What are the precise precious metals in these converters that these guys want, and what do they do with them?
The Cats contain platinum. They sell it to recyclers for big money. The last time I sold a set off of a 95-01 V8 Ford explorer, it brought about $700.
My son-in-law spotted one in a trash can, picked it up for a quick $150.00!
