wow! fill the Suburbans with gas and shovels, I'll be ready to go...

they are still out there...believe me !!!! ;    

No urban legend as I saw both with my own eyes - 66 Hemi Satellite convertible, console/auto, 42,000 survivor sitting along side a 64 Fury Hemi 4spd, red, probably hasn't seen the light of day since 70/71! Some sort of Pontiac factory race car sat behind them.
 
A friend has a LOH Runner that too hasn't been out since the late 70's. 40 some original miles.
 
Back in 88 looked at a 1473 mile 68 Hemi 4spd Runner that was raced by the Plymouth dealer in Canfield, OH. Last I heard was it was lost in a warehouse fire. Offered 12,500 / he wanted 13,000
 
Supposed to be a LOH Runner north of me sitting in a barn. Need to get out from behind the desk and check it out err... I mean visit some customers
 
Another LOH Runner sitting in a garage north of me that the owner took the hood off and put it in his bedroom so it doesn't get stolen. Is to be F3
 
I know where a dash for a LOH Bee is and I need to stop and get the vin. Car was wrecked long ago and the owner kept the dash.

drmopar.  nobody really cares about original paint black a12 cars...

Almost forgot about the CA F6 Bee owned by mopar4ya that is only a few miles from me. Yet to be found is a Root Beer colored Bee that was owned by a friend of my Dad's. Also a green one that sat with the orange one that Fezell now owns..........

I may....but i have learned from past experiences to not make detailed comments about cars that i don't own.
See ya at Carlisle!!!!!!  

the story is back in 1969, there was a train loaded with cars destined for delivery to all the local dealers near buffalo NY.  the train derailed, near attica NY.  how the story goes is that all the cars were declared a total loss.  to make the clean up easier, there was an agreement made with the farmer whose property was adjacent with the railroad.  they dug a hole with heavy equipment and pushed them in!
 
I've been keeping up on this story and the concenses of the rail road guys is that not only could this have happened... but likely did. Heres a quote......
 
"I don't believe that it would have been unusual for the railroad to bury the new autos on-site given the period in which this occurred and, to my knowledge, automakers' stringent requirement that vehicles involved in derailments be scrapped in their entirety without fail....no salvaging whatsoever....probably having to do with liability."

I heard of a 70 swinger that hadn't left the garage since 77.  B5 340 car.  So I'm driving my 71 barracuda home a few years ago (yeah, still have it), and guess what passes me getting tow strapped.  I couldn't find where it went but knew it was close to me now.  A buddy of mine is hanging drywall in a house and out of the corner of his eye spies the said dart in a sideways pointing garage.  He calls me and I describe the car.  the guy says "no way" this car has only left the garage once in 20 years and that was to come here.  I described the truck towing it and he said to come over and check it out.  I am friends with the guy now.  I used his car for the template for Gina's hood scoops.  The car is a B5 70 340 dart with black bucket seats/console and white stripe.  I may be doing some light resto work on it this summer.  His brother has a white/red amx (69 I think) survivor and his other brother has some sort of GS with less than 200 miles on it.  There is a 70 dodge I am stalking, but the car was well known back in the day, and I don't need any extra people on the paper trail till I land it.  I have a good vibe on it right now, so we will see what happens. I told dave watt about an almost free m-code bee that I missed out on this past summer.  Not to far from my home in a beat up garage.  The owner is asking me to hold the info to myself till he obtains an abandoned title for it.  v2/black bench interior and stripe.  Complete ex-street racer.  I'll post pics when he says it's cool.  Finally, a T5 hemi/auto 69 GTX and 70 mach1.  Husband and wife bought them new.  They used to live down the street from us and he used to tell me how it was the fastest car on the streets (I was a little kid and told my dad what he said).  The owner hasn't spoke to me since my dad spanked him in our 383 bee.  He was ranting and raving that it was a 440 six pack.  When my dad popped the hood, he thought he was lying do to the air grabber air cleaner.  I guess he wasn't aware that 383 cars got a similar air cleaner to his hemi.  Anyways that car is still right by my house even though we have both since moved, and the owner never drives it.  I have tons more that I'll post and keep the thread alive.
