I'm not going to stick up for Hawks because I personally don't know them. I am however going to stick up for business' in general... This car sold for 23k at IAAI, that means that dealer buyer fee's would be at least $830. Then they would have to ship it from CA to SC for another $1,500 give or take. Hawks has around 25k into it before they even started to fix anything. This is the normal price range that these cars pull at most salvage auctions...
While I do think a lot of the cars/parts I see them sell are overpriced, I don't think anyone goes into business to lose money... |

Great. Another stripped Z/28 in the Bay Area. Anybody know what's behind that area under the cut's in the front bumper? What is being disabled?

From what I heard, that is where the harness is for the horn which they cut disabling the horn. They pop the hood switch the ECU and drive off in 30secs. There is a few more steps but that is the basics. Friend in law enforcement said in the San Fran area, they have a truck with an large enclosed trailer, drive the car into it, drive around while they strip it, then pull up somewhere and dump the carcass. Car never comes out of the trailer until they are done with it. No shop to locate and they can change trucks and trailers as needed.

Who the hell are they selling these parts to? This is a small community and these parts are pretty specific.

What if you put a lock on the hood popper some how. Would this slow them down enough for them to give up? Just a thought.

If you find yourself parking in a neighborhood that seems unfavorable, there is a couple of relays you could pull that would disable the car. Takes 2 seconds. Unless, like some others, they hook up to it and pull it out. In which case, nothing you do will help.
