whatever you do, do not let him call a salvage person!!!!!!!!!!! they will probably scrap everything. a lot of good parts are there. my buddy just recently had a vw thing at a storage unit given to him to scrap. he got the car for free with a title to scrap, we ended up selling it on e-gag for $4500. do NOT sell or give anything away for free. it is worth something to someone. my buddy got $4500 for doing nothing but picking up a car to scrap. jeff --- On Tue, 9/7/10, Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: RE: When Old Car Guys Die???? > To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx > Date: Tuesday, September 7, 2010, 10:17 PM > A few years ago a buddy of mine - > Glenn - from the TDR truck club got brain cancer and passed > away in his 30s.
