My dad spent 2 yeas in Vietnam as an officer in the Marine Corp. He lived day to by thinking about Mopars and drag racing. When he got home he ordered a 71 Hemi Cuda, a car we still own. He taught me that Mopars have souls, above all other cars Mopars were special. He taught me that to love Mopars it takes courage because it’s easy to be a Chevy or Ford man but be a Mopar man takes courage. He told me you will win at the drag strip and the stop light but you will need to be a thinking man and have guts. We have 5 Mopars in the family from a Hemi Cuda to a 440 six pack Road Runner. Mopar or no car.
Some people make fun of people who keep this stuff but honestly you gotta be very thankful that this man was able to preserve a bunch of history this is amazing
@@dennislang4375 I agree. If you aren't going to restore them - sell them. Don't hold onto them. Realistic, keep a few cars for yourself to restore and sell the rest to buy what you need to restore the others. It's ridiculous to let these cars sit in the rain, weeds and moisture and rust themselves to death when they could be in someone else's garage getting restored. It makes much more sense to have 3-4 restored cars that run and drive rather than an entire field and garage full of rustbuckets.
As others have said, you don't realize that 95% of this stuff will go NOWHERE... its fun to collect all this vintage stuff, but you're also making it insanely harder for those of us who love this hobby to enjoy it as well. Mortality is a REAL thing, folks. When this guy dies, all he's taking with him is his rotted corpse and not the rotting metal in his yard.
Ever effort to save every car , part and the nostalgia of Mopar Muscle cars is the real value to all us Mopar fans , they don't have to be super special,they are all special
They're working on getting some on the road and I'd say he'd sell some of the ones he's not going to restore. Some guys wait too late and either die before getting to them or they sat out too long..but it seems to me the guy knows what are the big money cars. Yes it would be better if they were inside. But like the guy said the damage was done to most of them when they came there. He's actually doing a great thing otherwise they would be mashed into a cube by now
I've been a diehard Mopar guy all my life, have owned several over the years. All I can say about this place......actually I don't know what to say, I'm speechless. It's overwhelmingly amazing. Thanks for sharing this, I'd love to see it in person but I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to leave! Lol. Truly amazing.
My father owned a thrill show when I was born and I was born in Richmond VA because I wanted out and they were on the way to the NY state Fair! My dad got the contract for Dodge car's for the thrill show because my grandmother played bridge with one of the Dodge wives Check out the RUclips videos of the joi chitwood thrill show they used Chevy's but the shows were similar
Mind boggling, especially that it's Mopars, muscle cars, rare cars.... I wish I still had my 70 Cuda convertible 383, 4 spd Hurst PG, Top Banana, black top, black interior....
@@luvtoview1 I will try not to watch any of your videos because you are very rude and disrespectful with your remarks about why any of the cars are there
@@phillipcarpenter2668 Hmmm.... u must be replying to the wrong person?? I luv Mopars... had so many great ones, before I got heavily into Jeeps. My biggest beefs with Mopar are when they nearly ruined the Jeep 4.0 with cheap weak pistions in the late 90s... and then developed the AMC designed 4.7 with weak oiling/cooling system that makes it a fragile engine
@@phillipcarpenter2668 Lee Iococca was genuis in not only aquiring AMC, but also insisting that the AMC 'desgn and engineering dept was part of the deal. He recognized that those guys could do magic under duress when they had ore capital to work with. I had a long conversation with one of that team years ago at his home. Iacocca knew he needed those guys to make Chrysler stronger.
Absolutely Incredible! Thing is though, nobody lives forever and this owner Must Sell as much as he can and have a Will in place that can ensure a positive future for the property and everything that he owns on it. EVERYTHING! You can’t take it with you! ! !
JUST FYI... there is going to be TWO MORE videos coming. First video will be of another Mopar graveyard with even more cars than this video. The second video we will return to find out exactly what cars are for sale. Stay tuned.
If you have seen the four door ‘70 Barracuda, you know Steve is an extremely talented builder. If you watched this video to the end, you know Steve has the patience of a saint.
That was an amazing thing to watch. Thank you Larry for sharing, and for Rich and Steve for allowing us to get a glimpse into this incredible collection and for saving so many special cars from the crusher. It was like having a private tour of some famous museum for super rare Mopars (don’t care that they are ratty, they are still amazing). Steve’s ability to remember the specific details of each car is also very impressive. I own a 1969 A12 Super Bee that I saw as a teenager and fell in love with. I worked crazy hard that summer (’87) and was able to buy it from a local dealer. My first car ever was a ’69 Coronet 500 Convertible. I was hearbroken when I sold it to go to school. I would absolutely love to be able to restore any of these cars to their former glory. Specifically interested in the '68 Coronet R/T hemi convertible, the 440x6 Purple or Rootbeer Cudas (Hardtop), the Vitamin C Hemi Cuda 4spd, the ’70 triple black Hemi Charger, 440 (4spd) Purple Challenger Convertible and the ’69 Hemi RR. I know the purple '70 Challenger R/T 440 six pack convertible and the Cude are a friends, but if he’d every be interested in selling I would love to talk. Please PM me if any are available. Thanks again.
My first order, I ordered a silver super Bee from North Star Dodge in N. San Antonio. black vinyl top, black vinyl interior with buckets and Auto on the floor console. 383 magnum engine!
I am glad to see the collection of Mopars. I wondered where all MOPARS went. I know now. I could sense your exasperation at some many great cars that will probably never get finished because of time. Regardless, I am glad the owner was kind enough to let us see all his cars. Some of the joy of owning cars is sharing.
Looks like a lot of projects got started, perhaps years ago, and then were just left to sit. Yeah, it's a gold mine! But it's all his gold mine and he can do whatever he wants with it all. 👍
Yeah, the guy could be accused of hoarding these super rare & super valuable Mopar muscle cars, but give him credit for SAVING many of them from the crusher. The fact that these cars STILL EXIST & so many can still (eventually) be restored is just amazing, the hemis, 440 six-packs, & 440 4bbls... He's got enough parts cars & extra sheet metal to rebuild most of the cars, plus all the mechanical parts he has, he's got like what, 5 or 6 complete 426 hemi engines? A whole bunch of A833s in both 23 & 18 spline versions? He's probably got a bunch of Dana rear axles for both B & E bodies as well... He could sell enough of his "lesser" cars to raise the cash to restore the cream of the crop... Mark Worman, Dennis Collins, & good ol' Richard Rawlings (plus many other Mopar nuts) would probably show up with their briefcases full of cash & their trucks & trailers, anyone with the $$$ & the means to bring at least some of these sick ass rides back to life, like the '68 Coronet R/T hemi convertible (!), the orange '71 hemicuda 4 speed basket case (Mark), the other random hemicudas & Challengers, the 440 six barrel cudas & Challengers (anything with a 440-6), the triple black '71 cuda 340 4 speed convertible (I heard somewhere that Plymouth built only 4 of those?), the purple '70 Challenger R/T 440 six pack convertible (actually ANY E body convertible), the A12 RR, the numerous hemi RRs & hemi Superbees, the T/As & AARs... the list goes on & on!!! WOW what an amazing collection! Many came really close to being crushed & therefore GONE FOREVER, but the fact they still exist & can still be restored someday... Sometimes we gotta wait a few more years but SOMEDAY all those cars & parts WILL become available to those of us lucky enough to have the cash & be at the right place at the right time... That is if gas is still affordable... Let's Go Brandon!
Get warmed up to old Nancy P get a little insider trading and get them all done at one time drive all them BMFErs in front of the WH and let’s go Brandon
Impossible to restore most of them that's why they got parted out this old guy has a plan to make cash not spend it 🤣it costs just as much to build up and restore these classics the return isnt worth the years it takes to get the job done 😃yeh I'm pissed off for the old guy being asked so this is just sitting here ohhh this is worth half a mill 🤣I can't believe this RUclipsr was allowed to record there is alot of valuesble stuff laying around even forgotten bout on this property loose lips sink ships and this RUclipsr seems to be a fkn snitch
If you told people about this collection they probably wouldn't believe you. Thank God you did this video. I'm a retired mechanic and have had a love of mopars since high school. I've had a couple GTX's and a 69 Charger back in my younger years. It is great he saved these cars but also sad they are rusting away when someone could get enjoyment out of restoring them. I couldn't afford even one of those cars now, but if I had even one I would lovingly restore it.
i expected to see a dude with a shotgun an ugly ass pit bulls anytime,or the guy to run him off, he asked too much,maybe the guy was just calm,or had a good supply of xanax...there would be rich ass collecters there everyday if i had the place etc..............
i have a 73. 340. r/t chall.. here in aus.. i saw a vid of a dad & son, restore a 69 mustang f/back. in 12 months.. it was a rusted heap.. SO WHATS THIS GUYS PROBLEM.. im 65..
I Loved this Video. BUT... seeing ALL... ALL of these great muscle cars just sitting and waiting.. and waiting.. pulls at my heart strings.. I'm glad to hear some are for sale. Please buy and restore them..
He's calling the guy crazy for the way it's all just rusting away but he himself identifies several cars that he owns that... are just sitting there out in the elements...lol isn't that pot calling the kettle black.
@@jimgiordano3613 you obviously never loved an old car. I just paid 200 dollars for a steering wheel from a place like this because you can't just go on rock auto. Unrestored running 64 -78 American cars are way up in value. I'm restoring a 64 cuda but I drive a newer dodge SUV
If I was Rich, and watched this video, and the way you Badgered his employee, who was more than courtesy enough to show you around, probably without the owners permission, I would have personally escorted your belligerent ass off of the property. #1, it isn't any of your damn business why the vehicles are sitting in the state they presently are. #2, You don't have a nickel in anything on this property. #3, You are a guest here, and should conduct yourself as such. It is individuals such as yourself, that prevents other collectors from having access to inventories such as this. Thank you for nothing.
Thank you Rich for saving all these Mopars from the crusher, they deserve to live on in the dreams and desires of new owners and even original owners that meet up once again with their rides...
What a video, so happy to see so many saved. I have loved my Mopar's since I bought my first at 18 for $1500.00 it was a 71 Barracuda Grand coupe. It had a 318 in it, I had been building race cars for many years before I could even drive. I dropped a 383 Mag in her with a 355 rear and she already had the 727 torque flight. I put a set of upsweeps and made a misting system as we all know how well they run on a rainy day she was unbeatable. I see there is so many lovers out there like myself that we should all come together and do what's right to all of these sweet cars. I say we put a building up and pull 1 car at a time and build them back to the beauties they are. I say we put the owners in charge as they know where all the parts are and which one's to start with. Let's bring these babies back to life and give some lucky people a chance in owning some history.
Great collection of cars. Hard to watch because of how rude you are. It's hard to see those cars not being rebuilt for sure. But if I was Mr. Steve I wouldn't have tolerated you for more than a few minutes.
I just can't wrap my mind around all of this. This is the holy grail of MOPAR OEM. Sweet lawd. I am flabbergasted that he would open the gates to video this stuff.
All you could day is wow wow wow!!,, , That is got to be the most outstanding Mopar collection I've ever seen or heard of.And all the hemis and six pac cars.Im into the 1969 he is roadrunner,id walk a mile bare footed in broken glass for .Thanks for taking your time to showing us?.
What a waste of the biggest mopar collection sitting there and collecting dust. I have worked 6-7 days a week to support my family and would have loved to been able to have just one mopar to enjoy in my life before dying. It most likely will never happen having a dream car like that but it sure was nice to see someone passionate enough to save each and every car. He may not restore them all but for the most part he saved them all. Great video and collection!
@@Hauntworld Hello Larry. How does one get in touch with the owner? I can't find any shop name on your video or in the comments. Can you please provide contact info? Thank you.
@@TUBACRUZ i information he so "easily" quotes has been available for decades through Galen Goviors little white book they decode everything he is very knowledgeable but he is a jonnie come lately glorified by a TV show anyone can order parts through a catalog and all his decoding information has been available for decades, he is just a high end resto shop that specializes in Mopar's nothing new, well it is to you i guess! check out on you tube "the worlds most insane car collection" this over the top mostly Mopar collection is less than 40 minutes from his shop and he didn't even know about it till about 2 months ago, television glorifies people for other entertainment, its cool what he does but he is far from the first or the most knowledgeable likeable guy for sure....just not all that
I can't say thanks enough to the owner for saving history. Once they are gone they are gone. There was one small local country garage. Sitting out in front of his place were any number of rare cars that look like they were saved from a junkyard. There was not a car there that was not rare. That dude knew what he was doing.
Most I ever saw. There is a guy near me that has a similar collection of rare Mopars , but only about a quarter this size. Three wing cars . One of my good friends is a retired builder and is almost done his last personal 68 RR, it is amazing how high and scarce parts have gotten. He just installed $1800 in rechromed bumpers. Back in the day this stuff was plentiful and cheap .
Classic line by Rich “I forgot we had that back there’ and he’s talking bout a purple RT challenger with a hemi. I don’t know if to laugh, cry, feel depressed, punch a wall,scratch my head, it’s just a boondoggle . Great vid
So this is explain in the description of the video. The owner SAVED these cars from a junk yard, he spent over 6 months removing them before they got crushed. Just like Graveyard cars all those cars waiting for restoration sit outside waiting for a restoration. My role in the video was to be the dumb person and let Steve explain everything. So when they mention SLOPE he's referring to a junk yard where the cars where saved!
@@Mr39036ce No he didn’t go to town to buy another car. If it wasn’t for guys like him none of these cars or parts would exist. If that had happen then what do you think prices would be in fact it is very possible the only time you would see a Hemi or Six-pack car would be in a private collection. Visionaries like this guy has helped our hobby. The days of cheap reasonable Musclecars ended in the late 80’s. In 1977 I bought a running driving 69 Hemi Roadrunner 4 Speed super track-pac car for $900. It had rusted quarters, it was 3 different colors and the guy drove it back and forth to work. It even had a trailer hitch on it. That car was a couple of months from being crushed. That’s what happened to a large numbers of those cars. That or the engine and transmission was pulled and sold to a racer then crushed. The days of paying $35,000 to $40,000 for a Hemi or Six-Pack B-body or E-body are gone for good.
Steve is very knowledgeable and has a lot of patience. It's a damn shame all these cars are out in the weather. The guy can make millions off of the parts he has collected.
