    The bumper looks brand new! I would get it myself but its just a bit too far for me.

    That whole car looks like it would be a good resto candidate. Here, once a car hits the salvage yard, it is done ... can't be sold and re-registered. Wonder what Washington state rules are like in that regard.

    If the yard will sell it complete it can be retitled after it's finished and inspected.

    I went and picked from this car a couple days ago. The front bumper is bent, flattened right in the middle, as you can see in the picture. There's no rear bumper, and it has air shocks in the back (surprisingly not much damage has been done to the mounts). It's a manual steering, automatic straight six, and the motor looks almost new. The interior is pretty trashed but the package tray is a reman that's in decent condition. The door and vent glass have been replaced and reads "Carlite". Body is very straight aside from the passenger door rust and dent.

    All I got was the wiper fluid reservoir. I was disappointed there was no gas cap, and I may go back and pull the rear valence.

    I doubt Pick N Pull would sell a car once it's on the yard for picking.

    I went and checked out the car, its a 69.5 Mav. Took the key in the package tray setup, the bumper is plenty good for me(and doesnt have the bolt holes for gaurds on it), took the valence, stone gaurd and left the rest for scrap..
