    Junkyard Score!
    « on: October 02, 2006 - 09:42:57 PM »
    Just scored a Cuda 3 speaker dash. No big cracks. A couple of tiny tears and small imperfections here and there, but for the most part complete.

    For those of you who have seen my last post from this yard in Michigan, bad news. A fire destroyed 5 Challengers, totally ruining them.

    There are E body 2 Barracudas left, both totlally disintegrated. 2 good Backglass, some sideglass and trim. that's about it. Some back seats too.

    Also some blue doorpanels, some blue rear trim....

    Here's a before and after pic.

    before: http://www.pbase.com/dmz73/image/67929453

    After: http://www.pbase.com/dmz73/image/67929461

    I will be refinishing the speaker grilles tomorrow.

    As for going back to the yard, I will have to go back in the spring.

    Some were scratched, but some were in goog/decent shape. I will have to make the trip out again with the camera and post some pics. I know that the plastic was still pliable.

    There is nothing left of the Challengers. Inly a slightly damaged tailpanel for a 71 Challenger. The rest is melted. Only 2 Cuda's survived the fire. I believe a 74 cuda and a 73 cuda remain.

    There are some B bodies left through.

    The yard is located in Northbranch Michigan.

    Where in North Branch is this junk yard? My brother in law lives in North Branch & he does not know of one anywhere near him. He is not a car guy though.
