Cars in Yards: Kudzu covers classic cars Part 2

More cars in the kudzu. Wrapped in blankets of vines, dozens of cars were uncovered for the first time in decades. We tripped on Buicks and climbed across acres of four door cars trying to find an unaccounted for 1967 Camaro. Take a look at more photos from the kudzu expedition just west of Birmingham, Alabama. Read the story here.

1962 Dodge Dart, first year for the downsize and one-year-only design, offered with Slant 6 up to the Ramcharger 413 cubic inch engine. It managed to escape the kudzu.
