1970 Challenger T/A, console auto, factory B3/B5 interior/black roof. Another car with masked-off OE stripes. The driver was speeding down a residential street and someone backed out of their driveway. No fatalities except the car. The numbers were removed and put on a clean 318 shell with a fake data tag indicating factory FM3 paint. I sent these pics to Hamtramck Historical many years ago to alert them of the fakery and the owner's name. He was later called out on Moparts about it. He went back and bought this hulk not long after I took the pictures; it sits at the rear edge of his backyard.

You know you've hit hard when you destroy the instrument cluster.

The blue car's original VIN on the fake data tag:

These are just junkyard finds I documented over time.

1972 Road Runner, 340/4-speed, B5/black bucket/stripe delete. I pulled the grille and sold it. A decade after I took these photos, someone cut all the numbers off it.

1966 Formula S, completely loaded car. 273/235, 4-speed, disc brakes, 8¾", light group, tachometer, red w/black interior. The short block, one head, discs & rear axle were still in it the first time I visited the yard. As of last year, it's still there but it's been picked completely clean. Anything on this car that might interest you is long gone. Yes, even [insert part here].

1971 Sport Fury coupe, 383HP. I bought the hood off this car and tried unsuccessfully to sell it for about 8 years. If you need a set of '71 Fury hood bulges with turn signals and drilled for "383" emblems, hit me up. The rest of the hood's gone.

Not a Mopar, but c'mon... it's a Henry J. There were originally two of these; one left when I took this but now both are long gone. Yard owner said he sold them, so I'm guessing they were saved.

Oops, forgot another one from that yard... not necessarily one to set the soul ablaze, but it's not often you find a '77 Volare Premiere 4-door factory equipped with a Super Six and a Hurst-shifted 4-speed manual. The Premiere was the "luxury" model but this one also had manual brakes.
I pulled the complete intake/air cleaner setup and sold them. The transmission is freshly rebuilt awaiting installation in my '68 Valiant, and the clutch pedals are in my basement.

Not sure but Rohners auto parts in Willmar MN has lots of cordobas and newports in their salvage yard…
