Stash of Mopars and 392 HEMI's (dialup warning) UPDATED! Tennessee

[skip68]

 I know this is old but I'm giving this guys phone number out if anybody needs some parts (glass, trim, panels, motors, tranny's, cars or some 392 HEMI's.   

   I found this older guy out of town that has lots of mopars.  Chargers, Coronets, Darts, RR's, ect.  He also has about 6 to 10 hemi engines, most are in pieces.  He has 8 or 9  4spd cars and tons of parts.  Most of the cars are parts cars but some can be saved and I'm going to buy some of them.    I took some pics and will get them posted soon.  I have to go back and take a better look in a day or two, it was getting dark when I got there today.    I will take alot more pics of more cars when I go back.  He also has at least 20+ 383's and at least 20+ 440's,  AND HE WILL SELL ANYTHING TO ME THAT I NEED.      This guy seems to be a nice guy and that's cool.  Now I can get the thumbwheel radio, headrest, gas cap, wood grain steering wheel, HEMI engine (depending on price) and some other odds and ends plus a few more cars.  Today was a good day for me.      Chuck............

Great find

[TruckDriver]

Some people have all the luck

[kab69440]

If it isn't too much trouble, see if one of those dozens of 383's is an early 69 mill. 102459 is the magic sequence number... The last I heard, the engine and tranny for my car were in a pickup truck just over the border from TN in Austin, Kentucky. Maybe they installed my fender tag on it, too...   Thanks in advance, man.   Kenny

[tan top]

awesome find dude  , defiantly need to see pictures :popcorn:
a real long shot ,but i wonder if he has any  -  E 440  HP / HP2  motors out of  a charger R/T , & what are the VIN's ................................ as mine is MIA   .. you never know

[skip68]

I'll write that number down and do my best to look for you. I am going to help hook everyone here up that I can with parts or engines but I'm sorry to say I'm not ready to give up the location just yet.       Chuck......... I think I'll spend a day and write down numbers.

[Shakey]

Sounds very interesting, looking forward to the photos!   

How did you come to find this guy and his stash?

[Forza]

Feel free to let me know if he has any 68's layin around 

[hemigeno]

That's a pretty incredible find!  There are lots of us who are curious to know whether their car's #s matching engine is in his stash, myself included (especially the hemi blocks).  It'd be great if you could post at least a partial sequence number from those blocks, and we could figure out if it's close and get back with ya.

That really is awesome!



Oh, and if any of those "junker" cars are Hemicars, you'd be amazed at how bad of a car can be saved these days.  Years back they were looked at as scrap, but the pro's can save almost anything - and the value of the end product makes it economically feasible to do that.  I know of a '70 HemiGTX that was rusted so bad it nearly broke in two pieces when they tried to load the car.  You'd never be able to tell it isn't showroom-new now...

[1958300]

I am in Chattanooga, and I am looking for parts or whole cars, specifically 1972 chargers and 1969 barracudas. I would also love to buy a hemi. please let me know if there is anything in the stash I can use, and I can make a quick run up to Springfield. Please call me at 423-580-9925.
thanks, Phillip

???I think your asking a lot since he just found them. A lot of us are looking for what you want

[skip68]

OK guy's, I got today off so I can go back up there.  There is a 68 there that's got bad pass. side damage and had the tail cut off. There is a few 72 or 73 chargers and a 66 or 67 charger, 4 or 5  69 chargers, a 69 383 4spd coronet, ect. ect.  Most of them have been stripped and the parts are in some buildings.  The HEMI's look like 392's (I took a peek this morning) but I'll have to ask about all of the ones that are apart in the shop. I didn't ask to much last night because I did not want to look to excited.  I'm going to get VIN numbers off the cars and check all the motors I can for you guy's. I will then post them so I hope it helps.  He also has a 70' Challenger 6pk car that was wrecked and I think he said that 3 or 4 of the dart's were 340 cars.  So I would guess he has some 340's lying around as well.    I'LL BE BACK.   Chuck............

