C_stripes, how is that possible? And why didn't you keep some of them?

[C_stripes]

How is that Possible?

Well, Number 1, Very understanding parents. Number 2, I livid cars. All of my free time was spent looking for cars. I found, bought and sold two true HEMI cars before I was even 20. Number 3, I was not afraid to talk to people. If they had big dogs, bring them a treat. Be persistant. Ask people if they know of any cars. I put over 25K miles on my truck in one year. I was buying lots of cars uot of the Idaho Falls,ID area. They were cheap. I first started collecting cars when I was 14. I would just ask people what they wanted to do with their cars and sometimes they would just give them to me.

Why didn't I keep some of them?

Honestly, I got into drugs for a while. Very bad choice. Plus I sold lots of the cars to buy other cars.

  good pictures  ..would love to hear the 70 roadrunner story  sometime   

Part 1.

It was a August, 17 2002, Me and a friend drove to Idaho Falls to look for cars. When we arrived, we met another one of my friends and went searching. We looked around a bit and my friend Brian told me of an old wrecking yard he knew of in Mud Lake. He told me that there was a green 70 coronet 440 4dr in there that had a nice pass side fender. I needed one for my 70 Coronet 500 2dr. So we decided to cruise up there and take a look. Mud Lake is about an hour from Idaho Falls. So we arrive at this yard out in the middle of no-where. There is nothing around but fields for miles. So we walk out there and start looking around. There is a ton of GM stuff, Camaro's, Firebirds, Etc... I don't care for GM's. Finely I see the 70 coronet. We go and look at it and sure enough, the fender is nice. (much better than the one I had)  The whole front clip is nice. After looking at it for a few minutes, we carry on. As we are walking through, I see some Yellow through a window of a car. Hmm I think. So I climb over a car and there is a top banana 70 Road Runner. I think to myself. That's too bad. A 70 runner just sitting here rotting away. Then I walk over and see that it was a 4spd car. That's real sad. I notice that the tick-toc-tach is still in it though. I look at the fender tag and it has a N96 on it. Damn! An air grabber car. RM21R0G... Wait! What's R?  HMMM.  N is 383, V is 440+6 OMG!!! THIS IS A HEMI CAR! No way. So I call Brian over and we start looking at it. Neither of us can believe it. Mean while my other friend Trevor is asking us if this car over here is a pinto. I tell him to shut the f up and come check this out (He's not a car guy). Well I didn't have my camera. So we hop in my truck and drive 10 miles to Mud Lake and go to this shoddy little convenience store. $22 for a disposable camera? I don't care, I have to have it. We cruise back out there and take the pics you see on here plus pics of the green 70 Coronet. I wish I would have taken more. After we look at it some more and finely leave, I am asking Brian for the guys number. He gives it to me but tells me that no-one has ever been able to get him home. I am going to try anyway. There is a HEMI runner out there. So a few Hours later I get back here to Logan.....

That's all for tonight.

       part 2?      

[Tilar]

There's no way I could remember all the cars and trucks that I've owned.  By the time I was 24, I had owned 30 cars. That was 27 years ago, almost 28. I still have 10 right now, with only one that will not start and drive and that is my 68 Charger. A couple of them haven't ran in a while so they may not start very easily. I have a stack of titles for cars that I bought, drove home and then parted out and scrapped.

I hear ya. I use to part cars out and fix them up and sold them at my old house. I had at least 5 all the time to part. I was bored one day and counted around 500. Mostly mopars. I currently have 9 and a couple are for parts. I have slowed up on that. I think i only had like maybe a half dozen that I either sold or scrapped this year. There is a few other threads on here similar to this one.

When I get home, it is late. So I went to bed. The next morning I wake up early as I have to meet another friend and take him over to Neil's (musclecarprojects.com). I am also dropping the 66 Coronet  that I just drug home from IF off there. I start telling them that I had found a 70 HEMI runner up there. Neither of them can really believe it. I don't really blame them either.  So we leave Neil's and decide to go have breakfast. On our way to breakfast, we stop at the one hour photo to get the pics developed. Once we get to breakfast, me and Jim are talking about the car, He asks how many HEMI cars this is that I have found now. I tell him two. He asks how old I am. I tell him 19. He jokingly punches me in the shoulder and says, "You have found two HEMI cars and your 19. I have found none and I am 50!" It was pretty funny to me. After a while we go and get the pics and I give him a copy and we part ways.
Around noone, I get home and go to call the guy that owns the cars. I call up there and his wife answers;
She tells me that he is not home. I tell her that I found his wrecking yard and there are a few cars I would like to buy. She then tells me to wait just a second and she will go get him.  HUH! He wasn't home just a second ago. So we start talking and I ask him about the 70 coronet. He tells me $100. Then I tell him there is a 70 road runner on the other side of the yard and tell him it's pretty bad. He says he know the one and tells me $50. The butterflies are going crazy in my stomach. I set up a time to go meet him the next week end. I can't wait.

