Found a few good projects today within 15 miles from home....and they cheap...there was a 69 Dart swinger 340 that I forgot to take pics of and another 71 challenger with thin hood moulding....it was 5 in 1 hours time...hmmmmm

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....I come from a country town where everybody still has their first car in the backyard
Too much.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....
Sure would love to give that E-body a new home. Hmmm, where did I put that winning lottery ticket....?Found a few good projects today within 15 miles from home....and they cheap...there was a 69 Dart swinger 340 that I forgot to take pics of and another 71 challenger with thin hood moulding....it was 5 in 1 hours time...hmmmmm

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.Found a few good projects today within 15 miles from home....and they cheap...there was a 69 Dart swinger 340 that I forgot to take pics of and another 71 challenger with thin hood moulding....it was 5 in 1 hours time...hmmmmm
