30 years ago we stripped aluminum and copper off the cars, usually pulled the motors and sold them separate Then used a dozer to crush the cars and loaded 6 at a time on a 2 ton truck. Oh and we usually burnt the cars first to remove anything plastic or cloth. I'm sure this would have set the tree huggers off.

@30wvdirtracer - lol burning them would take weight off ;) We considered using a torch and cutting the engines and trans out, but this was too much fun to pass up

@canadiancatgreen- One was a ford escort the other was a merc. but same thing as a newer style escort. They were both junk, the white one had a bad motor and alot of other problems, and the gold one was junk car, no title, ran hot all the time and had a bad trans. we were just taking them to the scrap yard :)

@BrandonR572 - He may have burned them so they were easier to crush and flatten out. I never really asked him the reason for burning them. The flatter the cars were the more he could haul per load.

@BrandonR572 - My dad has junked cars since the 70's. I believe you had to either remove the interior or burn it back then otherwise he never would have bothered burning it. He doesn't touch the interiors anymore.
