I'm super excited to go to this older gentlemens place to look at stuff I don't need... Hopefully he is fair with his prices. My bank limits my atm withdrawl amount but I got some cash (never enough). Would have had double but my wife needed me to buy another puppy yesterday... I also have paypal.

My daughter is super excited to go look at old cars as well.

Now the question is how much forgiveness am I going to have to ask for when I get home....

Thats my motto as well. I bought my wife not 1 but 2 puppys the past 2 days... so I told her she can't complain if I come home with old mopar gold...

Puppies and old Mopars are about equal as far as joy and frustration goes...
So mathematically, does 2 puppies = 2 Mopars?
 
Always reframe the situation to make it positive.
"this new pile of parts and cars will be passed on to our kids"
or
"these parts are an investment and will hold our money value better than cash in the bank"
:lol:
 
Just tell your wife that your daughter really wanted a new project car, she'll totally understand! 65'
 
Nice find Doc.

Offer to buy the lot.

So sad to see so much gold getting ready to rott away or be scrapped when the owner passed away.
 
I have tried to get a chance to go look at this stuff in person.
Gotten no reply. Would have gone there this weekend had he replied.
I'm looking for any M46 e body parts. They have black out's on the bottom of the fenders and doors with a white and red stripe above the black out. If anything has the original mopar black out please take pictures for me so that I can hound the guy and get out there to buy them. Here are some details on what I'm after if you have the time to look. Thanks,

Lots of E body stuff. Fenders, doors, hoods, seats and more... this challenger is solid, 71 convertible original black car. Not really any A body parts.

The guy is 51 and actually just bought all this stuff out of arkansas. He is going to be taking stuff to swap meets soon.

I will ask him.

He doesn't have anything you're looking for. He said he had answered you.

Yea it was really cool. I wish there was more A body stuff, but thats ok. Lot of big blocks.

Wife wasnt to mad, the guy has pretty fair prices. 560 for everything. 500 for the motor.
 
He did get back to me. I asked him again what was up.
He said the barracuda is sold. And the parts for the barracuda go with it.

I did not ask about the challengers though. Did he give you a price on the chally vert?

He has lots of spare fenders, hoods, and stuff. You really have to go by and sort through stuff... he just finished getting it unloaded and hasnt sorted through everything

Yes he did... I am thinking hard about buying it... what would a good price be for a roller challenger vert with very little rust be?
 
It's just plain fun and going to see all of that stuff.

Fun to walk in his steps and see how it all came to be for him. Probably some interesting stories behind it all.
