Very sad in some ways. Very unusual disbursement of models:
First, of all, there were almost no K-cars. There were only 3 of them. Sadly, two of the 3 were the nearly extinct 1st generation ones. This is the first time I saw less than 4. Made me sad.
1984 Plymouth Reliant Wagon. (The one that sat dead in a front yard near my house for 10 years got chucked. Could not save it)
1984 Chrysler LeBaron 4dr Sedan. AAacccckkkk!
1985-1989 Dodge Aries 4dr Sedan.
And, there were virtually no L bodies, no H bodies, but there was a lone totalled G body. A 1984 Chrysler Laser.
And, there were absolutely no M Bodies at all. EXTREMELY unusual. There are usually 2-3 Fifths here everytime I come. Also, where I live still has a dozen or so nice Fifths
alive, way more than K-cars, so how come none were in the junkyard? We all know 80s Fifths are the most surviving 80s car model that once can still find. 5 near my house
alone.
And finally, cars that NEVER should have been in there that were to rare to be killed:
1977 Dodge Aspen Stationwagon
1960s Mercedes Benz Sedan
A few 70s Japanase cars.
1980 Ford Pinto.
A few 70s Ford LTDs and Thunderbirds still end up, darn it.
The good news is a pic-a-part employee has is private lot where he collects junked cars and tries to resell them alive. He has a 62 Dodge Lancer Sedan that just showed up.
The bad news is Chrysler is the smallest of the American stash here it gets recycled every month. There were only 32 Chryslers, of which only about 10 of them were really over 20 years old.
Still at least 100-200 1980s GMs and Fords getting massacred for stupid reasons when they are now classics.
Possible lead: Ran into someone picking parts from a 70s Ford LTD that says he has an 86 LeBaron Conv.
Finally, THE PICS:
