you never know.There was a '66 Satellite near me that all the mopar guys had asked about Not for sale.So me and another guy tried our luck. The guy said "take it if you want it" So we went to U Haul to get a trailer. While we were digging the car out (had '72 plates on it) the guy comes out and says to me " you're welcome to that old truck if you want it ("39 Dodge pickup sitting behind the Plymouth), and there is another one of these cars on the hill you can have too" The '66 had been raced, he had the built 440 in his garage he wouldn't sell, but in the trunk was a steel bell housing, E Body Pistol Grip, and a 4 speed. The tail shaft of the trans was bent at a 45 degree angle. The other car was a '67 Satellite that had been hit HARD in the front in '74, and broke in half when we tried to move it, but I got the back half. I sold a lot of stuff off the cars. I had to let the truck go....I was getting married, and the new wife and inlaws (wife was living next door to her mom and dad) didn't want me bringing 4 parts cars with me.
Yes those darn in law's don't have a since of humor. :steering:
