Re: old mopars drying up?

[chymar01@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. Especially the last two years or so. 
I used to find stuff on a pretty regular basis(I'm in NJ), but the finds have dropped dramatically. I think we lost quite a few rebuildables when the scrap prices shot up two years ago. Here it was over $16/100lbs. I picked up an '87 Ramcharger, tok off the bumpers, radiator, A/C compressor and evaporator, wheels and a bunch of other stuff and still got nearly $500 for scrap. One of the local junkyards closed to daily business and started clearing out the old stuff and anything heavily picked over. They made 35k in a month. 
Seems all I can find now are really nice, expensive cars or completely trashed projects not worth resurrecting.

Subject: old mopars drying up? 


Hi all, I have been noticing that here locally there just doesnt seem 
to be that many old mopars ( or musclecars period) advertised as much 
or as often as five years ago. Seems like the various craigslists 
cities here in oregon used to offer up all sorts of mopars, but 
lately over the last couple years, u just don't see that much 
advertised. Can we assume that all the old Mopars have been harvested 
or is the economy making people play their cards close to the chest 
and hold out on selling hoping for a better day? 
You guys used to tease me aBOUT HOW MANY mOPARS i WOULD FIND IN 
OREGON HERE FOR SALE, some of which I bought, but now its a rare day. 
Just wondering if you guys see this drying up in other parts of 
the country as well
