Junkyards in Canada would be a better place to look for a project than in a junkyard in the US, most of the good junkyards are gone now because of all the emissions crap. I see great e-body junkyards in Canada online all the time.
And you will save a lot of money if you do most of the work yourself. :working:
Most of the junkyards in Alberta are picked over.  There are lots of Mopar fans up here.  You can check with Flatla Auto Wrecking out in Tilley (near Brooks) but he isn't a cheap wrecker.

Welcome fellow Canuck! 

You may be able to find something by keeping an eye on www.kijiji.ca  :chatting:  It's a free classifieds site.  I found someone GIVING AWAY an A-body V8 k-frame the other day.  If only I had an A-body...

Unfortunately getting a Challenger might have to get put on the back burner for now - I need a driver that's cheap
I'll still be here though - one day I'll get one and I'll never sell it
No, I don't own a MOPAR, but I will

Welcome
 there asre project cars around & I know of a few but in all honesty you are better off paying more & buying a solid car to begin with , it will save you $$ in the long run
 I do know where there is a real 383 R/T purple 70 Chall with a fender tag but it is a basket case & needs everything

Thanks :)

All of Calgary's junkyards have been stripped of all older cars years ago - maybe during my vacation I'll find some near the highway
