- Frank Parks has the ultimate Mopar Hoard. SIX Tractor Trailers packed full of MOPAR muscle car parts! He's been collecting Mopar cars and parts for many years, and has been in business in Summerville, Georgia since 1994. He has the ultimate Mopar mega hoard, with nearly 100 vehicles on the property and hundreds of thousands of parts, stashed away for safe keeping. This is one of the most awesome collections I've ever seen. EVERY piece is documented and tagged....this is HOLY GRAIL level of hoarding. He has saved dozens of cars from being scrapped, and his insane attention to detail has created one of the biggest private collections of Mopar parts ever. Pretty crazy stuff for any muscle car enthusiast!
Frank does sell items from his collection. If you'd like to reach him, email Frank at moparrestos@gmail.com or give him a call at 706-857-2832. Or you can find Mopar Restos on Facebook here: / mopar-restos-167320263...

He's a special kind of hoarder: TIDY and ORGANIZED!
Yes! It's a rare combination.
He's not a hoarder, he's a collector of vintage mopar parts 😎👍
@@Ratridez ,,,,,,,so true.................organized.............
Frank's phone should be ringing rite now. Men like him are a treasure to find too. Thanks for sharing this 👍👍👍
He's made a living off of Mopar parts, and I hope he continues to do that for many years to come. He definitely has plenty of inventory!
As a man who loves all muscle cars God bless you for preserving our history...
Preserving them for what? To sit and rust away in his possession? We love that he took them from the crusher BUT what value are they when he's unwilling to let them go to someone who will put them back on the road. Hoarding cars isn't what I would call 'preserving',, SELL THEM to people who will do something with them other than let them sit and rust away, these cars will be sold off at an estate auction one day years from now,, or they'll be drug off to the crusher because they're so far gone there's nothing left to recover.
That"s Why They Showing, BELIEVE & HE SAID, I WISH I HAD MORE CUSTOMERS !!!!
Wow!! GREAT video, amazing stash and Frank is absolutely one of a kind. Would love to meet him one day.
Lol my 1st thought was does Uncle Tony know this man
Our Mopar Worlds are like parallel universes... Looking forward to the day you can stay and visit a while. Until then, wishing you and your Camera helper the best! Frank at Mopar Restos.
Road trip!
I'm "road restoring" a 1966 Barracuda right now! Pretty complete car but I definitely will need some parts to finish it up. Thanks Uncle Tony for sharing the video! If you get time check out my ride on my channel 🤙💚
I was just thinking about you Uncle Tony’s Garage
His organization is amazing....I wish my brain could retain that much detailed Info.Thanks for that dude...he's an amazing person and very proud of his collection
There aren't many guys like Frank. He's a joy to be around....you could tell that he was excited to tell me (and the audience) about all of his rescued cars and parts.
I'm half Frank's age and i can see myself heading in his direction, i've been saving parts and cars since i was 14.
My husband has been dealing with Frank for years he is his "go to man"
I'm grateful for a man like Frank , who is a Specialist in what he does !!!
Not a single screen was double tapped during this episode....... this man is who us Mopar guys look up to and wish we had a 1/4 of the parts 👌🏻💯
Frank is the man! I love his passion for the "everyday" Mopars.
@@HotRodHoarder absolutely! Check out our latest video we are they same way! Love the channel btw hopefully you head over and enjoy ours too Cheers
Your doing a very noble thing with your channel. Once these old timers are gone we'll never get these storys back. How to get power out of an ls has been recorded and documented. But the knowledge these guys have is like secrets almost,Thanks again and God bless.
Thank you for the kind words Darrin! I feel the same way...this guy is walking around with so much knowledge in his head. His stories need to be documented...glad I could be the guy to play a small part in that.
Thats why we have to keep sharing the stories and knowledge to keep it alive for the younger generation coming up. As long as it stays hidden it gets lost to time. Keep up the good work👍
Hell of a good guy right there, sure wish he was closer.
Now THAT is a hoard! This guy is amazing...Who has the time to label and organize such a crazy amount of parts? Thanks
for showing us this outrageous stash!
A guy who spent 40 years collecting.
Big difference when everything is documented like that and you can put your hand on it anytime. Great that Frank was able to save a few Mopars that would have been crushed. Outside in the Southern states is dry with no snow at least. Much enjoyed that video as a Mopar fan.
Thanks for watching Alan. It was awesome to hang out with Frank and soak up just a tiny bit of his Mopar knowledge.
The excitement in knowledge just pouring out ! He finally has someone to tell ! Thanks for documenting this !
Yes, it was so fun to hear him talk about these cars and parts. He's devoted his life to accumulating this stuff, and he's understandably proud to talk about it.
Man i wish this video was about 6 more hours. This guy knows his stuff
Frank is the man! I enjoyed every minute of my time there.
Nick’s garage in Canada
Would like this place n guy
I watch him on UA-cam.
This guy is very informative on his collection. I know a lot of mopar guys that would like to see this place. Thanks for documenting this guy and his collection
Fantastic to see Franks collection. He is a guru/legend/inspiration/top notch bloke of high calibre who has SH*T SORTED!!!. So unusual. EVERYTHING in stock is labelled/sorted/grouped/accessible and ready to go to someone in need. Man, he has to be THE role model and an example of the highest order. Think of the hours and dedication Frank has put in here. I love the A bodies. Here in NZ thats pretty much all we had. They sold against Ford Falcons and Holdens throughout the 60's/70's. All in association with Australia who supplied us with wagons. Hardtops were rare but many have survived to today. I didnt see too many 63-66 Valiants/Barracudas/Darts?? Perhaps Frank has zero'd in on just mid to late 60's and on? Slanters are good motors. Period. Clocked 55,000 mls in a 70 Wagon with a rebuilt slant 6/man. Sold her on and only 2 valves out of adjustment by 1-2 thou only. Ran Mobil 1 and had a module that took the load off the points. They had no wear. Did a lot of towing. Great memories. Bro has a 63 post with a slant but a 273 on hand for one day. Maybe. Gone down the AMC road but will always luv the Mopar A's. Steve
Just amazes me at the memory the man has! Wow. He is very dedicated to the mopars. He knows his stuff.
I was blown away with his attention to detail. I hope I have his energy and his memory when I am his age.
Let it rust away then you can sale it by the pound
30 seconds in and I’m already blown away.
It's insane! I loved every minute of hanging out at his shop and I'm a Chevy guy lol.
Ya I enjoyed every minute of it, this is a real old school Mopar guy
Him and Mark Woarman would be mind blowing as a team
Mopar dudes unite!
I was thinking the exact same thing, those two together have more info in there heads than all the old mopar dealer books combined. Because some rare things just weren’t in the books.
Frank: it was my dear wife that told me, after I survived a bout with covid, " you better figure out which dumpster you want to be buried in with your collection", " dumpster no.1 or 100". She also said " someone else is going to get rich off your efforts of collecting". There comes a time to either find your clone or cash in. Thank God I didn't go to the hospital, I would've never been able to start selling my collections. I love ya man!
This guy is crazy nice! I talked to him on a Facebook group when i had blown up my rearend. He said he’d give me a replacement if i’d come get it! Unfortunately i never got to make it out, but i sure plan to roadtrip my Dart out there this summer!
His organization is amazing
That 64-65 street wedge complete is my one of my fav in the video. I bet I pushed pause 20 times. This video shocked me that this exists still. This guy actually cares about the parts and cars. Huge respect.
I had no idea the Street Wedge was such a rare beast! I learned a LOT during my time at Frank's place.
my father Arlis Ell built drove 28 ford roadster 426 max wedge I rember it had two carter 1000CFM offset manifold. AA/Altered class spring of 1964 @thunder field Puyallup raceway Broke NHR record and back the time up 11.31 @ 129 mph dad was only 20 years old . That old motor is still in moms barn. great video ,thnx
All I can say is WOW!...
