Well  I  dont know.  Also, I am pretty sure on the years.  I would have to check closer.  He said he would sell anyting.  I can take pics in the Spring and you could always make an offer.  I would say reasonable.

Where you located.

Heck, I'm interested to the the '69 Sport Satillite & the '68 coronet. I'd make the drive there to get it if I had to and there reasonably good yet.

I cannot say much as they are in snow.  I went to look to get the frame rails from a 69 charger. 

I will let you know.... I think alot of them have been sitting for years.... So you know what can happen,

Well he said to check with him,, This will happen over the next two years.   THe EPA is on his case heavy.

He is happy to sell what he can as he would get better than scrap price. 

NOTE I will be happy to help anyone OUT in getting things.   KEEP IN MIND it is 2 Hrs from me....

"The green hornet returns?"

[miamivice]

Sadly I they dropped the one on its lid for awhile... So the one I picked up is NOT.

The other well not much better that what you have... SLightly... I am sure I could get it cheap but the sail pannel is rusted as well I think the top edge.  I will take pics next time and show them to you.

Blown70 - they cleaned up every salvage yard in the province here about 20-25 years ago. There was one about 2 miles from where I lived 30 years ago, and in that one alone there'd be tewrrific Mopars and parts to retire off of eGouge.
More bees. runners, R/Ts than you could shake a stick at. Probably like 25% of Ron Slobe's when he was at his peak. I was away for a three month period and when I got back a few buddies broke the news. A national monument or shrine destroyed for scrap. There was an almost mint 1968 Coronet 500 ragtop with no engine/tranny that I was always going to tow out when I got the time. A$$ kick time for the last 20 years.

I wonder what "harm" these cars were doing now that they didn't do in junk yards for the past 50-60 years. As for oil and gas it came out of the earth and goes back in. I'm not saying pour the stuff on the ground but it can't be logical to crush thiusands of dolars worth of parts- ireplaceable parts? thinking that it will clean up the ground.
                                                                    it's just sad. John

Yes, I know I saw the tail of dart/scamp,  Please understand I know chargers... RR, Satellites, etc,  I am not as good on.

I Have not SEEN any newer 4X4 but will look next time.
