I've owned noteworthy but NOT in a good way. There was a very tragic hiway accident here some years ago (that made national news). A piece of metal feel off of a scrap truck and got wedged under a Dodge caravan. The gas tank got punctured, the metal piece was throwing sparks. You can guess what happended next. At hiway speed imagine..... an intense explosion/fireball going up through the floor of the van.... full of kids. It was aminister and his family. Seven kids as I recall but I'm going back maybe 15-20 years by now. I think the parents and one child survived. The van ended up at my shop. 90% burned with a hole in the center of the floor about 3 feet around.  

People with classic rides think going to the J yard is just all fun and games and a good time. Unfortunately recyclers get the remnants of dramatic occurances sometimes...... and I ended up owning it

I remember the story well.   That is an incident I will never forget.

It took me a bit to find a link to the story/I realize this is a bit far from the original intent of this posting SORRY. But it did change lots of regulations in haulingscrap/junk cars!

We get quite a few cars in with bio harzard decals posted all over them .  Mostly full of blood stains but sometimes chunk of meats .  Very disturbing       We strip them of all usable parts and crush them fast .

The most note-worthy would have to be the one in the picture just to the left..........

Mine would have to be my 70 Bee for the reason I bought it in the first place. Factory, AC, PW, PS, Power Disc brakes, 3 speaker dash, 8-track, FK5/FK5. To bad it's only a 383 with auto on the column.

HMMM, noteworthy?  probably my 64 Custom 880.  My parents bought it new, and in 45 yrs of driving and going to car shows, I have seen 1 other one that used to run around Bellevue Wa, a tan one, with a dent in the rear, one in a garage in Kent Wa.  We sod the car in 89, and in 94 I saw it again, and havent seen it since then.

I have never seen another one anywhere else  since then either.  I had a 65 Custom 880 and have never seen another one of them either.

back in 1948 i had a 1932 chev. one day i heard a noise coming from the engine so my father said it was the bearing.  so i took off the pan and took out the rod caps off the piston rods.it had babbit bearing in it and i had to put new ones in. i put them in turned the engine over and took them off took a knife and cut off the high spots and put them back in agian. i had to do it 4 times before they fit right.
