nice-looking Terk!

however... photo caption says the pic was taken on 7/30/2022... hope that's just a misprint, and that the vehicle hasn't been at the yard for 6+ weeks!

what a shame. I bet they took it to the local auto repair shop who told them it was not worth fixing. ignorant fool who likely knew nothing about this car, that could sell for $4000 plus in running condition. he would not say that about a $3000 civic, but that old tercel could not be worth much...

OTOH, you have to be careful when one that was not wrecked shows up in the yard, it might need a new trans, or major engine work. or else they usually would fix it. ones that are wrecked were likely running before they ended up in the wrecking yard.

BTW, most wrecking yards will not sell you the whole car once it is out in the yard. that is true with Picknpull, and most other self service yards. you have get it before they inventory it and put it out in the yard. that is a shame for such a good looking tercel.
