Imperial R.I.P.

It's not funny.
It's not a joke.
It's not an epic whoop.


But, it is a bit sad.

I had these images and no place to put them.

My first car came with studded snow tires in the trunk just like the one in the pic! Lol that’s going back quite a bit.

I'm hurt over the 70 Monaco in the background . That stings a little on my end.

do you have the number of that yard so I can call them for parts

This one has been resting for a long time, but I will be retrieving her once the foliage dies down a little. It came with the B5 car purchase. There's a few good parts still left on her.

Personally I like to see good looking cars on a calendar, not neglected hulks that are slowly being reclaimed by the earth.

So sad. Unfortunately we can't save all of them.

I rescued this orphan coupe in the Arkansas wild a few years ago, lol.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat fuel, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for rust thou art, and unto rust shalt thou return.

Is this a new tv show like life after people? Life after mopar lovers? Scary stuff. Got a hunch those trees were not there when those cars were placed there. They were probably only guilty of burning oil & having rusting rears at the time. It’s cool they were collected but far beyond repair on a C body scale. I’m torn in many directions on this. Hopefully there will be something left to work with if they become more valuable than the cost of complete resto someday.

Back in the day it was all field. Most were guilty of consumption. He had a 69 road runner convertible with a 383 4 speed that was literally driven to its spot.
It has always been a salvage yard.

Wish there was yards like that In my neck of the woods. A couple I remember but long gone now. Most. Of the old timers up this way scraped cars to pay property taxes when it got tight a few years back. Amazing they survived the scrap price increase of all those desert wars. Although taxes are probably much less in the sticks. Everyone wants to shove a cookie cutter colonial in every empty spot in my area

 

[Moparwilks]

Hey, if you’re gonna horde, horde top shelf! I looks like he certainly did. Lol. There’s imperial gold in them hills.

 

[LeBaron1973]

Hope they can be salvaged for whatever remains useful then scrapped, nothing gained by letting them rot.
