good price for it. I left a guy a message earlier about it, there are just too many people on craigslist placing ads for this. It's a heavy car, the only big things off of it are the bumpers, header and tail panels, and the radiator, I figure it's worth at least 200 in scrap considering it still has the drivetrain in it as well as the GM cat converter, I also have some other scrap body panels to unload along with it... | |

| Put up a CL add saying you will sell it to best offerer who can pick it up. I bet you get $50-$100 and it's gone in a couple days. _________________ 1996 Impala SS - 45K original miles - 5.3 LS swap - Brand new Bilsteins...WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

I wouldnt be surprised to see more like 150-200 for a comlete car w/cat.. I did thius a few months ago with one of my Jetta's, and a guy came a few hours later with 125.00 in hand(and a jetta doesnt weigh sh!t) | |

I had a CL ad up, but I kept getting clowns who couldn't even form a sentence clogging my email up. I'll probably just post it again. This car is heavy and I even have other body panels to go w/it, so I figure I should have at least 200 coming from it. At this point I don't care though, it's totally in the way! LOL | |

| I know the GN's had them, but I dunno, I think the car shifted okay but I don't think it's worth the trouble of yanking out of the car. I'd rather start working on my truck where this car is parked right now...haha | |
