WTF happened to this thing?

Looks like there's a second one being towed behind the flatbed, but it's not up on the search listing yet.

Those front windows! WTF!!?? Looks like it was driven through a tornado.

[Jeff V.]

No kidding. I might go over there just to gawk at it.

[ChargerX3]

Also just put the half monti on insurance this week. Finally get to drive it around now. I’m sure I’ll find lots to fix.

[ChargerX3]

I wouldn’t blame you. Snag the rear window slider locks if they aren’t broke. Also, you done with 1st gens or looking for a SWB?

[Jeff V.]

I am done. I'll check out those sliders if you need them.

[Jeff V.]

The one behind it is a Raider.

I went over to get the latches Steve mentioned, and to check on something else I had been watching. The Raider was ok. But that Monte....wow.

[alienviking]

Wtf.. did somebody try to turn it into a Mad Max vehicle and fail utterly?

[Jeff V.]

I don't know. You can see it's got some square tubing in the back, but I couldn't tell why. Some kind of redneck roll cage?

[ChargerX3]

Wow, that monti looks bad in ways i couldn't imagine. Jeff, and you thought you had rust issues.

That raider looks sweet though. How was the interior? Seats look solid from the picture.

[Chris GTO TT]

The raider looks good enough to still drive in the one picture, but that Monte looks so bad it makes me wonder why they even brought it into a pick n pull

I've seen completely burnt out shells dropped in PNP. Makes no sense

Thought I heard a commercial on the radio where they will take anything and give you cash for it?

I don't get it. I tried to give them my red parts truck, and they wouldn't take it. It was missing the engine, trans, and a few other parts. I guess it's all based on weight, and it wasn't valuable enough without the drivetrain.

I know not all of you have a Pick N Pull, but they tend to put their nicer cars out on the front lot and try to sell them to customers for a few weeks before giving up on them and then putting them out in the yard.

I saw a loaded Ram 50 with all the options one time at a far away Pick N Pull about a year ago. It was sitting in the front lot with some front end damage, but in good shape and for sale as a whole. Not wanting to lose out on the opportunity to nab perfect door cards, dash cluster, center console, and some other bits, I removed all of them one morning. Thats a bid no no at the yard. You cannot touch for sale cars. Well the truck sat there for a couple more weeks until I think they noticed and then it went straight to the crusher. Didn't even go into the yard!!! I was so pissed because I wanted the 4.22 LSD center diff and other bits but never got the chance to grab it. I really only have myself to blame but damn!

So for them to put that wreck of a montero in the yard and my yard not to put a beautiful Ram 50 in is beyond me.

[Jeff V.]

Speaking of sale cars, this is the other reason I went to the yard.

I originally went to look at it a few weeks ago. It's got a bad engine, and it's been poorly painted with bedliner. It was originally yellow. But it's got the locking rear axle and crawler transfer case, among a few other things. So I went to see if it was still there in the hopes it hadn't sold and was put out on the yard.

Found out they took it to auction instead. I found the auction, but can't see how much it sold for. Oh well.

[ChargerX3]

Thats a bummer, you got screwed like me.
