David in Indiana told us about bunch of neat, but neglected ,vehicles in his area, including the Sublime Green 1970 Dodge Superbee that was in a previous article. Fortunately, we were able to meet up and do some adventuring. The unexpected part was that he said he had a few cars sitting at his house, which was a welcome surprise.

In his backyard, he had a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, a 1968 Dodge Superbee, and his fun project was an original yellow 1970 Dodge Coronet. The Road Runner was the worst of the two. It had been sitting for a long time before David had saved it. Missing parts, it was a big project. The Superbee was in rough shape as well, but was still solid enough to be considered one of those new trendy "Ratty Muscle Cars". It had been sitting a long time as well before David rescued it and put it in his backyard. He has been working on the Coronet, and it runs and drives well.

David definitely had the Mopar bug. He's one of the next generation of gearheads that still have a passion for these old cars and works to have them and make them nice. Thankfully, he was thoughtful enough to allow the cars in his backyard to move onto better homes since we saw them, so they wouldn't rust away to nothing. We wish more people were like that.
