Independent Observations - July Car Spotting

[Robert Hall]

Speaking of obsolete and obscure Mopars, I saw a Dodge 400 coupe in an office parking garage this morning...silver. Haven't seen one of these in forever..

Bunch of derelict '60s-70s cars in the local boneyard. Some of these are really just 'decoration', as they are so stripped they're not worth keeping. I took & sold the interior of the '62 GP years & years ago- it's a rusted, doorless hulk now. I still enjoy seeing them. Picked up a too-nice-to-leave-it '66 Bel Air script for $5.
Another junkyard had a '71 Skylark coupe, 350, decent, all-there shape except some rot in all 4 quarters. Waiting on a call-back on that & the '68 Catalina coupe I mentioned above. Buick built just about the strongest of the GM 350s, without checking I'll assume it's short-stroke like their 455.

Was just zoning out the bus window on the trip into work this morning and buzzing by was a gray plymouth scamp. Was surprised to see any of these still running.

Still think the market would buy up someone building mini pickup trucks. A need for the city scene as well as casual use by the rural crowd.

I've seen 2 new Impys in traffic this week--one dark blue, one dark red w/ dark titanium wheels.

Those Scamp pickups were zippy with the Mopar 2.2L four...

Umm, it's August now. There is a new thread for August.
