worknwood Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 While looking for other parts I found this '70 Subaru at a junk yard in Susanville CA. Go here for picts: http://picasaweb.google.com/dpdarnell/JYFF1SubaruCoupe02 It looks to be pretty complete and without much damage and a high desert car with little rust. Wife says I can't have it, too many toys in the yard now. If interested PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenaissanceMan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 OK, we need to save this car. If I can sell my GLF then I will go get the FF1 for sure. So I posted this thread in the For sale section: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79673 Anyone out there want a GLF?

worknwood Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I will be glad to help dig this car out of the yard. They are basically a salvage yard for a towing co. and don't do any dismantleing, just let folks go in and get part like a pnp yard and crush. This one is so rare nothing has been taken. The interior is very rough and the front bumper needs repair or replaced, the pass. side door handle is broken, and the outside vent covers behind the rear windows are missing. I have an extra bedroom if you need to stay over. I will be off line this week end, 50th class reunion:banana: . Mike; the car is safe for now, their crusher is down and they are short of help. I will contact the yard and check on the particulars of getting it and post later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Wow. worknwood, did you talk to the yard owner about purchasing the car complete? alot of private junk yards in CA arent willing to do the paperwork required to sell a junked car. Whoever is interested, i can assist in recovering the vehicle and getting it down the hill to Sacramento. Just need to find a 3/4 ton pickup and i have access to car trailers at work. This is definatly a car that needs to be restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobcob Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 alot of private junk yards in CA arent willing to do the paperwork required to sell a junked car. +1 on the need for saving this one!! Heck, if the owner needs some "coercing" I'd probably be able to chip in a little $$ if needed... not a lot but it'd be worth it to me to see that car saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm going to probably head up there this weekend, see if I cant save it... Waiting for worknwood to get the info from the yard up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 will pitch in $5.00 for the effort here.. go ahead and print it out... But seriously... I can send a check. BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I've got the money right now, its the transportation I need a hand with (junkie is the man btw) And if I do somehow manage to get the FF-1, my wagon will be on mega-clearance to make room of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Steve lets see if i can make room in the garage for a '79 Wagon been thinking alot about it lately. But do i really need another project? If anything, it shouldnt be hard to get it in good enough condition to drive to a potential buyer in the surrounding states. Anyhow, let me know what you find out about the JY up there. Susanville is a couple hour drive, the extraction will take a full day. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I've actually been wanting to visit that area of the state, never been there before... I'll take my camera for some photography of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I talked to a co-worker of mine today, who was raised in Susanville and he sais its a 3.5hr drive from here. One way. Ive driven through it at night on my way to oregon once. Not much to see, but maybe its better in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worknwood Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Well it looks like Kostamojen is "the man" on this car. He is the first to come up with a solid commitment to buy. I didn't get a call back from the junkyard today, so I'm not sure about how the paper work will go. Will call again in the morning and post any new info. I did buy a rolled brat (whole car) from them and will have to get a salvage title for it if I can get it repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Cool, glad they are willing to sell whole cars. They didnt give you a title when you got the brat? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worknwood Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 No, they gave me a bill of sale and a transfer and reassignment form Filled out for the car. I understand that a salvage vehicle must pass safety inspections (lights, brakes,etc.) for road worthiness and smog and then you apply with these and a the bill of sale, and the DMV form above for a new title. It will be a salvage title, which may affect it's value as a collector car, but probably not much for this car. I am working on an '80 Toyota pickup that my grandson totaled and I baught back the salvage for $59 from the insurance co., it will require the same. My grandson was paid off and I get the pickup for cheap. Not counting my time of course. Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worknwood Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Contacted the yard again today, the car will go for $250. The tow was an abandoned car and has no key, and will have to be a salvage title. Sounds like we may be able to work out a weekend extraction.
