Update!!! All sold...Saving some Mopars from an old closed down impound yard from the deserts of Utah...check em out and see if there’s something you may regret buying 😂
It still amazes me how many of these classic cars are not only on the road but still waiting to be saved. As a classic car lover im thrilled that we still have so many peices of American history around.
Never saw a mopar that wasn’t super desirable to me. Including a 67 dart. Yes, even “those Chargers”. Wish I was in the market. Covid got me like save not spend. Btw thanks for sharing. Obviously these are the kinda scraps that big dollar collectors didn’t want, but that’s ok. Sharing is caring.
Chris: " so which cars are you interested in?" Me: "Yes!" So jealous of those who live near the desert junkyards. Out here on the Canadian prairies anything left outdoors in the environment like that would have become one with Mother Earth years ago. Some of those Dusters and Darts were in decent shape.
Man I love old junk yards ( Impound lots) . They are pretty much a thing of the past here in NC , Wish I were closer to you I would love to just walk the yard to see what was there. Merry Christmas .
The slant six was one of the best motors developed. The one with a three speed would be a fun get around town car. Super reliable engine. Two pumps and mine would fire rite up at -20. Really don't get see how one could hate them.
Hey Chris thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I would love to have all of those cars there but that's never going to happen so I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your whole family and hopefully many more to come
I had a 76 Chrysler Cordoba with a 400 it was a little rusty but still drove nice and had power everything including ac which also still worked and it came with slotted mags to give it a kind of muscle look.
Awesome thanks for saving the car's, but also all the old truck's and other car's in there and be good to get them a new life 😀🤙🏼 be awesome to see the work on the general Lee real car from the TV show to when you can 😀🤙🏼 cheers
Breaks my heart that they are there and not close to me, Oh and sold by looks of things. Would have loved the console air duster and the 3 speed as well. Very lucky people indeed who end up with these. Mopar for life!
Dang I like those dusters I just bought one for my brother for his birthday. That slant 6 can be worked over pretty good. Also I would like info on the new General Lee...
Everyone wants an arm and a leg for Darts and Dusters on the east coast. I'm talking about frame rails, floors and trunk floors gone. no motors and they are wanting $4000 or better. Keep Em' Alive Chris !!!
Back in the early 80's body shop guys became experts on these mopars. The rear spring shackle would end up in the trunk from rotting through. They were welding them back together if there was anything to weld to. By the mid 80's these cars were gone. Hundreds of cars entered the junk yards with great running engines but were all rotted away. My fathers 69 LTD went to the junk yard in 74 with 43K miles on the 302.
I hear ya.... i had my eye on that 64 Impala ..... be interesting to see all the other cars in there.... I’m surprised he even showed that Pontiac.... he’s a Mopar or no car nut..... me i’m Bowtie to the bone.... meh to each their own!!!
I owned BOTH a 1977 and a 1974 Olds Omega...the 77 I had was bone stock...BUT the 74 I owned was "tweaked" and was making around 400 horsepower when I was finished with it!! Not a lot for sure.... BUT it was fast as snot and so "under estimated" by most of the folks in town who pulled up next to me at a stop light!!! LOL!!! I never got a ticket in that 1974 Omega either....which is strange, because I used to drive it like I had stole it!!! LMAO!!!
Hey u do.any trading? I am from Wadena MN not too far.away. lol. I have a few.real nice ones. . half dozen or.so. these.are All ones. That.are.worth something and.sought after
Just got a 69 Dart project... Love to have any of them, especially the Chargers. Sure wish I hadnt just done Christmas!!! Maybe the kids will like havin a project car instead???😂
my favorite mopar is 71 Satallite Sebring my dad had one until i turned 16 and he sold it behind my back ive always wanted one ever since but they a hard to find
We had three 73-74 Charger SE's when I was a teenager. Mom loved her triple black 73. She still misses that car. Wish I could afford to buy her another one, her new car would sit. Lol.
Sure makes you wonder why some of them went to the bone yard years ago 🤔🤔🤔 Been many decades since you would see that era of Mopar at the yards in Michigan.
On my son's RU-vid but I'd love to have a 71 charger my first experience in American muscle was around 1982 my father bought a 71 dodge charger 383 4 speed car white on white slot mags air shocks.im 44 and I can still hear that car rip through the gears.seeing dad bang that shifter wile racing my uncle in his 71 Pontiac GTO .one of the best memories of my father.
stuff you see when you dont have the cash then when you have the cash their gone . thats my luck . luckly years back I bought my 65 dart 2 door post daily drive but needed repairs. then 15 years later I bough a daily driver that needed fixing up my 1982 dodge d150 short bed . 2020 still have both and truck is finished but not a restored quality but a daily driver . 65 is still on the project block but little over half way from being street/strip car . so 2 is enough for my buget .
Small world but you made an appearance on Kyle SVT’s channel on his latest dyno video pulling that Dart home. I knew nobody else was pulling a Dart with a Charger but you. 👍
Don't be shy with those 4 doors! Also those 50s cars, when you where looking at that red dart, all I saw was that 1950ish dodge backed in by the driver quarter.
i see major body work interior work electrics and full recondition for the engines trans and running and diff and brakes and then maybe they would make a nice sunday driver
I have always loved the 71-74 chargers don't get me wrong the kings of chargers are always gonna be gen 2's but something cool bout them fusion cars man
Dude, I'm from Kentucky. Any pre 70 anything that is solid is desirable. Lol. A little rust here is almost unsavable there. Kinda like the 70 rt/se you pulled out of Texas.
I love some of those 70’s chargers but I don’t have any cash. I like old mopars because they were so cool. To bad I don’t have a job because I just started highschool and with COVID can’t get a job
Almost every one of those would be ideal for a young guy looking for his first project car.Low entry cost,plenty of parts availability for the Darts and Dusters,and even the larger Chargers from 73-74 aren't big dollar cars so parts aren't outrageous like the E-body stuff. Personally,I like the 72 Dart and the Gold Duster but I have plenty of project Mopars already.
Hey man million dollar mopar or not thanks for saving them. Twenty years from now they might start going up in price. But the ones that go to the kill shelter will never get them back.
Kool Kars Bud, if you ever come across a 70's 'stang, would you....could you show case it as well? Owner of two '72 coupe's (running condition) your Bud in Tejas, Marc H.
I need to buy a car carrier. :D That 'Desert Dart' is cool. The problem I'd have with a '71 Charger is my mid-life belly would make me look like a beached whale leaning over the engine compartment! :D
There is a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am behind the Gold Duster. You can see it at 12:16. If it's in decent enough shape, that will bring in some really good money. They're pretty desirable and definately hard to find. That car should be saved. Please consider selling the Grand Am.
You said the bottom not super desirable! Well that's great where's a new kid going to cut his teeth in this hobby if there a none if these affordable cars around good job getting them out! And giving some one else a chance at owning a classic car! They all can't be million dollar cudas! Cause then you would see any driving around!
