Junkyard Dawg and Son, down south Jukin, 3rd gen parts trip, with PICS

[twilt]

My son and I took a trip down to Southeast GA today to pick up some goodies that i *won* on ebay earlier this week. Here is some pics of us, the trip, and best of all...........THE PARTS.

[twilt]

we got to see lots of pastures, pecan orchards, and of course a darn old train.

[twilt]

This was "city hall" in one of the little towns we went thru. cows are laying down, that supposed to mean that the fishing will be lousy.

[twilt]

stopped for a quick bite to eat and checked the load.

[twilt]

more pics loaded up

[twilt]

unloaded at home, time to get the parts hid before the wife gets home. She knows i got a few things, doesnt know about all of it
pic 1 power bulge hood is very nice. no rust, no damage.
pic 2 340 engine condition unknown
pic 3 340 exhaust manifolds

[twilt]

doors, a pair of good usable fenders, pair of bucket seat cores.

[twilt]

Valances- the ebay ad did not picture or  mention the exhaust tip rear valance- i was thrilled to see it, front bumper, and grilles. 

[twilt]

misc panels, trim, and rear glass.

[twilt]

rear bumper and tail lights, decklid.  decklid is very nice, outside the suface rust where somone started sanding on it.

[twilt]

All in all, it was a great day. Took an extra day off work, spent some time with the son, and scored some nice parts. doesnt get better than that.

Kinda sucks knowing a nice 73 Rallye got cut up though. Those seats are in way better shape then mine. Good score though

Here we go again!

Nice haul as usual. I'm soooo jealous. 

[Charger_Fan]

Looks like that car got picked pretty clean!

[tan top]

Hood ,fenders, doors,decklid, look in good shape,looks like original paint to me, lots of good stuff there

My guess is that a perfectly good restorable 73 Rallye 340 car  was cut up and donated some of its parts to a 73 or 74 satellite/roadrunner clone.
not a smart move in my book, but I dont worry about the things in life that i cant control.

  Whodda thunk a 3rd gen could fit in the back of a pickup. Who needs a trailer!

Awesome score - I am definetly jealous. 

[twilt]

wish i would have taken some pics of 2 similiar trips i made last year. Those loads were a lot bigger. They were both "tail gate down" trips as full length 72 1/4 panels wont fit in the bed with the gate up.  those two trips, i flew solo and also had the cab of the truck stuffed with parts too. couldnt hardly see out the passenger side to change lanes or shift the 5 speed.

[Shakey]

Good score.  Gotta love a road trip that includes bringing home some treasure.

[chargerkid]

Nice parts.  Do you know where I can get some 72 Rallye doors?  Someone out bidded me on a pair last night.  Oh ...I think it was you!

how could i resist at that price. Nice thing is that i have a brother who lives in NY, in the same town that the doors are located, that is going to pick them up for me.

DCG,   down here thats considered Yankee spellin. Georgia is DAWG country. 

[chargerkid]

I am actually glad I was outbid.  I don't feel like driving to NY.   I am picking up a 72 Rallye soon to restore.

Great pics of the country down there!

So here's the question,,  How much for all that Petty Blue treasure?

[twilt]

The whole load set me back $1225  here's a link to the auction.

Great Score!!  that hood has to be worth $1500

And no mention of the rear valance until you got there,, I love it when that happens.

[Goldfinger71]

I love it when a plan comes together!

[chargerkid]

$1500.00 for a 73 bulge hood?
So what's a 71 R/T hood worth?
So what's a 71 Superbee Hood worth?
What's a RamCharger hood worth?

Of couse the answer to all of the above is ..............whatever someone is willing to pay.
Seriously though,  the $1500 quote is too high. But......... the last Power Bulge hood that i saw on ebay, that the seller was willing to ship, bid up to $999. That figure and the fact that i could pick all of this stuff up, effected what i was willing to pay. Thats kind of scary if you want/need one. Personally, i would pay up to $600 for a nice one , but not more than that. Whats kind of ironic is that less than 2 years ago, i put a decent
72 power bulge on ebay with a BIN price of $525, was willing to ship it via greyhound,  and still  didn`t get any takers. At the time, i simply needed the money. In hindsight, i am glad no one bought it. I still have it and its not for sale.
