Any ideas?

I'd love to start getting some of thsese parts to you guys, but i can't be stuck with anything in the end. it needs somewhere to go.
I don't know where you are with this, but I've got a plasma cutter that can make short work of that shell once it's parted out. With someone else running a sawzall, it'll go pretty quick. Then you can just take the chunks to the metal recyclers and completely forget about the salvage yards. They make most of their money off all the little pieces they sell before scraping the shell. If you only give them a shell, they can't make any money off it before it's useless to them.

I'm over in San Ramon/Dublin and can throw my plasma and compressor in the truck for a run to Castro Valley.

Cheers,

There are a few Metal recycling companies that would pay you for the shell and whatever is left of it after parting it out. I did that with a 76 280z 2+2

I'm in Santa Barbara CA
