Calling All Mopar Fans: Mopar Liquidation

For all of the dedicated Mopar fans, you thought that you had an addiction for Mopars? This seller is parting ways with his massive collection of rusty Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, and Desotos. There is not a list provided of how many cars there are, or exactly what cars he has. The only key detail given is that they all require restoration. With only a phone number provided, check out this listing here on craigslist out of Richmond, Virginia.

Roughly counting through the photos provided, there appear to be around 20 cars. Some are rougher than others, but some look to have some hope. This 1959-ish Desoto Fireflite wears a heavy patina, but looks like a worthwhile project. There are a few cars in the main photo that do not look as nice as this Desoto, but this is a bit of a mixed lot as far as makes and condition.

There are also some other cool, but perhaps less desirable cars, like this 1960-62 Dodge lancer. Completely repainted in white with some interesting graphics, this Lancer appears solid, and again looks like another promising project. I personally am a fan of these Lancers, and depending on your intention as a buyer, some of these cars could be sold off to focus on the more “desirables” from the bunch.

Definitely a cool car but perhaps rougher than some others, this rare 1960 Chrysler Windsor Golden Lion sedan may very well be a worthwhile restoration candidate, and hopefully still has its original 383 “wedge” engine. None of these cars are anywhere close to being drivers, but a couple may be able to get away with some elbow grease and some parts here and there. Obviously stored outdoors for a while, several of the other cars are probably in greater need of restoration. With several interesting cars in the mix, and many worthy of restoration or project work, would you jump on this Mopar collection?

    There’s a brown late 1970s Ford Fairmont on the left in the top photo. How did it sneak in there?

      The Aztek is there to scare people away.

    This is nothing like a post was done some weeks ago and even the man in Utah who does restorations on Classic Mopar Cudas mostly had it on his page of Cudas an Roadrunners to other Mopars as that place is in Canada to facts is none of them are for sale as the owner in Canada restores them..

    I think what looks like a 70’s Ford Fairmont is a 1980 Dodge Aspen. I believe that was the first year with the squared off front lights.

      1980 was the only year for the Aspen/ Volare ‘ square headlights. But I believe it is a Ford as the front , to me, looks more like a Fairmont.

      I have to agree with you, Steven, and it looks like they all have been sitting for a long time.. maybe the township ” ordered” him to clear the lot?? and the fact that five of the pics are the same cars, but slightly different angles I think I spotted about 5 that ” might” be saved the rest? meh…

    Can anyone ID the pair of wagons in the lower right hand corner of the overall images?

      They look like Volvo 240 wagons to me.

    That Dodge Lancer is a `62.
    Lancer was `61-`62 only.
    Dart replaced Lancer as it’s compact in `63.
    Though both names had previously been used on larger size cars.

    As a 240 wagon owner, it is indeed a couple of those. One’s a DL, one is not.

    Did the Lancer have a roll rack sunroof option or is it after market? I kind of like it.

    As large as that Lancer opening is I would guess that a fold back cloth “sunroof” was installed at some point.

    When I was in college in the early ’70’s, there was a black ’61 Dodge Polara wagon parked in a student lot with a cloth sun roof that looked big enough to drop a 4 x8 sheet of plywood through!

    Lots of Mopar long roofs here!!!

    The second car from left with sunroof (in front of Fairmont) looks like a 1968 Chevrolet Caprice or possibly Impala. Looks like a sunroof was added to it too, because I don’t think you could order one from the factory nor order a half vinyl top.

    The Fireflite doesn’t have heavy patina, it has a heavy coating of RUST. Tell it like it is.

    Also a 68 Chevy Caprice or Impala Custom Coupe with an aftermarket moonroof, in front of one of the Fairmonts.

    I’ve been by this lot before, it is in Beltsville, MD. Most of the cars in these pictures have not moved 20 years.
