When you hear about a Malaise Era Dodge Coronet, most of the time it's a 1974 example, because that was the year of the Bluesmobile . That means that 1974 Chrysler C-body stands a much better chance of being cared for than a '73. Here's an example I spotted at a local junkyard, near the Country Squire wagon ; as a 1973 Monaco with a much different grille than Jake and Elwood's car, there was no chance that the healing rays of an internationally successful megafranchise such as the Blues Brothers would ever convince its owner to pay for the $381 repair (or maybe it was an accumulation of parking tickets) that ultimately doomed it to the wrecking yard. But hey, check out the CB antenna and rear window blinds! galleryPost('Junked73Coronet', 20, '1973 Dodge Coronet Custom Down On The Junkyard');

Big four-door 60s Chrysler products (such as the '66 Monaco we saw recently ) aren't really worth a lot of money these days, so when that 318 or 383 finally gets a death rattle... well, that sound often means a one-way ride to the Final Parking Lot. This 1965 Dodge 880 hung in there longer than most, but now it's a parts donor (right next to a '79 Magnum ) Make the jump for a second gallery. galleryPost('Junkyard65Polara880Top', 6, '1965 Dodge Polara Awaits The Crusher Part 1'); galleryPost('Junkyard65PolaraJump', 8, '1965 Dodge Polara Awaits The Crusher Part 2');

After two consecutive days of old Junkyard Find Dodges, we might as well see yet another one. It's a sign of how many 60s Chrysler A-bodies were manufactured (and how rugged they were) that you see more of them in the junkyard today than you do, say, 20-year-old Hyundai Excels. This one is a bit new to have the pushbutton shifter, but it's still packed with parts that will no doubt live on in another Dart, Valiant, or Barracuda. galleryPost('Junk66DartTop', 6, 'End of the Line For 1966 Dart Part 1'); galleryPost('Junk66DartJump', 10, 'End of the Line For 1966 Dart Part 2');

The junkyard is fun (and our wannabe 24 Hours of LeMons car hungers for parts), so I'm going to follow up the Junked Opel GT with the latest interesting find at an East Bay self-service wrecking yard: this 1966 Dodge Monaco. It's got a big-block (feel free to decode the build tag and tell us whether it's a 361 or 383, Mopar lovers) and still showing a sense of style even as it awaits its final ride. Make the jump to see even more photos. galleryPost('Junk66MonacoTop', 6, 'Junked 1966 Dodge Monaco Part 1'); galleryPost('Junk66MonacoJump', 15, 'Junked 1966 Dodge Monaco Part 2');
