Not to tease or temp, but I ran across 4 (four) Chevy S-10e carcasses recently on a trip to my local auto recycler/dismantler. Now before you get any ideas, the place that has these cannot sell them or let them out of their care at all for any reason whatsoever. Please do not e-mail me about where they are and who has them, as I am sure they would not want 100's of phone calls from people trying to buy them when GM will not let them do anything with them (Even crush them) I am posting these photos to show what I found and to share with others that may be interested.
I find it sad that they are left to sit and rot in a yard like this, when they could have easily been put back to use on the road. The guy I talked to said they got something like 40 of them several years ago, and most of them were just fine. Some had less than 1000 miles on them. He crushed most of them and these specimens that are left have had the motors drilled and chiseled beyond repair. He said they are under legal abligation from GM to keep them until GM says crush/destroy them. In my dreams the guy would have said, "Yeah we got some you can have all the guts for $1000!" but then I wake up and realize it's all a cruel nightmare and these are literally only going to rot in the weather.

Sorry to bump this old thread up. But seriously, do all these old GM treads and deals still exist now that they are government motors? I have a feeling you could just pick these things up and use them and GM wont do anything to stop it. Should be a nice story if they did. That's for the new Chris Paine documentary.

That's insane. Especially since there were many of these that were allowed out "into the wild" so to speak, so it's not as if there are big secrets sitting there. No good reason at all to destroy those perfectly good EV's
