shops and vendors

["Dick Benjamin" <DickB@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lowell's reaction is probably due to a California state regulation about
junked cars.   I know certain types of wrecking operations are not legally
permitted to sell a car once it has been reported as in their custody.  They
can sell any part, or pieces, but never a whole car, at risk of losing their
license to do business.

I have a friend who was until recently a licensed dismantler in California;
he used to be very careful not to put a car in his yard if he felt it was
worth saving - he had a separate storage facility for cars for resale, and
the licensing folks watched him like a hawk.
