It was half price day at the Pick-n-Pull and Pick-A-Part where I'm at, so on Labor Day I grabbed a Mopar buddy and went hit the East Bay yards.
First yard we hit, Dorris Auto Wreckers, had a fairly complete '68 Barracuda. It was missing the dash and grill when I was there. I almost grabbed the hood, but I didn't need it, so I left it on the car. They told $150 at the front would have taken it. It had the dual bumps with chrome badges on it, not sure if that was on every '68 Barracuda or not.
We drove down the same road that Dorris is on, looking for other yards that were open and a few yards down through the front gate I saw a Plum Crazy nose sticking out. We flipped a u turn, and parked out front.
Sure enough, it was a 1970 'Cuda, 440 automatic that had been in a major fire. You could still see the remmenants of melted plastic and burned metal, but someone was putting this one back together. New dash pad, windshield, etc. It had been pretty badly burned, I don't know how well the car's structural integretity would be.
Right next to the 'Cuda under a cover was a real Shelby Mustang, about a 1969, with lots of body damage. I didn't get to look too much, because it was under a cover.
A few cars over from that pair was a 1970 Challenger. Original 318 car, but complete and in decent condition other than needing a paint job.
Couldn't believe I found them. I didn't take any pictures, I didn't have my camera with me, I just wasn't expecting to find anything like this. Incredible.