That's it for right now. Got to get ready for school. The best is still to come.

[PocketThunder]

If i didnt already know the ending to this story i'd be in disbelief by now...   

[69bronzeT5]

Everytime I hear that story, I still can't believe you got it for $50.

[Finn]

I ask him about the 70 coronet. He tells me $100. Then I tell him there is a 70 road runner on the other side of the yard and tell him it's pretty bad. He says he know the one and tells me $50. The butterflies are going crazy in my stomach. I set up a time to go meet him the next week end. I can't wait.

That's it for right now. Got to get ready for school. The best is still to come.

*Stops mid stroke*

[C_stripes]

I am so excited. So I call my friend Brian up in Idaho and tell him I got a-hold of him. He couldn't believe it. He wanted some suspension parts off of the coronet so we work it out so he pays half of the coronet. So we set up the time to meet on the following Friday. During the week, I tell a few people I know about the car. One being Joe Rubel? In West Virginia. I didn't really think anything about it.

The Following Friday, I head to Idaho Falls. I go to my friend Tom's and we get everything set up. Once that is done, we all just hang out and drink a few. I am very anxious for the next morning. 

At around six the next morning, Me, Tom, Colby, and Kenny all meet Brian and two of his buddies to go get the cars. We have to be out there and meet the owner at 7:30. We all cruise up there. It is a long drive. One reason being that it is just a super long drive and the other because I am excited. I can't wait. Once we pull in, the guy is sitting there in his truck. I give him $150.00 and he drives away. He didn't stick around for even a minute.  Brian and his buddies go over to the coronet to load it up and the rest of us go over to move cars out of the way to get the road runner. We had to move 4 or 5 cars. Once we got it to where I could get the trailer to it, we start lifting the car to get it on the trailer. Three of us and two handy man jack seriously put the car on the trailer. There was very little weight. I wish I would have had my camera. I don't know what I was thinking. Once the car was on the trailer, I had to try and find places to tie it down. There was nothing on the rear. It was all tied down in the front.  After it was loaded. I shot back down here to Logan. I got back at about 2:00pm. My parents couldn't believe I would even drag something like that home. I told them to watch, I would make lots of money on it. My Mom just rolled her eyes and laughed.

More tomorrow.

TELL ME HOW TO FIND CARS LIKE THAT!!!!!

Man, you are a very lucky dude!!!

I would take any vehicle on that list, especially the '70 Coronet or the trucks.

Lets just say that I have been told by many people that I have a knack for finding these cars. My friend Neil has said he thinks I can smell them. lol. To me, it is fairly easy when I have time to do so. But the biggest advice I can offer is open your eyes. When driving. watch the road, but look everywhere. You will find that there are allot more cars sitting there than you think. Now looking at my pics and the list of cars that I have owned, think of the X brand cars I have passed on. I have found lots of them to. I know of a 70 LS6 chevelle sitting next to a barn. I knew of a 67 Shelby GT 500 sitting in a shed. I know of a 64 tri power GTO sitting at the side of a house. I did end up getting one of my favorite GM's. I had a 71 Camaro SSRS for a short time. I know of a hugger orange 69 SS camaro sitting in a pasture too. It was still there about two years ago. I will see if I can find pics of these cars. I have to sort threw negatives and have them redeveloped. Also. the two HEMI cars that I have had are not the only HEMI cars I have found. I know of two other 67 Chargers and a 66 charger. 1 of the 67 being a 4spd car. it was just seized by the government though. It was listed in another thread. None of them are for sale though. The 67 4spd was a fairly well known car around here. I am trying to think of other real cool X branders I can think of. 69 GTO convert. 70 Rebel machine. 78 lil red express truck I can buy for $1000. 70 Z28 camaro. 64 tri power for galaxie XL. and many others.  Go look in the rurel areas. You will find cars. They are there.

[WingCharger]

You know, I have heard you say this several times, and I have been trying to do that. Just up the road from me, there is a 69-71 Sweptline Dodge truck, and it has been sitting there for four years. I just noticed it two weeks ago, and I keep begging my dad to take me up to see if the owner will sell it. I think the guy uses it as a wood hauler.

I just wish I could find a '70 B-Body.
Oh, your Duster is AWESOME!!! Love that grille.

