Barn finds, field finds, and other automotive discoveries are generally fun topics of conversation. Every so often, however, you come across those stories that just hurt. That’s exactly what the latest Auto Archaeology upload does to Mopar fans.While discovering a forest of Chrylser muscle cars sounds like a dream come true, finding that most of them are unsavable is a blow to the gut you won’t soon recover from. Rare Mopars Abandoned In Forest Auto Archaeology, YouTube The Auto Archaeologist just uploaded a clip touring a friend’s property that’s loaded up with classic Mopars. While there are some malaise-era machines among the mix, there are a ton of prime muscle cars in this forgotten forest. We’re talking everything from Road Runners and Coronets to ‘Cudas and Challengers.For many Mopar muscle car enthusiasts, the most heart-wrenching moment comes when the Auto Archaeologist walks up on two Dodge Challengers stacked on top of one another. The blue 1971 on the bottom may have potential to be saved at one point, but it has begun its descent into the forest floor. The back-half of another Challenger tossed on top only makes it a harder pill to swallow.As a B-body fan, there were plenty of upsets scattered throughout the upload. None hit harder than the wrecked 1969 Road Runner we get a peek at early on. It was involved in an accident, which is bad enough. Seeing the bullet holes down the side of one of my dream cars just made my stomach turn. Though it’s not like the several clapped-out Coronets were any easier to see in their sorry states. Dirt Is A Car’s Worst Enemy Auto Archaeology, YouTube By the looks of things, many of these cars showed up after they’d been wrecked or decommissioned on account of some sort of failure. That’s better than perfectly functional cars rotting away for no reason, but it’s still tough to digest. Especially knowing a lot of these shells may have had made seriously cool restoration projects before Mother Nature started to chew on them.As solid as some of these cars still appear to be, that sadly may not be the case when you take a closer look. Cars parked on dirt rot extremely fast, and there may be structural damage that simply isn’t worth fixing on top of all the other rust. Even if this is technically a mix of sand and dirt surrounding a sand quarry, the issue of rapid deterioration due to the excess moisture remains. Not All Hope Is Lost Auto Archaeology, YouTube Before your nerves get the best of you, it’s worth mentioning that many of these cars are being parted out. The few pieces they have that are worth using are giving new life to other Mopars in need that have much better bones. So, even if it is sad to see, that is at least a best-case scenario when it comes to abandoned cars. Many just senselessly rot away, with no hope of even helping to keep even another car get back on the road.
