It might help to have an idea what they pay for cars like that. I know local
pick-a-parts advertise they will pay $750 for junk cars. I am guessing they
less depending how complete or not a car is. The good thing about cars from
pick-a-part is prices are the same no matter what car they came off of.
If there are parts you really need I would grab them now and negotiate what you
think they are worth to you. For the rest find out how long before it goes to
scrap metal and come back before then and bargain for anything else you may
want. By then he should realize it is not gold. Bundle everything together for
the best deal usually. A lot may be gone as others may thing it is gold too.
I once got word of a complete tin top ZA on saturday night, by the time I got
there at 10 am the next day many items including the grill I desperately wanted
were gone already.

wow, an almost impossible question to answer. Heâ??d probably sell the whole
parts car less than those bits. You MUST have a parts car! Itâ??s part of the
membership requirements.
Guess I would hit the guy with â?? . . . and how many other people have asked
you about a Magnette steering wheel or tach?â?? Just as a starting point, I
would throw out maybe 25 on the steering wheels, and the tach question??? The
cars did not come with a tach, so not sure what heâ??s trying to sell you? If
it really is a tach, it is not a stock Magnette tach, as there were not any. I
â??spose it might possibly have been dealer installed? but thatâ??s a real
stretch. More like something added by a PO, or even a DPO. It could be an
â??MGâ?? (Smiths, Jaeger) tach, from perhaps an A or B, which makes them fairly
common. I would say check the brand of the tach, and the condition, and if it
is something you really want to use, that looks appropriate, maybe try 10 bucks?

Subject: [Thelist] Junk Yard Parts
Happy Sunday folks!
I have a haggling question. A neighbor found a 1957 ZB at a nearby junkyard and
told me about it. I went down there and checked it out. It was a total rust
bucket with few salvageable items on it. But, I could redo the steering wheels
(there are three in the car, for whatever reason) and the tachometer gadgets.
So, what should I pay? According to my neighbor, this guy thinks he found a
gold mine (nope), and I am a novice at haggling at a junk yard. Perhaps a
better question is, what are un-restored steering wheels and tachometer gadgets
worth?
Thanks and best,
Jon M.
