    You can tell winter is coming, as I've been stocking up on parts cars for off season recreation. I bought 5 cars this week for $100 total. Here is the best of the 5.

    1972 that was in a barn for a very long time. License plates are dated 1983! Body is rotted but the floors and frame are in pretty good shape! No motor (was a 250) but otherwise complete. Many good parts on her.

    Also picked up a 74 2 door - 74 4 door - and 2 Granadas :bananaman

    Save that Vinyl Top Trim ... perhaps I started a trend! :)


    Hard to tell the condition but those center Grill Emblems have been bringing good money as well if they are nice ...

    Here are the other cars - I've already spent 2 days stripping them so there not very pretty anymore ;)

    Only things to come off yet are the 5 lug rears and the front disk brakes. Guy that owns this "secret spot" yard is gonna torch it all off for me next week.
