salvage yard in oklahoma *not dial-up friendly* UPDATE 12/31/05

[RD]

just a couple of pics, first salvage yard i visited (its right across from my in-laws).   Will get more pics throughout the day and put in this thread.

[Nacho-RT74]

from pics I can see several good stuff like:

-Passenger side mirror on the Dart GT sport, GUYS, AS FAR I KNOW IS THE SAME THAN SECOND GENS CHARGERS. and that Dart has both sides ... remote controled.

-Same about the Cordoba to 3rd gen Chargers, even pedestal is different, and pass side is remoted same as driver.

-Shame the satellite is 73 not a 74, because the interlock seatbelt system... BUT HEY, THE CORDOBA COULD IT HAS IT... anyway both can be equiped with rear sway bar... look at the plates

-The Dart GT has hanging out front 3 points seatbelts, so maybe that one it could have also the interlock system.

-an Uncle has a 73 sedan dart, so if some of those A bodies have an AM/FM Radio would be great ( same about the satellite to me )

[Charger_Fan]

 Thats not near the grass fires is it?

[RD]

here is two pics of a 440 i just picked up for a whoppin' $150.00    I think its a 75 or 76, but no matter, its standard bore.  The guy thought he was selling me a 400, oh well, i knew the difference

[RD]

not a mopar, but cool as hell.  a cyclone GT, right behind the salvage yard's office

[RD]

two darts on a hill...  and yes, you guessed it, a hang 10 duster (look at the faded decal on the quarter panel)

[RD]

a 4dr /6 powered belvedere, another 73 satellite sebring 318 and a ?? 64 ?? dart ??

[RD]

72 duster, 73 Charger SE (a gnarled heap of a charger at that!), a 63 (i think) chrysler imperial, and a 65 (i think) plymouth 4 dr fury

[Charger_Fan]

Wow, look how straight that grille is on that red Dart!

[Nupe]

Cool pics!   Makes me want to go yardin' around here, but don't have any snow shoes.     

[RD]

an 833 OD 4spd for MOPARGUY01, how do you like that budro! i am your fav now huh? hehe   a cool 71 dodge monaco with a 383 and 8 3/4 rearend (check out those hidden headlights!), a 65 or 66 coronet 440 4 dr, and a 68 dodge polara 383 car (runner)

[RD]

now for the non mopars, this cadillac was really cool!

[Nacho-RT74]

the red "72 duster" ( white interior ) I don't think is a 72 I would say is a 74/75, becasue the kind of seatbelts.

OOOH !!! THAT HANG 10 

[RD]

and here are some fastback mustangs that are just thrashed!!!   I mean these could have been really cool, but nooooooo.... they ended up as either sawzall projects or arson victims!!! arghhhh (i like ford right after dodge if you couldnt tell)

RD,

you keeping the good pictures for your self....

hell yes!  no not really, I took pics of all that was there that may interest you guys.  I did not take a pic of the 76 roscoe (green) plymouth fury if that is what you mean hehehe

Thats not near the grass fires is it?

no, the grass fires are far away from this place.

Well, to finalize this:  I went to three salvage yards.  the first one had the first four pics.  The second one had just crap there, but did have a 440 and about 4 360's lying around that I may pic up at a later date.  The last yard had the rest of the pics and a 440 in a newport (not shown) with a packrat living in there, and I believe to be 3 other cars with 383's in them.  I will inquire about all of those tomorrow when I get there ( I arrived late to the yard today and the proprietor was not around to quote prices on).  If you guys see anything you like and cannot live without, now is the time.  Tell me and if the price is reasonable I will pick it up and ship it to you.  All I ask is that you pay for the part plus shipping from my residence.  I will include a receipt from the yard so you will know that you are getting exactly what you paid for.

the interlock system was available on 74/75 only as far I know... and only would need:
-Rear bench complete black seatbelts with bolts set ( from any year since these ones haven't nothing to do with interlock ) I don't think body kind will be different really between seatbelts itself, but would be better remove from a B body just in case.
-undercarpet wiring. Is a harness located between the kick panel passenger side cith a 8 terminals plug ( but I think only 7 wires ) and three plugs on the other side, one to passenger bucket, and two to the female seatbelt buckles.
-Reset button and pigtail ( or complete engine harness ) located on engine bay.
-4 prongs buzzer located around glove box area.

On pic you can see the harness I'm talking about

Hello, I have been buying parts and cars from that last yard for quite a while. Those are 400 engines, not 383's, I have already checked. The reason all of the sport mirrors and good trim is gone on those A Bodies is because I bought it all. The 64 is a New Yorker not an Imperial. The red 64 Dart has had wheel tubs put in it and looks like someones feeble attempt at a race car. The Hang Ten was almost 100% complete when I started on it. I got all of the useable interior, the disc brakes, the floor shifter setup and steering column from that car. The fold down rear seat is out in my storage shed right now. The car with the huge rats nest under the hood has a 383 NOT a 440. The 68 Monaco 4 door is a real complete solid car it just needs a good home. The owner quoted it to me for 800.00. That is not a bad deal but I do not think I can make any money on it so I passed. This yard has a TON of Mustangs and other Fords as the owner is a SERIOUS Mustang guy. You will NOT get a deal on the FORD stuff but he is fair on the MOPAR parts. I am actually amazed you found it as it is REAL buried and not advertised at all.

[Nacho-RT74]

Uh Ohhh and sway bar isolated to isolated springs plates ...

I'm looking with attention the belt iddler of the 440 you get hehehehe

why did you tear up that hang 10?  if it was almost a 100% complete, you should have kept it that way IMHO.  That car is pretty darn rare if you know what I mean.

Hello. that car had been sitting there for years before I got to it. It may have been somewhat complete but that is not to say it was nice!! The floors are rotted, the interior was rotton and the dash was already cut up pretty badly. I made WAY more money off that car in parts than I could ever have made by buying it whole and trying to sell it as a builder.

that's cool, I have done that many times before.  thanks for the explanation though, that was nice of you.  where are you located?  I am in 8 miles west of tahlequah on highway 51 at my in-laws.  Maybe we can meet up tomorrow just to say hi to a fellow member and all.

doing great Christian.

the only 68-70 b body was a 4 door and it was pretty much gutted (look at pics)

[RD]

who was it out there that wanted a fury roscoe car?  this one is special.... it has a special handling package, though I did not see any rear anti-sway bar   weird

[Charger_Fan]

That's strange how there's numbers above the "end" on that first tag...maybe it's common on the later model ones?

Geez, that brown '69 Mach is a bummer. Did you check the VIN number to see if it was something other than a 351W car?