Thank you, for bringing this collection and an amazing man to our attention!
Thank you for watching Robert!
I'm literally beside myself!! God bless you for your amazing attention to detail. Sincerely hope I get to meet you one day. Keep on keeping on my friend.
Never seen anything like it. The cataloged parts collection is beyond stunning. Got a 64 Mopar myself, will have to give Frank a call. Thanks for sharing!
It’s good to see guys saving less desirable cars and parts. This stuff will become more desirable as it’s more affordable for young guys. Lots of cool cars and the organization is very impressive
Wow!! I'm speechless.. What an amazing collection and such a cool guy. His organisation and knowledge is incredible.
Thanks for another great video 👍
Uncle Tony needs to meet this man!
I was thinking the same thing lol
Uncle Tony would love this place, no doubt!
He will be here... Sooner or later... Frank Parks
One of the best mopar videos I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
OMG!!! this guy is from another planet. Most organized hoarder ever seen. What a character
man i would like to hear him and Nick from Nicks garage ... Nick needs to get with him
Him and Nick from Nick's garage with make one helluva team and put one monster Mopar together.
This guy could literally has enough parts to set up an assembly line.
This is the supply to build an army of mopars for when we're in the Mad Max era soon to come. My mopar's ready !!!
There's many a buildable cars and parts, the wanting of all old cars are coming back into the market place. I could set up camp and stay out there for days, just exciting to see.
This guy is a living legend.... should be a full movie around Frank.
Holy shit !!! This guy has EVERYTHING. Salvage yards are like going to Disney World for car guys. This is amazing, what a great video, makes this 57 yo happy 😁
I'm still trying to understand how anyone could collect, document and become this knowledgeable in 3 lifetimes, let alone one.
I'm truley amazed at this man and what he has accomplished. He is a genuis in my opinion.
You fall in love with a car when its "worthless" "uncollectable" "grandma's car"....you name it, no one wants it. You love it because its what it is .....something for you....then suddenly, 30 goes by and every dumb shit that thinks he knows something about cars, dives the price of every bolt through the roof. Suddenly, your hobby becomes to expensive. Guys like frank can survive that because he sells parts, guys like me can get left behind because its not fun anymore, paying an arm and a leg for something that was a big part of my youth. I built and raced Chargers and Coronets....but now I play with old Dodge Trucks because I don't have to empty my bank account for a simple hobby. I still have my 68 RT, my 72 Charger and my 72 Road Runner...... But I let go of my 68 and 70 Chargers to pay for my hobby.....it was never about the money, its about my love of Mopar. I'm 56, been a Mopar guy since 1970 when Grandpa took me to the races at 6 years old in his 1968 Dodge Coronet 383 magnum.
Absolutely amazing! What a cool collection and frank really knows his stuff
You can see Frank's passion pouring out of him as he explains about everything in his collection.
What a great opportunity to see such a collection.
I'm not a Mopar guy but this is great. He doesn't need a computer - he knows every car and part he has.
Quality and quantity, shake that mans hand !
Frank is an absolute treasure!
He aint sellin nuttin , he gonna keep it all
At least he will sell stuff,I hate the hoarders that keep stuff that will never get used. The same types that have cars in the yard for 30 years and "I'm gonna fix it someday." As it rusts into the ground. This man has his game down!
That was fantastic, thanks for taking the time to document and share the tour. As a Mopar guy in Australia, I can only dream about getting my hands on such cool parts.
Unbelievable. It's such a labor of love and commitment that it almost makes no sense.
A car is a life. It needs oxygen, fuel and energy to exist.... just like you... and think about all the lives he has saved.
Cheers to you, brother!
You get it... Thanks, Frank Parks/ Mopaar Restos
We were honoured to have Frank on our live stream, and hope he joins us again! Not everyone wants late model hemi stuff if we were closer I’d buy all kinds of stuff! Esp the truck stuff!
He's one of the most organized hoarders I've ever seen. He's very smart to tag each part and document what he paid at the time. Thanks for sharing his story.
