but haps you still didn't reply to what BlueZee28 posted im curious of what you have to say.

 

Well done. I received those items when I purchased my car, I have no idea where the PO got them. I've got a ton more in the attic if you're interested. A valiant effort, nonetheless.

I don't have a problem with people parting cars, again, read the thread(post #161). I do have a problem with people parting cars that appear to be fixable.

 

*facepalm* Cars that have no titles, were sitting left to die aren't fixable if your looking to have a low budget to fix it or make a profit.

 

Profit?

 

Like fixing whats wrong with it such as patching rust getting it running and so on. Then putting it in primer and selling it to make cash.

 

and i think that sums up the entire thread, thank you haps

couldnt have said it better myself

"I don't have a problem with people parting cars, again, read the thread(post #161). I do have a problem with people parting cars that appear to be fixable."

the end, nothing more nothing less. where starting to beat a dead horse

 

Trying to have the last word? keyword "appear" in that statement too

 

10-4 Rich, I'm out.

 

OWNED.

 

I've ripped apart a few Camaro's for my own gain, they went with lots of parts many would love to have, solid cars with little rust and titles. Point is, there are people who just scrap them, pick parts and scrap them or take them apart and sell the parts to people that need/ can't find them. So, which one of these guys would you like to find the next cheap/ free 3rd gen sitting around? One of them WILL be the next to find one because I doubt anyone on this thread is up to a rescue mission.

 

i like how haps said im out because he knows he is out numbered and lost. And got owned by BlueZee28. I think i should sum up why he parts them out. First off the cars he buys to part out have no title. Just because it still has factory paint doesn't mean its a easy fix. The cars probably have rotted floors, the frame rails are most likely starting to rot and the motor will need some love. Sitting outside 8 times out of 10 some critter has been living in it. If he didn't save the cars they would rot to death and whats left will be ruined. The cars may look good but once you start tearing it apart its a mess. Like i said before to fix the car you will be spending more than its worth. No title and alot of rust isn't "so easy". For example he buys a 400 dollar camaro has 2 nice doors 300 for both. The hood has 1 ding in it 100 bucks. Theres what he paid for it right there. 1 good fender 40 bucks he is already making a profit and saving another car!

 

just somthing for everyone to try......get on your local craigslist....type in minimum of 100 and maximum of whatever your comfortable spending.....you will be surprised how many camaros you will find at any given minute that are affordable...either for parts or a project....

 

this thread has gotten out of hand.....

 

 

I've read somewhere that the mods don't like people pointing out the need for a lock, contact them for it, read the rules! Not that i want it locked, but the mods don't need your help in making decisions. marokid, are you doing it out of your house? Where do you keep all the parts!? If the money's that good maybe you can build a storage building and expand as you go, if you don't already have one lol. I know you've already thought of it, just trying to get this thread going in a positive direction. So, what are your plans for the future of your "butcher shop" LMAO.

 

the profit from the camaros ive had so far went back into the camaros i either still drive daily or the ones i fixed and sold.....now my expenses have changed courses in a good and bad way.....they are funding my way through college and so far i already have my first 2 years payed off through parting cars and saving the money plus various scholarships.....im taking a business path in entreprenuership and plan to open something of the nature of hawks sometime in the next 5 years..hhere locally in dayton...right now its just an idea...but im on the right track ya know? and as far as where the parts are kept....thats why i only keep the cars a max of 4 days if i part them....i keep one car in the garage with all the interior parts or weather sensitive parts....anything else stays behind the garage neatly organized in sections...and i usually have 2 parts cars at a time but constantly have to hury and strip them so i can keep my valuable driveway space hha...and then ill keep my dd towards the end of the driveway etc....haha seems like a lot for my small driveway but i make it work

 

Can we get a pic of the rusted out floors? Either way, if I were closer I WOULD buy it, if the price was reasonable. Also, whats up with the front bumper on that crazy green Camaro? It appears to have sharper lines than other bumpers, maybe it's just the angle, but I like it!

 

I searched my local craigslist and all I found were a dozen cheap F-bodies, but not one of them said they had title issues.

I find it hard to believe that Dayton, OH has a seemingly unending supply of cheap thirdgens, not one of which has a title.

 

can we get more pics of this whole car? im still really interested in it and if its reasonable maybe we can work something out since im kinda close.

 

Five pages in less then five days. Is that a record?

 

It just depends on where you're at, up there I can imagine there are a lot of rusted out cars due to the the salts on the road and people look at these cars as cheap disposable transportation during a certain season. I'm sure they get really cheap in the winter! I don't know about other states, but here in Texas getting a lost title is pretty easy if you're name is on the title. Last time I bought a car with no title I just had the owner apply for a duplicate, I paid the fee (didn't cost much) and a week later we had a title to finish the deal. That's only if the owner is willing to do it though, some people can be ****** and want to drive up the price once they have a title. Get the deal in writing and if they don't follow through, sue their butts!!

