well, I spent the last year trying to get another street car so I could, then I took out the interior, and then money ran out...then I got the "job offer" from the race team up in MI, so this way I can get myself some kinda Charger (the '66-'74 ones) and go drifting in that instead. And maybe buy a second one for street use...or maybe get the race one liscensed...i dunno.

Look at the bright side, it'll probably end up as a Chinese tool in Harbor Freight. You can buy a 200 piece ratchet set for $9.95 next year, & everytime you use it it'll remind you of the LeBaron.   :D

So how much is scrap metal bringin' these days?  If you got more than 50 bucks for that pile of crap you ought to be ashamed of yourself...

That part was just an inside joke. The car ddin`t have a crate hemi or 4 speed/pistol grip.

Darn, only 50 bucks.  did you sell  it to a junkyard instead of a metal recycling place?  Last year I got $150+  for the stripped out hull of a 73 charger filled up with junk.

no 50 bucks is what you get at most JUNK YARDS. Scrap yards pay you for the weight of the metal. and its usually at minimum 100 bucks if you have hardly anything left of the car, i've had shells bring in almost 300 bucks before, granted it had some extra steel inside it.

steel is up around 80-100 bucks a ton last time I checked. and MOST mopars weighed quite a bit more than a ton.

Hey don't sweat it. You lost maybe $150.00, it's not like you sold a Hemi RR for $2500.00.
