How do you get rid of a parts car?

[noaz240]

Hey guys. So I am getting a good deal on a parts car. Good enough that I may actually keep the parts car and trash the brick it was meant to be stripped for. So how do you guys get rid of the parts car? Will they take it in any condition?.. Assuming I strip this thing down = so no motor, tranny, interior, so on.... I'll post pics if anyone needs anything that I don't take... 82 245 GL.

Sawzall to convenient to lift size pieces, and then haul to the recycler in the back of the 245.

Use every part of the buffalo, er, parts car.

Or you could just call a tow truck, they will take it wheel-less usually.

Call the junk yard. They pick up within 72 hours and pay cash with a title.

They want at least 2 wheels here so they can tow it.

I'll have the title. It'll have wheels. Will they take it doorless, dash less, so on?

Cut it up into 1/4" bits , then disperse said bits into food, toilet, road, and so on. Problem solved.

Yes, but you'll probably only get $100 instead of @$250.
They will low ball you, so tell then $50 more than they offer.

Appreciate the input guys. Hopefully I'll get the 245 running quickly and meet the locals for a drive or gtg.

Ive turned a 760 parts car into a pile of boxes and a Motor and tranny on the floor with 1 door and all glass. I swapped the rear end out. I got a guy who drives bye every now and then and takes my excess metal off to be recycled .o

You can also take the car to a scrap yard. They pay per pound.

It's not a problem if you have a title.
Calling the cops on yourself on the other hand is a problem.

I take my junk to the recycle place.... They pay by the pound.... Make sure that your aluminum has no steel ect in it to get the best price for it. They will want the oil pan off the engine and off of automagic transmissions.

It's handy to have a friend with a truck and flat bed car trailer. I picked up a 940 parts car that was already stripped down to all but the rear axle (which is what I wanted). Paid $200 for the car. Brought it home, removed axle assembly right on the trailer, set car back down on the deck. Filled the empty hulk with whatever scrap metal I had laying around. Towed it to my local scrap yard and they paid me $239 for it after the weigh in with a $180 per ton rate. After topping off my friends truck for $35 I made $4 and have a G80 axle now to put into my car.

it was sarcasm...on the order of : " Cut it up into 1/4" bits , then disperse

I'll slink off now....suitably chastened....

My local yards won't come out if it's engineless. I just don't tell them, when they arrive, they say they won't pay for it, but haul it off anyway.

If I don't have a title, I just cut it in half and stuff the halves into dumpsters. An MG Midget will fit in a dumpster without cutting.

[noaz240]

Not sure how it works out here in the bay. Redwood is from out here, so I am pretty sure I can take his advice. It will have a motor, just the blown one, and it'll be in the back of the wagon.

Just call a junk yard.They will pay you some cash for the scrap.Any amount is better than nothing or having the carcass laying around.I recently scrapped a very rusty 262c.Most of the motor and tranny was with car.I removed a lot of items,as much as I could or wanted to store.When the guy came for the car he told me I should keep the bumpers,take off the doors,keep the hood,etc.They had already quoted me a price so it did not matter how much I took off ,the price was the price.The car stlll had 3 corona wheels.He siad I could take them,it didn't matter he would just raise the car off the ground,no problem.I left the wheels on the car.

Back before they were buying scrap steel I'd go toss it on the pile at Circosta metal.

The disassembly is days, cutting it up is just 3 or 4 hours depending on the size of the pieces.

Careful what you say Mick they want to believe there's an easy way.

Yep if it doesn't fit inside, pretty much anything I can get up there.
