The Trip to Bountiful. . . Benny's

[Ripinator]

Spent time last week at the Chrysler 300 Club, Intl. Fall Meet at the Mountain Lake Lodge near Blacksburg, VA. On Thursday, we took a tour of Benny Buckner's Mopar junk yard in Princeton, WV. I took a few pictures that may be of interest. Benny has parts, parts-cars and finished / restored cars. Here are 10 shots, and I have more if anyone is interested.

Great photo's, you don't see yard cars that nice in my neck of the woods.

I think it was a column shift, and the interior looked pretty well baked. . .

I know....I know, Dave.. A 440 NY'r coup. I'm desperately trying to come up with a good logical argument for why I need to drive out to Princeton WV. Why couldn't this be in Jersey.

I just google/map the address. 7hr ride for me...one way. Was hoping it was at worse a day trip there a back, go out there at sun up, get back at dusk.
That about kills any chances for me, go ahead and have at it. :sad11:
