When I lived in Greenwood, SC from 84-86 Mopars were everywhere. Found tons in the junkyards too, when I went back about 10 years ago all the yards were gone!
Has to be nice, haven’t seen that since the 80’s up here. How much was the dart?

I was talking to a guy today who's been here in Modesto his whole life... Still has his high school car in his back yard.... A Dark Blue (EE1) 68 Super Bee... With a 426 Hemi, 4spd & a 4:10 Dana... Hasn't run in thirty years.... He's had many offers but it's not for sale.... So I offered to help him get it back on the road....
The Dart was $3300 and had powerbuldge hood...looked like the usual lower quarter patch needed...but original brown paint and belt stripe....bench seat..no engine or trans...auto column...mint grille and small bolt centerlines...if I didn't have too many I would have gotten all...going to see 72 satellite Sebring and 71 charger with louvered doors tmro....
Too much.

Hey I'm hoping to get to NC. in 2 or 3 years.
The duster was $2000 with console and nice 72 buckets with hcode as 5th didget on vin...8.75 rear and perfect standard grille...problems with paperwork but I found a registration stub....hmmmmmm...solid floors
Sure would love to give that E-body a new home. Hmmm, where did I put that winning lottery ticket....?
And they actually will sell them? Wow! Every time I ever stop to look at an old Mopar and seriously consider asking if they’d sell I almost always get the same response of “oh no, that was my granddaddy’s car, I can’t sell it it. I plan on restoring it one day” no joke. Always used to be a relatives car and a sentimental issue. And in every case the car/truck (save for an early 80’s D150 that actually disappeared soon after I inquired) is still sitting in the same spot more sunk into the ground, more junk piled around it, more sun baked. And I’m talking up to 20 years since I first spotted them.
There are lots of old Mopars still languishing out there along the backroads of upper SC that’s for sure.
I know where a 1972 yellow Factory demon 340 4-speed with dual snorkel and Gullwing in a backyard with original paint that I could probably get for $3,500 but the motor is long gone manifolds and factory exhaust and 8.75 rear still exist...black deluxe int. with buckets....title issues!!
