Can't really tell the story right now... but here are some finds from the weekend.  Mark and Scott from Rockford showed me around.  Enjoy!

...waiting on the rest of the story

So is anything for sale or are they all going to be resorted someday?  I am in the Milwaukee area and I have a friend that may be interested in one of those Challengers.

There isn't a big "WOW" end of the story, just the story about what we did to find the cars.

And nothing is for sale, except maybe the 71, but I'm trying to get that one.

[gschmidt211]

Good luck with your attempt to purchase a '71.  I love to see these fields full of cars that are just rotting away with none for sale.  That is awesome for the hobby.  I can't buy them all and save them, but I am doing my part with my '72 Charger Rallye that I pulled out of a junk yard.  I am sure that someday he will use all the parts and or finish every car and get them back on the road.  Or maybe they will just rot away and be of no use to anyone.  Who knows what the future holds.

cool pics.... too bad nothing for sale though....

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Yeah, sad to see them in such shape and have nothing for sale, except for the 71 Challenger... I'm working on that one.

The 71 Road Runner is a parts car, as is the 71 Satellite, an original sassy grass green car.

So who knows.

Can't really tell the story right now... but here are some finds from the weekend. 

When have we ever gotten the whole story from you?

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

I don't know, I think I get pretty much the whole picture into my blogs... which I really need to update.

 What a shame. 

[Brock Samson]

cool safari! thanks! 

[dodgeboy67]

any chance those pics are from the pearl city illinois area?.....

[The70RT]

Looks like the ones haflway inside are worthless compared to the ones outside. Im sure they will be for sale someday....like when he dies.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

These are all from different locations, but I believe that the 442 was in Pearl City.  But we went everywhere, I don't remember half the places we went.

[dodgeboy67]

i grew up in the area, i am sure that i am  familiar with more than one of those cars......in fact , i might even have tried to buy that orange car with the black hood shortly after i got my liscense. if it is the same satellite sebring i am thinking it is. the 442 has been sitting for years.
