Auto Archaeology got rare access to Stephens Performance in Alabama, a property with enough B-body Mopars — Chargers, Road Runners, Coronets, GTXs, and Super Bees — to justify an entire video series just covering the first section. Rows of cars most collectors only ever see one at a time sit here by the dozen, in every condition from parts donor to genuine project car. And this is reportedly just the beginning. Watch the first chapter and see what else the property might be hiding.
Every serious Mopar collector has heard rumors of a yard somewhere in Alabama that supposedly puts every other Mopar boneyard to shame — rows of Chargers, Road Runners, Coronets, GTXs, and Super Bees, all sitting in various states of decay and preservation. Auto Archaeology finally got access to Stephens Performance, and what they found in just the first section of the property was enough to make this the opening chapter of an entire series rather than a single standalone video. Walking row after row of B-body Mopars that most collectors only ever see one at a time is a genuinely disorienting experience, and the footage makes that disorientation obvious. The scale alone raises an obvious question: if this is only the first section, what does the rest of the property actually hold?
Why B-Body Mopars Dominate This Yard
Chargers, Road Runners, Coronets, GTXs, and Super Bees all share the same B-body platform underneath their distinct sheet metal, which is part of why a single yard can accumulate so many of them. Parts commonality, shared drivetrains, and overlapping production runs mean a property specializing in this era of Mopar tends to snowball — one car becomes a parts source for the next, and the collection grows almost by accident over years or decades.

Stephens Performances Reputation in the Mopar World
Getting access to a property like this one isn’t as simple as showing up with a camera. Yards with this kind of inventory tend to stay quiet by design, known mostly through word of mouth among people who already understand what they’re looking at. Auto Archaeology framing this as the first video in a series suggests Stephens Performance earned enough trust to open the gates fully, rather than offering a single curated walk-through.
What First Section Really Means for a Property Like This
Describing this footage as just the first section of Stephens Performance is doing a lot of work. It implies a property large enough that a single video can’t reasonably cover it, and it sets up the expectation that later installments will dig into different corners of the yard — possibly less common models, project cars, or vehicles in better condition than what’s shown here. For anyone who cares about this era of Mopar, that’s a real hook to keep watching the series.
The Bittersweet Reality of a Yard Like This
Yards packed with this many B-body Mopars are simultaneously a treasure trove and a graveyard. Some of these cars are almost certainly beyond reasonable restoration, kept around purely as parts donors for cars that still have a shot. Others might be one dedicated buyer away from a full comeback. That tension — between what’s salvageable and what’s simply gone — is part of what makes junkyard content like this so compelling to anyone who has ever restored a car themselves.
How This Yard Compares to Other Known Mopar Boneyards
Mopar collectors already trade stories about a handful of famous boneyards scattered across the country, places that have achieved almost mythical status purely through word of mouth and the occasional viral photo. What sets a property like Stephens Performance apart is scale combined with access — plenty of yards have a handful of notable cars, but few can fill an entire opening video with nothing but B-body sheet metal and still have more to show in later installments.
The Restoration Math Behind a Yard Like This
For every car in a yard like this that gets bought as a genuine restoration project, several more will end up picked apart for sheet metal, trim, or drivetrain parts that keep other cars on the road. That math is exactly why yards specializing in a single body style hold so much value to the wider Mopar community — they function less like a junkyard and more like a shared parts bank for an entire generation of B-body owners.
