mopars are still out in the weeds!

This thread makes me want to cry.

I had a neighbor at the end of our dead end farm road back in Pennsylvania that had a couple acres full of Valiants, Darts, barracuda's, dusters, demons, scamps, diplomats, fury's, but mostly old Valiants.

He would not let any cars go, but would sell you a part or 2 "IF" you got the okay from him and his Wife.
I got lucky one day because his cows got out and came on my property so I rounded them up and drove them back in their gate.
This was the ice breaker.

At the time, all I needed was a set of dog dish hub caps that he let me have for free, but when I removed them I found a frozen dead cow laying up against one of the wheels and I could not get to the last hub cap.

He told me to keep the dead cow thing quiet and offered me a couple more parts for my Valiant.

He died a couple months later and I saw all his cars coming out one by one from a flat bed wrecker so I drove down and asked the Wife what was up.

She said she sold all the cars to a scrap guy for a couple grand.

I think the tow truck driver wanted to make me sick because they pulled a yellow 70 440-6 pack roadrunner with an air grabber and a pistol grip shifter out of the barn, and a yellow 71 440 6 pack road runner out and left them by my mail box for three days while they took all the other cars out of there one by one.

Man, that must have been one of the best scores of the century in the Mopar world but I never heard anything about them or the guy that pulled them out, and the old lady was not much of a conversationalist, even though I saved her goats from being torn to shreds from coyotes for the third night in a row when I trapped and killed them.

Hopefully he did not scrap the runners.

I had no idea he had those big block cars in the barn otherwise I would have them in my garage today.

Man if I only knew.
