The one that got away

[bluefury361]

I learned that lesson long ago. Either don't look until your ready to buy or trade. Or .... If it finds you, buy it and figure out how to pay for it later. Money comes and money go's ..... Not so for some cars.

That's some good advice right there!

Yah i knew of this car from last year and the yard was shut down and sold so i had to try and move on it in a very short period of time, on another sadder note, the car went to a scrap yard, i am trying now to get that phone number and work something out, even if i dont have the money maybe someone else can grab it.

If it was sitting there for 30 years in a humid NC climate, it seems the underside would be a rust nightmare, wouldn't it? Kind of like that blue 70 300 on ebay now with the stuck engine and subframe that needs replacing it seems.

The car was sent to a scrap yard?? How did that happen if they knew someone was interested in buying it? What did I miss?

Not NC but Texas, dry and dusty, the interior was dried out and it had some rust in the trunk and a hole in the drivers floor from the front cracked windscreen i would say, certainly a lot less rust than the charger i have been repairing.

Well I was told another buyer was getting it, the guy needed the yard cleared out asap and he isnt into Mopars at all he bought the yard and the cars were there, i didnt find out until after it happened that it was a scrap dealer.

Correct me if I am wrong. But if that's the car I think it is an estimate of about 1k from some forum members was considered an insult back then; now it is said to have sold for 750 Dollars.
