A yard close to me I know they take ANY car as long as its cut in half. My friend owes a tow company and that's how he got rid of 2 cars he has held for 2 years due to these little lien holders who are no longer in business. They kept getting lien denials and he legally wasn't able to lien sale them. So that's what he did. $1000 in his pocket was better than the 0 for 2yrs

I know this isn't about cars but if the trees are big enough call a timber company and they will pay for the trees AND remove them! Always think about how you can make money rather than spend your own. Either way I think you'll come out well here!

Some of those older cars will have much more value in pieces than you could ever think about getting from the scrap yard. It just depends on if you have the time, storage room and patience to remove and sell some of those pieces. I still have most of the exterior trim and a few misc pieces from a 48 plymouth. Just in selling the interior dash trim, guages, choke, throttle and vent cables, and a few other misc small pieces I am slightly over $1,200 on ebay. While this is a good return on a zero investment it did take some time to remove, research and list on ebay. Just some thoughts, hope you make out like a bandit.
