All through the late 1970's and 1980's I'd buy up old beat up Muscle Cars at scrap value when no one wanted them any more, quite a few were one owner cars being used as dog houses etc. and were beat like red haired stepchildren before being abandoned behind the house/garage .

We'd yank the radiator and battery then sell them for scrap value after filling them with the shop's output of scrap steel, IIRC we got .35 cents / pound back then .

We had a small advert in a local newspaper reading "I fix or BUY any car, VW's wanted" and boy howdy did I get some lulus .
