Mopars

[Rustomatic]

I'm just messin' with you Leon. That is some great looking muscle. I'm partial to Ford. When I was in high school I helped a buddy re-build a 68 428 CJ. I have an 07 Mustang GT putting out over 400 hp. I call it my "Interceptor". I hope to find a 68 CJ to work on. They are expensive.

Later,

My Dad worked at Fords so we always drove Fords. My first car was a 1973 Cougar XR7 with 351 Cleveland. I've owned many nice old Mustangs in the past. LEON.

P.S. Pic of my 67 Fastback with Shelby rear tailights & spoiler & 65 coupe.

That picture brings a tear to my eye. I had a 65 Mustang, owned it for all of two months. Had great plans for it, but my brother swiped the keys and took it for a ride and wrapped it around a telephone pole. I got $580.00 from the insurance company (this was in 1978). But it ran in the family, I guess. My dad wrecked an all original 427 Cobra, a '69 Mustang fastback, and a Datsun 240Z. My brother wrecked not only my Mustang, but another '67 Mustang coupe, and I managed to rack up a '70 Firebird Formula 400. Now I only drive cars that struggle to get to 80 mph.

[Leon]

Wow, a Original 427 AC Cobra would be worth big bucks nowadays LEON.

[Tinman]

This Plymouth is in the bush across the road from my cabin... It has a slant six under the hood.....anyone know what year and model it is?.... Would there be any parts that would be of interest to anyone?

[Ziphippie]

looks like a '68 Belvedere- original headlights are worth something! Bjorn

[Leon]

I'm Guessing a 1970 Satelite 4 door in code #F4 green. The Vin # in lower drive side of windsheild in dash should tell you what it is. If it is what I think Vin # should start out RH41CO., Could be RL41CO if Belvedere. Vin could be different if Taxi or Police car, ect. I'd be Interested in buying whole car of not to Rusty & not a 4 door? LEON.

[Ziphippie]

yeah I'd trust the expert here- reminds me of Adam 12. Bjorn

[Tinman]

Sorry but it is missing the right front fender, has 4 doors and lots of rust....

when you open the trunk there is nothing below the top of the wheel wells... good old Ontario salt.

[Leon]

The grill looks good. I'd take that, worth something. LEON.

[Tinman]

Hopefully no problem...I assume you want the headlight bezels as well.....It's a good 20 minute walk over to the dump...Any ideal on which tools will make it a breeze? Dave

[Leon]

I didn't mean I'd take it, I meant I'd take it if I was you. But now that I think about it, Yeah, If you wanted to remove it, grill with headlight bezels ect, what ever all comes with it to make it complete then Yeah, I'd be Interested in buying it off of you if you wanta intercept it. I suspect it's a abandoned vehicle with long lost owner know where to be found. If so go for it. Coincedently I seem to have a Mopar grill collection unintentionally going on right now. I got 4 70 Charger Grills & a 70 Super Bee grill now. I'm guessing maybe just a screwdriver might be needed for removal. Phillips or Straight but not certain what else may be needed? THANKS, LEON.

The car has probably been sitting out there 25 years. If the screwdrivers don't work, you might want to have one of these handy too. :)

[Leon]

Here's a pic of 2 1970 Satellites, 4 door on left like yours & 2 door on right. Notice the grills look like yours. LEON.

P.S. Click pic to supersize.

[Canadacan]

I guess the 4 door are parts donor for the 2 door models?.....does any one really restore the 4 door?

Thanks Leon, I'm heading up this weekend... I know the land owner and will confer with him before I start the rescue attempt... Dave

[Leon]

I have many Canadian beer cans to trade if Interested, maybe some canadian soda cans & bottles if Interested? Let me know. LEON.

Leon, I was up at the cabin last weekend and my neighbor/landowner is up north hunting for a couple weeks...Yes I am interested in any Canadian beer and or sodas that I don't have...... I'll PM when I hear something...

A few nice mopars showed up in CA. as reported on msn ... http://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/enthusia ... ?li=AA8hc8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Canadacan,
I restore four door mopars when I find them cheap and reasonably clean. I have had four door satellites, coronets, new yorkers and valiants. I just like old American steel. I hate to see really solid, clean, complete four doors get junked to "save" a rusty roted out 2 door junker with no drive train, glass, interior, or much else. The way things are going anymore four doors will be harder find since they get junked and parted out so much more frequently.

Yea I guess it is a shame when they are left to rot...one day the rare ones will be the 4 door models!
