In Winchester, VA there's a 72 Charger with numbers matching 383 for cheap:

Can't be numbers matching when the 383 wasn't offered. The 383 went away after 1971.

These Deals are all over SoCal, I see them all the time, just don't have a big enough back yard.

Mopars are drying up around north central US. Many wrecking yards are shutting down as the owner gets up in age, with no one taking over. Honey holes have fewer each time I visit. I grew up in the phoenix area and went back to visit 8 years ago, Art Coffer and DV used to be the yards I visited on a regular basis in the 80's. Now its a clapped out late model yard, the other is hollywood expensive. If I made it California way, I'd want to fill an 8 place trailer and contemplate a second run.

I once had a 21 window borgward bus, look very similar to VW bus, wish I had pics.

I got a call from a guy...I seem to have cars find ME rather than ME finding cars.

This car: $600 including a bunch of parts:

I did body and paint, pulled the engine to spray the engine bay, I just finished the headliner and windshield installation. Soon I'll sell it.

also needs upholstery and interior paint

I was able to get my 70' Road Runner for free. I saw it sitting outside a auto repair shop for years. I finally stopped one day and asked them what they were going to do with it? His reply was, you want thar p.o.s? Hook a chain to it and drag it out and it's yours. I went home and hooked up my trailer and brought it home that day. Deals are still out there. Oh, and it came with a lot of rust and was missing a lot of parts.

That's cool.
I need to know, are those reverse lights, tail lights, what?
If they are lenses of some kind it's amazing they're still there.

Don't know what year it is yet, those are red brake lights that have been bleached white by the sun.

I like the patina better

 

[matthon]

This guy buys cheap cars online that don't run, takes a couple days at the seller's house to make them road worthy, and drives them home.

 

[barnfind]

Deals are still out there, the 1k and less are tough to find and go quick, usually. Here's one for 2500 that's 4 states away and has been up for just over an hour, I don't expect it to last the day without a new owner. Needs typical pans and metal patches.

i'm thinking it will need a new frame and floors. to start with. Fortunately there are several parts houses and clubs in Europe that seem to have nearly everything for these cars.