 

ill get more pix when im back in town....which camaro has the super straight bumper? i had one with aftermarket fiberglass rear bumper...and nose as well as aftermarket fiberglass ground effects thats probably the one your looking at.....and puma your location says japan......i highly doubt theres a large amount of third gens running around there......i really dont care if you or anyone belives it or not....the neglected cars which i seek out soley to part out...that way i dont part out a good car? i try to look for cars that like i said arnt going to be fixed or have left to rot....those are the ones in my book as qualified parts cars....

 

I checked the Minneapolis Craigslist.

 

BAM!!

 

Minnesota also issues duplicate titles with ease.

It appears Ohio does as well:

okay guys thats in a perfect world with fairtales and unicorns......where you going to get a title for a car thats sat since 87?....owner long gone...possibly deceased and car is now rotting on the new owners land....hmm....???? your still getting off subject this threads not about rights or wrongs or parting cars.....thats a controversial topic i dont see ever geting solved anytime soon....

 

Ya, but the main reason these cars go so cheap is due to the lack of a title. There's a big myth that they are hard to get, so the owner sells it cheap because the don't want to go through the supposed hassel of obtaining another one. Once they get the title the price of the car goes up quite a bit, more than the cost of the title. This only applys to a car worth having a title anyways. Then again, some of these cars change owners without a title transfer and finding the person that last owned the car could be more work than the car is worth. So, it's really on the new owner to make the decision on whether it's worth it or not.

 

This front bumper, it looks like the point sticks out further and has a sharper point, probably just the angle and lighting though.

 

here is the thing first of all quit flippen arguing. Its his cash and his time. Money makes the world go round. Secondly, Marokid, ill give you a quick business lesson. You are on a thirdgen camaro site, probalbly largest one there is. Every single person reading this is a potential customer, sometimes you just have to bite your lip. I don't know if you were trying to be a *****, but you came off as one a few times. Let the other guys come across as ******, they are not the ones trying to sell the parts. Just something to think about. In my business, there is someone who I deal with everyday whose neck id like to snap, but then I just think of the money.

 

Man this thread has just exploded. I saw the first post never thought it would go this fast.
I'm not starting anything but why don't people just leave it be. He wants to part out cars make some money save a few of ours.
Not all of us agree with what cars are "junk"

But that also depends on where you are in missouri rusted floors aren't bad, **** floor at least can be patched with anything and it doesn't matter. No one sees them.
Other parts of the country rusted floors are junk because you can find a clean shell all day long. I had to drive 8 hours one way to get my camaro "for a reasonable price" that was rust free.

that being said I've parted out cars I've bought parts from parted cars but at the same time I want to save every damn camaro and firebird. Its just unprovable sometimes.

I'm just saying I would like to see the gold one saved probably wont happen just be it would be cool to see one of that color combination saved.

 

Seriously, a lot of times getting a title is not that hard. Ever actually TRY getting one?? Or, would that take time away from you parting things??

Obviously, I'm in the minority here, but I think its amusing you come to an enthusiast forum and flaunt the fact you're destroying what's left of sometimes-salvagable cars to make a buck. Like someone else said, if this was a Mustang forum, it would be banned. Enough people on here think its ok...I ain't one of them.

I don't really care what you do, but I hope years from now when these cars' values climb, you look back at how stupid it was to part out all these cars. Based on the intelligence level of this thread, I doubt it...

 

Are you actually paying any attention to what people are saying? No one said EVERY car...but the point is you don't even try getting ANY titles...right????

Your Mustang comments alone to puma make me question the seriousness of your thought process, anyway...

 

He won't regret using parts off a junk car to save another one. Titles are to expensive to get. I bought a 1991 caprice awhile back and to get a title its 350 dollars that i dont have. The reason that i bought the car is because it's 90% rust free and if i didn't save it, it would end up like that gold camaro left to die! My GTA i bought( i will post a pic) is a parts car BUT it had a title thats why i saved it(also because of rarity). There are TONS of thirdgens rolling around. I see them on craigslist for sale almost everday. Parting a couple won't hurt. You can disagree with me all you want. Heres my GTA i was talking about. ALSO A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER this thing is SO ROUGH. Floor pans are rotted the front of the car is shifted to the right a little(almost like it went through a ditch) The bottoms on the fenders are bent. But you guys would of never guessed by looking at it would you? The body looks great in the pics. Like haps said they appear to look good. But i proved you wrong on that one.

