SakoTGrimes Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Looking for an EA82 radiator yesterday and I see an early 80s GL just sitting there without any cars piled on top of it. I go to look while the yard guy is pulling my new radiator and the car is way too nice to be junked! approx. 224K miles, dual range 4 speed, manual windows, very nice tan paint (considering it's 20 years old), only a few dents, not missing and body panels. I tried to start it but the key wouldn't move? Engine looked fine, everything else looked fine to me. I have no idea why such a vehicle would be in a yard. Located at Speedway auto wrecking with the pink/purple Dodge van out front on Vilas road in Central Point, OR. Somebody save it! I also found out where the late 70s 4WD woody wagon ended up... about 100M away at Action Auto U-Pull-It. (hasn't been cut up yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 I can't believe it...... I jsut went back there to see if I could get it...... they crushed it. To "make room" for 1981 Ford LTDs with no usable parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 So they crushed a car that could have been resurrected to a daily driver, in favor of a american boat of a car that was probably worn out roughly 15 years ago..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 OK, hear is what we do: Matt, Bob, Adam, and any one in the valley reading this, we all need to go to Speedway Wrecking one @ a time and ask about the Subaru wagon we need parts off of. This will teach them that they can make ALOT more off of a vintage Subaru than any old POS Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Do they have an email address or 800#? I'm always looking for new yards to get parts from.
