A lot will depend on how much it will need to be roadworthy. (Brakes, tires, hoses, belts for sure. Gas tank and fuel system is also going to be toast if the vehicle had fuel in it when it was parked.) If this is a CHP car, it probably has the 440 and standard police options. "K" second digit...

One of the things that I think will end badly for us as a country. Taking a risk in play as a kid teaches kids to manage risk. Take the risk out of play with all the "safe" play ground stuff and where are kids going to learn about risk? I broke my arm twice as a kid but I learned not to do...

There is a funny article in today's edition of Breitbart about a guy in Finland who bought a new Tesla model 20. He drove it under 1000 miles and idiot lights started coming on. He took it to a repair shop and was told a new battery pack would cost $22,600. Not willing to pay that, he came up...

Yes, anything can probably be recycled. The question is at what cost. If it costs more to recycle something than it costs to build a new one, what is the point. Right now, lithium ion batteries wind up in the landfill because it is not cost effective to recycle them. Much of the stuff in...

The iron battery technology has a major advantage in that it is very unlikely to create a fire and it is a lot cheaper than lithium-ion batteries to produce.. Downside is that these batteries are very heavy, much too heavy for use in autos or trucks. Might offer good potential for storing...

The Fury is a keeper and a nice clean car, worth about 2 nice clean 318 darts. Dave

Also note that the V-8 cars command higher prices than the 6 cyl models, for what ever that is worth. Check the underside carefully as there is probably some hidden rust as noted. Dave

This yard reminds me of the one Louie Unbanski had in western Oregon, Berry vines and brush everywhere. He was a good source of used parts as he got most of the cars for towing them away back in the '50's and '60's and sold stuff cheap. Hauled the lot of them up into his woods and left them...

Mildew suggest non heated storage, more reasons that the brakes are likely not reliable. Dave

You need to find another dealer. A lot of them are installing these aftermarket goodies to bump their profit. And anyone who is not informed will pay thru the nose for these add-ons. The work a round is to order the truck you want without any options you do not want and note in the contract...

How far do you intend to drive it? After 14 years, the master cylinder and wheel cylinders are likely in bad shape. Pull the top off the master cylinder and see if it still contains fluid. You will probably find it empty. If the car has been parked for that long, you should probably not try...

In a closed space, the heater needs to be the type that can have the exhaust vented to the outside. Have you considered a wood stove? Relatively inexpensive to run. As noted, need to keep paint fumes, gasoline etc sealed up when running any type of heater including electric. Dave

Somewhere out in the Valley? Dave

True, but DL and DM Polaras could have the police options added. Some agencies did not order the DK package cruisers but instead built their own cruisers on the DL and DM platform. Who ever ordered this cruiser probably ordered the police options on a line by line basis which would explain the...

The horn ring that was full circumference was part of the special order police option package(s). My recollection is that the partial horn ring was standard if the full ring was not ordered. Without access to the build sheet it is anybody's guess what was spec'd for this particular vehicle as...

They are nearly always missing or rotted out, so you were lucky. Dave

For discussion purposes, this car has a fresh and somewhat sloppy repaint. The exhaust manifolds appear to be the log type, not expected on a '72 high performance. Also missing the heat stove and the flex tube. After market master cylinder. Most '72 cruisers were still running red warning...

Probably the best bet would be to do an inspection to see just what the vehicle needs. The $5k worth of interior is good if it is correct, if it somebody's idea of a custom job, not so much. Dave

By blown apart, I assume you mean taken apart. If it is disassembled, it is worth a lot less that a complete together car. A complete #4 condition is some where in the $10-$11k range. Probably would deduct about $2.5k for a project that is apart. Dave

It would be hard to imagine with all the high value targets available that the Russians would target the C-Body dry dock. But wait, the seem to be in everything else, so maybe they are bored. Dave
