I'm driving from Las Vegas to vermont to pick up a 68 charger and a ton of extra parts from the guy. Taking highway 40 to the 44 then the 70. Any cool mopar junkyards to visit on my journey?

If you are pulling a trailer - drop down to I-40 & take that across.

I just came across I-80 from Wisconsin - not the way to go particularly if the weather is bad ...  :scratchchin:

When are you going Chris? That's going to be a haul. Like 2600+ miles. I Google mapped the middle of Vermont as a reference.

Actually I'll be in Ohio during xmas.

Good luck on your travels. :cheers:

Lennard

He's on the road already. Last night he arrived in Ohio.

I take it it's hard to do on the road?   Oh well.  Enjoy the drive.  Watch out for the idiots out there cut you off or don't let you over.

If I find any cool mopar stuff I will, maybe the guy in Vermont knows of some places. This forum does suck for posting pics

No.  But I've been towing trailers forever.  Boats, travel trailers etc.  
Not at the scale of what you drive though.    :icon_smile_wink:
That's a bit big for my comfort zone.

I heard that too. Lucky the site is free, right?

Are you doing the Kowalski alertness regimen? Amphetamines and cigarettes?

XS29L

Your going to be a little over an hour south of me. In East Montpellier there is a guy that has a bunch of muscle cars that he wants tons of money for. Some cars are parts car only quality but it's a cool spot to checkout.  When do you expect to be in Vermont.  The weather is very mild for December.  
MOPAR OR NO CAR !!

One more thing , make sure to pickup some maple syrup to take home. You'll be glad you didn't !

I guess that is a NO on the aphetamines.....?

Lol naw...it definitely was an adventure getting this charger though. Had to go way off the beaten path of vermont, thru two lane dense wooded highway. Then off that 2 lane highway to basically a single lane wide old road thru a town if you sneezed, you passed it. Then down a single gravel road with old old houses. Then down a down hill dog leg single wide muddy dead end road with a steep hill on one end and a creek on the other, that if you stopped, you got stuck. Only to find that I had to turn around and there was no room. We had to disconnect  the trailer and drag it to the side by hand, turn it around and all while in the mud of course...then had to Austin Powers the truck just to end up getting stuck, after that fiasco we man handled the trailer up to the car just to find that the truck couldn't make it up the hill cuz of the mud. Eventually getting up the hill by zig zagging up it. We finally got the car loaded, strapped and kept the mph up when getting out of that mess so I didn't get stuck again.  Talk about out in the sticks...

Lennard

Wow, that doesn't sound like a fun road trip at all. :eek2:

Every 3rd house in VT has a yard full of junk on their property.