If not for Rich. Most of these parts wouldve been long gone. Recycled or smashed, whatever very long ago. Due to clunker laws in many states. All i can say is WoW. Im impressed. AMD reproduces many of these pieces parts. But theyre only original once. Thanks so much for allowing us to lay our eyes upon what has to be the largest new old stock mopar graveyard in existence. Hopefully there will be a caretaker for them after Rich is gone. That has the very same passion for them. And not just someone that will scrap the metal for a few dollars. Thanks Again. My hair is still standing on end...
A LOT of comments about he should sell, he is letting them rust, on and on. I love the comments that he saved them from the crusher. These are HIS CARS, PARTS, ETC. He can do what he wants with them. Everyone is free to do what They want. He is a MOPAR GUY. That is enough in my book. GOD bless all.
Almost all of these cars would require really big money to restore, probably more than most are worth. Thanks for the video, love to look at them. After watching a lot of these videos, there are many more old cars in barns than can be imagined. They will all be in estate sales before too many more years.
you would have to sell a batch of them at 30 or 40 years ago prices etc,or give a few away..i know a guy with guitars and amps an all kinda valuable musical stuff, he will sell stuff on occasion, but were all gettin old,an he has money etc..as old blonde amps an things sit an get older an need work..he is so tight,an hoards so much,its pathetic...al in the video should be illegal,an the guy should be legally forced to sell so many by a certain time,he knows he is on a dang gold mine..friggin greedy hoarders......i have gave cars,an guitars away etc..it all will come back if your nice an give to people...
They are saving these cars whether they are rotting away or not . Keeping them from the crusher is the main job that they are doing . Steve said , pertaining to the orange hemi 'Cuda ; "All you are buying at this point is the 'title & tags'". Meaning : everything will need to be replaced by use of donor cars or repop parts . The end result may not have any original parts to it but legally it is a '70 orange hemi 'Cuda . Think of it like "The Ship of Theseus".
If this collection was sold all at once it would devalue colletable muscle mopars overnight.Supply and demand can do crazy things .30 years ago the outside cars would be called "shitboxes",and sent to the crusher.We used to drive complete cars to tip and get the bulldozer to tip them upside down to get the diffs and gearboxes out .Great video,thanks for posting.✌
Thanks for sharing this with the Mopar world. I am sad and frustrated that he is hoarding all these great and rare Mopars. No one person should have all these rare cars and especially if they will not sell the ones they can never get to. It’s a wonder cars and parts are so hard to find with people like this just letting them rot away. I would love to have the 66 Hemi Satellite. Even tho it made me mad, I couldn’t stop watching it. Again, thanks for sharing.
So this is explain in the description of the video. The owner SAVED these cars from a junk yard, he spent over 6 months removing them before they got crushed. Just like Graveyard cars all those cars waiting for restoration sit outside waiting for a restoration. My role in the video was to be the dumb person and let Steve explain everything.

@My Pronoun is WTF thanks for explaining it better than me ... if you have to ask why then you will never know. None of anybodys godamn business, I have been into Samurai's since the mid 90's some I keep some I sell/part out. Enjoyed seeing all the rare cars for sure
I just watched this video and loved it I have owned a few darts and barracuda’s mostly 1967-1969 I still have a 1967 dodge dart race car sitting in my garage for the last 20 years and I only saw one in the video
I would love to see them all back on the road again. In my opinion they should restore 4 or 5 of the cars and sell the rest of the stuff off. They have a lot of parts that people are searching for around the country.
What a great video! Unbelievable. I would be extremely interested in buying some of those cars starting with the two 71 charger R/T’s that were sitting outside if possible and then some. I’m a 65 year old mopar car guy. I always dreamt of owning some of those dream cars but life got in the way my brother and son passed away and now I’m I’ve been letting life pass me by. My wife a l are moving from California to Tennessee next month and l want to start a new life and get back to my dream and passion, building mopars before I get to old and live with should have and could have regrets. Please let me know how l can possibly get in touch with you or Richard. I love your collection of cars and one day I would love to own and build a real hemp car at least once in my lifetime. Much love to you brother! Hotrod Harry.
It's actually sad that all these cars and parts that so many enthusiasts search for years to find is all in one place and will never be restored or just sit on shelves and rot away.
Just have to live long enough for the auction. I have 25k Sqft of hard to find machines and parts, I sell a little here and there, restore some, collect more, etc. Without guys like this, none of that stuff would even still exist.
They aren't made of wood, they aren't rotting. I watched these getting shredded in the 80's and scrap yard guys laughing about it. When it comes to auction, open you checkbook big time.
The people making comments about how stupid the owner of this shop is and how all he knows how to do is cut cars up and not finish them. I’ve known the owner for over 35 years he has restored a 68 GTX and we are restoring my 1970 Challenger R/T SE 440 Six-Pack 4 Speed Shaker Car, high optioned six-way, rim blow, stereo multiplex radio. The 35 years I’ve known him he has restored too many cars to count one being a Hemi Cuda that won Mopar Nationals with the highest score ever achieved. Those of you who blame him because you don’t have the parts for the cars you have or him owning cars you think he should sell because he will never restore them grow up. He has been buying this stuff for close to forty years. He bought a number of these parts and cars because they were so bad or missing so many parts most people were not interested because they didn’t have the skills to restore them. He was a visionary he loved these cars and knew they would always have great value so he searched and bought any Hemi, Six-pack, rare or unusual Mopar no matter their condition. He then went after the parts needed to complete the cars he bought. Now it’s his fault people don’t have what they need and most want him to give them a deal on the parts. He knows what he has and trust me if he sells anything parts are cars none of it will be cheap it will be for the present value. The Sublime Superbird that Larry owns and went out of his way to say it has all original sheet metal so he can jack up the price since he is wanting to sell it. Of course he failed to mention that the reason it is so perfect and beautiful now is because of the hard work and knowledge of the man who owns this facility. Same with his sub-lime AAR Cuda sitting in the shop. In fact Larry has had at least 3 other cars completed but this shop. If you can’t tell by my comments the owner and Steve Been are like brothers to me. Unless your in this business you have no idea the cost to restore one of these cars plus the cost of the investment in equipment needed to do it correctly. As Steve said in the video to restore a car to a high quality driver level will take approximately six to eight months that’s over a 1000 hours and for a Mopar National level restoration can take 2 years.
I saw at least 2 1964 Dodge Polaras. One of my favorite Mopars. Back in the late '60s I had a '64 Dodge 440. I found a good set of taillights in a junkyard Polara, cut the needed 3rd hole on each side and at least from the back it looked like a '64 Polara. Seeing the 2 in this video really made me nostalgic. Thanks for the memories. Kent, New Hampshire.
@@glennhall8795 I sure he would consider as you say lighten the load on himself. But people cannot expect him to give it away or even give them deals. People what or need something I sure if he doesn’t need it for one of the cars it could be purchased but at its present value. I am sure the cars would be the same way.
I respect this guy for saving all of these parts from the crusher love it hate it they exist that's my opinion. If this connection was released to they public it would literally reset the market. I'm a Ford guy so all I wanna know is is that 4 door camper special Ford truck for sale sitting in along the trees??
I’m in awe. I understand the wanting of these amazing cars. Wishing wishing I had the time and opportunity to stroll through and just feel in the amount of amazing cars. I so want one of those cars oh my gawd. What. A amazing find
Man I wish I would have known this spot when I was back in Missouri visiting my family 2 years ago. He really needs to sell off these cars. Never going to get them done, then they will end up in an estate sale one day . Sell and enjoy your money while you can. This is crazy .
