The Trip to Bountiful. . . Benny's

[Ripinator]

Spent time last week at the Chrysler 300 Club, Intl. Fall Meet at the Mountain Lake Lodge near Blacksburg, VA. On Thursday, we took a tour of Benny Buckner's Mopar junk yard in Princeton, WV. I took a few pictures that may be of interest. Benny has parts, parts-cars and finished / restored cars. Here are 10 shots, and I have more if anyone is interested.

Man, would I love to get my hands on this NY'r. Looks almost like you might just be able to driver it outta there. Probably not, but close. Damn shame its just sitting there. Damn.

Great photo's, you don't see yard cars that nice in my neck of the woods.

I think it was a column shift, and the interior looked pretty well baked. . .

I know....I know, Dave.. A 440 NY'r coup. I'm desperately trying to come up with a good logical argument for why I need to drive out to Princeton WV. Why couldn't this be in Jersey.

I just google/map the address. 7hr ride for me...one way. Was hoping it was at worse a day trip there a back, go out there at sun up, get back at dusk.
That about kills any chances for me, go ahead and have at it. :sad11:
