[QUOTE=H48HPE;151819]they come up on ebay for far less than a scrap yard would charge you to cut off the side of a car (they're hardly going to go to the trouble of drilling the spotwelds out, only to find it's rusty inside and a subsequent refusal to pay....

I have known montegos to be scrapped for other reasone than rot.Front/rear end shunt or side impact.
If a new old stock CDP1886 doesnt come to light soon either through a member or ebay or other then i fear the salvage yards would be the only option.Sure & steadfast.
