Occasionally I will go to an auction if nothing much is going on. I went to a farm auction today because one of the items listed was a 2 door Datsun. No model listed. It ended up being a 77 280Z with no motor or trans.

I do not have room for it or time for a project so I stuck around to see what it went for. No one bid on it starting at 50 dollars so he kept coming down until a guy with no front teeth raised his hand at 5 dollars. He probably will make it into some farm implement I can imagine.

It had no rust on fenders, quarters, doors, rockers. Just rusty underneath.

Too bad it was not a low serial number 240 I would have bought it.

You never know.

Parts, parts, parts, and you let them get a way-I bet you won't get a fishing or hunting invitation after that! Good used parts are getting harder to find. For $5, add $40, arrange a tow dolly from uhaul, tow it to your house for the afternoon, take off the doors, hood, fenders, interior, and store or ebay them. Call the recycler-we get $75, and the metal yard will come and get the remains. Even if you don't sell part one, you come out $30 ahead!

Wow, you get $75 for a stripped frame? Around here they take the car for free if its complete. If its missing as much as one body panel or the engine then I gotta pay for them to take the car away. Usually $50.

The metal recycler will come an pay cash for it-they come faster if you have more than 2.

Pretty much the same story here in SF Bay Area.
