need info/hauling car to crusher

[Dylan W.]

I have a buddy with an old 85 camaro. He needs it hauled off to scrap.

I can do this, but I have never been, and dont know what to expect.
I dont think it has a motor/ tranny in it.
He says he has the title but would never be able to find it.
He is my next door neighbor and I have seen this car for years, it's just an old parts car.

He also has some old random scrap metal crap too.
Old heads, maybe a few random junk metal parts.

I heard that you needed a title before they would accept cars now.
Is this true and is it worth fooling with?

Um

If I remember correctly they are only wanting titles or proof of ownership for newer cars and trucks. I think you will be ok with an '85 but call and ask them.

I heard gordons in statesville was the place to go, from Mocksville. Anybody know?

 

[Stroketech]

Yeah

Thats the closest that I know. Its usually pretty busy though. Sometimes a line all the way back to 77!

I am about to do the same thing, except its an early 80's Mr2 no title, gas tank, battery or tires. The plan is to take it to TTE in garner, i hope i dont get hassled for not having a title.

Don't need title if it's over 10 yrs old. Make sure the gas tank is out.

 

[chromerunner]

most just require oil drained hole in gas tank or removed. thats all i cant think of.

 

[Dylan W.]

What about the misc. metals? Should I just chunk it all in the car or what?

car pays less per lb than pure scrap because of the plastic BS weight on the car.
My local scrap yard doesnt require titles past 90.

Also spending 10 minutes to pull the radiator and sell it separate, can net as much as the car itself sometimes. Also Local buys junk "truck" batteries for $18 I guess for the lead?

x2 on this.
The rate per lbs they give you on the car is pretty low.

However, if you have things that are JUST steel, or especially just Aluminum, take those seperately - the rate for "pure" metals is much higher. And yeah, yank the radiator, and the cataltyic converter, too.

I just scrapped that 98 1500 i had w/ no title and never had a question asked, that was at the scrapyard in Denver, they pay higher than the one in Statesville

 

[TeamSpatula]

The one here requires tires to be off also...
(in addition to gas tank & battery removed)
