Where are you guys finding them?

[joeb99362]

Still looking for the "The One", which if you read my intro would be a 68-71 Charger. Not losing hope, just was wondering...where are you guys having luck finding your cars?

In the old days my friends and I would cruise for hours around small towns, out in the country, and sometimes crawl through many old salvage yards looking for the cars we wanted. Sometimes we would trade with other MOPAR enthusiasts. Being much older now with an actual bankroll, I have been cruising Ebay and Craigslist, as well as hitting the car shows to talk with as many people as I can looking for leads.

So what works or is working for you guys?

I used to drive alleys looking in back yards deep in neighborhoods ESPECIALLY the neighborhoods many would not go in. Those days are over for me. The stuff by the well travelled streets is loooong gone.

The best sources today are talking to people that comment on your old car when you are out driving it OR the guys at the auto parts stores who often know of an old car and can't afford to buy it.

I don't know where woodward , Ok. is from Durrant , Ok. , but , There's a guy just west of Durrant . His name is James Evans . Last time I went his way he was hauling in everything in from the mid 70's . I know it's a little later than what your looking for , but he might be able to scrounge up something like what your looking for in your time frame .

Does he run a business? We make it over to Lake Eufaula several times a year and that's pretty close.

Woodward is NW OK near the pan handle. West of Alva, East of Guymon.

Sometimes I'm not real clear, so just to go on the record. I guess I was just wanting to read stories of where you guys found your rides. Through that I guess I was hoping for inspiration of new places to look that I had not thought of. I do appreciate and accept any tips though.:grin:

I bought my 69 Bee from an ad. in the local auto trader here in the Detroit area 17 years ago. I still have the ad. Most of the other Mopars that I've owned I've found by word of mouth from other car guys and ads on the internet. My T/A I found on Ebay after looking at 5 others bought it just 4 miles from my house, but not through Ebay.

Kinda I guess . I mean the place where I found him was a small auto resale dealership. There's another in Durrant on 3rd street I think . It's a salvage yard that resales some of the really nice cars they get . I bought my front runners off a 67/68 cougar there . Last time I was out that way they had a
73ish Nova there for sale .