This is amazing that would be awesome if they would restore as many as they could and sell the rest to the people who would definitely restore them thanks for the video.
That is a yard that would make alot of dreams come true for sure . Love that Bahama yellow A12 runner . I am currently building a 1969 gtx . I'm looking for rear bumperguards . I may buy a full set if I have to . Would be great if there was a set there for sale . Great job on the video .
Wow, it's sort of a bummer letting all those cars go to waste. One or two guys won't even get through 2% of all that iron. He should be selling all that stuff in hopes that they are restored and put to good use rather than just rotting away .... and then go buy a $6 billion dollar home somewhere. This video reminds me of Hoarders ... but in an automotive sense.
That collection is unreal,I agree with other's that it is so sad to see all these cars wasting away,just saying that it would drive me more insane that I am now not restoring any of them.
This is the coolest video I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing it all! I would venture to say if it could be inventoried down to every nut and bolt it would be worth $100,000,000 easy including the other group of cars!
Somebody needs to tell Mark at Graveyard Cars about this! These cars are being wasted like this. Its a shame. get to work restoring them or sell them. I absolutely hate seeing people hoard these cars to let them rot.
Im sure he knows him, Mark did mention that he had to run over and meet with the guy who built " the most factory correct 4 door 'Cuda, if they ever made a 4 door". He gushed about the exhaust and how perfect it would have been if it was made for a 4 door. I bet he knows him, after that SEMA experience is when he had the idea for his vintage MOPAR car lot as well.
Wow!! Very nice collection of Mopars, thanks for letting us all in on Larry's tour.. actually Steve's tour since he did start it lol ..there is alot of close mouth answers to questions.. sorta' like "well I can't say much 'cause it's all a secret really" that's the air around the whole video with the questions...great video though! ...so if people can't complete their projects that they bring in due to a $$ hardship or other family matter, maybe health who knows and the car sits and sits..now it's Rich's car because of the contract for restoration and wording within, ...well whatever works for eachother I'm sure it's not (all) like that really, Hahaha and I'm sure ole' Mark Worman has come a'calling😆 by now...he'd be in his glory!! Hahaha
This is downright depressing, seeing SO many rare Mopar muscle era cars, just rotting away to the point of no longer being restored. They are just simply parts cars. That is so sad, almost criminal!
It absolutely kills me see all these things sitting out in the elements rusting away. Way too many there to ever get restored so I don't know why the guy doesn't sell the stuff to somebody who will get it back together.
Oh it so does me too!!😓 .. don't know if he's capitalizing or monopolizing lol ..on the future profit of all his stock, or maybe the one that wants to have everything you need for restorations..the only one lol ..in a good way and that's the best way!👍👍
My best friend had 1969 green Super Bee that had a 383 4 speed with the side louveres. I haven't seen minnie Bees with those. If I ever hit a lottery I'd buy him another one. He blew the motor up and dropped a 440 in it and never got it running right. Thanks for showing us the collection. Wish I had the money to buy one to redo
I’ve had my share of Mopars in the seventies and I think the hobby is ruined today by guys with too much money and in this case too many parts, often neglected. It’s his stuff, let him do what he wants with it besides only those with deep pockets will end up this stuff. My son just bought a Scat Pack 392 Shaker, 6 speed, orange wide body Challenger which out performs all these cars for a fraction of the price. Most of these guys are my age and older, I wonder if the new tech generation will want any of this stuff?
I agree with the too much money part...like, how do they afford the property and the huge house and the Huge barns and sheds, and then afford the time and money to go and buy this stuff. Like, are they all Jay Leno's? Did they inherit all the property and money? I'd love to know the backgroud of these chaps. Even Dulcich has a huge collection, on a huge farm, that is from his family. Wow what a life these people have...half their luck.
@@kramrollin69 if you were paying attention he mentions Ron Slobe multiple times. Slobe had the largest Mopar only salvage in the USA in Aurora Missouri. He had one helluva personal collection. Bunch these cars in the video were saved from the salvage yard after Ron passed away and his widow closed the business.
That's enough to drive a motor head insane!!!! This guy is a super millionaire and he's letting Everything rot!!! It's unbelievable!!! Treating these classic cars like that is a crime!!!!
My dad spent 2 yeas in Vietnam as an officer in the Marine Corp. He lived day to by thinking about Mopars and drag racing. When he got home he ordered a 71 Hemi Cuda, a car we still own. He taught me that Mopars have souls, above all other cars Mopars were special. He taught me that to love Mopars it takes courage because it’s easy to be a Chevy or Ford man but be a Mopar man takes courage. He told me you will win at the drag strip and the stop light but you will need to be a thinking man and have guts. We have 5 Mopars in the family from a Hemi Cuda to a 440 six pack Road Runner. Mopar or no car.
i have much respect for that sir who open his property and show us that amazing lot of parts and many rare mopars.thank you sir!
Some people make fun of people who keep this stuff but honestly you gotta be very thankful that this man was able to preserve a bunch of history this is amazing
Not really preserving if dying slowly covered in rust!
@@dennislang4375 I agree. If you aren't going to restore them - sell them. Don't hold onto them. Realistic, keep a few cars for yourself to restore and sell the rest to buy what you need to restore the others.
It's ridiculous to let these cars sit in the rain, weeds and moisture and rust themselves to death when they could be in someone else's garage getting restored.
It makes much more sense to have 3-4 restored cars that run and drive rather than an entire field and garage full of rustbuckets.
Anyone else would do something with them
@@dennislang4375 It IS preserving them other wise they would have went to the Crusher 20 Plus years ago. SImple minded aren't ya
As others have said, you don't realize that 95% of this stuff will go NOWHERE... its fun to collect all this vintage stuff, but you're also making it insanely harder for those of us who love this hobby to enjoy it as well. Mortality is a REAL thing, folks. When this guy dies, all he's taking with him is his rotted corpse and not the rotting metal in his yard.
Ever effort to save every car , part and the nostalgia of Mopar Muscle cars is the real value to all us Mopar fans , they don't have to be super special,they are all special
Take a shot every-time he asked “why its sitting there” like dude 🫤
I've never seen so many cool Mopars sitting in one place! I'm stunned.
UNBELIEVABLE! Would love to see these all MOPARs back on the road!
Me too!
And I hate Mopar!
Nice stash🔥
They're working on getting some on the road and I'd say he'd sell some of the ones he's not going to restore. Some guys wait too late and either die before getting to them or they sat out too long..but it seems to me the guy knows what are the big money cars. Yes it would be better if they were inside. But like the guy said the damage was done to most of them when they came there. He's actually doing a great thing otherwise they would be mashed into a cube by now
@@gregratcliff9831 that would be great 👍🏾!
No wonder they are rare cars.. they got most of them.. what a collection! 👍👍
I've been a diehard Mopar guy all my life, have owned several over the years. All I can say about this place......actually I don't know what to say, I'm speechless. It's overwhelmingly amazing. Thanks for sharing this, I'd love to see it in person but I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to leave! Lol. Truly amazing.
My father owned a thrill show when I was born and I was born in Richmond VA because I wanted out and they were on the way to the NY state Fair!
My dad got the contract for Dodge car's for the thrill show because my grandmother played bridge with one of the Dodge wives
Check out the RUclips videos of the joi chitwood thrill show they used Chevy's but the shows were similar
Mind boggling, especially that it's Mopars, muscle cars, rare cars....
