    Mopars discovered hidden in Tractor Trailers
    « on: January 25, 2014 - 04:49:09 PM »
    Here's a cool adventure I went on.  I drove past some tractor trailers and a rotting 73 Charger for years.  I finally stop to inquire about the Charger.  Find out all the tractor trailers are full of Mopars and parts.  Even an E-body or two.  He's a really nice guy and a good friend now.

    These stories just bug me because the owners of the cars never do anything with them. They most likely don't have two nickels to rub together, but they won't sell anything either...

    The guy with the barn full could probably sell one car for more cash then he's ever seen at one time...he could travel the world, or have one car fixed nice....but instead he's happy with a barn full of junk until the day he dies...sad really... :crying:

    Yeah, this guy was almost as bad as the 69 Hemi 500 guy.  He had barns (really barns) full of rare E-bodies.... and has done nothing with them.  He bought a really awesome vintage race car hauler... so he could travel the country getting cool cars.  Bought it and just left it in his yard.  So sad.

    This guy with the tractor trailers atleast does work on his cars one by one.  He has running and driving cars.  But some of these other people.  Nope.
