Unfortunately, sometimes, the people that knew of these cars being in there kept it a closely guarded secret from the collector car hobbyist, and as a result, many people that could have used these cars for parts will never have the opportunity to get the parts that they need. The other thing that happens is that the yard doesn't want to sell some parts off a car, but sell only the car itself. If they can't get what they want for the whole car, then they just scrap it for the metal value. I am having a hard time finding parts for a 1978 Cadillac since so many of them were crushed in this last round of high steel prices. The few remaining cars that are still in yards, the yard operators think that everything is gold, when in reality, it isn't. We will always be torn between paying an outrageous price for a single part or going without.
