    Illinois barn find: 6 Rampages, 1 turbo LeBaron--all for sale

    A while back I learned about an older man about 30 miles from me with a bunch of cars, including several Rampages, but he didn't want to part with any of them. Now he's in poor health, and his family is trying to sell most of the cars, so I went over today to take a look. There are 6 Rampages and a turbo LeBaron convertible, along with at least a couple of dozen other cars of all kinds.

    One of the Rampages looks like it could be in running condition. The others are more questionable. Mostly there doesn't seem to be a great deal of rust, all things considered. A couple of the Rampages have good bed frame rail thingies. One has a camper shell. One has the sliding rear window. One has a pretty good-looking sunroof.

    The exterior of the LeBaron doesn't look bad, including the convertible top. I didn't see any holes in it at all. The interior is kind of rough, with cracked leather and some cracked and/or missing plastic.

    I gather that they are asking $400-$500 each for these cars, and the ones they don't sell will be crushed. I don't know what the timeframe is for that. The cars are all in Carlyle, IL, near Rts. 50 and 127 in Southcentral IL. If anyone is interested, you can PM me for the contact name, address, and phone number.

    I took some pictures and posted them here:

    Edit...I wasn't sure where would be best to post this. Mods feel free to move it if there is a better place.

    Man if I had more space I'd be all over one of those for a future project.

    David, very interested in the rampages but only willing to buy something that doesn't have undercarriage cancer.

    Any chance you could go back out there and take some underbody snap shots of the better condition rampages. I'd hate to drive 350 miles one way for another rust bucket.

    I can, but it will probably be at least next Saturday. Are there any of them you'd especially like me to pay attention to?

    I am REALLY, REALLY anti-ChryCo right now, but I would actually entertain the idea of a Rampage for some bizarre reason. I think I would actually like to have one of those...

    I feel the same way as a bunch of you all, if i was closer i would be all over at least two of those Rampages. heck, they look to be in really good shape, throw in a turbo motor and go. with gas prices and that long of a drive i just can't do it.

    I've decided that if I ever buy another TD it will be one that is already entirely completed. Since these do not hold their value very well, I would be better off getting one that someone else has totally restored already. A Rampage that has been totally gone through would probably be less than $5k and wouldn't have the stress and agony of my blood on it...

    Yeah, good luck finding a totally redone rampage for sale. Those things are getting rare in full cancer dress these days.
