Yet another collection of neglected Mopars, but this time with a twist. The owner was NOT hording them and apparently agreed to sell. Let’s hope they went to good homes. See them at Cars in Barns. More pics after the jump.

An American in Paris
Back for a fourth attempt at the 2014 LeMans Classic, a semi-annual 24 hour tribute race in France in July, will be this 1974 Dodge Charger. The Hemi-powered car has “challenges” braking into corners but reels in the competition on the straights. No surprise that it’s always a fan favorite. Read more at Road and Track.
Don Garlits and the 426
Many a driver enjoyed racing success with the mighty 426. Don Garlits was one of the first to receive the new motor in 1964. To quote Don, “In my humble opinion, the Chrysler/Dodge 426 Hemi engine, was/is the best production engine ever manufactured by the automotive industry! No engine, to my knowledge, has the ability to produce so much raw power and still stay together. It will stand forever, as a monument to the engineering ability of the Ramchargers and their team.” Read more on Garlits take on the elephant motor at Street Legal TV.
Mopar Muscle Dream Collection
The owner of this incredible collection of muscle cars and race cars wishes to remain anonymous. He/she seems to have a soft spot for Mopars. See more at Street Legal TV. Video after the jump!
Snake and Mongoose Collection Fails to Hit Reserve
The combination package of the original Snake and Mongoose haulers, Don Prudhomme’s original 1970 Cuda and a McEwan tribute Plymouth Duster didn’t hit reserve (which was evidently north of $1 million) at Barrett Jackson. They were later sold privately to Rick Hendrick. See more at Hemmings.
The Other Auctions: RM and Gooding
Yesterday we decided to hit the other Arizona auctions that do not have a lot of Mopar stuff but still have some interesting cars. RM is a very high end auction with mostly European cars, Ferrari’s and older cars. Gooding has a nice mix of stuff as well and is similar to RM but the cars are not as high end. Gooding had an “as found” theme going on with three cars still covered in dust and grime going up for auction.
These cars were from RM and includes a couple of Imperials, a Hemi powered Facel Vega, and a Chrysler 300B. More pics after the jump!
