Topcat, can you go anywhere in CA without bumping into an awesome Mopar?!  :faint:

I see so much killer rides working for Interstate. I go to auto shops, and machine shops alot and constantly see some really nice cars. Saw a really nice 67 El Camino project today that was liened and title acquired by a body shop. Wanted $6,800 for it.

O.K. so it was a Chebbie.   :grinno: :misbehaving:

One of these days I just might run into a Cuda or a Challenger like that for a bargain.

I'll get the picture soon of a Duster that hasn't moved in over 10 years near me. Really a nice project.

Found this today.

Interior was in very good condition. Roof is getting rusty. Otherwise a solid body.
Front bumper and other parts still there. Been sitting just like it is for 5-6 years.

 :wow:
Damn Mike  :clapping:
 I don't think I've seen that many cars driving around in the last ten years in New England  :(

Thanks for sharing all your finds  :cheers:

Just for curiosity sake, what's the front bumper/grille surround worth on those third gen Chargers?  :dunno:

Re: the "original" green Challenger - note the position of the fender turn signal indicators..... :)

VT Mopar

The position is correct for an early 70.  Midyear the position was changed for late 70 - 74.  I don't know why or exactly when it was changed.

Hardly any of my finds are easily found.
Most are hidden behind corners or behind buildings etc.

Those are the areas I go looking for new business...the least ever visited before. The Charger was found out in Alviso. The south bay wet lands that is such an obscured, least visted area.

If i ever find an R or V code, it's gonna be mine then I'll post my find.  :grinyes:
