It was already getting warm. It was effing hot! When I left for home at 5pm it was around 106, but sort of a "dry" heat.... It was cooler (95) in Mitchell SD where I stopped for some road food but it felt hotter since it was more humid. Obvious there has been little rain in those parts and it was crispy dry. Despite drinking gallons of water, I was feeling a little off by the time I was on the road for home. Almost back to normal this morning. It may be worse heat today as I think the humidity is even higher. Most of the parts cars went to a crusher. They had a min bid of $75 in. Lots of good parts on some of them, but unless there was something special, nobody was willing to bid $85 to keep it from the crusher. There must have been 3-4 GT hawks and 2 finned hawks. Of those, I think 3 of the GTs and 1 finned went to the crusher. Also a '53 hardtop shell. The roof was messed up on that. Lots of '47-'52 stuff and 2R PU stuff is crusher bound too.

Did the crusher give hobbyists a chance to pull parts off the cars to be crushed? Not necessarily free, of course, but at least a chance to pull parts? That's what happened here in the little town of Bellville IN about 6-7 yerars ago when an auction like this was held. Crusher was 'most co-operative with hobbyists, and I'm sure he made more money in the process for being a decent guy. He was to come back the following week and start crushing, but anybody that wanted to could buy "picking rights" for a flat fee per car until he got back. Anything that good happen in Armor?

The announcement made at the start was you could either leave or maybe sell (not clear to me) the hulk to the crusher after YOU first bought it and stripped stuff off. When I left, there were only a couple of folks loading up their parts cars (partly since very few were not bought by the crusher). It was so blasted hot that I expect maybe folks were planning to come back later. There was 60 days to move your car I think. Then again, someone was saying the same scrap guy had cleared out a old junkyard in either NE or IA and worked very fast. Probably, based on that report, they will be back with a convoy of flatbeds to remove the cars within a few days. If so, leaves little time to contact them and make a deal or be on hand to do it. Probably best to contact Ken and find out if its possible or when they are coming.
