Dave "1969383valiant" Wayne and myself went up to the far to get another load of E-body Parts. There are several trailers filled with parts. We opened one and were amazed at every thing that is in them.

My son wanted us to grab a old Hemi while we were there but there was no room on the trailer. There is so much there we didn't put a dent in it. Tomorrow I have to unload we are going back up next end.

I think we brought back 10 automatics and three more rears in housings and more chunks. Boxes of parts that are filled.

I never saw so many mopar parts stored in this many trailers. Its a shame he died and all the cars burned. This was quite a collection of E-body parts. But it is mixed with some A and B-bodies. Look close at the pictures. Remember I am coming to Carlisle

Yesterday Wayne and I tore some other rears apart we brought back. E-body B-body and a C- body. All sure grips 323 355 391. We now have 5 18 spline and 7 to 9 23 spline . We made it about 20 ft of heavy parts into one 53 foot trailer. Now we got to the good stuff for next time in that trailer. Wayne wants to recoup some money for the owners wife. I am sure Dave took pictures He may have some of other things that are there for the interested.

I don't care about the parts, but I wouldn't mind coming to Carlisle just to meet your grumpy old ***.

WOW, just goes to show , ''u cant take it with you !"
 
Now the thing to do is to make sure these parts go to people that need them for their cars. There is tons of E-body parts here. Wayne has been selling things to some guys that have been reselling. That stops now. If anyone knows an e-body owner they can reach me on this site to come to my place. I give my phone number to many. If someone stands me up don't call back. We would like to help owners of projects with affordable parts. Wayne has filled three houses , His , his brothers , and his moms. He is out of room.

He took the majority with him in the barn fire. Two buildings were lost and over 20 complete rare e-body cars and tons of parts that were in the barns. The cause was a snowmobile fire.

There is still two 100x100 pole buildings and many trailers of all sizes with parts in. One of the cars that survived was this 440+6 4 spd. Cuda. original paint no rust. No it is not for sale.

From six packs to cross rams Wayne keeps finding parts stored for years. Motors. Transmisions and rears are on the bottom and interior and sheet metal on top. Three layers divided with plywood. from when it was all moved to this farm in Pa. There is a row of trailers backed up to a loading dock and more trailers in front of them that we can't get to the doors on those trailers. We got 1/3 the way through the first trailer so far that we can see the floor.

He also collected John Deere tractors and snowmobiles and jet skis. His son is keeping what he wants for the farm. Roger was a good guy I knew him many years ago. I met him at my garage with wayne. That was in the 80's and he already had barns filled with Cudas and Challengers at 15 yrs old.

I am not that far from Carlisle. You can come over anytime

Thanks. If I ever get up that way, I will let you know. I'd love to come chew the fat and see your stuff. Although that would take days I am sure....
 
WOW, WOW, that's a ton of Mopar stuff that looks to be in usable shape as is or with very little work.

If there was a guy who could identify, sort and organize all those parts, its you.
And those of us who have met you know you're fair. Couldn't have gone into better hands.
 
Theres an article similar to this on the internet about a high performance chevy collector named Don Schlag who collected 48 semi trailers full of cars and parts then welded the doors shut and put the trailers back to back. The amount of stuff was insane. This is kinda like that. Holy ****!!! That's a lot of parts, I'm tired just looking at it all.

Wow that is a LOT of cool but heavy stuff!!! Did I say heavy!???????????????// How's your back today!??

I have a life long Mopar bud back in Missouri that has collected stuff since the 80's, maybe earlier, and never sold anything. I did good to get a trade with him for something! My stuff always came and went. One day I got fed up and gave a good Mopar bud a good size U Haul truck full of that heavy stuff!! I piled it up in front of his gargage door and surprised him!!!! lol!!

I feel like a spring chicken. I don't know about Dave "1969383valiant" he did all the lifting with Wayne. We are going back out Saturday with two trucks and trailers and some young hired help. I don't think we really got to the heavy stuff. I saw 2 440's and a couple 340's and a Hemi that are coming home this time. No one knows whats under the first layer as we get to the middle of the trailer we peek under with flashlights for incentive to keep digging.

This last trip cost 7 whoppers, 3 crispy chicken. 3 fries and two onion rings. 4 root beers. and $50 in fuel. I am not worried I believe I am still in the green. LOL
 
Wish I was closer. Could use a few things for my Challenger.


Once I get time I will list things on "this site " and ship. It is my only gold membership. I am sure the news will spread. So far we have 8 pistol grips . 2 boxes of linkage auto and 4 spd so many dash clusters. 8k and 7k tachs. We can see many many hoods some still in boxes we can't get to them yet without standing on good parts. These pictures should get interesting stay tuned. The hoods are on there sides and go from one side to another . There is about 20 ft. in front of them we can't see yet. Dave is taking the pictures.
 
I should bring my wife and let her look at all that stuff. Maybe then she would hush about me needing to better organize my parts! I hope the guy who died at least got a lot of enjoyment out of collecting all that stuff. :(

He was a good friend of Waynes. From what I understand when he got older he was into John Deere tractors. These cars and parts sat like this since he moved to the new farm. As Roger got older Wayne said he lost interest in the cars and was more into John Deere's , Pulling tractors, Cat snowmobiles, and jet skis as he raised his family of three . Those collections are also huge at the same farm. The man had it all and lost his life to a stupid mistake . Its been several years and I can tell it still bothers Wayne when he talks about him.

That's such a shame for everyone connected to him. :( I've been a lineman for the power company my whole adult life, and once got called to go to a house fire and kill the power to a house for the Fire Dept. It was in a fancy subdivision close to where I was at the time, and I got there pretty quick. A guy was selling one of those old and rare gull wing Mercedes, and was draining the gas from the tank to put in fresh gas, because he had sold the car in Hemmings. He had a drop light under the car, and when he took the drain plug out of the bottom of the tank, gas gushed onto the drop light and the hot bulb burst. KABOOMYOW! The guy got burnt very badly, and it burnt his house to the ground pretty quickly. A careless mistake can cost you dearly.
