89 MJ Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 1989 Sportruck in a yard in Moss Landing, CA (Bay Area). 4.0, 5 speed Looks like a fairly base 2wd from the pictures. Fairly straight, but lots of the exterior MJ specific parts were already grabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James92 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It was definitely a shame to see it in there. Whoever scrapped it clearly didn't even try to sell it, because someone definitely would've snapped it up. It was a typical CA truck, totally rust free. I grabbed a bunch of parts on it at least, so it won't go completely to waste. Sad sight though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a car is in the yard, they refuse to sell it. Against CA law or something.... I've tried a couple times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a couple times Same with the majority of the yards here in mass. It can be quite frustrating sometimes when you know something good that can be saved is right in front of you and there's nothing you can do.

On the topic, something carter and I talk about regularly is recycling. Everyone preaches it and what not and yet people are dumping good vehicles.

There have been good project cars, old classics, Cameros, even a very solid v8 swapped vega, all tossed and I don't understand how someone could look at it and just say yeah it's junk just toss it for the scrap price.
