3,500 Crushed: Large Montana salvage yard closes
"Yard owner Neil Freman elected to crush most of the inventory, with the exception of about three dozen cars. Freman spoke candidly to Old Cars Weekly, stressing, “The yard just wasn’t making enough money. I have other businesses that are profitable, so what’s the point [of keeping the yard open].”
Freman blamed the downturn of the economy for some of the yard’s recent lost business, but also said old car hobbyists share the blame. “No one wants to pay what this stuff is worth.” He estimated the value of his 3,500 vehicles to be approximately $2 million."
