I heard this on a Dodge forum, the yard is closing. They are in York, PA. One is a 1970, other a 1973. Both have until March and then its feeding time. Hoping someone here can save them. http://baughmansautoparts.com/rosterlist.php
At that top dollar price, being from PA and likely full of hidden cancer, they will most likely be getting crushed. Sad.
I bought some stuff from them when i was working out of Lancaster , lots of inventory and knowledgeable people. Old yard, wonder if the epa got them.
It wouldn't surprise me if those nazis did get them. but they way those screw balls work, they crush every last bolt with no chance of being sold. They actually look pretty solid and are probably at least worth looking into.
No way these will be crushed. They are worth too much, and everyone knows this. Someone from the yard will keep them, versus throwing them away. Cars that don't have a huge following, such as wagons, those get crushed when these yards close down, but Challengers, no way! This, you can take to the bank! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima David
I'd love to believe that. It seems possible. But there was this travesty in which NO body involved cared enough. Not one was spared. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=133401&highlight=600+crushed
At these prices they think they are sitting on gold. They likely already have people trying to negotiate them down to more reasonable prices, and if not, I too think they will find a place for them, (or at least the 70). Meanwhile, I believe the reproduction OEM style all steel 70 Challenger body by Dynacorn may already be available http://www.flickr.com/photos/29671464@N02/5170317480/. AMD already makes just about every individual piece of sheet metal needed to totally restore a Challenger.
The were one of the largest "mopar" junk yards around. I wonder if the old guy died it's been since 1989 when i was there.
I'd take that Chevy truck next to the Challenger!! I don't know why, but the Challengers never appealed to me. It would be a shame to see them crushed, but most scrap yards don't care what kinds of cars they have. I had a yard in Mich that had some neat cars in it, like a '70 Cougar Eliminator, 69 Z28 Crossram, 69 GTO, fuelie '57 Chevy and others. They all got crushed when the EPA came in and told the owner to shut down. They claim that all those old cars were leaking toxic liquids into the ground water. Sad
