Love your videos! You are very fortunate to be able to see all these old treasures up close. I loved the Ebody section. Makes me want to go give my Cuda a big hug for still being alive.
It was nice to find your series of videos. We enjoy the same thing, old cars. It's cool you take your time to film these so I can see them. Thanks. Great work I love your videos!!!
i do fix hotwheels paint and repaint h.w. cars now making barnyard and junkyard finds . watching you video's gives me art work for my old cars thank you gary!!
That’s incredible. Pretty much stripped out rusted shells ready for the crusher though since nothing can be restored. Few parts but that’s about all. Shame too because the more of these that were given a chance at resto would create new interest driving up demand driving up the rest, there is only a limited number of them out there that might need parts at this point. Sell a few.
Mopar, its like good rock music! I had my first Dodge Dart -65 modell in 1975 with 273" engine! After that -71 Challenger and one more Barracuda with strong 446" big block! Orginally the orchestra was 318" but 440" sounds much better! I did 11,3 sec on 400 m!
This yard is in rogersvill Alabama remember 1st time seeing it was 1990. The cars were alot cleaner had to drive past it alot going out of state to get beer Ted Stevens huge MOPOWER king he was way smart. He seen the money but alot of cars paid the price
While what a lovely graveyard back in the seventies I had a 68 GTX 440 4 speed also had a 69 satellite 4 speed I'd give him anything if I could just get a decent roller slowly work on it behind these days
Fascinating place! Thank you for the tour. I've watched all your videos and subscribed. Where are all the engines from these cars? Have they all been sold, or were they pulled and stored somewhere?
It must be an Alabama law preventing the sale of the shell. I know in Wyoming they send in the titles to the state IF they ever get a title, often they never even get the title to turn it in. But they will sell the entire car with a bill of sale and then you have a vin inspection and file for a title, Montana is the same but also offers a bonded title. If the body value is below 500.00 no bond is need just file it. But get the title stuff done before you put money in the car. The higher its value the higher the bond for the tittle. I suspect Stevens Performance is not correct in the interpretation of the law, but like I say it could be an Alabama Law.
No, they are completely correct sadly. They have been doing it for over 40 years. Sadly once the title is turned into the state, and it shows the car being relinquished to the junkyard, that car can not ever leave.
Auto Archaeology , well at least they will be preserved forever on your video. I checked the Alabama statute and they are not correct, it is legal for them to sell any vehicle they wish, they probably just don't want to. The salvage title fee is 15.00. here is an excerpt of the law, I will post a link below. "(g) The department is authorized to issue a salvage certificate of title for a fee of fifteen dollars ($15), on a form prescribed by the department which shall provide for assignments of this title. The salvage certificate of title is to replace a certificate of origin or certificate of title required to be surrendered by this section. The department shall prescribe necessary forms and procedures to comply with this subsection. (i) Every owner of a salvage or junk motor vehicle who sells or transfers the vehicle to any person shall provide at the time of the sale or transfer a properly executed assignment and warranty of title to the transferee in the space provided therefor on the salvage certificate of title or junk certificate of title or as the department prescribes. A person who willfully violates this subsection shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and shall be punishable as required by law." As you can see they are permitted to sell them if they wish they just need to fill out the form prescribed in subsection (i) described above.
Unfortunately that does not apply to a vehicle that has been turned into the state as being relinquished to a junkyard. Once that happens, it is done. I've been over this a thousand times, they have been over this a thousand times. There is no way to sell cars out of the yard.
@@dancross4444 You are correct and the Yankee is covering up for ted. He made a killing off of parts. Besides Alabama cars 1975 and back never had a title! FACTS
He makes ALOT more off of the parts. Alabama before 1975 never had titles. I've bought several mopars before from other bone yard's. Ted all about a dollar.
Hey man, I'm looking to find a project car and was wondering if you think this is the place to go to find it? I know you mention its good for parts but am also looking for the body itself.
reminds me of coins in a wishing well . These are kind of like peoples dreams . each car probably has its own awesome story . As the value of these cars keeps climbing , it will be worth it to restore them in worse shape . glad I already have my car
That looks like a great place for Mopar parts my question to you is how do you know if it is a 72 cuda because with out check the vin # you can't really tell 72 73 or 74 apart and you can't tell 72 and 73 apart without checking vin #. You can somewhat tell a 74 by the motor they only came with 360 HP or 318 motors but 73 came with both of those motors to so you can't really tell the 3 years apart without checking the vin #.
There are a few other tell-tale signs, like 72 have the same 70-71 bumper, 73-74 have those big ugly rubber 5mph bumper things, unless someone removed them. And a few other things.
The fact he doesn’t sell whole cars means this video is worthless to the Restorer,not like there’s a huge market for parts anymore or anyone that even knows how to restore,then the owner or owners will die off and everything gets crushed Mopar city Oregon Illinois is a perfect example,more parts and no cars We are a dying breed
I haven't seen much in this yard by way of parts that are worth the trouble. These cars have been picked down to the bare bones. Anything that might still be out there can likely be had aftermarket or reconditioned for the same money and less trouble. If it wasn't for Alabama's medieval salvage laws half of these cars would have been 'repurposed' by the turn of the century while they were still worth saving. Now it's just a Superfund site. A sad glimpse of broken dreams and "what if's".
Did this guy who owns this lot have an exchange agreement with another lot? (I give you all my chevy’s for trade for your Mopats?).Quite an amazing place!! To bad about having to cancel the VIN numbers on some of those cars. Crooks pay a lot for a clean vin for a GTX or Superbee!
back in the seventies one could get one for 100-700 and now thanks to barrett Jackson the average joe cant get one. SO CRUSH THEM AND BARRETT LET CHINA HAVE THEM!!!!!
Where's all the motors? Ain't worth that much w/o the engine. Most of the good parts are gone after years and years and you can't sell the bodies so why even save them?
