We do not publish a price per ton. Tell the yard if it rolls, if the title is in hand, and if it is behind a gated-community arm that a tow driver cannot operate.
Local prices vary by yard. Send a photo for a quote. Car-body prices move with the steel market, and the yard’s scale that day is the number that counts.