[69bronzeT5]

Yeah, all it takes is looking and paying attention. For example, I've gone to this resort town a million times before but never payed attention to barns or anything. I want out there again last year and spotted a '69 GTO Judge sitting in a barn that I never noticed. So like I said, pay attention and look and you'll find stuff.

By doing that I've found:

-'64-'65 Barracudas
-'67 Camaro SS or RS
-'67 Chargers (2 in one place, 1 in another place)
-'67 Chevelle (2 in two different places)
-'68-'70 AMX
-'68 Charger
-'68-'69 Roadrunner
-'69 Dart GT
-'69 GTO Judge
-'70 Chevelle SS
-'70-'71 'Cuda
-'70-'71 Duster
-'70-'73 Firebirds and one Trans Am
-'70 Lemans
-'70 Roadrunner or Satellite
-'70 Superbee 440-6 4spd, plum crazy
-'70-'71 Torino GT convertible
-'70 Torino
-'71 Chevelle
-'73-'76 Duster
-'74 Challenger Rallye

I know I'm forgetting a few.

Part four.

I was still over excited about my new toy and it was still early. So I headed into town with it still in tow. I lived in a little town about 2o miles north west of Logan. I wanted to take it to Logan and show a few people I had told about it threw the previous week. So I bring it to Hawkers A-1 Auto in Logan, UT. These guys are probably the best High performance engine builders in Northern Utah. They are also a bunch of stand up guys and do great work. I recommend them completely. So I pull in and after a few minutes I have a crowd forming around the car. Several Mopar guys are standing there in astonishment. Here sitting on a trailer right in front of them is a un-touched beat up HEMI Road Runner. It's not very often that you get to look at a real hemi car. In today's world, it's even more uncommon to see one that is left untouched and beat up. So after it sat there for a few hours, I head off to Neil's. He is also shocked. He takes some pics of it and offers me $1,500 for it which I quickly turn down. He looks at it for a while longer still in somewhat of disbelief.  It is starting to get a bit late and I am tired so I head home. When I get there. My Mom and Dad just shake their heads at me. I then told them I had turned down $1,500 for it today. My Mom looks at me and says; "ARE YOU CRAZY?!? TAKE IT!" I told her that I was not sure if I was going to sell it or not yet and that it would take allot more than that to get it from me. She couldn't believe it.

Fast forward a few days.
I get a phone call from a guy. Do you have a HEMI road runner? I tell him yes. He says he wants it. I told him I was not sure if I wanted to sell it yet and we proceed to talk for a little bit. He asks if it has the fender tag to which I reply yes. He says again. "I want it!" I tell him that the car is ruff. He told me he didn't care and that he wants it. I then tell him that I had sold a 66 HEMI charger for $3,500 a few years ago and feel that this is worth more than that. I really was not sure I wanted to sell it yet. He told me he would send me $5,000 for it and I told him it was sold. That was a lot of money off of $50. So we make the arrangement and I hang up. I then walk up stairs and my Mom asks if I sold it kind of sarcastically. I look at her and say YEP! She sarcastically asks how much. I look at her and tell her $5,000. Her jaw dropped to the floor. It was awesome. I laughed my ass off. I then told my Dad and he couldn't believe it. I told them that It was going to Florida. So here is this car that has sat in this yard in the middle of nowhere since 1976, I forgot to mention it was a Teton flood car. And now it is off to Florida. Honestly. I kick myself for selling the car. I wish I wouldn't have. One real cool thing to mention is that I also owned another 70 road runner 383 4spd car that was build the same day at the same plant about 115 cars behind the HEMI car. I wish I still had that one too. It was a factory 4 color car. EV2 with black interior and hood stripe. White vinyl top and gold trunk stripe and dust trails. It was a N96 car also. Damn I had some cool cars.    All well.  I hope you enjoyed the story.  I have many others.

Later,  Jeremy

Thanks for the kind words on the Duster. This is one I am keeping. I always told myself if I ever got another 426 car that I was keeping it for sure. I guess I was not specific enough. This car was built on 426. So I have to keep her around.  lol. One day it will be a nice cruiser.

Have you ever heard of the law of attraction? Its a theory that basically says that if you believe it or think it enough. You will be surrounded by it.
That's why these Ghost hunters seem to be the ones that always run into ghosts. Or the ET guys that seem to get abducted by aliens. I believe in cars and love them. I eat breath sleep cars... until I started going to school. Now I have no time. 40 hours at work and 30 hours at school every week keeps me busy. That is probably to some credit to why I have found so many. There is no set way to find cars. Just open your eyes. They are there. be patient.
