1972 Dart I picked up for a parts for myself
I had a 68 dodge Monaco, I loved that car, then the drunk driver wiped out the drivers side, it got totaled out by his insurance but I kept the car in hopes of fixing it someday, but in my city you can't even have ONE car sitting outside that isn't driveable, and it wouldn't fit in my garage, so off to the youstore yard where I
paid $35 a month to store it....... For 3 years
You can't work on them there, so there it sat,
Went out to get the police rallys off it to put on my duster, it had literally sunk into the blacktop about 1/2 an inch, and was slowly patina ing away to nothing
I briefly considered entering it in the demo derby at the local fair, but couldn't do that to her and found a guy that had a yard and only dealt with C bodies, Desotos, imperials, all that good stuff
He lived over 100 miles away, so I told him $200 come and get it, could have got more than that scrap price
Minute he saw it he said "that tilt telescopic column is going in my 68 Polara convertible the minute I get home, its even the right color"
Made me feel a little better
My story has nothing to do with the OP,but not a day goes by I don't remember her fondly, but some day ill find that 67 imperial or 59 Desoto and ill know right where to go to get the parts, and hopefully he'll give me as good a deal as I gave him