I wish I still had my
70 Cuda convertible
383, 4 spd Hurst PG,
Top Banana, black top, black interior....
@@luvtoview1 I will try not to watch any of your videos because you are very rude and disrespectful with your remarks about why any of the cars are there
@@phillipcarpenter2668 Hmmm.... u must be replying to the wrong person?? I luv Mopars... had so many great ones, before I got heavily into Jeeps. My biggest beefs with Mopar are when they nearly ruined the Jeep 4.0 with cheap weak pistions in the late 90s... and then developed the AMC designed 4.7 with weak oiling/cooling system that makes it a fragile engine
@@phillipcarpenter2668 Lee Iococca was genuis in not only aquiring AMC, but also insisting that the AMC 'desgn and engineering dept was part of the deal. He recognized that those guys could do magic under duress when they had ore capital to work with. I had a long conversation with one of that team years ago at his home. Iacocca knew he needed those guys to make Chrysler stronger.
Absolutely Incredible! Thing is though, nobody lives forever and this owner Must Sell as much as he can and have a Will in place that can ensure a positive future for the property and everything that he owns on it. EVERYTHING! You can’t take it with you! ! !
This collection is absolutely incredible.
JUST FYI... there is going to be TWO MORE videos coming. First video will be of another Mopar graveyard with even more cars than this video. The second video we will return to find out exactly what cars are for sale. Stay tuned.
Thank You Sir.
If you have seen the four door ‘70 Barracuda, you know Steve is an extremely talented builder. If you watched this video to the end, you know Steve has the patience of a saint.
Who would want a "four door" Cuda ?
He must have I would have kicked him out after the first comment.
@@josephcolosimo1943 His perfect sheet metal cali cars went to the back of the queue;) Might be out in the rain.
How can i get in contact with him? Very interested..thanks
I just that car sell at Mecums Kissimmee 1 /13/23
I’m blown away with this collection of parts .. the value must be immense!
That was an amazing thing to watch. Thank you Larry for sharing, and for Rich and Steve for allowing us to get a glimpse into this incredible collection and for saving so many special cars from the crusher. It was like having a private tour of some famous museum for super rare Mopars (don’t care that they are ratty, they are still amazing). Steve’s ability to remember the specific details of each car is also very impressive. I own a 1969 A12 Super Bee that I saw as a teenager and fell in love with. I worked crazy hard that summer (’87) and was able to buy it from a local dealer. My first car ever was a ’69 Coronet 500 Convertible. I was hearbroken when I sold it to go to school. I would absolutely love to be able to restore any of these cars to their former glory. Specifically interested in the '68 Coronet R/T hemi convertible, the 440x6 Purple or Rootbeer Cudas (Hardtop), the Vitamin C Hemi Cuda 4spd, the ’70 triple black Hemi Charger, 440 (4spd) Purple Challenger Convertible and the ’69 Hemi RR. I know the purple '70 Challenger R/T 440 six pack convertible and the Cude are a friends, but if he’d every be interested in selling I would love to talk. Please PM me if any are available. Thanks again.
My first order, I ordered a silver super Bee from North Star Dodge in N. San Antonio. black vinyl top, black vinyl interior with buckets and Auto on the floor console. 383 magnum engine!
Thanks to you two for your time . THANKS Steve👍
so many awesome cars and parts , glad he saved a bunch from being crushed
Yeah Graveyard Carz needs to visit this place. Being a lifelong MOPAR guy, it breaks my heart seeing these go to waste.
There preserved n safe
that is true, they are there in one place safe, ...Hahaha ole' Mark could you just imagine... he'd have a stroke,
I am glad to see the collection of Mopars. I wondered where all MOPARS went. I know now. I could sense your exasperation at some many great cars that will probably never get finished because of time. Regardless, I am glad the owner was kind enough to let us see all his cars. Some of the joy of owning cars is sharing.
Looks like a lot of projects got started, perhaps years ago, and then were just left to sit. Yeah, it's a gold mine! But it's all his gold mine and he can do whatever he wants with it all. 👍
Yeah, the guy could be accused of hoarding these super rare & super valuable Mopar muscle cars, but give him credit for SAVING many of them from the crusher. The fact that these cars STILL EXIST & so many can still (eventually) be restored is just amazing, the hemis, 440 six-packs, & 440 4bbls... He's got enough parts cars & extra sheet metal to rebuild most of the cars, plus all the mechanical parts he has, he's got like what, 5 or 6 complete 426 hemi engines? A whole bunch of A833s in both 23 & 18 spline versions? He's probably got a bunch of Dana rear axles for both B & E bodies as well... He could sell enough of his "lesser" cars to raise the cash to restore the cream of the crop... Mark Worman, Dennis Collins, & good ol' Richard Rawlings (plus many other Mopar nuts) would probably show up with their briefcases full of cash & their trucks & trailers, anyone with the $$$ & the means to bring at least some of these sick ass rides back to life, like the '68 Coronet R/T hemi convertible (!), the orange '71 hemicuda 4 speed basket case (Mark), the other random hemicudas & Challengers, the 440 six barrel cudas & Challengers (anything with a 440-6), the triple black '71 cuda 340 4 speed convertible (I heard somewhere that Plymouth built only 4 of those?), the purple '70 Challenger R/T 440 six pack convertible (actually ANY E body convertible), the A12 RR, the numerous hemi RRs & hemi Superbees, the T/As & AARs... the list goes on & on!!! WOW what an amazing collection! Many came really close to being crushed & therefore GONE FOREVER, but the fact they still exist & can still be restored someday... Sometimes we gotta wait a few more years but SOMEDAY all those cars & parts WILL become available to those of us lucky enough to have the cash & be at the right place at the right time... That is if gas is still affordable... Let's Go Brandon!
RB - ‘agree with all you say; some I didn’t know - except yr last…
That is if gas is still…. AVAILABLE!!!

@@1959nickd 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Impossible to restore most of them that's why they got parted out this old guy has a plan to make cash not spend it 🤣it costs just as much to build up and restore these classics the return isnt worth the years it takes to get the job done 😃yeh I'm pissed off for the old guy being asked so this is just sitting here ohhh this is worth half a mill 🤣I can't believe this RUclipsr was allowed to record there is alot of valuesble stuff laying around even forgotten bout on this property loose lips sink ships and this RUclipsr seems to be a fkn snitch
If you told people about this collection they probably wouldn't believe you. Thank God you did this video. I'm a retired mechanic and have had a love of mopars since high school. I've had a couple GTX's and a 69 Charger back in my younger years. It is great he saved these cars but also sad they are rusting away when someone could get enjoyment out of restoring them. I couldn't afford even one of those cars now, but if I had even one I would lovingly restore it.
i expected to see a dude with a shotgun an ugly ass pit bulls anytime,or the guy to run him off, he asked too much,maybe the guy was just calm,or had a good supply of xanax...there would be rich ass collecters there everyday if i had the place etc..............
i'm in need of a 426 hemi will he sell me one?
i have a 73. 340. r/t chall.. here in aus.. i saw a vid of a dad & son, restore a 69 mustang f/back. in 12 months.. it was a rusted heap.. SO WHATS THIS GUYS PROBLEM.. im 65..
