Scrap e-mail not Junk E-mail

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

NAAACCC update #44 December,2005 ///Merry Christmas to you all
Email notification program ---sign up now to view scrapped vehicles


Information update from SEMA brought to you from the
(NAAACCC)—National Association of Antique Automobile Clubs of Canada Corporation


If you are looking for a vehicle or parts sign up now for the scrappage program in California
Want to save a vehicle from being crushed into a cube, salvageable parts and all? You can, thanks to a new California Air Resources Board (CARB)

You can sign up online to be notified before a car or truck is scrapped, so you can either buy the entire vehicle or buy parts off of it before it's scrapped and destroyed.

The new Email program not only notifies interested parties of a vehicle's potential scrappage free of charge, it also provides a substantial waiting period before the vehicle's destruction. If you submit a request to see a scrapped vehicle, the period until the vehicle's destruction can be extended by as much as one week. Previously, cars and trucks could be destroyed as soon as they were inspected and the necessary paperwork was processed, precluding any vehicle rescue or parts sales.
“This automatic Email notification system represents a significant opportunity to hobbyists looking for specific vehicles and parts," said Frank Bohanan, a technical consultant to SEMA. "When combined with SEMA's success in limiting the types of parts which must be destroyed under these programs, this advance notice about vehicles destined for scrappage will help improve the availability of unique parts which would have otherwise been lost forever." It should be noted that in British Columbia, Canada the Collector Council of BC has made a similar arrangement with the Department of Motor Vehicles. (The NAAACCC sits on the board of the Collector Car Council)
The CARB Email program will automatically send a list of vehicles' make, model and year to interested parties, whenever a vehicle is scheduled to be received at a dismantler's facility. The Email message will include the dismantler's location, as well as the time when the vehicle is scheduled to arrive at the dismantler.

Remember to notify Canadian Customs at least three days prior to importing a vehicle into Canada

Best Wishes to you all from the NAAACCC Board of Directors.
