What were these cars doing in a Long Island wrecking yard in 2003?  

I had to do something. I kept getting asked.... 🤣

I did something similar. Somebody years ago posted quarter panel end caps on eBay for the Charger. Wanted $10 and he was local. No one bid on them so I messaged him and said what else you got. He replied that he was stripping a 73 Charger to turn into an enduro racecar to run at Riverhead Raceway. I bought everything that he took off for $75. Only wished I could have nabbed the bumpers but he needed them on the car to get mangled in racing.....😥

Yeah, I was real dumb not going back and buying up everything I could off of that car. I got lucky once where a local guy was tearing down a 73 Charger to turn into an enduro car for running at Riverhead Raceway. I bought a bunch of interior and exterior bits just to have as spares.

@@LongIslandMopars I got lucky when I was doing the wagon and found a 69 Coronet 4 door in the junkyard. I bought lots of parts off that car.

@@NathansMoparGarage Smart move. One time I found a local guy tearing apart a 73 Charger to make into an enduro car. I bought everything I could off of him.

@@LongIslandMopars gotta grab the parts when you can and then if you don't need them they can be sold later.

@@NathansMoparGarage I can't believe I wrote the same reply twice. 🤣 Gotta be past me bedtime...

Thanks! That's the Long Island Coronet R/T, right? Last time I saw it for sale, it was in Lindenhurst.

@@LongIslandMopars yes, This is the car. Bought on consignment from original owners family. It's a very special car for sure, and I have basically finished and fine tuned the restoration of the car to 100% factory stock.

@@mattgause3178 that is awesome. I have my dad's 66 Coronet 500 SE that he bought new. It's unrestored but in very good shape. I rebuilt the engine and transmission. Just a little 273 2bbl. Served our little family well and now keeps my 74 Charger company in the garage.

@@LongIslandMopars wonderful well made cars

Yep. I hate it too. I only had my Charger for 5 years back then and wasn't thinking hard enough to go back to the yard and buy parts off that wreck. My Charger only had 27k miles back in 1998 when I bought it. It was like new and I never put my h thought into accumulating spare parts until years later. 😕
