    there's a very similar matador in an all mopar junk yard around here-i always walk around it several times. lots of interesting features both in and out of those cars.
    you never see them either.
    cool pics.

    '60 Dodge Matador 2dht is a pretty valuable car, and that one doesn't even look that rusty considering how prone to rot they are. Someone on the Forwardlook site would restore that, or ship it to Sweden.

    I love walking through these old yards and looking at what was once someone's pride and joy. Wondering about all the living - laughing - loving - crying - dying that went on inside these cars so long ago. Did someone hear about Kennedy being shot on the radio in that old Matador? Did they weep at the wheel? Every one of those cars has a story, and sometimes you can find a clue or two if you look close enough.

    That Matador is a beauty - too bad she's rotting away. I remember tons of cool looking Mopars around as a child - very distinct - but they sure disappeared quick.

    Thanks for the pics.

    The '55-'56 Imperial should have those funny valve covers with the plugs in the middle we all like.

    Find out how much he wants for that Dodge Matador. I know someone will rescue that car. From the looks of it, it isn't too far gone. Are the floors really gone, 'cause the body looks real nice. Can you take some pictures of the interior and inside the trunk?

    Stude-Sled, that blue Chrysler didn't look to have been outdoors for too many years. Lots of good parts. The side-trim config. doesn't seem routine. Is that a New Yorker? Happen to see if it has a Hemi in it? Thanks -- Jimi
