I found a 72 Dart Swinger with the leaning tower of power in the junkyard today while getting parts for my wife's jeep. Now I've been blinded by shiny vehicles before, but while I was crawling all over the car, two other guys came over and were saying what I was thinking. What's a car this nice doing in a junkyard? There is some minor rust in a few spots, but the floor pans and frame rails are solid. The quarters were butchered by a hack, but that is actually easy to fix. The interior is in really good shape except for the carpet.
Because I find some junk car I want to buy about once a month I actually made an offer on the car. I won't know until tomorrow because the boss was not there. If the guy accepts then I will have three factory green cars. (Mach 1 was originally green) The only thing I would do is the basics and then drive it. Its a car that you could get running and drive all over the place. If it runs well enough I would drive it to work when the weather isn't crappy.
It won't distract me too much from the Falcon. The Falcon only needs a few more parts to get rolling!
