Description
1958 Chrysler Saratoga, in what may be it's final resting place. Wrecked front end, 4 doors, and no Hemi has doomed this car.Related content

I remember this one. Supposedly it drove to where it sits in this photo even with the frame & suspension messed up, and had 1995 tabs. What is it with dead Mopars and 1995 tabs? A lot of the other cars you bought for parts had them, so did the brown Magnum at S&S

a lot of the cars there had mid-90s tags. Guess that was the lifespan of a 50s-60s car...

At least your cars you got there went for parts and artistic value with a handful of them sold for restoration, I heard they scrapped everything that didn't sell except what they kept, and almost everything at S&S is gonna get scrapped with no parts saved I'm guessing.

I have to call Sartell one of these days, & see what's left.
S&S will probably crush it all, because they are too high-priced.Β But now scrap prices are in the toilet ($80/Ton), so they'd be wise to wait awhile.
Remember I mentioned a big GMC farm truck out this way?Β Its gone.

I'll probably get the cops called on me for trying to suggest $800 for both early 60s Dodge pickups at S&S.

$800 for TWO??Β Yeah, right.

Exactly why they would call the cops on me

i hate when old cars are left to decompose like that, it is like an insult to the architectΒ

Would consider selling one to me? 11x14... how much?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure...Β I think $16 would cover print & postage.....

No floors, no trunk, no rear quarters... all the cars on this property are too far gone to save, unfortunately..

It's sad to see something like this go

And this one is already gone to the crusher, except the fins I kept. All other parts sold on eBay...

it is like it is waiting for the valet to come and get it.

Thank you! One of my favorites too... you can't go wrong with a car like that...

It all depends on how badly rusted it is underneath...
π: 0 β©: 1
A lot of the cars on this property are missing things on the bottom, like entire exhaust systems, floors, pans, trunks, etc...to rust.

Sadly that's what happens.
(Too bad cars weren't made out of aluminum...)

binding it time, to kill who ever left it there!

I second the motion!

It does look beautiful. Sinister too. I'd like to own it, four door rusty cars are beautiful in their own way, if it wasn't for that wrecked fender...

Deep pockets indeed, but who knows, somebody may save her... wonderful shot, btw.

You're welcome ^.^

If you have really DEEP pockets!

Not really. Nobody said it had to go on Barrett-Jackson. It needs no restoration, it's still got all the original paint. Just engine work, brakes, tranny. And you know it's got lead-weight oil in everything, it would take 3 apocalypses to gum oil up like that. There's people that got Model-T's running on their original oil.

Thanks! That was a photo waiting to be taken, if there ever was one

I agree. There's something very special about shots like these. Thanks for sharing.