[Chad L. Magee]

Look the Chargers over carefully incase there happens to be a rare one in the mix.  The sixpack Challenger should be worth big bucks if it is not too far gone to fix.  Most likely, the hemis probably will be the older ones, since they are not held as highly as the 426s, but you can still build them up for respectible performance.  Hope one is a 426 for you.  Just the stash of 440s, 383s sounds like a really good find nowdays........

[LargerCharger383]

 

very cool!

[ChargerSG]

I wish i could run across something like that

[skip68]

And I'm back again. I just scored me a 69 wood grain steering wheel for $10, a set of headrest with the hardware in great shape for $25, and a thumbwheel radio for $30.    I didn't get numbers of engines yet but did look at the 68-70 charger V.I.N.'s.  They are H-codes and the one 68 that he has, has no numbers.  Someone bought the fender and Vin tags a while back.  I'll get some pics in a few and then have my wife E-mail them to someone here to post for us because we are dumb.  Just give me a few days to get the stuff I want and then I will give up the rest to you guys.  Oh, yes he does have some HP 383 and 440 engines.I will do my best to help anyone here out but as you can guess I'm first, and then I'm going to get some stuff for our Charger brother AirborneSilva becuase most of you guys here know what happened to him with his car.   AND IF ANY OF YOU GUYS CAN SPARE SOME PARTS ( AND SOME OF YOU KNOW YOU CAN )  GIVE AirborneSilva A PM AND HELP TAKE CARE OF ONE OF OUR OWN.     THERE ARE ENOUGH GOOD PEOPLE HERE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.  THANK'S,...........CHUCK.........................

Transfer your pics from your camera to a 3.5 floppy then they will load right up on the site when you click browse.

[whitehatspecial]

Nice find! Does he have any 340's? Heads, blocks, intakes?

[mikepmcs]

Chuck, you know who to email the pics too. 

Great find brother.  Say hi to Lisa and Nick and the rest of the family (but Nicks the only one I can id by name), and where's my dang CD(of your stuff) already.

Mike

[ChargerSG]

If there is a Hp 383 with 0B196875 on it please let me know

[hemi-hampton]

How much $$ does he want for the wrecked 6pak Challenger? LEON.

[dukeboy_318]

I hate to sound greedy and add another question to this thread, but how much does he want for the first gen charger?  Man, you one lucky son of gun thats for sure.

[skip68]

Ok guys, My wife is going to send the pics to Mike so it will be soon.  I am still going to take alot more pics of cars and the rows of engines.    Today I found 2 barracudas, one was auto and the other is a 3spd on the tree. I'll get pics of those as well. If you guys see something in the pictures that you want to know about just ask and I'll get the info as best I can.  Man, I've got so many more pictures to take and alot of reading numbers.   I could make a whole website about mopars rotting in fields from this guys place.       Chuck...............

[bordin34]

Too bad you are so far away. I really want a 340 o well. Just so you know bronze would like to use those pics for his website whenever you post them.

[AZ-Nick]

if you find any 392 motors please let me know, I am looking for one as complete as I can get.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

If you can PM me some of those 69 VIN's I greatly appreciate it

[skip68]

O.K. Guys,...calm down,....I just e-mailed alot but not all of the pics. to Mike and he is currently working on resizing them for us and he is going to post them up in a bit!  I'll send him more tomorrow! hahahah (Mike...beware!!!!) Thanks again Mike!
Mrs.Skip68

[mikepmcs]

ok, here we go, the first installment of pics, there's 25 so be patient.  I might ask Chuck to add a "dial up beware" on his original title.

Sounds very interesting, looking forward to the photos!   

How did you come to find this guy and his stash?

Thanks for sharing the photos.   

Now, how did you come to find this guy and his stash?

