I "saved" this 68 Charger 2 years ago. It has been a fun build so far. Long ways to go

I just spoke with the brothers who I bought my '68 Charger R/T from, later to trade it back to them. They just bought $19k worth of metal for the car, the only original tin is the roof!

Easy to do. A buddy has 40k in metal for a 69 super bee I sold him that I thought was nice and a 70 charger

I agree. For me, it's a combination. Some look like people got hurt badly. Others, I can't imagine someone ruining a car that much, even thought they didn't know what they'd be worth some day. I.E., the Superbird on blocks.
 
The ones that frost my cookies are the I'm gonna fix it up some day as it rots into oblivion.

Found this in a defunct junk yard north Tallahassee. Super rusty, but top mechanism was complete, and most of the convertible specific stuff (X frame, cowl, etc.) was usable. Dressed it up with wheel/tires off my 59 Dodge. Most all of the trim went with it. Sold it on ebay for $$$$$$. Kept the wheels/tires.

Dragged this 70 Barracuda out of a swamp in SE Georgia, along with a 72 Barracuda. Paid $50 each. Both were wrecked, but had several thousand dollars worth of good parts - grille, tail panel, etc. Plus 8 3/4 rear end in the 72, along with disc brakes. Sold what was left to a Mopar friend. He took the 70 to Mopars at Big Daddy's and sold it for more than he had paid for the pair - because the firewall/cowl was in excellent rust free condition.

Don't want to hi-jack the thread and not making it into a sale thread, but this works both ways also. Everyone yells about the guy that won't sell or is going to fix some day, what about the guy THAT WANTS to sell, but no one wants it. What to do? Scrap? Try to sell parts, then get rid of a carcass. Who want's to save this one? '62 "300" Sport. 383 factory floor shift car, pushbutton delete panel. I've had it advertised several times. Was trying to sell as package deal with a Newport hdt. No one seems to want it. It is a perfect parts car for another '62, (I have most trim and grille) or build a Sport clone. The Newport is supposedly sold.

Cool car.
And I agree with your comment about what do you do when people don't want your cars/parts.
I have lots of cars and parts that I would like to sell, but people pass by because it's ''too far away'' or it would ''cost too much to ship it''.

Taken 3 weeks ago. When I first saw it years ago there was no tree on the driver's side. 35000.00 cash couldn't buy it back then, I'm going to fix it !!!!!!

I offered the guy $35000 in 1998 and he would not entertain it at all. Been back several times since. He bought the car new and was a painter. I was told by coworkers he would drive the car around Washington NJ with his ladder tied to the roof and wing. There was also a crashed 1968 black 4 spd 426 Hemi charger in the garage .

The Super bird is a 440+6 4 spd Bucket seat council car. Still sports the original tires and wheels.

Down the road In Belvedere NJ. is 2 mercs. Mark Donohue and Dan Gurney Cyclones and a white Charger Daytona sitting in a barnyard with goats on the roofs . And a Taladega Torino sitting in the guys driveway. These are also all 4 spd cars.


33 Buttermilk bridge road, Washington NJ. You can see the Superbird on Google Maps. I was told buy a neighbor who comes to our shop that the owner has recently passed and the family will not sell anything the property is going up for auction. $550,000 was the high bid so far. Several acres of woods that are littered with Mopars at the back of the property that can be see from the RR tracks. I never walked the tracks but know guys that drive through on ATV's. he owns both sides of the road. 68-70 B-body heaven is what I was told. I personally laid close up eyes on the Superbird and the Charger. Charger looked drivable . Side swiped buried in the garage.
