This Michigan collector turned an old sand pit into a graveyard for dozens of classic Mopar vehicles

This Michigan collector decided to turn an old sand pit into a graveyard for dozens of classic Mopar vehicles.

A recent YouTube video took viewers deep into a private wooded sand quarry in Michigan that had slowly become a resting place for forgotten muscle cars.

Scattered across the site were decaying Challengers, Cudas, Coronets, and Satellites, many of them stripped, rusted, and overtaken by nature.

While most of the cars were far beyond saving, the sheer concentration of rare Mopar metal made the location unforgettable.

Michigan collector decided to turn an old sand pit into a graveyard

The new video followed the host of Auto Archeology as he walked through the former sand pit alongside the property owner, who had collected and broken up cars there for decades.

One of the first cars shown was a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, once finished in Plum Crazy purple, with only traces of paint left to hint at its former glory.

The car had been cut up years earlier, leaving little behind beyond rusted panels and a roof that had not escaped corrosion.

Not far away sat a 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T in B5 Blue.

Despite its rough condition, the YouTuber confirmed it had originally been a 440 R/T four-speed car by checking the dash VIN and spotting the remains of the four-speed hump.

It had spent years exposed to the elements, but key visual cues like its taillight lenses still identified it as a genuine R/T.

As the walk continued, the collector pointed out cars that had served mainly as parts donors, including an Imperial, a Marada, and other full-size abandoned Mopars.

Some pieces had even been sold to owners in other states who needed hard-to-find glass or trim.

It was full of classic Mopar vehicles

The most striking section of the property was the cluster of E-body cars hidden deeper in the woods.

Several Dodge Challengers and Plymouth Cudas were scattered across the area, many with trees growing through them or panels collapsing under their own weight.

A 1971 Challenger with a vinyl top had been almost completely swallowed by the forest, while a 1970 Challenger SE still had remnants of its trim, options, and even a drivetrain despite being heavily stripped.

One of the most emotional moments came with a real Sassy Grass Green 1971 Challenger, a 318 automatic car that clearly resonated with the host.

Nearby were the remains of a 1972 Challenger Rallye 340, one of the most complete cars left on the property, though still missing its engine and transmission.

The host explained he had waited until winter to film, since heavy summer growth of trees and plants had previously hidden many of the cars.

By the end of the video, it was clear the sand pit was less a restoration opportunity and more a haunting graveyard of Mopar history slowly returning to the earth.
