They told him that he couldn't find any more cars in Midland, Texas. This week, Tom Cotter hits the oil country highways to prove them wrong. Drawn in by the rusty bones of an old Torino, Tom investigates the pickings of a fellow car guy, among which is a 1972 Dodge Charger housing a 318-cubic-inch engine that, after some gentle prodding, slowly coughs to life. Cold calls come next, and soon Tom visits a woman who proudly imparts the history behind each hollowed-out shell in her yard, from an engine-less 1957 Thunderbird drag car to a VW Beetle with a Ford V-8. Touring through her garden of drag metal and classic iron, Tom turns up a McLaren Mustang convertible, the body of a 1963 Econoline Van, and a half-restored 1977 Chevy Blazer, each with a story-and a price.

I'm not a Mopar guy and I'd bu that '72 without a second thought. Awesome entry into the muscle car world.

@notfried2004 6 лет назад

rcairforceone you are correct. Not a desirable year, but a respectable entry, non the less.

@BlueHopi144 6 лет назад

just give it your best chance . I would suggest : Be awfully honest and clear about why u visit those guys . Once that is cleared for them , i beleive its pretty easy to discuss and share with those owners / offer bids or whatever . Life is worth taking little risks for which we need to be prepared .

@JohnSmith-jb8rb 6 лет назад

You'll enjoy it. I've got some awesome deals on a few old cars because I was the first one to ask. I'm still looking for that certain AAR Cuda. My buddies dad had one up until two years ago. He bought it used in 1975 for 1500 dollars. Some people get all the luck lol

@maxmccroskey1968 6 лет назад

GETUP AND GO it makes it a lot easier when you’re with a tv show, I’d imagine people are a lot more willing to show off their stuff when you have cameras

@unfairfight3625 6 лет назад

There is no way i would of left without the mopar...that was a killer deal

@BlueHopi144 6 лет назад

Oh yes Man . That charger for less than 10,000 is a steal . Put a crater engine or a solid old 388 / 440 ( if the mounts fit ) and there u go /a check the suspensions /drive train ( i would put a new set of suspension + breaks of course ) . Solid body , nice original color .

The Mc Laren Mustang was only labelled as Mc Laren. The transformation was done by American Sunroof Corporation (A.S.C.) nobody could do better convertible roofs in that time.

Ranchero - nice model . There is one form 74 ( squire with wood on the sides ) for sale nearby where i live in Belgium . In very decent shape , all green + wood mixed colors and a 350 in it . Its only 15,000 $ - still for sale . If i had the bucks , i would have bought it long ago . I would mostly make a serious change in the cabin ( seats cover material / dash clusters / floor cover / etc... ) because its not a nice or exciting stock interior .

@Moletastic69 6 лет назад

318 to 360 swap, pay attention to the balancing, the harmonic balancer and little weights on the torque converter are different. 318 is internally balanced, 360 is externally balanced. On the 360, the harmonic balancer has a part scooped out, and there are tiny weights on the torque converter.

@kman-mi7su 5 лет назад

I'd keep the 318 and clean her up good. That Charger would make a great cruiser for the summertime.

I knew an old guy in Caldwell Texas who had a bunch of old cars on his place back in the 90's.. The one that always caught my eye was a mid 70's Cadillac El Camino he had just sitting in a pasture on his property.. I've no clue if the car is still there or even if the fellow who owned it is even still alive. But it would definitely be worth checking out if you're ever in that area..

I had a 70 type NW Torino and bought a 70 GT for $60 at a police auction as a parts car. The parts car ended up being too good to part out so I just swapped a few parts like the disc brakes and sold it for $1,000. This was back in about 1998 I was 18 and wish I would have kept both cars the type NW is worth big money now it was the Oregon orange color I guess that's a harder color to find from what people tell me

I'm a MoPar fan, so the Charger gets back on the road 1st, my dad had a '76 Blazer when I was a kid so that'd be next, & the Ford...well I'd flip it. Some Ford nut might buy it, shove a 302, 5-spd., & a 9" rear in it, a pair of seats, & then hold on for dear life.
