Doing my usual check at CWS Auctions for estate sale cars, I found !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for a rare (around 485-500 made) 1970 Hurst Edition Chrysler 300 in Monroe, NJ:

Kinja'd!!!

Unfortunately there's a snag: "Vehicle Must be Sold to a Licensed Scrap/Salvage Dealer. Vehicle Cannot be Re-Registered."

It definitely has issues (some idiot managed to break the fiberglass trunk lid), but the 440 and Hurst goodies seem to be intact. If anyone here is a member of a Mopar forum, try to get the word out and find a loophole to save it from the crusher...

OffRoadKarter could probably throw a rock at it from his back yard...if it was a Max Wedge I'd be pleading and begging my friend to take me there with his truck and trailer, but unfortunately, it's not, and to call that rough around the edges in an understatement.

Some Hurst toys and a 440 aren't enough for me...

I'd bet that the springs are through the rear trunk, and that the undercarriage is in terrible shape.

Assuming the undercarriage still exists

If this makes you sad, check this place out. I always remember passing this place as a kid, mouth watering and dreaming. http://www.classicnation.com/700-abandoned-…

Also, my neighbor had(has, just not my neighbor anymore) a mopar graveyard behind his house. I still remember seeing his Super Bee wasting away in the field, and it always tore me apart.

I know where one of these is sitting under a carport at a duplex neighborhood. Looks like it hasn't moved in years but is all there
