Lost the link, but we were discussing a while back on that email list for people in Cal, for all the cars on the credit program that were bought and scheduled to be crushed. This is the email list of the guy who is responsible for the program. cbennett@arb.ca.gov email him, and ask him to add you to the list, so if you see anything pop up--you can buy these old cars b4 they are crushed. Here is his additional info as well as this weeks entire email, sorry if too long Hello, collectors! This is the Voluntary Accelerated Vehicle Retirement (VAVR) Automatic Old Car Notice to the listserve subscribers for cars scheduled to be delivered on February 1, 2003: Vehicle: 75 CHEV Partial VIN: 1Q87L5N6 Vehicle: 74 DODG SD Partial VIN: LH41C4R2 Vehicle: 64 FORD 4D Partial VIN: 4J64X136 Vehicle: 75 CHEV Partial VIN: 1Q87L5N6 Vehicle: 74 DODG SD Partial VIN: LH41C4R2 Vehicle: 64 FORD 4D Partial VIN: 4J64X136 Vehicle: 80 OLDS SD Partial VIN: 3M69AAM5 Vehicle: 77 CADI SD Partial VIN: 6L47S7Q1 Vehicle: 78 BMW SD Partial VIN: 5465302 Vehicle: 70 DATS Partial VIN: HLS30069 Vehicle: 80 VOLKS Partial VIN: 53A00285 Vehicle: 72 DATS Partial VIN: PL510327 Vehicle: 77 OLDS Partial VIN: 3M29R7R1 For further information, please see: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/avrp/emailnotification.htm If you are sincerely interested in making an appointment to go to the dismantler to inspect and potentially buy any of these vehicles, please email me at cbennett@arb.ca.gov by 4:00 p.m. Monday, February 3, 2003. Due to the extremely large number of subscribers to this service (over 2,000 now), the dismantlers prefer that interested parties be limited to only those that actually plan to show at appointments to inspect the vehicles. Please note that most of the cars are only in fair condition, pass smog check, are registered and pass the vehicle eligibility inspection criteria according to local district rules. As far as supplying information on the specifics, the program is primarily for air quality credit generation through the early retirement of high-polluting older vehicles. However, the collector vehicle notice service resulted from the activities of restoration hobbyist in California who participate in preserving California historical vehicles and who have helped facilitate the structure of the program so that everyone gets a chance to inspect the vehicles prior to entry into the retirement program. In that respect, the enterprise operators do not maintain complete VIN or model in their database. They actually do not get this information until the vehicle(s) arrive at their site at which time both you and the dismantler gain the opportunity to find out everything about the vehicle. To repeat a note sent in previous reports, in response to several requests for specific vehicle types in the South Coast Area, as yet, the VAVR automatic notification service does not filter vehicle types, but you should be able to quickly scan the list to determine if what you are looking for is among the list of vehicles. Also, partial VIN numbers are only available for expediency and privacy reasons, and the particular model is not available until you express sincere interest in the vehicle. Please contact me at cbennett@arb.ca.gov if you have any further questions or comments. Thank you, Chuck Bennett Air Resources Engineer Mobile Source Control Division On-Road Controls P.O.
