1k and did run when parked in 2014 by all accounts…it certainly didn’t run in the summer, when it was dragged back out of where it was parked and parted out. To much rot for even the banger racers to want to patch it up and hammer around the racetrack
Looks like what's for sale down here for $6- 8 K

I'm stripping it for my other 64dart. That's pretty much all it's good for

Here is the 1937 Dodge coupe Dad bought for $1400 delivered. At best this thing was a picked over parts car, but we gave it new lease on life with new,,,,,,,,well,,,, EVERYTHING. I actually siad Oh NO! when this thing showed up.
We added a 392 Hemi, Torqueflite, 8.75 as well as a few thousand hours labor.

I live in the area where all the flooding was. I'd heard about that car, and hadn't seen the pic until the other day. It was in what's called The River Arts District, which is right along the French Broad River. Prior to Helene, the worst flood in history was in 1916 when 2 tropical storms met in Asheville. One came from the Gulf and the other from the Atlantic. Helene's flood water crested 11' higher than the 1916 flood. My buddies machine shop is maybe a mile upriver from where this car probably was. He has built race engines for decades and has put many NASCAR drivers in the winners circle. Dale Earnhardt, David Pearson, Jack Ingram, Ricky Rudd, Robert Pressley and quite a few others. He lost everything he had, and says at 81 years old, he ain't gonna start over.
I was very fortunate to have no flooding due to living on higher ground. All we had was a top of a Wild Cherry tree break out in the wind and bust the split rail fence at the end of our driveway.Thanks for sharing, I live in Indiana but frequent Asheville often. It grieves me to see this devastation.I live in the area where all the flooding was. I'd heard about that car, and hadn't seen the pic until the other day.
