there are a couple on hiway 63 heading towards Pella from Des Moines...one isnt really a junkyard but it looks like it . The name is Doug's 4 wheelers or something like it but he has a bunch of mopar muscle cars in various states of disrepair ...and has been known to come off one every now and then .
there also is an old cout with a 10 acre farm full of mopars from the 30's to the late 70's  outin the country by Grainger-Dallas Center ...that is if the old fart hasn't dropped dead from old age yet and his son hasn't cruched everything of 10 cents a pound

There is one in a junkyard here in Marshalltown. 73-74. Not sure what is left of it. If you spend your weekends driving around on gravel roads, you are sure to find something. There is a guy in melbourne who has a  '73 BB 4spd sunroof project car. I know of a nice low mileage 318 Charger for sale in Dike. Email me, my cell phone is broke. sstabenow@marshallnet.com

Hey 70westernsport I'm lookin for some parts for my 73 Charger SE. But I am interested in trying to find a pretty good running 71-72 Roadrunner if possible? But I'm mostly looking for parts for my 73 SE?

Steev, I still haven't seen any E-bodies in the yards near Portage.  I know there's probably still quite a few lurking around in people's yards and possibly some wrecking yards, but you just need to look down the back roads outside of the City. (Madison)

I just thought of one ('70 R/T SE Challenger), but it's way up north in WI. (Near the Upper Peninsula of MI border with WI.)  How motivated are you to find a car?  I've known of this one since I was a Freshmen in HS. (5-6 years ago) and I've known a couple people tried to buy it, but he won't budge...typical excuse that he plans on restoring it someday. :violin:  I haven't been back to the road lately, but I believe it's still sitting.  Let me know if you'd like to pursue it or not.  I can give you information as to how to get there from US-41 from the GB area or from Madison. (same route either way.) :thumbsup:
