Unhappy Sadly , It Is So

Not to say a " lot " but two or three every year , maybe more , unrusted but tatty originals in most cases , been sitting old man's cars abandoned after one too many no starts or the old person dies and no one bids on it as it's filthy...

you know the drill if you're in The Auto Trade...

Pisses me off a lot but I cannot save 'em all and I'm a Dieselhead anyways .

I just know and appreciate good , fast European flavor road rockets .

The really bad thing about most P-A-P yards is : if it's in the front near the fence , you can buy it but once in the rows , forget it ~ I've offered $2,000.00 ca$h for an oldie , more than they'll ever make off parts and scrap metal but no .

I see SL's , Corvettes , old Porsches , the list goes on .

Although I made money hand over fist when I ran a VW junkyard
it's a bear breaking up prefectly good automobiles .
