Came across an old fax from '94 that I got in reply to a list of project cars I was curious about. John said they had a Dark green on green 500, auto with cowl damage, $4500. Anyone know what became of this car? Pics?

About 1992 I got an 833 trans. from him and he had a 500 that was a burner that he wanted $10K for. Wonder if it was the same car...

The burnt 500 at R&R  was a Hemi 500-- think  it came from IL.

The Blue HEMI 500 that was at RR has been restored and still around. Very nice looking ride now too I might add.

The burnt Hemi 500 at R & R was said to be Kyle Drake's old car.   I recently posted a pic of it when it was in the storage lot with MoparJohn's Daytonas years before.   It was a bronze car.

The roasted hemi 500 is most likely the kyle drake car that came out of here in  KC  .  It sat in the junk yard down of 435 back in the 70's next to mopar johns two daytona's .
Kyle barn burnt to the ground and slobe bought what was left of the car .   I'm sure the title and numbers for that car are still out there somewhere .

that building was awesome. 6 pack cars hemi's, sox cars. i was down there 1 time looking for a charger windshield and they had one in that building against the wall. we went in to check it out to see if he needed to pull one.while in there of course he had to give me the tour. OMG...... i thought i was in heaven. i do remember a triple black charger with the 440 six pack setting first in the row on the left. it was hard to move past that one car. :drool5:

Here's the fax I sent that had the 500 listed. Nice sampling of the inventory list  :drool5:

Sounded like an amazing place to see back in the day. I saw a stack of pictures a friend of my brother took when he stopped in after coming back from Texas with a car and load of parts in '90. They were saying the Hemi cars had blue tarps on them and there were a quite number of blue tarps in the background of the pictures. There was a shot of a green 500 as well in the grass. Must have been the same one.

Awesome pictures. I would love to even have a Charger 500 in the same condition as yours. My clone will be cool to have but if I ever had the chance to own a real one, I'd love it!!

Thanks for posting!

I remember shortly before they closed out completly, seeing project cars being towed up 55 heading towards Mopar City in Oregan IL.  I wish I had a camera back then :brickwall:

The charger R/T in those pics i got in 2001 from R&R and went back a few times after that.The guy from mopar city was there rounding up stuff.I just gave 300 dollars for it and a pickup bed full of parts.Didnt realize it was an R/T till i got home with it.I had just picked the best body out of the cars there and got it.
