Crazy Ray Crushed My Parts Car

A few months ago, while walking around Crazy Ray's junkyard in Mt. Airy, MD searching for parts for one of his other vehicles, Tom discovered a wrecked 1964 Corvair coupe. It still had quite a few usable parts left on it. He bought the rear seat to use the frame and springs as a replacement for my rusted out rear seat bottom. Yesterday afternoon, he went back to Crazy Ray's to remove and buy the rear heater doors, seatbelts, and the 2-speed wiper switch, wire harness, and motor. He walked up to where the car used to sit, and found another car had taken its place. The cars around were different too. He'd hoped that they'd just moved the car to an area where there were other pre-70s cars stored, but it was not there. He walked around the entire yard and couldn't find the car anywhere, but did find a couple of LM coupes. He walked up to the office and they confirmed that they'd crushed it a week or so ago. He went back out to the LMs and found that the rear seatbelts in one were usable. Unfortunately, the yard was closing by that time, so he'll have to go back.

The Crazy Ray's yard in Jessup, MD also has an EM, so he'll be going out there Saturday.

Lesson learned. He who hesitates is lost. Next time he finds an EM in a junkyard; Tom will spend the time and money and harvest all the parts he can.
