A lot of us spend our lives looking for these cars and parts. And this one Man has grabbed all of this, which is actually more than one person could possibly manage. Its a shame.
I’ll stick with my 401. I suspect that the muscle cars will soon go the same way that the older antique cars did. Kids today don’t care and can’t afford or do a restoration. My neighbor had an old Cuda and every time it was started up it became apparent why it used to be easy to commit suicide by shutting yourself in the garage with a running car. Gack.
Just totally blown away by what you’ve showing… oh my god. Definitely something for any Mopar guy, would love to buy a few parts. Great video to show us
I think it’s a mental issue since childhood. “ you’re jealous and I’m not gonna share” syndrome. Back in the seventies and early eighties I had my share of cars including 70 Charger R/T, 71 340 Demon, 68 Satellite 383 4 speed ,66 Chevelle SS 4 speed. They were affordable but now the hobby is ruined by hoarders and speculators. I’m in my sixties now and have an rusty old truck for a hobby and that’s all I need.
I wonder how many people are searching for their matching numbers driveline, and this guy has it sitting on a shelf. He's sitting on a gold mine, for sure.
I have seen comments about the cars rotting away and I agree. This fellow should choose the rarest cars or a personally desired few, and raid the parts pile to restore the favorites. I believe he could probably get several cars restored and pay for it by selling the rest. Sure would be better than watching him let them rot out
I think a guy could sell half of that stuff and have a million dollars in his pocket and could rebuild the rest of the cars and have a few more million.
This is my idea of heaven ... There are those matching number engines and trans to your cars what you have been looking for. He(she?) hoarded them all! :)
The way the Challenger's are stacked,did he build everything as he put them up there?it just looks like a night mare to get them down and out.lol.cool video keep them coming.
That's what he enjoyed he enjoyed having and collecting it he didn't care what condition it was in trust me he enjoyed it just by owning it and looking at it it wasn't a waste to him people are very strange it what makes us great
It’s good to know that all the cars Rob Slobe had, R&R salvage in Aurora MO, didn’t get crushed by his widow, when he passed. May I have the contact details for the current owner(s)? Cheers!!
INCREDIBLE COLLECTION! The time to liquidate is NOW! If they know anything about the restoration hobby and how much time and money needs to be invested vs. how long baby boomers and their kids will still be willing (or able) to invest in such an endeavor. Will it still be feasible in 2030 to restore a Mopar? In 2035? In 2050? Will anyone care? No one knows, but it makes you think right? I saw one six figure investment after another in this video. Nice video!!
@paulbartlet, In the coming years, it will be even MORE feasible because of hybrids and electric vehicles. While the market does ebb and raise sometimes. Classic Mopars never go out of Vogue. All the best and may God bless.
Such a sad situation. All these Mopar gems going to waste as society is trying to move away from combustion engines. I know the owner has a right to do what he chooses to do with them, but it would be awesome to sell some of his inventory to be restored and seen on the highway. Great video..
I guess it's nice to know there are places like this out there, but by the looks of it they been sitting there for over ten years and will still be sitting there another ten and then another ten. So sad.
I really can't believe the early owners of these cars let them go to hell in the first place I've had my AMX for over 40 years it still looks great and runs nice granted it takes a lot of dedication effort and cash but aren't the worth it .hope that dude restores as many as possible.
This is so painful and at the same time fascinating to watch. I know its someones collection and more power to them but the history that's just sitting is sad.
Yep it sure does them a lot of good letting them sit outside in the elements ... Oh yeah I've heard the line a hundred times. I'm gonna start restoring those cars sitting outside any minute ! Yeah, sure they are.
GOTTA ask if your friend is willing to part with any of them? A more complete-ish model is obviously preferred but if he were to be able to get any of them out is he open to possible sales? I have a 69 camaro rs/ss but I've always had a soft spot for the old mopars in particular the years he has stored. I love the body lines of the cudas and challengers and while it would take a lot of money time and work it looks like he has some viable restoration/restomod specimens in there AND while may not get numbers matching with the rest he has you could conceivably get a hemi or a 440 off his shelf and build it up from there as a period correct drive train. Options abound
Something has to be wrong with someone that would do this and not sell what he has... People trying to restore these cars scrounging for parts. And this guy probably has everything you need makes no sense
It's a hoarding condition. At least it's worth a fortune and stored well, but unpacking it would take months. It will probably stay just like that until the owner passes away, and then in haste, some of it will get trashed. It's a shame, but it's cool to see.
Damn shame that nobody's ever gonna do a damn thing with those cars or those parts. Well, they'll do something with the parts but those cars will never get put back together.
Can you tell me at 13 min 41 secs is a cuda pictured with flames on the fender is that a R code vin and maybe has a cross memeber for a 440 ? Just curious it would be a good friend of mines car from 1980-81
When iwas a kid back in the 1970s those cars where a dime dozen. I had an uncle that went to auctions and bought cars wrecked. Then he fixed then would sell them. Some people just knew what to collect back in the 60's,70' and 80's. Then they would hoard them.
I would like to know why and how cars like this were once brand new and someone's pride and joy, to looking like it was dragged out of a swamp. I live in northern IL were every car rusted . Pretty much every old car I had in the 90's was a rust bucket, and not worth much. I never can across a Mopar E-body. I meet a guy at local show with a 1969 Charger, I asked him what it looked like before restoration, he picked up a piece of rusty metal, then show me a picture. I'm about 50yrs old, so I wasn't around when these cars were new.
The sad thing is that as the owner ages out and "the kids" take over most of this stuff will just be crushed for recycling. I've seen it happen countless times. Use it NOW while you still can...
Yeah let's just donate rare Mopar parts to some kids. /s I've seen decent cars go to the junk yards. Maybe they should send those to the kids to work on.
This guys been keeping all this stuff meanwhile to restore thease cars you have to buy Chinese crap the put them together. Put that shit on the market at reasonable prices and let people build
What motor is or was in the 71 triple black Cuda? Is it for sale with or without the motor? How do we contact them and do they do restorations for customers?
Let me guess, he is a young man and plans to live forever or if he decided tomorrow to sell everything would he be able to take the money with him to the grave? Most likely nothing much is for sale either. I thank this guy for doing what he did for the hobby by saving these for the future generations to come but what is his advantage when he dies? I hope he comes to terms with his place in life and enjoys watching others thanking him for selling something. If it was me i would turn away flippers and sell them one by one to ordinary people that will put these cars in good homes instead of the quick buck guys that do not love these classics but bow to the dollar only. Nice to find out he restores some as his pass time or profit but lets face it even a young man could not restore all of them by himself. Maybe i am wrong about everything but i have met a lot of guys that let classics rot till no one wants them anymore.
It looks like he bought a lot of wrecks and totaled hulks with two or three easily restorable rollers, otherwise it's a collection of spare parts. Sad.
My garage looks like that but more organized. Looking to sell all. Sorry don't want to list my number or email here. My cars are 'Cuda, Challenger WSS, Plum Crazy Roadrunner, and a 300H. All , all engines except 340 and 426, a lot of 727' tranny's, So many parts manuals etc. Plus memorabilia. Cars are outdoors and unfortunately rusting. Cannot do restorations myself and can't afford to have a place do it for me. It's a sad situation...brings tears to my eyes..
Unfortunately I believe that west of the Rockies, finding Charger parts from that era are likely to be scarcer than a restored’Cuda for $2,500 bucks. Remember a show called the “Dukes of Hazard”. I’m not sure that enough time has passed to replenish the stock.
All these cars at one point it time were worth hardly anything, as they were just old, used up, wore out cars at the time, to the public masses. No one wanted them. Now that the millions of them before were junked, scraped and crushed for probably next to nothing, everyone is upset at this guy, that used his time and effort to literally drag these ones home. This guy saved these from the fate of the crusher... be mad at the everyday people that scraped the millions of these before and thought nothing of
@AutoArchaeology,. As to all of the comments asking about parts. I recently listed a place that sells parts in Alabama. Just curious, both comments were deleted, why?
“Someday I’m going to…die and let my estate liquidate my horde of valuable parts that others could have used to restore their cars if I had sold them, because I’m not going to use them myself!” Sorry, but this collection took decades to accumulate and let go to waste, out of sight from the other hobbyists who could have appreciated it. It’s like being filthy rich and buying all the cool cars and hiding them in Saudi Arabia. Sorry, I’m saddened to see this waste. He will never restore one of those cars sitting outside or in the racks.
@@AutoArchaeologyI feel so badly for people with project cars who would love to get their hands on these parts. Out here in viewer land fingers crossed that progress is made before more deterioration takes place. #optomism.

