Hey all,

Just thought I'd share some pics I took while combing through a salvage yard.  Most of the stuff has been picked clean, and the rest is rusted through (well at least the 68-69 Charger's I saw).

The last ones are of a 69 R/T that is going to be restored, according to the person who sold it.

Reminds me of a Junkyard here in Detroit. Only this Junkyard had Harley Earl (designer/concept/prototype maker) Cars junk in the Yard. Hard to believe. LEON.

Not a problem. I figured you guys and gals would enjoy them.  It is a shame that there are a lot of classics out there rusting away.  There is one door and a back bumper that I might try and save out of those chargers, but it all depends on how much the owner will ask for them.

I want parts off the green 71 charger :o   How were the trunk floors on those 68-69 chargers ???

Thanks for the photos but its a shame  :rotz:

Thanks, great Pictures ! Too bad, I've seen people trying to fix worse cars than some of those.
Only wimps wear Bowties !

Most of those 3rd gens look like they had pretty rust free panels on em compared to what you find around here...  The green 71 in the middle of the pile is a shame.  Was it that nice on the other side too?

Hey Da' Charger Guy!
Your Cars twin is here...



lots of good stainless there to my eye...  :scope:

"I want parts off the green 71 charger     How were the trunk floors on those 68-69 chargers?"
That 71 wasn't too bad.  It looked to be the best one out there as far as 2nd and 3rd generation Charger's go.  The trunk floors were shot to sh#t, on the 68 and 69's.
 

"is that chally green go? or lime it looks like green go on my moniter?"
To be honest I don't know.  In person it looked more of a green than a lime color.


"Great photos Fernando!  I'm a fan of salvage yard tours and enjoy sharing my photos with all of you.

Nothing to it.  I'm glad you all liked them.  Since I got pricked by some thorns it makes it all worthwhile knowing at least you all liked them.   


"where is that place?  i can tell its in texas"
It is in Seguin, Texas, about 40 miles east of San Antonio.  The place is called John's Salvage. 


"Thanks, great Pictures ! Too bad, I've seen people trying to fix worse cars than some of those."
Well that 69 R/T is going to be quite a headache in my opinion.  The person who bought it must be financially secure and must have LOTS of time on his/her hands because it really is bad.


"I see a whole bunch of stuff there that's quite usable, including whole cars. Nice pics!"
The Chargers were pretty much stripped inside and out.  The stuff that was left on the Chargers was either rotting, had a really bad hit, or you name it.  If there had been anything worth buying, trust me, I would have bought it.  I saw two fastback Barracuda's that weren't too bad, and the 3rd generation stuff was actually pretty darn good.   


"Most of those 3rd gens look like they had pretty rust free panels on em compared to what you find around here...  The green 71 in the middle of the pile is a shame.  Was it that nice on the other side too?"
I believe it was or it might have been hit around the quarter panel area, but it was in pretty decent shape.


"lots of good stainless there to my eye..."
Yes, actually there was some decent stainless stuff still there.  But, the stuff is pretty pricey.  I paid $80.06 for this panel that is right under the filler deck.  I don't know the actual name for it, but it is rotted on my '69 so I had no choice.  So I guess it wasn't that pricey after all. :P

those white headrest on the demon/duster look pretty cherry too..

damn I see some ggod parts. I could never figure out wht yards stack cars. It's dangerous (I'm sure I 'm not the only one dumb enough to climb inside stacked cars) and it destroys parts. Wish there were yards like that around here./ Thnaks for sharing.

looked like lots of good 3rd gen stuff, thanks for the pictures.
