Salvage yard photos...

the tail light panel on that 68 is worth a hundred bucks or more.

Did you get the VIN's to match any of the 3rd generation chargers?

If you have any matching pictures and VINs for 1971 Chargers, please let me know.

If you want to see a growing collection of pictures of '71Chargers, got  to:

I've got several hundred so far.

Those 71 marker lights are hard to find, they'd be worth snagging if there cheap. Thanks for the pics.

I think I saw a 3rd gen Spring Special.

[terrible one]

  I paid $80.06 for this panel that is right under the filler deck.  I don't know the actual name for it, but it is rotted on my '69 so I had no choice.  So I guess it wasn't that pricey after all.

I don't think that's too bad. It's called a dutchman panel I do believe. There are repros available but I'm not sure on the price. . .

GREAT PICTURES!

Very cool pictures, wish I could find a place like that.......

There are SOOOOOO many good parts I saw in there, 69 Barracuda trunk trim, e-body doors, Charger bumpers, Challenger bumpers, etc...

If the guys is reasonable, you could make some good money off some of that stuff.

Where is the place, I'll go through and inventory it, for you.

"where is that place?  i can tell its in texas"
It is in Seguin, Texas, about 40 miles east of San Antonio.  The place is called John's Salvage. 

he also said it was pretty pricy. which would kind of explain why there are still some decent almost complete cars in there.. there are tons of big boy vendors in texas, and i'm sure they all know this place(texas acres, dr mopar, texas toy box) etc.. basically there aren't TOO many secrets left in texas.. hell i bought 10 chargers from one guy in southern oklahoma who had 35 of them. and had gotten them ALL around the dallas area back in the 90's...i will say though 80 isn't all that bad for the dutchman panel if there weren't any rust surprises...i've never been there myself.. i was told it was worth the time... to look. not buy.. well if there's one thing i hate is to be in a candy store but can't afford the candy...

hell i bought 10 chargers from one guy in southern oklahoma who had 35 of them. and had gotten them ALL around the dallas area back in the 90's

I got several parts there and they were reasonably priced. I got a pair of seats for $200, a door for $150, and a few other odds and ends. I kind of felt uncomfortable there with all the pitbulls and such.

lol yeah those dogs are intimidating.. the 3 of them have run a circle big enough to set a spaceship in.. he did have a ton of stuff though. does he still have anything left? he was selling off when i was buying and that was like 2 years ago

He still had quite a bit of stuff when I went around the end of December last year. There weren't very many cars that were worth saving, but there was a ton of parts that were still good. I could have spent all day looking around at the Chargers, Roadrunners, Cudas, and Challengers. He said he was going to crush all of them and just keep the new stuff, but from what I've heard, he has been saying that for years.

A great place for you New England'ers to check out is Ayotte's Salvage in Oxford Maine. Not too many 2nd generation Charger stuff left (but he does have a ton of clean doors), there is lots of other 2nd generation Mopars in there including Taxi's and even a student driver coronet. There are lots of 3rd generation Charger and non Charger B bodies in there.

I cant believe I didnt see this thread yet.  . Can I use those pics for my site?

[dukeboy_318]

too bad theres nothing like that in indiana or surrounding states, too much rust to have that type of yard here, but if anyone knows of any close to indiana, let me know 

[blackcharger]

man some of those cars look drivable compared to the once in a blue moon picked to the bone stuff tht shows up in these parts.

[hemihead]

Absolutely nothing like that here in SW PA . Back in the 80's maybe but not now . Even if there was, these people around here would want $50 for a lugnut because it's old .

[JimShine]

Usually the yards that are still intact are only intact because the prices are not a screaming bargain and the guys know better than to crush. It is sad because most of these guys would rather let the cars rot away than let the cars or parts go reasonably.

  sometimes you have to walk that thin line , have to make money to stay in this buisness , but you dont want to get the rep for high prices and run everyone off also

[JimShine]

If they have been around long enough to still have the cars, I am sure they know what they are doing. It seems that most of the old places are still run by the old owners or have been passed down. Most of these guys just need to make enough to throw a couple bucks into taxes and keep the fridge stocked with Budweiser and TV dinners.

  sometimes you have to walk that thin line , have to make money to stay in this buisness , but you dont want to get the rep for high prices and run everyone off also

     That's the truth in any business but you have to factor in supply and demand also.

[moparstuart]

thats why i specialize in late model insurance quality stuff , and collect the old stuff for me , not much demand . wouldnt stay in buisness long if i just sold the old stuff.

Thanks Jim, now there will be nothing left for us.

Anyone know what they would want for a passenger side '68 or 9 fender???

Need you always ask that?  Seriously, just copy and paste.  If it's out there, it's out there.     And if they tell you no, I'll do it, and send it to you.   (not really, just making a point)

Yes, legally he has to ask.  Otherwise he can get in trouble, again, for use without permission.
