now days everyone has some kind of camera with them most of the time, we've all talked about where and when we spotted our pride and joy, how about digging out those photos from whan you first spotted it, i bet it had a face that only a mother (or mopar father) could love,

here is my 1963 dodge 440 the first time i layed eyes on it, it had been parked under a tree at the edge of a golf course for about 10 years. it'a hard to believe that not one piece of glass was broken while the buick that was parked next to it loss most of it's windows ... i dug it out only to discover it had a brand new 440 installed that was never run and a posi rear end...
it was one of those deals where i bought it sight un seen, which was a good thing as had i seen it i may have passed on the deal...

Here is the "JUNKYARD DOG" pretty much as I had found it. The first time I had seen it it was already sitting on this trailer.

Here is the next project the way I found it and it is almost as bad as it looks, but it is a #'s matching 340 car with a fender tag and a mint build sheet and a clear title!. The last pic is how it sits now waiting for the restoration to begin and now it lives inside!.:grin:

This is what my Super Bee looked like when I first laid eyes on it. My friends thought I was crazy for taking this car. It was on it's way to the junk yard before I brought it home. Got it for free!!
