I had the same situation of come get the stuff or it hits the landfill, but I got a complete rolling chassis with engine and radiator for a 30 coupe and the title to match. Not to mention an entire truckload of parts. The thing that killed me about my load was the guy has 3 model As and he was still gonna just throw the stuff away.

Is it my imagination, or do some of those hubcaps say "fool" on them??

I found two pristine '30-31 Model A roadster doors at a metal recycling yard one day, and paid 15 cents a pound for them. Must have been in the rafters of someone's garage or something, and tossed out long after the car was gone, as well as any memories associated with it.