Untouchable parts for untouchable cars. I'm glad I had mine when they were still affordable.
This dude needs to pick one or two of his favorites and auction off the rest. 😢
This is hoarding at a whole other level!!
So cool, the hobby is lucky to have someone save all this stuff. I’m sure it’ll filter into the market eventually
Thanks for showing us nice find

The pallet racks are perfect for storage. My buddy did the same with his building and his Impalas. So Cool!!!
I was just thinking about how much can a three story pallet rack hold.
Depending on the width of the columns but standard ones hold around 4000 lbs per rack.
WOW! Just, WOW!
I think a guy could sell half of that stuff and have a million dollars in his pocket and could rebuild the rest of the cars and have a few more million.
Priceless Mopar history.
Wow you could make so many complete cars

I have no idea.
Nice collection but what a waste to hoard all that stuff and never enjoy any of it.
Not really a waste, a lot people put their money in a 401k. This guy just invested in rare mopars for a retirement fund.
Oh this is only a small sampling of their cars.
Not a waste at all. Especially for the guy who needs a part that is not reproduced.
That's what he enjoyed he enjoyed having and collecting it he didn't care what condition it was in trust me he enjoyed it just by owning it and looking at it it wasn't a waste to him people are very strange it what makes us great
Hoarding wouldn’t be accurate.. It’s called a junk yard, it was well stocked, and probably gave up on the business.
I so wish I knew you when I drug all the 70 442's out of the barn in 2012. It was a once in a lifetime event for me.
I bet! Sounds cool
Pretty amazing
Could you imagine how long it would take to clear the parts and car's out of this one barn? Gives me anxiety lol
It’s good to know that all the cars Rob Slobe had, R&R salvage in Aurora MO, didn’t get crushed by his widow, when he passed. May I have the contact details for the current owner(s)? Cheers!!
Yup, only junk was crushed. Most went to Mopar City and here.

It's a freaking gold mine in there
Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kowalski replica potential there. The clever method of water proofing those trans is interesting too .😊😊
Good Lord what a stash!
I went to a place in Southern Tier of NY that has/had Ford truck parts back to mid 60s. All sorted and under cover. Insane
That does sound crazy!
I learned this when I was a teenager. If it's not running and driving, don't waste your time and money!
what a dirty rotten shame that all these cars were cut up and hoarded and ruined....sickening
Mark Vroomans head would explode if he saw this hoard.
