About 94 I went by the local yard that I frequent and there, still on the owners rollback, was a 67 GTX. A little rust in the lower quarters and the heads were gone but otherwise a  very good project car.This thing was optioned out too, electric windows, magnum 500s, pwr steering, pwr brakes you name it. But of course I didn't have the extra cash and by the time I came back it had been totally raped. :'( (In hind sight I should have begged or borrowed the cash) In 97 or 98 I'm back again and there sits a 66 Charger. Bent and bruised, broken quarter window but basically all there. Now I've got visions of the GTX flashing thru my head and I knew if I didn't rescue that 66 (which I've allways liked ) the next time I saw it, it would be toast. Struck a deal with the owner and brought her home. Now almost 10 years later shes almost finished.

I knew one that went. Back in 82 a guy wanted to sell me a 69 Road Runner with a hemi that was rolled. I said I didn't have the 1000 he wanted for the motor & tranny. He came buy after stripping it of what he wanted and asked if wanted anything before he took it to the crusher. He had it over for about an hour and I removed some things. Ones that I scrapped to the crusher many years ago. 70 Charger 383 hp car. Stripped most and still have the parts. 69 GTS 340 Dart 4spd,71 383 RR, 73 340 Duster. Personally sent them to their grave prematurely  :brickwall: The good and....well stupid ole days.

You found those AARs? What happened to em?

I found the rolled AAR, with the "Trans UM" plate, in a junkyard in Manitoba. Since then, it's been relocated to southern Alberta, where my friend Kori happened to find it later.
As far as I know it's still sitting.

    I was wondering about the car that donated the wing car parts to the blue daytona you listed on pg 129.  Northern Quebec or something??

I'm not sure if its a junkyard or not...just a lot with a few old cars/ utility trucks / tractors that has an "Equipment For Sale" sign on the fence.

Rarest I ever spotted was a '53 Studillac at the old H&K wreckers in Antelope, Calif. back in the seventies. Everything there went to the crusher in '79.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

In 1991 I saw a complete '70 Charger R/T V code 440 Six-pack in a junkyard for $1500, it ran, it had a 4.10 Dana, disc brakes, minor Qtr. rust & a cherry front clip.

1968 CHARGER R/T CLONELOOKING FOR ANOTHER PROJECT 69-70 CHARGER SHELL

derailed

Rarest car I found in a junk yard was a carousel red (orange) 69 gto judge. When I was a kid the car had been parked down the street from my mothers house in somones backyard. I saw it being towed up the road one day and figured somone bought it. 2 years later I was in the salvage yard and saw it in there, still very restorable by todays standards.

 I have a 68 road runner front disc brake car here in the salvage yard , 72 charger, 72 duster, 71 dart, 67mustang ,89 shelby csx  none extremely rare but a starting point ( lots of 80-90's mopars)   
  We mostly sell late model insurance parts so i try to buy 95 and newer salvage but being a mopar guy i get what old stuff i can .
  We have only been in buisness 3 years but we have about 750 cars.
