How many of your personal cars ended up in junkyards?
Three of them that I know of/can think of:
* In '84, a '71 Vega that I put a 350/350 combo into. Car was "clean" (little rust), but the torque of the 350 must have been too much for it, as it got the point I couldn't close the doors on it. Sold it to a kid a couple towns over (Long Lake, MN), but I found the carcass out at French Lake Auto a couple/three years later.
* Immediately after that one, a '76 (or '77?) Granada we welded a 460/toploader combo into, on a bet, over the course of a couple drunken weekends. Rusty as hell, but with a 5.67 9" and a spool, it could pull the front tires...if you bounced it a couple times! Ended-up at Joe's Auto Sales (an all-Ford junkyard) down near Coates, MN after we got done beating the absolute **** out of it.
* About 4 years ago, a 2002 Expedition. Another MN vehicle that was rusty as hell. Drove it out to Barstow, CA, and on the way back the transmisison gave up the ghost. Made it to a town called Bluewater, NM, pulled off I-40, found a small gas stop, and a cop was in there. I asked him, "Know anyone who hauls away used cars?", and he gave me a number to the local tow operator. While waiting for him to arrive I rented a U-Haul and transferred all of my stuff into it. When the tow guy got there I told him I only wanted the tires and wheels (the tires were new), so he pulled the POS onto his flatbed, jacked it up, removed all 4 tires, and we put them in the back of the U-Haul. I asked him where I should send the Title, and he just looked at the rusty Expo, laughed, and said, "Don't worry about it!".
There's probably more, but these are the ones I'm certain about.
