Title: Old rover that could be saved perhaps, need value for the owner.
Post by: headdamage on August 09, 2021, 09:29 PM
What is this old rover worth, located just south of Calgary?

If you were to take it to pieces you might get a few bucks for it but as it sits there.....couple of three hundred I'm guessing, for someone else to take it to pieces and part it out.    What's the vin.... on it......

I think I have more questions than can be answered in the pictures   ;D

I've only seen the photos myself so I don't have any other details.

Scrapyards usually crush anything over 20 years old? I think a few hundred would be generous, particularly if it has a clean title, past registration by seller, etc. Maybe you'll ask if they'll provide a warranty? Hehe. It's an organ donor, for sure.

Looks like they cut a hole in the frame to give room for the chain and sprocket for the winch.  The winch might be worth something even if just for looks on these old Series.

$250 to take away.
Probably if you parted it out you might squeeze $1500 out of it but you would have a lot of leg work and deal with fifty different guys over a period of several years. Not much fun.

Where is it?  I would take the grill and headlights to mount on a wall!

Apparently just south of Calgary but I don't know the owner, my neighbor does.

Ah.  Well, if he ever decides what he wants to do with it, keep me posted. :)

We should make a "rat rod" out of it.   ;D