I Loved this Video. BUT... seeing ALL... ALL of these great muscle cars just sitting and waiting.. and waiting.. pulls at my heart strings.. I'm glad to hear some are for sale. Please buy and restore them..
Great video but those questions of “ what is it?” And “What is it sitting here for?”are annoying He is preserving them!!
preserving them for the rust pile.what a waste .
@@jimgiordano3613 He SAVED them already so he is doing and did
the right thing
He's calling the guy crazy for the way it's all just rusting away but he himself identifies several cars that he owns that... are just sitting there out in the elements...lol isn't that pot calling the kettle black.
@@jimgiordano3613 you obviously never loved an old car. I just paid 200 dollars for a steering wheel from a place like this because you can't just go on rock auto. Unrestored running 64 -78 American cars are way up in value. I'm restoring a 64 cuda but I drive a newer dodge SUV
If I was Rich, and watched this video, and the way you Badgered his employee, who was more than courtesy enough to show you around, probably without the owners permission, I would have personally escorted your belligerent ass off of the property. #1, it isn't any of your damn business why the vehicles are sitting in the state they presently are. #2, You don't have a nickel in anything on this property. #3, You are a guest here, and should conduct yourself as such. It is individuals such as yourself, that prevents other collectors from having access to inventories such as this. Thank you for nothing.
WOW!!!! Most video's, a viewer skips through.... not this one, I watched the full video and I'm blown away!!!!
Thank you Rich for saving all these Mopars from the crusher, they deserve to live on in the dreams and desires of new owners and even original owners that meet up once again with their rides...
What a video, so happy to see so many saved. I have loved my Mopar's since I bought my first at 18 for $1500.00 it was a 71 Barracuda Grand coupe. It had a 318 in it, I had been building race cars for many years before I could even drive. I dropped a 383 Mag in her with a 355 rear and she already had the 727 torque flight. I put a set of upsweeps and made a misting system as we all know how well they run on a rainy day she was unbeatable. I see there is so many lovers out there like myself that we should all come together and do what's right to all of these sweet cars. I say we put a building up and pull 1 car at a time and build them back to the beauties they are. I say we put the owners in charge as they know where all the parts are and which one's to start with. Let's bring these babies back to life and give some lucky people a chance in owning some history.
Omg what a collection . My mind is blown. Unbelievable.
Awesome collection, these are the people that assure there will be Mopar's forever!!!!
Great collection of cars. Hard to watch because of how rude you are. It's hard to see those cars not being rebuilt for sure. But if I was Mr. Steve I wouldn't have tolerated you for more than a few minutes.
💯
Yes I agree. I know some people who would not have handled that so nicely
I was thinking the same thing
This is so hard to see and great to see at the same time.
I just can't wrap my mind around all of this. This is the holy grail of MOPAR OEM. Sweet lawd. I am flabbergasted that he would open the gates to video this stuff.
All you could day is wow wow wow!!,, , That is got to be the most outstanding Mopar collection I've ever seen or heard of.And all the hemis and six pac cars.Im into the 1969 he is roadrunner,id walk a mile bare footed in broken glass for .Thanks for taking your time to showing us?.
you are a huge mopar fan and you dont no the years
Great video Thanks Steve you are the Man
This is just insane , it’s sad to see all of these great cars just rotting away.
This has bought a tear to my eye .I'm a Aussie who loves mopar.what I'd give to own any of these cars
There safe n offroad
Not rotting.
I’m sure many folks know of them.
Better sitting than getting CRUSHED!!
Can he find me parts for my 69 Roadrunner?
THANK YOU! I no longer feel bad about how long it takes me to finish a project! 😄
What a waste of the biggest mopar collection sitting there and collecting dust. I have worked 6-7 days a week to support my family and would have loved to been able to have just one mopar to enjoy in my life before dying. It most likely will never happen having a dream car like that but it sure was nice to see someone passionate enough to save each and every car. He may not restore them all but for the most part he saved them all. Great video and collection!
Great video and thanks for sharing. I'll agree with Steve, 1968 Superbee is the best. Been looking for one forever.
They're all nice if you love mopar you'd take anyone of them. Thanks for watching. You should reach out to them they have about 10 to 12 Superbees

Best Mopar parts and cars collection ever.
I am such a huge Mopar fan and you did an incredible job on this video. I hope Mark Worman watches this.
why would you hope he watches this video?
@Douglas Adams, watch Graveyard Cars and you’ll know why.
Just a glorified car restorer nothing more
@@TUBACRUZ i information he so "easily" quotes has been available for decades through Galen Goviors little white book they decode everything he is very knowledgeable but he is a jonnie come lately glorified by a TV show anyone can order parts through a catalog and all his decoding information has been available for decades, he is just a high end resto shop that specializes in Mopar's nothing new, well it is to you i guess! check out on you tube "the worlds most insane car collection" this over the top mostly Mopar collection is less than 40 minutes from his shop and he didn't even know about it till about 2 months ago, television glorifies people for other entertainment, its cool what he does but he is far from the first or the most knowledgeable likeable guy for sure....just not all that
Evidentally you didn’t catch the name Slobe in the video. Ron Slobe saved more rare Mopars across the USA than Worman will ever touch.
I am blowed away thank you for showing us from Bedford county Virginia
I can't say thanks enough to the owner for saving history. Once they are gone they are gone. There was one small local country garage. Sitting out in front of his place were any number of rare cars that look like they were saved from a junkyard. There was not a car there that was not rare. That dude knew what he was doing.
brit here who is a fan of cuda's, this is the best barn find video ive seen must be at least 15 cudas there!
Most I ever saw. There is a guy near me that has a similar collection of rare Mopars , but only about a quarter this size. Three wing cars . One of my good friends is a retired builder and is almost done his last personal 68 RR, it is amazing how high and scarce parts have gotten. He just installed $1800 in rechromed bumpers. Back in the day this stuff was plentiful and cheap .
Classic line by Rich “I forgot we had that back there’ and he’s talking bout a purple RT challenger with a hemi. I don’t know if to laugh, cry, feel depressed, punch a wall,scratch my head, it’s just a boondoggle . Great vid
It's a shame 95% of these cars will never get built
So this is explain in the description of the video. The owner SAVED these cars from a junk yard, he spent over 6 months removing them before they got crushed. Just like Graveyard cars all those cars waiting for restoration sit outside waiting for a restoration. My role in the video was to be the dumb person and let Steve explain everything. So when they mention SLOPE he's referring to a junk yard where the cars where saved!
Lot of time and money to save these cars got to appreciate that or these time capsules could have been a Toyota Corolla
Probably 98%. These guys are why the prices for these cars is to the moon.The owner probably went to town to buy another car.Kinda sad.
@@Mr39036ce No he didn’t go to town to buy another car. If it wasn’t for guys like him none of these cars or parts would exist. If that had happen then what do you think prices would be in fact it is very possible the only time you would see a Hemi or Six-pack car would be in a private collection. Visionaries like this guy has helped our hobby. The days of cheap reasonable Musclecars ended in the late 80’s. In 1977 I bought a running driving 69 Hemi Roadrunner 4 Speed super track-pac car for $900. It had rusted quarters, it was 3 different colors and the guy drove it back and forth to work. It even had a trailer hitch on it. That car was a couple of months from being crushed. That’s what happened to a large numbers of those cars. That or the engine and transmission was pulled and sold to a racer then crushed. The days of paying $35,000 to $40,000 for a Hemi or Six-Pack B-body or E-body are gone for good.
