    Transmission cores as far as the eye can see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    « on: May 01, 2008 - 12:58:31 PM »
    I did not know where to post this but you 'all have to see this. The transmissions are probably all junk from the weather as far as rebuildable,but the aluminum is a gold mine. It all looks like old stuff (3 speeds) but I would love to see it in person.  :grinyes:

     :22yikes:  Good gravy.  Two minutes of video with walking the entire time with trannies on either side.  Video's over and the end is still not in sight.  Unreal.
    I imagine there's more than a few #'s trannies that current owners' have been looking for their ride.

    For just the trannies that were seen, how much do you think the scrap metal is worth?

    Metal and what good hard parts (pumps,drums etc.) you got out of them I would say $50,000 would not be unrealistic.  :dunno:

    Pumps and drums for 727's/904's,GM 350/400 Turbo's are getting harder to find so the parts for them continue to climb in price.

    It would take alot of work to tear them all down though.

    Lots of aluminum there...with the price of scrap I'm surprised it's not being cleaned up.
