How many of your personal cars ended up in junkyards?
The first for me was my Dad's '63 Dart 170. Motor locked up and tore the 7 1/4 out from underneath it ... and they say /6's run forever! Second was my new wife's '67 Mustang coupe. I swapped the smoking 289 out for a 302 out of her dad's totaled '71 Mustang. Ran good but the Detroit area salt just about rotted it in half. Along the same lines I sold my excellent condition '74 Hang 10 to a guy in Tampa back in '83. I saw it at a gas station about a year later. It had been gutted and turned into a drag car! Finally, I'm sure my '70 Challenger R/T (JS23N0B223928) met the scrapyard after I sold it in Detroit in '78 with a collapsed lifter. The kid I sold it to said he knew how to fix it! Sure. Never saw it again. I started looking for it to buy it back again in 1999 but it never shows up as registered anywhere in the US. I will never stop looking for it though.