@Old Injin I love the lime green Cuda is it original 😋
Triple Black 340 4 speed 71 Cuda Vert might just be the the coolest Mopar I can think of. What an absolute unit. 😮
Steve is very knowledgeable and has a lot of patience. It's a damn shame all these cars are out in the weather. The guy can make millions off of the parts he has collected.
Money’s isn’t everything.....

It's amazing to me how any one person can accumulate this much stuff. 👍👍
If not for Rich. Most of these parts wouldve been long gone. Recycled or smashed, whatever very long ago. Due to clunker laws in many states. All i can say is WoW. Im impressed. AMD reproduces many of these pieces parts. But theyre only original once. Thanks so much for allowing us to lay our eyes upon what has to be the largest new old stock mopar graveyard in existence. Hopefully there will be a caretaker for them after Rich is gone. That has the very same passion for them. And not just someone that will scrap the metal for a few dollars. Thanks Again. My hair is still standing on end...
A LOT of comments about he should sell, he is letting them rust, on and on. I love the comments that he saved them from the crusher. These are HIS CARS, PARTS, ETC. He can do what he wants with them. Everyone is free to do what They want. He is a MOPAR GUY. That is enough in my book. GOD bless all.
Almost all of these cars would require really big money to restore, probably more than most are worth. Thanks for the video, love to look at them. After watching a lot of these videos, there are many more old cars in barns than can be imagined. They will all be in estate sales before too many more years.
you would have to sell a batch of them at 30 or 40 years ago prices etc,or give a few away..i know a guy with guitars and amps an all kinda valuable musical stuff, he will sell stuff on occasion, but were all gettin old,an he has money etc..as old blonde amps an things sit an get older an need work..he is so tight,an hoards so much,its pathetic...al in the video should be illegal,an the guy should be legally forced to sell so many by a certain time,he knows he is on a dang gold mine..friggin greedy hoarders......i have gave cars,an guitars away etc..it all will come back if your nice an give to people...
That is an insane amount of Mopar treasure.
They are saving these cars whether they are rotting away or not . Keeping them from the crusher is the main job that they are doing .
Steve said , pertaining to the orange hemi 'Cuda ; "All you are buying at this point is the 'title & tags'". Meaning : everything will need to be replaced by use of donor cars or repop parts . The end result may not have any original parts to it but legally it is a '70 orange hemi 'Cuda .
Think of it like "The Ship of Theseus".
If this collection was sold all at once it would devalue colletable muscle mopars overnight.Supply and demand can do crazy things .30 years ago the outside cars would be called "shitboxes",and sent to the crusher.We used to drive complete cars to tip and get the bulldozer to tip them upside down to get the diffs and gearboxes out .Great video,thanks for posting.✌
Thanks for sharing this with the Mopar world. I am sad and frustrated that he is hoarding all these great and rare Mopars. No one person should have all these rare cars and especially if they will not sell the ones they can never get to. It’s a wonder cars and parts are so hard to find with people like this just letting them rot away. I would love to have the 66 Hemi Satellite. Even tho it made me mad, I couldn’t stop watching it. Again, thanks for sharing.
You could have bought them before him.....
😆 ok.

@My Pronoun is WTF thanks for explaining it better than me ... if you have to ask why then you will never know. None of anybodys godamn business, I have been into Samurai's since the mid 90's some I keep some I sell/part out. Enjoyed seeing all the rare cars for sure
@My Pronoun is WTF make a video of them
I just watched this video and loved it I have owned a few darts and barracuda’s mostly 1967-1969 I still have a 1967 dodge dart race car sitting in my garage for the last 20 years and I only saw one in the video
I would love to see them all back on the road again. In my opinion they should restore 4 or 5 of the cars and sell the rest of the stuff off. They have a lot of parts that people are searching for around the country.
He sells parts. They aren't searching hard enough.
thanks for sharing the rarest of mopars
There are horders and there are builders. The horders dream of restoring these cars and the builders dream of finding these cars.

Much love to you brother!

I had a 68 Dodge Charger RT 440 with factory air had about 10 miles on it when i pick it up from the dealer, wish i still had it
It's actually sad that all these cars and parts that so many enthusiasts search for years to find is all in one place and will never be restored or just sit on shelves and rot away.
Just have to live long enough for the auction. I have 25k Sqft of hard to find machines and parts, I sell a little here and there, restore some, collect more, etc. Without guys like this, none of that stuff would even still exist.
They aren't made of wood, they aren't rotting. I watched these getting shredded in the 80's and scrap yard guys laughing about it. When it comes to auction, open you checkbook big time.
Exactly.....What a shame
Yes to your question, I definitely agree the largest collection of Mopars anywhere, you must just be in your heyday walking around eh so coooool
The people making comments about how stupid the owner of this shop is and how all he knows how to do is cut cars up and not finish them. I’ve known the owner for over 35 years he has restored a 68 GTX and we are restoring my 1970 Challenger R/T SE 440 Six-Pack 4 Speed Shaker Car, high optioned six-way, rim blow, stereo multiplex radio. The 35 years I’ve known him he has restored too many cars to count one being a Hemi Cuda that won Mopar Nationals with the highest score ever achieved. Those of you who blame him because you don’t have the parts for the cars you have or him owning cars you think he should sell because he will never restore them grow up. He has been buying this stuff for close to forty years. He bought a number of these parts and cars because they were so bad or missing so many parts most people were not interested because they didn’t have the skills to restore them. He was a visionary he loved these cars and knew they would always have great value so he searched and bought any Hemi, Six-pack, rare or unusual Mopar no matter their condition. He then went after the parts needed to complete the cars he bought. Now it’s his fault people don’t have what they need and most want him to give them a deal on the parts. He knows what he has and trust me if he sells anything parts are cars none of it will be cheap it will be for the present value. The Sublime Superbird that Larry owns and went out of his way to say it has all original sheet metal so he can jack up the price since he is wanting to sell it. Of course he failed to mention that the reason it is so perfect and beautiful now is because of the hard work and knowledge of the man who owns this facility. Same with his sub-lime AAR Cuda sitting in the shop. In fact Larry has had at least 3 other cars completed but this shop. If you can’t tell by my comments the owner and Steve Been are like brothers to me. Unless your in this business you have no idea the cost to restore one of these cars plus the cost of the investment in equipment needed to do it correctly. As Steve said in the video to restore a car to a high quality driver level will take approximately six to eight months that’s over a 1000 hours and for a Mopar National level restoration can take 2 years.
I saw at least 2 1964 Dodge Polaras. One of my favorite Mopars. Back in the late '60s I had a '64 Dodge 440. I found a good set of taillights in a junkyard Polara, cut the needed 3rd hole on each side and at least from the back it looked like a '64 Polara. Seeing the 2 in this video really made me nostalgic. Thanks for the memories. Kent, New Hampshire.
Thanks for info...cool people still exist !
Amen!!
That's alot off cars wasting away at his age he will never rebuild those cars and need to lighten up the load on him
@@glennhall8795 I sure he would consider as you say lighten the load on himself. But people cannot expect him to give it away or even give them deals. People what or need something I sure if he doesn’t need it for one of the cars it could be purchased but at its present value. I am sure the cars would be the same way.
