Saw that when they first posted it, I thought about going to strip all the good stuff but finances prevented it. It's been there a month tomorrow probly stripped or crushed!!
 
Fenders, valance, grill, headlight rings look good. Original looking hubcaps also.
Somebody go pull those parts. Too far for me.
 
I was there Saturday.

Got the buddy seat bracket from the 74 Charger- $3.

The "pickers" are getting lazy.

I found a decent screwdriver (which I used to chisel the sheet metal around the welds in the Charger), a lighter (quit smoking a few years ago, but never know when you'll need one), a couple dimes, and a tire gauge. There were about a hundred pennies in one of the vans.

That 74 Charger looks like it had Tabco quarter patches on it. Small ammount of rust, but looks like they could be cut under the weld and reused. Also looks like they were galvanized.

There was ANOTHER 74 Charger at Big 3!

I should have at least got the two remaining hubcaps from that Valiant.
 
I would love to have the whole entire car, I don't care if it has a title or not. Any possibility that the whole car could be bought if the frame and cowl are not rotted? Gosh, I'd love it.
 
most u pull its do not sell whole cars. they deactivate the title when they send it in to the state dmv. they might? though, sell it in sections, piece by piece. more money for them anyway, in seperate parts.
 
Fenders were still there as of 8/3.

One looked like it might have had a small dog leg repair.

Hood was OK, but had minor repair under lip.
 
Front seats were gone- were mounted with hardware store hinges.

Rear seat was reupholstered in blue velour, but looked to be in good shape.

Cluster was present but almost removed (almost got it).

Six was still there.
 
I had a local friend run by to scope out the sheet metal, which is what I'd be interested in. Sadly, he says it was mostly bondo and primer.
 
Got the trim rings. They were beat to hell. Virtually nothing else was of value on the car. It was all Bondo and primer. Sorry. :-/
 
No problem. It was a shame really. Someone had removed the grille, mangled it, then threw it in the trunk. Just good for a few fasteners really.
 
Too bad.

I wish I could find fenders as nice as those for my 72!
 
I just need the bottoms rears, dog-legs, of the front fenders. If anyone could go there and see if the dog-legs of the fenders are good and cut them off and send them to me for a reasonable price, let me know. Thanks