[skip68]

Well Shakey, I was doing my normal thing of driving down back roads looking for cars.     I found a 73 RR and some other cars at a place and asked if they were for sale. The RR was but it's got too much rust for me. Anyway's,  I was telling my brother about the RR and he said he might know a guy that has some old cars. You see, my brother doesn't know cars so when I said Roadrunner he was thinking like a Firebird.  He showed me the guys house but it was late so I figured I'd go back in a day or so.  When I went back I met the guy and got talking for awhile and he said he had no mopars but did have some 80's mustangs and 70's Firebirds and Camaro's. This guy used to haul cars for a living back in the day for scrap. Well we kept talking and I was telling him about my car and he said "Oh, you mean the cars with the gas cap on top of the fender?"  He then told me about his buddy that used to buy all the mopars from him and said he had 2 original hemi cars and like 100 plus other mopars. Man I was thinking OH MY GOD.    He told me the town and road the guy lived on but didn't know the address. But that was all I needed.  I thanked Bubba C. (which was his name by the way) came home and found the road on mapquest. Then I did the satellite photo's and just looked for a place that had lots of cars and I found three.  I went out the next day and knocked on doors and found the guy on the second knock.  And the rest is history.     Chuck..........

[69_500]

Find out how much he would want for one of those 69 Charger's. I see some parts on a few of them that I'd be interested in.

Cool story!  Good detective work!  Oh yeah, good score on those parts also.   

[skip68]

I'm going back today I think and I will ask about the 69's.  Man, I've got so many questions and still more photo's to take. I think there is 2 1970 chargers. 

[hemi-hampton]

That last dark Picture looked like a 70 R/T Charger, Wonder how much he wants for that, Dont forget to ask about the wrecked 6 pak Challenger, Curious? THANKS, LEON.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

wow man!  what a stash.  makes me wish I had a huge building and unlimited amount of money.  I've been to a few places like that in Indiana.  stunning....

[Back N Black]

Awesome find ,still amazes me how many muscle cars are out there waiting to be discovered!

[skip68]

I just sent some more pictures to mike and he will post, hopefully soon!  Mr.Skip68

Using satellite photos to find hidden chargers...how space age is that!!

[skip68]

hemi-hampton, That last picture is a real R/T 6pk car that he has had since 1974.  He said it's a 69    Maybe he put 70 doors on it? I'll check the V.I.N.  When he got the car in '74 the engine had already been changed so the 6pk is gone.  BUT, for some reason I bet he's got a 6pk setup out there.    Man, he's had that car for 33 years.      Chuck..............

[mikepmcs]

Some more pics.

[Charger-Bodie]

that last one looks like kindof a dog!

[TruckDriver]

I bet there are some BIG spiders in there in the summer

The cars look fairly picked clean

[skip68]

Most have been picked clean and alot of the parts are put away.(doors, hoods, fenders, trim, gauges, ect.)  Thank's Mike.    Chuck.......

Through the miracle of modern science, (often used by erstwhile satelite-utilizing junkyard seekers), these pictures are now lightened, for your viewing pleasure.

Thank's Magnumcharger.     That's pretty cool.

[472 R/T SE]

It looks like he thought highly enough of the '69-'70 Charger to be putting it under cover?

Cool pix, nice work. 

[Lowprofile]

Nice job skip68. Good Find!

[hemi-hampton]

With that Picture Lightened up I can see it's a 69 with 70 doors. One thing though, They never made a 6 pak Charger in 69. LEON.

[Charger_Fan]

With that picture lightened up, I can tell there's a pole there, I couldn't even make that out before.

Nice find, Man! This is the best time of year to go out hunting too, before the plants have grown all their leaves & the bugs are still mostly hibernating.
The roof on that blue '70 looks just about perfect for someone needing a roof.  That poor yellow '68 is pretty much toast. 

[skip68]

Well guys, I'm bringing this back to pass on the contact info.   If you see something you need (trim, glass, panels or a few 392 HEMI's) I can give you his phone number.  He is about 40 miles North of Nashville Tennessee.   

[buie1289]

Welp, if he's OK with you giving out his phone number, I'd like to get it as I live about 40 miles from him. Badly in need of a few 3rd gen parts. Can you PM me with it?

Thanks!

[skip68]

    PM sent.

[SG1022]

ahh!!! My 73 SEs are trashed