AMAZING!!!! THESE GUYS KNOW SOME MOPARS!!!
I respect this guy for saving all of these parts from the crusher love it hate it they exist that's my opinion. If this connection was released to they public it would literally reset the market. I'm a Ford guy so all I wanna know is is that 4 door camper special Ford truck for sale sitting in along the trees??
I’m in awe. I understand the wanting of these amazing cars. Wishing wishing I had the time and opportunity to stroll through and just feel in the amount of amazing cars. I so want one of those cars oh my gawd. What. A amazing find
Man I wish I would have known this spot when I was back in Missouri visiting my family 2 years ago. He really needs to sell off these cars. Never going to get them done, then they will end up in an estate sale one day . Sell and enjoy your money while you can. This is crazy .
Totally agree
Clearly the owner enjoys the cars more the money..... They’re his cars, not yours!
@@brendannunya77 hoarding and collecting are 2 different things. When a cars been sitting more then 25 years your never going to restore it.
@My Pronoun is WTF that's one car not 50 lol. I get it takes time and money , been there done that .
Many of those cars don't belong to the owner of the property. They were brought there to be worked on.
This is amazing that would be awesome if they would restore as many as they could and sell the rest to the people who would definitely restore them thanks for the video.
That is a yard that would make alot of dreams come true for sure . Love that Bahama yellow A12 runner . I am currently building a 1969 gtx . I'm looking for rear bumperguards . I may buy a full set if I have to . Would be great if there was a set there for sale . Great job on the video .
I want a piece of history. I'm 56, had quite a few rusty ones in the early to mid 80's. I miss those days.
Wow, it's sort of a bummer letting all those cars go to waste. One or two guys won't even get through 2% of all that iron. He should be selling all that stuff in hopes that they are restored and put to good use rather than just rotting away .... and then go buy a $6 billion dollar home somewhere. This video reminds me of Hoarders ... but in an automotive sense.
He could trade the Graveyard Mopar guy for a few restored cars that he can actually enjoy.
i wont watch that crap,i get too mad, hoarding is a sickness from hell and is pure,...greed....
My dad had a 70 RT 440 Auto, it FT6 dark tan I think. I helped him put headers on it. I’d love to find one like that .
That collection is unreal,I agree with other's that it is so sad to see all these cars wasting away,just saying that it would drive me more insane that I am now not restoring any of them.
Great video on the mopars, you spoke about some of the cars may be for sale. How do you make contact with the owner?
Thank you
This is the coolest video I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing it all! I would venture to say if it could be inventoried down to every nut and bolt it would be worth $100,000,000 easy including the other group of cars!
Calm down, you ask the guy a question and you interrupt him before he finishes answering your question, hard to listen to.
I loved your movies.🙂
I know the man that built the car Bits and Pieces? I love the 4 door Cuda excellent work!
Thanks!
Somebody needs to tell Mark at Graveyard Cars about this! These cars are being wasted like this. Its a shame. get to work restoring them or sell them. I absolutely hate seeing people hoard these cars to let them rot.
Agreed but the cost to haul them would be crazy ...let alone the purchase ( if he'd be willing to sell)
Im sure he knows him, Mark did mention that he had to run over and meet with the guy who built " the most factory correct 4 door 'Cuda, if they ever made a 4 door". He gushed about the exhaust and how perfect it would have been if it was made for a 4 door. I bet he knows him, after that SEMA experience is when he had the idea for his vintage MOPAR car lot as well.
MW would be one of the last people I would call. Just because he has a TV show doesn't qualify him as an expert.
Buy one.
Or you’re just yap’in.
Wow!! Very nice collection of Mopars, thanks for letting us all in on Larry's tour.. actually Steve's tour since he did start it lol ..there is alot of close mouth answers to questions.. sorta' like "well I can't say much 'cause it's all a secret really" that's the air around the whole video with the questions...great video though! ...so if people can't complete their projects that they bring in due to a $$ hardship or other family matter, maybe health who knows and the car sits and sits..now it's Rich's car because of the contract for restoration and wording within, ...well whatever works for eachother I'm sure it's not (all) like that really,
Hahaha and I'm sure ole' Mark Worman has come a'calling😆 by now...he'd be in his glory!! Hahaha
These guys need 10 more lifetimes to finish these builds, let them go to people who have the time, money and inclination.
"I'm a big Mopar nut".... Then misidentifies the first two cars... and doesn't know what other cars are???
Right?? 😆 Lol!! I noticed that too!
Only in the US! Nice to see all this for a Swede :D Thanks a lot!!
I don't want to insult you but...but I am going too......
That was awesome! I’d love to walk around there.
This is downright depressing, seeing SO many rare Mopar muscle era cars, just rotting away to the point of no longer being restored. They are just simply parts cars. That is so sad, almost criminal!
Could've been a *lot* worse...
...could've *all* been sent to the shredder...
@@mybigfartsreallystin all at once or slowly, it's just the same and such a shame
@@GrantOakes Nope...
...looks like *some* are getting new life...which is better than *none* ... XD
It'll be there 10 years from Now & Beyond !!!
It absolutely kills me see all these things sitting out in the elements rusting away. Way too many there to ever get restored so I don't know why the guy doesn't sell the stuff to somebody who will get it back together.
Died and went to heaven ,
Oh it so does me too!!😓
.. don't know if he's capitalizing or monopolizing lol ..on the future profit of all his stock, or maybe the one that wants to have everything you need for restorations..the only one lol ..in a good way and that's the best way!👍👍
My best friend had 1969 green Super Bee that had a 383 4 speed with the side louveres. I haven't seen minnie Bees with those. If I ever hit a lottery I'd buy him another one. He blew the motor up and dropped a 440 in it and never got it running right. Thanks for showing us the collection. Wish I had the money to buy one to redo
I’ve had my share of Mopars in the seventies and I think the hobby is ruined today by guys with too much money and in this case too many parts, often neglected. It’s his stuff, let him do what he wants with it besides only those with deep pockets will end up this stuff. My son just bought a Scat Pack 392 Shaker, 6 speed, orange wide body Challenger which out performs all these cars for a fraction of the price. Most of these guys are my age and older, I wonder if the new tech generation will want any of this stuff?
It's good to see collection's like this still exist.
I agree with the too much money part...like, how do they afford the property and the huge house and the Huge barns and sheds, and then afford the time and money to go and buy this stuff. Like, are they all Jay Leno's? Did they inherit all the property and money? I'd love to know the backgroud of these chaps. Even Dulcich has a huge collection, on a huge farm, that is from his family. Wow what a life these people have...half their luck.
@@kramrollin69 if you were paying attention he mentions Ron Slobe multiple times. Slobe had the largest Mopar only salvage in the USA in Aurora Missouri. He had one helluva personal collection. Bunch these cars in the video were saved from the salvage yard after Ron passed away and his widow closed the business.
@@h.r.puffnstuff8705 If you were paying attention, I had already mentioned all that. But thanks for your interest, try harder next time.😆
@@kramrollin69 sorry I didn’t realize you spelled the name Slobe; L-E-N-O or D-U-L-C-I-C-H. I’ll try harder next time ye posh pilock.
Just wow good for you getting to walk around that place......
That's enough to drive a motor head insane!!!!
This guy is a super millionaire and he's letting Everything rot!!!
It's unbelievable!!!
Treating these classic cars like that is a crime!!!!
