It is not uncommon to see multiple vintage automobiles from the same manufacturer in the same location. If you frequent auto shows or junkyards, the occurrence is fairly common. But it’s extremely uncommon to find a sizable collection of Mopars that includes numerous really rare HEMI automobiles. You are about to observe one.
This collection, which is documented by YouTube’s “Hauntworld – Haunted Houses and Attractions,” is somewhere in Missouri. While travelling there, the presenter claims that it is “in the middle of nowhere,” but later admits that St. Louis is only about an hour away.
However, it is not crucial where exactly this Mopar stockpile is located. It’s vital to note that the owner has kept it concealed from prying eyes for many years. Because, according to our host, the proprietor has never before offered a tour. We certainly missed out on a fantastic assortment.
I now realize that this Mopar hoard is not the first to exist. We’ve seen a few in the past, and I’m fairly certain that Dodge and Plymouth collections can be found all across the country.
But this one is a little unique. Not because it contains more than 100 vehicles, but rather because the majority date back to the heyday of the muscle car.
And I’m not referring to unremarkable cars with 5.2- and 5.6-liter (318- and 340-cubic-inch) V8 engines. This guy accumulated a huge collection of Dodges and Plymouths with 6.3- and 7.2-liter (383- and 440-cubic-inch) and 440-cubic-inch (7.3-liter) engines. More significantly, he is the owner of at least a dozen 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) HEMI-powered Mopars, which are highly uncommon.
Yes, this collection does not consist of tastefully restored vintage cars that are set to win awards at Concours competitions around the United States. With the majority of these cars waiting to be restored or disassembled for parts, this collection is more akin to a junkyard.
However, that’s only because the majority of them were actually salvaged from barns and junkyards, with several being saved just before they were to be scrapped.
The man owns a second Coronet HEMI, but it is a hardtop that was once a dragster instead of a rare drop-top. It doesn’t say much, but it’s still a There is no way that the owner will ever be able to fix up all of his more than 100 cars. But maybe the rarer and more expensive ones will get the attention they deserve pretty soon. This brings me to the HEMI-powered Mopars that are parked here and hoping for a second chance. cool plan. Two 1970 HEMI “Cudas,” one of which is sadly just a carcass, and at least three powerful 426-powered Road Runners are also part of the collection.
The rarest HEMI of the group is the first one to appear on camera. Since it’s a 1968 Dodge Coronet HEMI Convertible, I’m also referring to a Mopar that is virtually unattainable.
How many were constructed, do you know? just nine! And as a result, it is more rare than the million-dollar classic, extremely pricey 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda HEMI Convertible.

Unfortunately, it’s in pretty horrible shape and will require extensive work to become anything other than a parts vehicle. But given that this one-of-nine gem will undoubtedly price more than $500,000 after restoration, it will most likely be fixed.
The man owns a second Coronet HEMI, but it’s a hardtop that was once a dragster rather than a rare drop-top. It has little information, but it’s still a cool setup. A pair of 1970 HEMI “Cudas” (of which one is tragically just a carcass) and no less than three Road Runners that were built with the powerful 426 are also included in the collection.

The collection goes well beyond the yard and structure you can see in the video below, despite the fact that it might look enormous as it is. We won’t get to see the guy’s other automobiles this time, but it appears that he has at least 100 more in a neighboring field.
All things considered, even if it may not be the most extensive and expensive Mopar collection available, it’s definitely worth a look if you’re interested in Dodges and Plymouths from the heyday of the golden muscle car.
Many of these automobiles have been sitting in storage for 30 to 40 years and are unlikely to be moved anytime soon, although the owner may be open to selling a handful of them.
Leave a comment on YouTube for the person who took the video and let him know if you’d like to preserve a Mopar or get one for parts. And get ready for more than 60 minutes of excellent Mopar content.
The good news is that it’s in California, where rust is probably less common than it would be on a similar vehicle located in the Midwest, despite the fact that it severely requires restoration. If we learn anything else, we’ll let you know.
