NO spring-loaded hood ornament of a Spanish gold coin!

Compared to the new S-10s we sold, the Dakotas were far better built and quieter. The fancy Rangers were more like a small Ford car, in many respects. When I saw the first Dakotas at our Mopar club's sponsoring dealership, under the hood, the frame was as wide as the S-10's frame, but the cab...

Modern 1/2ton pickups have gotten too big for their own good. They have to share the capabilities of OHC V-8s and turbo inline engines with their HD2500 variants. This sets the high cowl and other related front end sheetmetal configurations. One does not really notice these things until these...

Just watched a YouTube video on that car. I watched it via a link from another forum, then by Googling "Black Ghost YouTube". There were some things mentioned in the video which make the car more significant in the collector car world. Think $1.012M is too much money? What about the E-body...

You know, considering that somebody had enough money to buy that car in the first place, apparently went into that deal with their eyes open and brain engaged, with a purpose, I find it hard to use the word "scam". Not unlike when the PT Cruiser first came out and demand outstripped supply...

"Over-hyped"? OTHER than the 426 HEMI under the hood . . . R/T SE 4-speed with a Gator Grain top on it. A very rare car, just in that aspect of things. But one with verifiable "street cred" rather than being a "trailer queen" "too valuable to race", too. If that is too much money, then what...

Our '72 Newport Royal had a similar-type spot on the instrument panel pad surface, in the middle, facing the front seat back, not on the surface where light could get to it easier. FWIW

"Combinder" = "Roebinder"?

The '66-'67 Charger buckets might be neat, plus the back ones fold flat for a flat cargo floor on the Chargers, which might match-up reasonably well with the C-body load floor?

Seems like Bruce Horkey was a supplier for ready-done wood? I believe he had Chevy/GMC wood, not sure about anything else, though. Might be some links in the older pickup restoration vendor websites?

The definition of "sustainable operations" kind of troubles me. Is it related to the volume of potential product vs. what they can actually build (all things considered in the current situations)? Or the volume of actual product they have parts to build? Of might this be some sort of...

I believe that one issue was the national gasoline shortage and the sudden desire for smaller cars. Although Fenner Tubbs C-P sold lots of New Yorkers due to their outstanding fuel economy at 55mph. I was in college out there, then, and came to know a few of the salesmen. I asked about how...

HOAs are a "private business" of sorts. Many of them are run by private corporations who do nothing BUT run HOAs, which can result in the big legal "muscle" they seem to have . . . for a fee to the developer. Which can also result in a somewhat standardized set of rules and regulations which...

Obviously some pit-falls and schisms to deal with, whether in-state or not. Obviously some interesting and neat cars in that mix, but getting them out might be "the deal", even if the car can be had at a very good auction price. In one respect, I suspect the auction company could supply...

Think of all of the FUN that crew had in getting all of that stuff separated/palletized and ready for sale! Just some thoughts, CBODY67

Last I heard, a while back, the whole bonded title deal is to ensure that the seller is really the owner (or the owner's agent) rather than somebody else. Supposed to protect the new buyer from somebody coming up later and wanting THEIR car back? I believe the "death certificate" is the...

From the link above: Cars sell on Oct 13, Parts and car-related items on Oct 14. Auctions start at 10am CDST Online auction. Starts at 10am CDST, ends at 10:43am? LOTS of interesting Mopars there! Each has a story, I suspect. Like the '58 Plaza with the 2x4bbl Hemi, 3-speed manual trans...

The website references when the cars and such will be sold. Not everything in one day.

In many cases, dealership archived paperwork was usually "moved" when file space became overloaded. Back then, it was "just paper" that was not needed after the statutory time it had to be retained. There might have been some various memorabilia (key chains, etc.) that might have been...

To better answer your question, you'll have to discover what the prior dealership in your town was. IF that dealer had been closed by Chrysler MID, for whatever reason, the listed selling dealer could have purchased it and used their then-current dealer code to operate with until such a time...
