Ok, stop the insanity, no need for further replies , I've been doing Mopars, long before it was "Cool" & hunting in junkyards (for 68-70 B body mostly) for over 45 years. I've got some real good "food for thought" on here from different members, & thank you all for that. I've watched the prices of cars & parts , go up & down, like a cheap whores pants on a Saturday night! I've gotten deals, paid up for the right parts, sold stuff to cheap to help a person out,etc....
I have reached that crossroad that a friend of mine said about 25 years ago, I would get to.
Let's call him "Glen". I helped restore his cars , back in the day & was always in awe ,when Glen would come into the shop & say "I bought this ...". At one point he had 13 Hemi Chargers, from 66 to 71. Among others 64 Fury 426 Wedge, 70 Charger V code, etc... One time he sent me out west to BC ,to look at a 69 Daytona, turned out to be NOT in very good condition ,at the time "87".
My life then took a sharp turn in 94, but I never lost track of Mopars & still do it , just less so to speak. I can't remember how long ago, I heard through the grape vine that Glen was selling out, (even his most favorite ,a 69 Hemi Charger 500 ). I called him & went to visit right away. I asked him if he was dying or ???. Glen said this " I'm not sick or dying but as you know I've had numerous expensive cars & parts, since I was like 15. I'm getting up in years & if something were to happen to me, my wife ( let's call her Marge) would have to deal with all my cars (18 or so ) & parts. Most people are like vultures, when it comes to cars & parts. Marge was always right beside me & never questioned anything I've ever done, but she's not a car lady & he would never want to subject her to that monumental task of cleaning up after he's gone, should that happen !"
Glen is still with us ,all but one of his cars are gone & is now closing in on 90.
I'm sure we all have "Car or parts stories" but now it's back to reality, thanks again "6pktgo"
That shows a true car guy who is willing to help, and better still without being asked.
