This Florida car has been sitting, untouched, for the past eight years. It looks to be in great shape. I’m liking the bumble bee stripe. As found in Cars in Barns.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Yard Find
A Moparts member just saved this rotting 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Wisconsin.
“A 383, 4-speed car. Parked in this spot in about 1989 and never moved. A time capsule to some degree, but frame and floor pans are rotted out. The massive holes in the floors allowed many critters to make it a home and a toilet. I’ve never seen a nastier interior. At least 2 cat skulls so far.”
Hopefully it will be back on the road soon!
Dodge Dart Swinger Sitting in Storage
She’s dusty, been sitting for years and is not for sale but at least is sheltered and dry. As found at Cars In Barns. More pics after the jump!
1968 Plymouth Barracuda Barn Find
Not much info available on this 1968 340 Barracuda Formula S, which appeared in Cars in Barns (scroll below the Mustang) other than the fact that it’s located in upstate New York. More pics after the jump!
1970 Dodge Coronet R/T Barn Find
1970 Barracuda Idle for 37 Years
Barn finds are still be found. Hot Rod reported on this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that was parked in 1977 due to an unidentified issue. The car, and everything around it, has not been touched since that day. One can say it’s “only” a 318 automatic but that just means that it’s not too rare and valuable to drive and enjoy. More pics after the jump!
1965 Plymouth Barracuda at the Charles Kee Estate
The Charles Kee auction starts tomorrow! They just posted the complete catalog today, take a look.
The next car we are featuring is a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda, VIN number V852527557. It is a factory 273 4 bbl commando V8 automatic car with a floor shifter. A 4 bbl in one of these is pretty rare. This Cuda is very clean and is a loaded model. We see power brakes, floor shift auto, bucket seats, chrome air cleaner, black valve covers, wood grain wheel and the top of the line hub caps. It has silver exterior with black interior and black stripes.
1966 Chrysler Newport in the Charles Kee Collection
Miss our last post on the Kee collection? James G. Murphy will hold the estate sale of Charles Kee on May 8 and 9 in Brothers, Oregon. Charles has a huge collection of Mopar cars and parts and we got the opportunity to go out and look at some of the stuff. Read more about the 1966 Chrysler Newport in this collection after the jump! (We want to apologize that some of the pictures in this post are not very good–it was 35 degrees and raining with a 30 MPH wind when we took these, our camera got some water on it a few times).
1970 Dodge Charger: a Boy’s First Car
When your father hosts a Youtube show called Hot Rod Hunt, you know good things will follow. Rick Moore purchased a barn find 1970 Charger R/T and gave it to his 13 year old son, Ricky, who’s favorite car is the 68-70 Charger. As it was a drag car, the 440 and 727 have very few miles and the car has only limited modifications. Ward Cleaver could learn a few things from this guy! Find the story at Street Legal TV. Video after the jump!
Charles Kee Collection in Brothers, Oregon
Did you want to go to the Lambrecht collection auction but live in the Northwest? Did you want to go but are only a Mopar fan? Well, here is your chance. The Charles Kee collection is going up for auction on May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon. Where is Brothers, you ask? It’s in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Oregon, about an hour east of Bend, Oregon. It was a five hour drive for us from Olympia, Washington. Charles Kee was collecting cars to try to start a museum but unfortunately passed away before seeing his dreams come true.
This is an amazing collection of cars and parts but unfortunately a few years ago some Europeans came in and bought a bunch of the better cars from the collection. Most of what are left are C-bodies and 4-door Chryslers with a few scattered B- and A-bodies. Still some good projects in the bunch, however.
We got the opportunity to see the collection and have the scoop on the cars and parts that are going up for auction. Here are some general pictures and we are going to have more details on a few of the best cars. The auction is being run by James G. Murphy–here is a link to the preliminary catalog. Anyone want more info on any cars in particular?