 

How the hell could it cost $350 to get a title? In MA its a $25 fee....

 

it has a salvage title

 

Dude, if you believe this is gonna happen, you need to put down the crack pipe.
Except for the rare ones, thirdgens will never ever be collectible.

Your grandkids will hate you when you hand em the title to your car on your death bed and they find out it's still only worth maybe 5 grand.

 

They aren't like 67-69 camaros. The 1st gens were produced in 1967 1968 and 1969 alot were crashed, junked and whats left isn't to much. But third gens were produced for 10 years!!!! There is so many they will never go extinct. I just looked on craigslist 2 were posted today!

 

this post was never about the morals of parting cars out regardless of condition....im going to keep doing what i do.....it was about the fact that im im 18 and drive a dam ls1 iroc on a daily bases work for myself and not a boss or anyone...sending myaelf through college and i dont drive a import with a fart can.....if you have an issue with the morals of parting cars....thats just tragic this isnt a thread about that if anyone took the time to read it fully...im sure you all who are against this...wish you had ls car in general....let alone when you were 18....

 

What made me mad was when people were saying they look fixable. Looking at the pictures you would never know whats wrong with it. I'm probably going spend more than its worth on mine.

 

oh and one more thing.....the gold camaro was sold whole....to someone local

 

I am not saying your a *****, but this is EXCELLENT business advice.

 

And cool.

 

I just need a EGR solenoid with bracket and all connecting vac lines and electric plug for a TPI engine, 85-89. Are there any left?


"There are still some Model T's in existence"

 

I would PM him if I were you

 

i dont have any of those parts currently keep checking back in with me....and thanks for the business advice but if i paid 3 years of college off and have 2 restored camaros....i think im on the right path

 

HaHa...25 years ago people said the EXACT same thing about muscle cars. It won't be long and people will be laughing at you for making a comment like this. Nice thirdgens have already started increasing in value.

 

Just so you know, first generation Camaros were only built three years but production exceeded 220,000 every year. 1984 was the only year production exceeded 220,000 for 82-92 cars. Even though thirdgens were built for eleven years, total production was only a little more than double that of first generation Camaros.

25 years ago people were parting out and scrapping muscle cars because they were cheap and people said they would never be worth anything. I've got friends in the towing business that talk about how many rare muscle cars they scrapped back in the 80's because they had almost no value. In the late 80's I had a friend in high school who routinely parted out '68 and '69 Chevelle SS's that he would pick up for a few hundred bucks. You could easily pick up a decent daily driver muscle car back then for comparable money to what thirdgens are selling for now. Our cars are following the exact same path most old cars have followed and will soon increase in value as well.

 

I think that's the issue here. He got a title for an '82 Indy, but beyond that, I don't even think he's attempted to get one for any of the wealth of supposedly title-less vehicles surrounding the Dayton area (funny I didn't see any making any mention of having no title in Minneapolis at all yesterday), given the four day max strip and dump regiment. Just buy, strip, dump. That's what he's interested in doing--buying, stripping, and dumping as fast as possible before the next one arrives.

I'm on the record numerous times saying these cars--overall-will never bring average muscle car money, but there will come a time when--at least based on the financial means of the average person on this site, that meaning those who buy $500 cars with payments and those who pick up salvage title Caprices but can't afford to rebuild the title yet somehow expect to spend more on a GTA than it's worth, etc., etc.--many/most of the people on this site won't be able to touch a thirdgen, let alone a clean one. How many people on this site can afford a $5k thirdgen right now? 50%? They may not be "collectible", but at the rate they are being parted, you guys will part them right out of your own price range, lol. Nice, low mileage original ones are already more expensive than probably 75% of this site can afford. That percentage is only going to increase as the years go by. As mentioned, we've already seen these cars hit upwards of an unbelievable $60k.

Yesterday you were out of town and promising more pics for numerous people who said they were interested, and somehow in 24 hours you've managed to take out an ad and sell the vehicle while out of town in an attempt to quiet everyone about it and skirt your promises to deliver pics? To me, this kinda says it all--you're losing credibility quickly.

Again, prioritize. If you can't afford a $350 title rebuild on a different car, how are you going to fix up that beat GTA? Too many thirdgen guys that don't prioritize.

 

puma.....there is things such as local people....i dont have to advertise the car in front of your eyes to sell it....i sold it to a local customer who consistantly buys parts off me...so quit the whining your not changing my mind on anything...

 

Like I said, it just happens to seem a bit far fetched that in 24 hours it went from being a parts car, to many people interested and asking for further pics, to being sold, done, and dusted...all while you're out of town.

Doesn't sound too plausible to me.
