@ Wilburt's in Elma NY, near Buffalo. Still some parts left on this one, I have no affiliation with the yard or vehicle.

It is definitely there, forget what the website says or what the clerk says, its like the 3rd row from the back, plenty of goodies still left on it. Just ask for directions to the Chrysler 300s. I took the rear bumper filler and some trim pieces. i didn't have the time or the tools to go whole hog on it. I left the tail lights after i got the trim out. those are driver quality.

Hit it up again, took the trunk lid, the wiper arms and the entire engine bay harness! It was already converted to a lean burn delete, so that just saved me a lot of time and money.

Still a lot of good stuff on it.
 
Nice to see parts being used off it. Looks like it has rust through on the fender top. Ouch!

Definitely crusty underneath. It rains rust. This is one of those cars that'll put rust in your eyes.

The rubber, wiring, and other soft stuff is intact though. I wanted to drop the control arms just for those rubber boots on the ends, but everything underneath looks like its been sitting in a salt lake.

There's pretty bad forklift damage underneath too, the fuel tank is crushed and so is the transmission pan
 
Ok, so I couldn't stay away, I went back again and grabbed the steering column, the radiator and fan shroud, and the front door hinges. Also grabbed the windshield washer bottle just because.

Now I'm done with it lol.

Somebody loved on this car once. The carpet is aftermarket and they reupholstered the bottoms of the door panels to match the carpet. The trans fluid was nice and red and I didn't see anything wrong with the antifreeze either
 
What did the carpet look like? Not too often someone would do that. It looks like the factory one in Wolfmans shot but hard to tell.

The carpet fibers are really long. I had the passenger side pulled back when i was pulling the mirror cable back through the fender and there was a manufacturing tag underneath. I should have taken a picture. It was a blue and white tag
