We just got done crushing eight 442īs.
On three of them there were W-30 emblems.

How many have you crushed?

 

 

Wow, that's a helluva teaser...

You're supposed to follow that up by saying that they were all completely stripped of any good usable parts and that they were already beat, damaged and rusted beyond any hope of restoration...right?!?

 

I didnīt need any of the parts anyways. I have a Chevy Truck with C10 on the side.

 

......

 

Hm. Yeah, sometimes we forget that unlike real GM cars, you can buy chevy parts off the closeout racks at Wal Mart...

 

This thread is worthless without pics

I just crushed the original TV Batmobile.
I didn''t need the parts because I have a Poncho that says Sunfire on the side.

I couldn't even tell you how many Chebby C-10 trucks I've destroyed there have been so many.
They're called Cent 10's here because there a dime a dozen.

I'm going to Wal-Mart now to look for some of those Chebby boxed NOS rear view mirrors that I can flip to an Olds or Poncho guy on evilbay for $499 dollars woof.

 

We just sent 9 Chevy C10 trucks to the crusher here in St. Louis

 

damm hate to say that the netherlands lies next of germany.
and i think he didn't know how hard it is to get parts for olds.
And didn't know that those parts are worth money!!!??

so why crush them, you can sell them to

and you can buy chevy parts easy here

 

Hey Sean, Whats going on????

Dont mess with OLDS GUYS, allright!!!

Are you drunk or something????

Throw away the last bottle, she is always bad

Torsten

 

I have crushed none.
I wouldn't mind crushing a few thousand bad clones though.

 

I think he is full of it. Why would you join a Olds. web site just to tell them you crushed 442 that's just stupid.

 

:d:d:d:d

 

Yeah i crashed!!!! a 71 supreme SHAME ON ME!!!!!!, but some greek,turkey automechanic will "put" them back together and sent it back to the road again....

I dont want to know, how they will do that ....
Just cut a thing from the frame of.... weld on a piece from a chebby, maybe from a cadillac ( oh i think this will fit) complete everything and selll it as a accidentless car Thats the way it goes over here
Oh man ....

 

No Torsten, Iīm not drunk. I was just showing the guys in the pickup forum how you all would react to something like this.
No, we didnīt crush any 442s and will never ever do it!

In the truck forum a guy asked the same thing about 67-72 Pickups.

Click Me!

Sure wish I knew before that I could get parts for my truck at WalMart.

Sorry if I disturbed anyone.

@ Torsten - You crashed yours, you didnīt crush it.

 

This would have been a good April Fool's joke and glad it was just a January SICK (sixth) joke...

 

Zero for me.

 

But a German mechanic would never ever do that Oh yeah he would only help with putting down the miles on the tach so he can sell it as new at ebay

And yes im Greek and Automechanic

 

I know a guy who brought a rusty 66 W30, white with red bench interior (3407 model) to the OCA Nationals in 1979. Later he crushed the car, saving some W30 parts.

Top that, guys!

I'll make up a free sign for you; here's your sign as Jeff F. says.

 

I parted out a 1969 W-34 Toronado, back in 1992. I paid $500 for it.
But the car had almost 200,000, super rusty, and the left rear quarter was cut out.

 

Back in the 80's and early 90's when I was racing circle track. We use to build and repair alot of cars for people. The chassiss of choice were 68-72 A bodys and 2nd gen camaros. I can't tell you how many cutlasses, chevelles, skylarks, lemans firebirds and camaros we cut up. Probably close to 100. We use to get them for free from a few towing companys and salvage yards that sponsered us. Many were rust free, some even drove. Back then it was just parts to fix something that was twisted, bent or a new build. To have those cars back would be a dream$$ but the memories are worth it

Just one, but it was wrecked before I got it.

when i was in my early teens, before i fell in love with oldsmobiles, we would drive by a car that had ben run over by a monster truck. i was at the age that monster trucks were awesome. dad always told me at the time that people would stop and ask the guy if he would sell the car (before it was crushed) the guy always told people that it was not for sale and got tired of people asking about it so he decided to run it over with the monster truck. about 10 years ago i ask dad about that car because it had ben gone for years. he said that it was a 70 442 W-30. i had no idea that it was a 442. i bet the guy hates himself now.

 

Dana Page crushed #43 and someone else re-created it, albeit not quite accurately, using parts he got from Dana. I saw the original car at the Nat's, iirc it was 1979, and recorded the cowl tag and options info.

 

Me and my Dad parted out a LS6 1970 Chevelle back in 85. The motor was gone and we wondered why the tach redlined at 6500. It was an easily restorable car. I've parted out several SS chevelles and one 65 442 4 speed convertible.

 

I knew a cop in the '80s that would impound cars( mostly we were into goats) the tow guy would sell to the pick your part, who would tell us when the car was getting set down...

We would be waiting like Jackals to strip the feast ...

:buffet: .,.

They would crush what was left ...

 

Board wars ...

...

nice ...

 

There is a guy near me who probably chopped up 3 or 4 dozen 64-72 442's over the years and sold off the parts. His general opinion is that if it isn't a W30 its just a glorified Cutlass, so no big deal.

 

Hi to Sweden! (IKEA Land)
The guy that bought Torstens wreck thinks he will have it back on the road one of these days. We donīt think so.

We would rather try to get a complete frame somewhere before we start cutting and welding.

It was very hard for Torsten to part from his 71 Cutlass but I think it was for the better. The 70 he has now is straight and he can concentrate on restoring it.

Lets get back to wrecking. If we had to crush a car I couldnīt imagine pushing it in the press without taking off all of the good parts.

I read the other post where the guy ran his 442 over with a monster truck. What an idiot. I guess he didnīt know what he had.
