I guess junkyard A-bodies are all gone now

Amazing just how short sighted you guys are. I bought a 69 Cuda at the end of 69. But even today it is not worth the same dollars that a new challenger is bringing. You guys hear stories about how "someone" bought a car for salvage price then parted it out for big money and all of a sudden you demonize them as "flippers". There are more"collector" cars sitting on blocks that are owned by"hobbyists" that will someday build them when the parts prices drop! Good luck with that! I saw a 68 barracuda coupe that had chrome duct tape around the rear glass because the owner was too cheap to buy a good set of trim. You don't have the aftermarket because "you won't buy the parts"! And it don't take a brain surgeon to understand that GM and Ford guys have bought the parts structure and now they have reasonably priced parts. You can waaah,waaah,waah all you want about prices/flippers and blame everyone and everything else but "you" are to blame. You can wait for the "hoarders" to die and their stupid uninformed relatives to sell their stash but the reality is 90% of the time the parts are either crushed or sold to other "hoarders". If you really like these cars buy the parts build the cars and drive them. Or of course you still have the option of starting more threads about the "crazy high prices" of chryslers!!!!

oh there is some truth in this for sure...


the other part there is so little mopar repopped parts out there because chrysler scrapped the dies for a ton of **** in the 70's when it was almost no more. any part that someone wants to make has to be done from scratch now..
