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.

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

Nice haul as usual. I'm soooo jealous.

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.

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!
