Worth Tx. in about 1972. By that time these cars had already been run hard and put up wet and no one wanted them due to fuel milage (remember the fuel shortage in the early 70's)Also the Plymouths and Daytonas had a prepencaty to have pushed in noses and owners did not have insurance or money to fix them and the cars were considered uggly and sold cheap. A dealership in Ft. Worth removed the wings, noses etc and sold the cars as roadrunners or chargers just to get them off the lot. Another dealer had app 17 Birds on his lot when he filed bankruptcy and as I recall they went cheap. I ran across a T parked in a persons front yard with trah sacks filled with garbage filling the inside parked next to a 56 Ford sunliner in equal shape and he would not sell either one beleiving they were going to become worth something some day. Several years later the local police dept had them removed and sent to the dump for violating city laws on having unlicensed cars in there front yards. Believe me the hose he lived in should have been condemed also but rather than sell those cars he let the city come and get them.
