Sad guess there was no way to save it short of coming up with $2500.00 . If the car was in my area I would have picked it up just for all the spare parts , as for the comments , hey put up the money and the car would be saved , it was the guys mothers wish the car be crushed , 2500 would have saved it , not much money .
Just sad as I hate seeing good solid cars scrapped , used to drive me crazy going to scrap yards and seeing cars in better shape there than some buckets o **** on the road , especially in the mid - late 70's with the gas crunch .
