Went to Junk Yard for First Time in Months....Here's What I Found

[64 SRT8 Dart]

Haven't posted in a while so.....With nothing to do on my list today, I decided to visit the yard. Findings include:

75 Valiant
93, 90, 87, 88 Ramchargers
78 Tradesman Van w/440!
77 1 ton pick up 4x4 w/ Dana 60 and 440!
73 Long bed 3/4T 4x4 w/BB and 4spd!
Several 80's pickups.

Got pics of the good ones. Just can't believe some people let these go!

Will post pics when I get back from eating. Wish I was independently wealthy rotest:

Would like to see pictures of the 77 one ton if by chance you have some! It was a beautiful Colorado day for the last day of November.

75 Vali pics

The rear seat was in immaculate condition as well as the carpet, headliner, and package tray, most door panels and arm rests. Heck the vinyl top looks new. Someone took great care of the car but for some reason junked it. Look how shiny and clean the inside of the radiator is!! All windows were good as well. Car is a slant six with auto trans, 7.25 rear and disc brakes up front. Both front fenders are solid with NO rust OR dents amazingly. Bumpers were starting to peel as they were rusted under the chrome really good. And, of course, I grabbed the spindles, dust shields, and caliper brackets....yes they are bbp and big ball joint. They will be available to buy shortly, lol.

73 BB 4spd truck. Trans and bell housing are on the ground in front. I didn't know they made an 8-lug 9 1/4" rear?? That was new to me.

77 4x4 440 truck.

The last truck in pictures - factory square bore intake and looks like a factory chrome valve cover - check that, it may well be a factory (67-69?) 440 HP engine out of something else.....steel crank?

 

[66340SEDAN]

Wow, lots of parts on that stuff....those plastic door panels in those trucks are an easy sell and can brig good money, same with the entire dash pad and glove box door. The one 440 could be an older one, it has the older intake on it for an AVS carb and that chrome valve cover is a factory one for a HP big block... I would check the numbers on that block cause it could be a HP motor.

And that A-body, those front benders look clean...I would scarf up all the good parts to save them and lit them here for sale to make some extra $ :glasses7:

78 Tradesman Van w/440

The tilt column in that van is cool...never knew they came that way...was that a "Shaggin Waggin" custom van? Any more pics?

Believe me Keith, if I could I would!! I was just telling my wife that, lol. Unfortunately, I could buy it but couldn't sit on the stuff as long as others to sell....would have to go quick. Posting in hopes that others may see, hit me up, send the funds, and I could send it to them.

More pics of the Ramchargers. One has a factory sun roof in it!! The front fenders on the white one are in perfect shape!

 

[64 SRT8 Dart]

More

 

[66340SEDAN]

Wow, those Ramchargers are a treasure trove of parts! Maybe send Memike a PM...he might need some parts from those. Did you happen to notice if they had a decent pair of tail lights? My dad could use a pair for his 84 Truck

Is this at A-1 at the south end of springs?

 

[64 SRT8 Dart]

Looks like I may make a trip tomorrow to look at that 77 440 motor, check for the year and an HP stamp on the pad. I thought about the chrome valve cover but figured it may have been added. Didn't think about the manifold though.

 

[64 SRT8 Dart]

Oh yeah, the last RC has a factory roof rack too!

Good idea, check for a steel crank and snatch it up quick :glasses7:

Hmmm, should I divulge such info to someone who's within driving distance?? lol

Yes, Rani, it is, lol.

Yes, Rani, it is, lol.

Uh oh...good bye 440's lol

 

[64 SRT8 Dart]

If she can, I would if I were she!!! Do it Rani....save them!!! I'll help you pull them. They did raise their prices on the engines though. They used to be $150 plus core, then $199 plus core, now they're up to $250 plus a $50 core!!! And, keep in mind, they CRUSH all these!!! Regardless of rarity or not.....so to charge a core is just plain rediculous!!! Doesn't make any kind of sense other than $$$sense

 

[Princess Valiant]

Uh oh...good bye 440's lol

If she can, I would if I were she!!! Do it Rani....save them!!!

maybe if they are still there in another week .......bad time to be busted.....after this holiday week I turn my purse over and only lint is falling out. #-o

 

[Princess Valiant]

how is the grille on the 75 valiant ....that is the main thing I want

 

[64 SRT8 Dart]

The grille itself is in pretty good shape. It's not busted or anything....yet, until some fool starts beating on the car and just breaks it out. The Plymouth center emblem is missing as well as the headlight surrounds.

If someone would purchase my Valiant, it would free up some funds to save these things! LOL
