Went to Pick A Part (So. Cal) today. It was rather sad to see engines with
silica run through them and stickers attesting to such.
At the near by U - Pull Parts they had a plethora (hundreds) of "Clunker
Cars." There they had a sign stating they would "remove you from the yard"
if you attempted to remove drivetrain components (engine, trans, rear end
and even the driveshaft) from the clunker cars.
Ford Explorers seemed to be the most represented "clunker vehicle" there.
There must have been 50-75 of them. I glanced at the VIN for one. It was
under 10 years old and under 100,000 miles. Sad that a lot of decent 302
engines are hands-off!
Over on my (Turbo) Pinto side of life, a Sacramento woman is putting the
word out that she will buy Pinto's and is asking people NOT to sell them to
the wrecking yards. Yes, even the lowly Pinto needs to be rescued.