It's.amazing how he remembers all that where he got it from how much he paid for it and some awesome story s to go along with it smart man
I am happy this video showed up in my watch feed. This was an amazing watch. I could listen to Frank all day. I LOVE the stories behind each and every piece. Very good idea of keeping a reference set of something to a swap meet to see if individual pieces can be purchased to build another complete set. Very handy tip.
Just as I've looked around and seen so much that's gone wrong, I run across this. Now all that bad stuff is shrinking and moving away. I'll start soaking up some of Frank's good time. Thanks!
Just called this guy. Headed there tomorrow to drop my 73 off. The knowledge he just layed on me about the rear end in this car was amazing. Finally gonna get this 8 3/4 fixed right!
Thanks for sharing. Looks like I'm going to make a road trip one day.
Hard to find 25yrs ago! He's sitting on a gold mine!
Isn't that the truth
ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING! God bless you for saving these parts!
God he has some beautifully cars wow ..impressive ..and there are many Mopar lovers up this way for sure
A man after my own heart ! Love mopars and 68' Darts especially like the GTS in his garage he built, drool....
Let me set the record straight about my blue 68 383 GTS... I purchased it in 2003, basically like it is! I DID NOT BUILD THIS CAR! IT IS AN OLDER RESTORATION SHOWING IT"S AGE! Thanks for watching the video. Later , Frank Parks.
This was great. I love this kind of content, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I hope to check out more collections soon. This one will be pretty hard to top though!
@@HotRodHoarder , @Junk Man 386 said along with many others wish there was an uncut 8 hour version of everything he's so knowledgeable. i just love listening to old time story from my elders always get the feels ,its like i was born in the wrong time. my dad is an old 60's-70's car nut he doesn't talk much tho so no story time lol still awesome dad we restored my first car (His Baby) together 1973 scamp slant 6. the only time he showed real emotion was when a drunk/crazy guy crashed threw our shed into it...... we built another on together he likes dogde/plymouth/crysler and we got an amc gremlin x which has a crysler drivetrain so he loved it when we were done i gave it to him even tho it was supposed to be mine. second time real emotion came from him lol.... anyway keep up the great vids!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE MOPAR FAN STELLANTIS SHOULD HAVE GIFTED A NEW HELLCAT TO!
He IS the ultimate Mopar preservationist.
That takes incredible dedication or possibly an obsession. Either way he has a great collection of parts. I hope he's able to pass this stuff on to folks that will appreciate it 😊
Wow it’s like being in a grown man MOPARS R US 👍🏻he’s such a humble and passionate man on what he loves and wants to save
This guy is great thanks for the video it brought back a lot of old Mopar memories
Everything so clean and so neat and organized ! The guy is a legend !
Thanks for sharing this !!!
The amount of time devoted to organizing this collection is just mind blowing.
All I can say is................ Oh WOW!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Totally amazing. Thank god for people like this. They are perserving history. If you need anything mopar go support this man. Great video again.👍
WHAT A MOPAR DUDE. A WALKING ENCLOPEDIA. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO.
Wow this guy is great. For him to save all of these cars even tho they are not gtxs and chargers is great. You could build whatever you want to with all that, what a cool guy.
I think that's what I admire the most about him. He's doing the Mopar thing without the majorly inflated pricing.
That fella is doing it right, roadside appearance of his property is on point. Looks great! Not that the messy hoarders aren't doing a service but this fella has it right.
