Re: Bigtruckdriver's 1981 Model10
CoPart is a vehicle auction company. Mostly they offer vehicles that have been bought by insurance companies after a claim. I think they do some regular liquidation too. They have some great prices from time to time but in most cases you have to have a dealers license to bid. There have been a number of vehicles I would have liked to have bid on if I knew someone with a license.
In some cases, anyone with an account can bid. But I have found that those are not usually the ones with the best prices. Anyone can sign up for an account...
