Can't bring myself to part this rare 340 car out

Definitely in some cases, but I don't think there is anything worse for the present and future of the hobby, than the guy that scours all around and buys every damn AFFORDABLE broke down, no longer wanted, tore apart project, neglected, etc old Mopar and parts it out, so he can add to his ego boosting stash of parts. I'm talking about the guys with HUGE volumes of parts. He might sell some, but usually just wants everyone else to know what he has. I've seen many times where these guys threaten to scrap their stuff if somebody doesn't agree with their prices or doesn't come with a semi and a boatload of cash immediately, when they decide to allow their horde to be sold. To me that shows what they really think/feel about cars, that they are just ego feeders and cash cows. A lot of those cars could have been a teenagers first car. A father and son project. An old dreamer's nostalgia ride. I've been around. I've seen huge parts/ car stashes many times. I have a bunch of ****. But they difference is those guys did NOT go out and grab a bunch of cars to just cut up. True parts cars are a huge part of our hobby, of course. But it seems to me that actual, affordable cars are a pretty damn big part of it also. Maybe the OP will eventually part that Dart, but just reading his comments shows his integrity towards cars, unlike the stripper's/borders.
I’ve seen so many motorcycles and cars I would kill to have as projects parted out and cut up for various tiny or meaningless reasons it is sickening.

The rare times I’ve been able to buy “un-titleable” cars that were for parts only it took nothing but a day and a trip or two to the DMV to have a worthwhile vehicle.

And all the “where will we get parts” crowd aren’t paying attention to the phases of fad-builds, the pro-streets, rat rods, or billet crowds that come from time to time and dump parts at dirt cheap prices because they’re “worthless junk”

Speaking of “buy it or I’ll scrap it crowd” I’ve seen a 440 that didn’t sell on here get scrapped (guy admitted he made $20 or something off it instead of taking $200 from someone else) and countless other non mopar stories of the same variety (2nd gen Fbody GM, Rare ford parts (427 toploader combo) Z1 kawasaki, etc)
Between the scrappers and the relentless parting out, the hobby will be very different in the near future