Looks good from the road, parts easy to find, no piles of junk just laying around with old appliances mixed in. lol
He's definitely my kind of person a Mopar bro thru-and-thru
I am a GM guy , but RESPECT this guys approach to conserve mopar history . Would love to have. 340 , 4 soeed Dart
So cool. I worked in a scrap yard in the early to mid eighties. Wow, sold alot of these parts....many look familiar. Now they're worth high dollars. Dual snorkel air cleaners were common, now they're gold 😲
He seems like a really cool down to earth kinda guy, someone you could sit and listen to him talk all day..lol he has a gold mine but it sounds like he doesn't want to sell anything..lol. Anyway great video and if I was still doing mopars I would would love to meet him ant talk him out if parts. Anyway great video keep'em coming brother..🇺🇸 MURICA
You can hear it in his voice when he talks about these cars he gets excited and almost talks faster than he can breathe I can see the passion for saving these cars in his eyes what a guy would’ve liked to be his son imagine the car he would’ve set me up with ,sorry Dad 😂
One man living his dream and bloody good luck to him.
It was nice talking to you again Frank. Nick from Nick's Garage..
I only wish that I had some of the rare parts you needed...
@@frankparks4900 .. Thanks Frank. I will keep you in mind for anything.
That is a very special man with a very special collection. Thanks for sharing.
continued.. parts that were hard to get 30 years ago. Franks Mega Mopar stash made mine look like a garage sale. Franks ability to save those cars from a gruesome end is commendable and deserving of a sincere Thank You for rescuing them
Frank is Amazing!! What passion.
Nice to see a guy whose willing to sell and help out another guy ,instead of the hoarder who just lets it go rust
Awesome show now I know where there's more mopar parts thanks keep up the good work
Tommy, I'm celebrating your 100,000 subscribers! WOW! No telling where all your hard work is taking your channel... Even bigger numbers in the future! Thanks for everything!
Oh how the Mopar God's are a smilin'!! (& me too!!) I absolutely love to see these stashes!! Thank you for this upload!!
Great video! There needs to be more people like this guy out there saving these gems. I have seen other guys saving mustangs, another saving cougars, another saving torinos and others doing the same for all the other popular muscle cars. Hopefully this trend will continue with the younger generation.
Agreed! The effort he has put into saving these cars and parts is extraordinary!
OUTSTANDING Video !! Unbelievable collection ! All I can say is WOW !!!
It's 3 years later. Still it's more revalvent,an better each day time passes, I sort of understand, I bought cars to keep them from crusher, an refused to break certain thing up ! But Frank , your the most bestest greatest, collector,
That us different people wish we were ! Thanks again for all your time you gave to the preservation of these prime examples of MOPAR History! God Bless! 😊 💯%
My mind is blown!!!!.......priceless collection!!!!
You did this man Justice. 🏁
Thank you for sharing this with us, I need to talk to this guy one day hopefully soon.
He’s got a goldmine of Mopars wow! And well organized!
Thank you SO much for this info. My dad and I are restoring a 1967 dodge dart gt. It is getting painted right now. The color is going to be B5 blue. But their are a lot of parts we will still need, even though we have a donor car. I will pass this info on to my dad tomorrow. Thanks again
That's awesome! Hard to go wrong with B5 blue...you guys will enjoy speaking with Frank. As you can tell, he loves Darts!
Wow gold mine in my eyes! Guy has a good memory!
That big block 4 door is perfect for me
aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, That's my 426 street wedge!!!!!!!!!! I want!!!!!😍😍😍 Thanks fer sharin'!
I had no idea they were so rare! I learned a lot from Mr. Frank!
Frank has an amazing memory very well spoken and a hero as far as saving these old Mopar parts and vehicles it’s part of American history and we’re sure lucky to have him do what he’s doing, I wish she was a neighbour of mine
Cool little Alpha tucked away there. This gentleman is the definition of steward to all Mopar fans! His stories are awesome and I want that blue Dart GTS!! BADLY!!
Great place to get original Mopar parts for a project car your building. It’s all about the love of these historic cars
340 Heaven!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!! Great video!
Yeah, what a great hoard. He does like darts! But that amount of good clean usable mopar parts is truly amazing. Love this video. Thanks. 👍
He definitely has a soft spot for Darts. Hearing him list off the options of each of those cars out back was awesome...definitely a passionate dude.
Frank is a wealth of information , Amazing !
Great video, makes me feel better about saving all the Mopar stuff I’ve gathered through the years
