Can tell that whoever loaded up this Pontiac was a real rocket scientist. Put a chain over the top of the car to hold it down rather than across the floor.

the picture was taken in the line waiting to get to the shredder.so at this piont i suppose it really didnt matter where the chain was cause it wasnt being saved

Should have saved that 69-70 SS rim that is on the back of the pontiac before it went to the shredder

'Luckily' the chain was on the roof so they didn't hook and damage the rear axle tube before tossing the 12-bolt into the fire!.

I might have been tempted to wave some $$$ at that loader for that Vette or that 68 flattop wagon. I did that at a local yard on a 67 loaded Tornado that was the next to bottom car in a stack of five just about ready to go into the crusher. Offered him $200 for the complete 425 if it will spin. It did, and I got it. As long as they get the hulk back, some of the smaller polaces listen to $$$.

I missed a 66 SS396 4 speed car that was in the stack already flattened down. Manual steering box was visible and still intact, so got that for $20. 5 minutes with the gas hatchet.

Not my favorite Vette, but very surprising it was going into the crusher. Not that bad.

Maybe the Pontiac was one of those two piece cars and chaining the floor would have sent the roof airborne like a mattress on sale !!

I thought these yards were in business to make money??
You would think people this close to the business would have an idea of what is worth what!
I'll have nightmares over some of those shots for a week!!

I think the Vette shot was photoshoped. Every junk yard owner is crazy, but not dumb enough to crush that car.

could be. however the back window is out of the car and it appears that the front windshield is busted up as well. car still has plates and they appear to be from Minnesota.

I also would like to think no one is dumb enough to crush a complete straight vette.( could have a twised frame up front?) Zooming in on that photo shows no evidence of photoshop except the reflection in the mud puddle dosen't look exactly correct?

nice winter conspiracy story.
