A lot less left now. This was a fully loaded GT with power everything. I used to work at this location and can tell you a few inside things. 1st, the main thing of value for PAP are the Catalytic Converters. That is where they make their money back on the purchase of any vehicle. Everything else they sell is gravy. 2nd, a car will arrive and sit in a prep area for up to two weeks before they get it ready to go on the lot. That could be shorter if they have the manpower to run the prep area,(very high labor turn over rate). When draining out the fluids they punch a hole in every gas tank and most oil pans. It is the fastest way to remove the fluids. Unfortunately, with a FIERO tank that usually brakes the internal baffling loose rendering them useless even if you patched the hole. 3rd, there is a individual or company that gets to the lot as the vehicles are being placed and grabs every front/rear plastic or urethane bumper cover assembly that is unmolested. Those end up in the second hand crash market for minor accidents that need bumper covers and a quick respray. 4th, for cars in this short supply it would be best to have an organized effort to grab EVERYTHING. If we have a parts barn available then surgically stripping everything and tagging it all for storage would be an excellent idea. I'm not suggesting hoarding everything just don't let it get scrapped. I'm still kicking myself that I let that Iron Duke block get crushed from the 84 that was out there just two months ago. I personally got the remaining wiring and parts for power locks and power mirrors from this 88 so I can option out my 84. 5TH, vehicles sit on the lot for approximately 2 months. After that they are taken to the back, the drivetrain is ripped out with a giant claw and the engine and trans are separated and sorted for the accessories, aluminum, and cast iron. The carcass is pancaked and taken to a processing center where it will be melted to make new Hondas, Toyotas, and KIA's.
