1) they don't want the hassle of dealing with titles
2) they usually don't have a dealership licsence
3) they make way more money just selling parts
4) they don't want the legal liability

Print magazines typically have a three month delay from writing to delivery. I have no idea what the lead time is for a blog, but one assumes much shorter lag. All we know from the article is that it is in Calif. The setup looks like one of the Pick-Your-Part yards, but there are many of those throughout the state. Besides, cars in those yards have about a two-three week lifetime before being crushed. I hate to say it, but chances are this car is on it's way to China by now.

If someone really can use the parts, it may be worth the effort to find a member in that area to check it out... I am sure the market is very limited for those wing parts, which could be a hard sell... On the flip side, find someone who really needs them, there could be money to be made...

You are right, it is not always about the money... That is why I am so over loaded with spare parts for vehicles that may never be highly collectible, W & E Bodies are a good example and more specific to part of my hoarding, but I just couldn't see them being scrapped... We do have to salvage what we can when we can... Again, as you said, it is not always about the money and I surely didn't mean to infer that it was...

I need the spoiler for my car. I have done just about everything I know to get them. I placed an ad on Row 52 for a parts puller to get them for me, placed a Craigslist ad, posted here and on other sites to see if anyone that lives near the yard can get the parts for me, and even went as far as asking my vendors (AutoZone, Advance, and O'reilly's) if they could find out if someone from their companies could go get them for me. No go. As much as it pains me, I have just about given up :-(

I also need the steering wheel and would be interested in the shifter, shifter cables, top center console trim, clutch/brake/gas pedal assemblies, headlight switch, wiper switch, the data computer in the console, the camshafts (if they are any good), the dash speaker grilles, and the list goes on and on...
