    The rear Camaro glass is worth big dollars…. honestly the Camaro is worth a few grand in parts
    EDIT: Chris at the NONONSENSEKNOWHOW channel knows a attorney that specializes in automotive title work. He just made a video commenting on “said” attorney getting his Plymouth Fury titled, and I believe a Chevelle titled.
    Gabe there is 10-15k in vehicles sitting there.

      My boss found someone to scrap them, I don't know all the details. We mainly wanted the space back so someone else could rent it, the vehicles turned out to be too rusty and missing too many parts to be worth much.

    I have this same exact trailer. I bought it in kit form from Harbour Freight several years ago after getting frustrated with paying more for insurance, tags, and taxes on a pickup that I only used when I needed to haul something than I did on fuel for it. Worked out great and only complaint is the yoke is a bit too short and I expect one day I may extend it out another 12-18 inches. I paid around $300 for this trailer because of the folding feature that makes it easy to store in a small space.
    Great find

    The VW is a MK4, and is classic cusp. And More so, the parts are hard to find for.

      I literally just made a comment noting regarding the hubs for use as a closest match to the 25mm spindles on the 1195 and 1720 lb rated Harbor Freight trailers. Chrysler PT is maybe closer though not sure if the quality is as good if I can find parts car OEM parts even used. The MK4 is 99-05 and maybe later to like 07. I forget offhand, though I believe those are the 30mm spindles rear wheel hubs. Maybe he can try with those? I ordered a RIGID 3" cut off tool and 20V DeWalt Milwaukee battery adapter for, to see if makes easier when out at the yard to salvage parts compared to the DeWalt angle grinder with 20V adapter 4.5 in discs.

    I currently own that same exact model of trailer. The frame folds in the middle to stand vertical up on the castors. It originally came with fenders over the wheels. I've owned it for about 20 years and still have the title and it is registered. Great little trailer.

    It's hilarious, the whole vehicle with no title process.
    A number of years ago I got into it with a guy on facebook who was trying to sell a motorcycle with no title. He tried telling everyone that its SUPER EASY, you just need to fill out a form and pay a couple of bucks. This was, of course, in Minnesota. It's a long process that is rarely worth it except for a very rare or very valuable vehicle.

  • @Buzzygirl63

    That Camaro Z28 could be worth a couple grand. They're from the late 80's - 90's and are considered classics now. That's all depending on the condition of course.
    Edit: I'm not sure if it's a Z28, it could be an RS, you'd have to look at the badge down behind front wheels.

  • @kevinleee3408
    @kevinleee3408 Год назад +1

    If you use the parts of that trailer to build a trailer from "Parts on hand" then you can title it as an assembled trailer in Michigan since you're going to replace that axle and various other parts it won't be the same trailer when you're done... now if you were going to just take a trailer that had nothing wrong with it and try to retitle it I don't think that's allowed

  • @mikejones-vd3fg
    @mikejones-vd3fg Год назад +4

    I just got my first car and i can relate, im not a car guy either but was forced to replace a headlight and it wasnt that bad, actually embarassed i thougtht about taking it into a shop for that heh and now Im attempting a radiator fan swap and learning a few things. Like all those parts are expensive and probably worth money if you could be bothered to strip it and sell them individually. I paid $100 for the fan, it was new but would have rather paid $50 for a used one, I bet theres tonnes of parts on those cars like that , someone could use , id at leaste try to sell them as "parts" cars, could get more then a junkyard i imagine.

  • @billyhatcher643

  • @jafinch78
    @jafinch78 Год назад

    No salvage yards up that way that will come out and pay to haul those away? Then at least the locals can pick for parts before being squashed and or shredded. I just got a partial kit of the 1195lb rated folding trailer from a HF auction without the hubs and wheels. Some other parts were missing, so I ordered from HF and since the hubs were still on backorder, I was like why not just use something with my car 5x100 same lug pattern since I have some spare 5x100 rims and tires and then I'd always have a spare for it all. Looks like I'm going to have to custom fab spacers for the spindles and use so far what I've found as Chrysler PT Cruiser or certain years of VW Jetta rear wheel hub assemblies like 99 through 05 is closer at 30mm and a little larger 32mm is the later years ranges. Of course both are not the 25mm spindles hubs, though seems do able and can be more cost effective with more common sources of hubs if required. Any thoughts regarding like concerns or ideas?

    • @saveitforparts
      @saveitforparts  Год назад +1

      My boss found someone to scrap the cars. I haven't gotten that deeply into hubs and spacers! I actually have some train wheels that should bolt onto... something, I just need to figure out the pattern and build another railroad vehicle.

    • @jafinch78
      @jafinch78 Год назад +1

      Interesting. I just ordered some 30mm OD 24mm ID steel tube to make the spindle spacers with. I'll have to bore out the ID a little larger, though will be solid. Knowing my luck, I'll find bearings for like $5 that I could just swap that will fit the axles spindle diameter to replace the VW 30mm spindle bearings in the wheel hub assemblies. Guessing that might be whats on the rear of the VW there.@@saveitforparts

  • @Ziraya0
    @Ziraya0 Год назад

    What kind of hoops you gotta jump to scrap and/or dispose of abandoned vehicles like this? Normally you need the title to scrap, but surely abandonment like this happens often enough that there must be a process.
    I've scrapped trucks in nearly this bad of condition before, most of the money is in the catalytic converters, but you can still usually get a hundred or two for the steel in a 2000ish era pickup, or at least you could in like, fall 2019. The bus is actually worse because it's going to have way more composites per pound. I've never heard of recycling composites working out so their disposal cost will probably be counted against you. This yard is probably a case for calling in a scrapyard or scrap metal service who knows the process of both the paperwork and yanking a bus out of a bog with a wrecker.
    Now of course, odds are good you've already finished this whole thing, so I'd love to hear more about these hoops
