I hit the Jackpot!

We all know how most of those stories go. A friend of a friend has all of these old Mopars in his back field, you know that one don't you? Well, this time it was true. This guy had cars dating back to the 50's. Most were rusted into oblivion which I didn't mind as I was looking for engines. This is what I found.
One Tuff wheel
One set of a-body sport mirrors.
Out of 76 Duster

1973 400-4bbl
727 tranny
8 3/4 complete, sure-grip
All out of 73 Charger SE

1972 440-4bbl
Out of New Yorker

Cost- Tuff wheel and mirrors - $30
400/727/8 3/4 ------------ $150
440 ----------------------------#150

A day like this ------- priceless

Way to go Jack,....now if you could only pass some of that good forture around :thumblef:

I'm keeping this little gold mine to myself. There may be some other stuff there I want. There was a 741 peglegger there also. I didn't have my measuring tape with me to see what it was out of but it was narrow if you get my drift. I also got a 400/c6 combo for my brothers Rustang project for $100. Needless to say, he was very impressed.

now that is a story! this is a truly great find! congrats Coyote Jack! next time how about some pics of this place. :worthles: seems like a lost tomb for mopars:faroah:

Great find, I have not found any gold mine yet, up here in Minnesota, I have only been here for 2 monthes. But I did find a 1963
Pontiac Catalina, from a 96 year old lady, original owner, she can't
drive it any more. Interior is mint, but the body has a little rust
but over all in solid shape. I also had a guy come down to the
gas station yesterday, and he has an old 1971 International Scout,
that's been sitting for 20 years. I love when people come down to
the station and fill me in on these old cars. I have not talked to the
guy with the rolled over GTX, and I haven't been to the man's
farm with all the Hemi- parts. Its getting nicer outside so I'm
going to check on these in the next couple weeks.
Again, Great Find!! they are out there.

orangedust,
You should run to see those hemi parts as fast as you can. You never know, you might get the engine of your dreams.
