these people are assholes who whored this stuff. they know it has value, but are not willing to give it up. im not a mopar guy buy i want one of those AAR's
for sure..
I tried to buy a 66 Chevelle SS in Kentucky back in the late 70's..
guy had it sitting on blocks in the weeds..said he was gonna fix it up..
no drive train..only a body with slight surface rust on the top surfaces..
all interior..tach, clock, console(4-speed)..all glass was perfect..
I checked on it for a coupla years..
went back about 5 years later...
they musta needed the blocks..it was sitting on the ground and
had rotted out about a foot up into the doors and the quarters..
the guy said he was gonna fix it up..
LOL..LOL..LOL
WOW! Some of those pictures bring a tear to your eye. How about that Superbird out in the snow? Would make a terrible race car, but would still love to have one as a street car to screw around with. Thanks to Baret Jackson, most of us will never be able to touch any of these cars. They have the prices so inflated now the the people that have 75 Cordobas think they are worth a fortune.
OFF OF MY SOAP BOX NOW! Thanks..............I feel better now.
Does anybody remember that junkyard that was featured in some kind of hot rodding magazine probably around 2002? Not exactly sure what magazine it was. My dad used to have the magazine and we even went to the place and cant remember where it was at or what it was called. My dad would like to go back up there. It was full of old muscle cars and older cars as well.
I remember reading something a while back on like 25 semi trailers that a guy had stuffed with old car and car parts. I believe they found all this stuff after the owner had passed away. damn shame
That yard looks like the one near the PA and Ohio border in PA, The story behind his yard is that he worked at a large city owned impound lot and he bought all the good stuff. Although the yard in PA is well kept and all the cars still roll and are largely intact, its crazy to see 100's of musclecars just sitting in one place. Last time I went the guy showed us the "keepers" that he had stored in the garages/storage containers/semi trailers scattered on property, he insists that he is going to have an auction and sell everything.
Its sad to see so much good parts go to waste. I happen to like most likely the rarest car in the pics. There is a 55-56 Lancer wagon. Most likely has a hemi in it.
there was a guy around here that had something like 300 or so mopars at one time....he junked a lot of it and still has some stuff.......hemi dart , awb 65 , hemi cuda , and probably 3 or 4 birds and daytonas....but the good stuff is put up. might be time for a bing map search...
My brother just bought a set of Granada front spindles/brakes for his Maverick from a guy on CraigsList. When he got there to pick them up, the guy had a yard with about a hundred 67-70 Mustangs and 68-69 Torinos. Mach 1s, GTs, all kinds of stuff. Don't know how old he is, but said he started accumulating them when he was 15 yrs old. Won't sell any of the cars. Absolutely refused.
another said story..buddy came across a 'true' 69 Z28 302 car..in Tennessee..
the body was sitting on the ground behind the house in the mud..
the doors were off sitting against the house..no drive train..
the old guy was using it for a dog house for his blue ticks..
he had them chained to the steering column...
kept bags of dogfood in the trunk...
wouldn't sell it..buddy even offerd to build him a doghouse if he'd sell it..
the guy said he was gonna fix it up..
..of course he never did..
In Geneva there is a 1969 Camaro pace car 396 sitting in this histanic guys side yard, I'm 40 and its been there since I was 6. The guy will not budge off it for nothing, damn shame.
Theres a place like this in RI, I can't remember where but if you google earth it you can see the acres and acres of cars on his property. There must be a thousand cars out there.
How much money do you think is sitting there going to waste
