Poor '69

"This car was rescued from a salvage yard in the 80s but not before some fork lift operator tried to pick it up through the tail light openings "

Yikes!  They often like to bury the forks through the side of cars too.

A yard near me likes to harpoon every car they get. They say it keeps people from even inquiring about buy a whole car. They make more money parting it out despite ruining a few doors and interiors. Too many title issues maybe?

   not good .... many a car has been made worse ..by yard opperators doing stuff like that or stacking them , when they could of  been an easyish resto  .. just rest repair

[ChargerSG]

Just sad...

definitely looks like the handiwork of a chevy lover forklift operator..      

[69*F5*SE]

What?.....that'll buff out.

A little more work with the forklift and the back end could look like 59 chevy.

my uncle works at a yard that a big goone runs the forklift and every car thats good he comes along and has to fork it one time and its always threw the side or back glass

[Brock Samson]

i dunno what's worse - that charger or the precceding sentence?.. 

[WingCharger]

GOOD GOD!!    

that poor car.


It'll right out!

I hate seeing damage to cars in the junkyards too. I've also cursed a few places when I'd come across a part I needed that was obviously in good shape before it got to the yard. But in defense of the junkyards, time is money no matter where you work, so what difference does it make whether it's a junkyard or some other business? What are they supposed to do, wrap the forklift blades with pillows? There's planned waste & damages in most businesses, so a few parts that aren't usable is no big deal to them. In a lot of cases you can't buy a car from a junkyard anyway, so parting & scrapping makes sense from a money standpoint. Less headaches too.

That thing looks kinda like a Bat-Charger with the taillight panel bent like that.
