ggzilla Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Same here. They were paying $300/ton and many classic cars were crushed in the last two years. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 We have a cash for clunkers too. I tell people that the money for them won't make much difference in a few years but the car's parts could keep another one alive. It's a conspiracy to rid us of old car/parts so we have to buy new ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I want these tail lights. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Cash For Clunkers did NOT take any classic Datsuns, but only cars newer than 1984. $300/ton is what wrecking yards were paying for any car. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I miss spoke C for C may have been a US thing. Here there were drives to encourage people to bring in anything (any condition, even towed in) and get $2000 off a new car. Some were straight cash settlements. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 This is a 4 headlight datsun 520, likely a 67 or 68. We have lots of these over here, not as big of a following as the 521, but there are a lot more 521s over here than the 520. 1 Quote Link to comment
