Value... depends.
Weight is reported as ~700 lbs.
nickbrown MAY 09, 08:52 PM
is it steel or iron?
Raydar MAY 09, 10:21 PM
Steel of some sort.

I'm told that scrap steel is going for $8 per 100 pounds so that would be $56.... hardly worth hauling it to the scrap yard.

If you have the entire car you might get something in the $150 to $200 range for scrap.

Last summer I got $176 for this shell after removing the wheels. I don't remember what scrap value was and the bottom of the engine and auto transmission were still in the car.

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun?

Sent a completely stripped space frame to the junkyard and got about $60 for scrap value. Problem was it cost $65 to rent the trailer to get it there and it had to be cut up to fit in. It was quite the experience.

MulletproofMonk and Jfrost confirmed what I said earlier. A completely stripped Fiero space frame is worth about $60 and a mostly complete Fiero is worth $175 for scrap.

I bought a junked 84 for 250 and like a good boy I was going to black tag it. It would have cost $250!!! I didn't tag it. Will a salvage yard take a "salvaged" car without a title? At what point is a car not a car but a clump of steel?

I don't know for sure, but most scrapyards want a title for a scrap car. Texas has a loophole that helps....Here you can get an "Unrepairable Vehicle Title" that only costs $10 so you can take it to the scrapyard without issue. Your mileage may vary.

You would have to cut up a space frame in pretty small parts before it no longer resembled a car.
