Just want to thank you for all the 68-1970 Dodge Charger videos wealth of information btw I’m sure you know they made 69,000 dodge chargers in 1969 so keep on rescuing those diamonds in the rough and hopefully I’ll have one one day myself but now thanks to your videos I know what to look for when buying one of these 51 year old beauty’s
More of these barnfind stories are coming up as the folks that have owned these cars are "moving on"...it is bitter sweet...at least they held on to their dreams by owning these cool, old cars...Now they can become the dreams of the new owners...
It just to bad so many are to far gone to save and they just wouldn’t sell them while they were still savable instead the idiots just let them fall apart you see it time after time. In their twisted mind they will fix them even after 10 to 40 yrs later and hardly any ever do. It makes you sick.
@@ratj4715 They still demand a very high price in horrible condition. It seems there are people out there that will pay anything for these basket cases.
Rick Allen many don’t understand what their getting themselves into the money your talking to fix one of these car is unreal unless you can do the work like he can. You could go broke and still not have what you wanted. If you got to do the work these cars need watch out. You be better to spend some more money up front. It not a cheap hobby that for sure. I understand it because they are beautiful cars . But yeah you got to be careful on what you buy.
You can tell that one owner loved that Charger .In 50 years he bought 2 cans of primer paint , 4 mag wheels with white wall tires and changed the oil every 30k miles .The engine so clean you can hardly see it !
Those are original charger paint chips, more like $2500. Some rich dude will sprinkle them in his five thousand dollar paint job and then park it in his garage with his 40 other garage queens.
A friend of mine from years ago in NW Indiana had a 68 and a 69 charger.His nick name was Mo....as in Mopar.Anyway..when i met him.....he had the 69 charger which had a 440 from a New Yorker.....that he mated with better heads....and intake.In about 1979 he and his brother in law attended a wedding in D/T Chicago.He made it back to the Indiana state line in about 5 minutes at about 3 a.m. Sunday morning....with the pedal to the floor doing about 150+ the speedo was pegged to the right....and he didn't tell anyone that the front tires were bald.....lol....RIP Ken Zajac...aka Mo.
Me and my buddy went to Long Island today to look at a 1976 Ford Gran Torino Wagon, mice had gotten I and pissed all over it, the whole cowl was rotted out from the mouse piss and it let all the water run into the cabin and rot the floors. It was in a driveway in a nice neighborhood, the point is that it’s amazing to find a car that is any way usable
Hi Chriss it’s great you save these great car’s. And give them a new life. And use them. I live in England can’t afford one . But if I come in to some cash . It will be the first car on the list. Keep up good work mate
Great find Chris! I have a one owner 68 Coronet RT black on black that needs some rear work here in Cartersville, GA. I really wished I could get you to do the sheet metal work on it. You do great work. I was interesting that you were here with the Roadkill crew.
Been following you for a while sir, and I really appreciate your skill. I'm working on a 67 Coronet 500 Convertible 4bbl car right now. Spot weld tips on here saved me hrs......
I don't know, I see a nice car finished but getting it across that line is real spendy and they are not getting the high money they used to... on the other hand, your young and if it was in nice shape in another ten or more years just might get back to the high dollar again.
@@0004612 Back to reality ? What price tags are you looking at ? A descent 69 SE in my neighborhood just sold for $50,000. I rarely ever see them below Fat money.
The trunk has a handy escape hatch. You could make a trap door so that when you are transporting moonshine and the cops are after you, open her up and drop the shine. If the cops don't get a flat and catch you, the evidence is still gone...
Glad to see that car saved.. makes me sick how there are so many people who want one of these.. and you have people who won't part with one that is sitting outside rotting away year after year.. I just don't understand it.. I wonder how you found this one.. you do amazing work on these mopars.. great channel..
I once rescued a 69 Charger apx, late 1980's or so an it was sitting in a hog lot on an old farmers property,,, wen i stopped to inquire bout it an walked out to the hog lot they wer rubbing up against it to scratch their sides,,, i made a deal with the owner to buy it for $100 an wen we pulled it out of its death location mud half way up on the wheels the dual exhahst was still laying in the ground,,, but to my suprise after getting it home thanks to Cryslers undercouting prosedure the sub frame an floor boards wer still in decent shape,,, there was no engine but i had an ole oversize 318 from a derby car i had ran an stuuffed it into the ole gurl an built my own drivshaft an off we went down the road,,, (no seats no carpet no brakes no gas tank,,, just a gas can fuelcell,,, LoL,,!!) "Yee-Haw,,!!" Long live General Lee,,!! Just thot id share,,,!! Hope u enjoyed my story,,!! "Rich"
In 1981 that car was today’s equivalent of a 2008 Chevy cobalt.....nuthin special....just an old beater.....I remember my uncle had a ‘68 r/t in the mid eighties.....,he drove it cuz it was all he could afford.....we shot the hell out of it with a 12 gauge when he was finished with it.....I kept the r/t emblem from the grille.....I still have it.....if only we could turn back time
freedoms not free freedoms not free lol......I grew up around these cars.....you could buy one for a song on any day.....in they late 70’s-mid eighties these cars were gas guzzling dinosaurs and only young guys who wanted something they could drag race around the strip cared about them....maybe there were people who knew their value as being a nice car but never in their wildest dreams realized what the monetary value would turn out to be..
I know that you probably paid a premium for that thing, but there is no way I would pay above 5k for that thing. The going price for these are mind blowing.
hey Chris welcome to my part of the world. I just picked up a68 Camaro there been sitting for 19 yrs. any it's as dirty as the charger. except mines a complete car. got it started and moved on it's own power. it's all your fault. you inspired me.
Always great videos Chris. Now the big question, how do you reduce or eliminate the wing window vent area "wind noise" for these B bodies??? Any help would be great
MARK MY WORDS! I'M GOING TO FIND ONE!!!!!!! I think I would more than likely find one down south because I heard from a car guy who lived where I lived in the 60s that Mopars were really bad to rust so Ford and Chevy ruled the roads.
It's a AC car too did you find the stuff for the AC like the compressor and that because looking for that stuff is getting hard to come by and you should of took that trans if it was matching # to the car. even finding a 69 date code trans are getting hard to come by too that thing was worth grabbing
Do you happen to know what the build date of that car is from the fender tag? I’m wandering because I saw the papers for the order arrival being 9/24/69 and I saw the sequence number being so high. My dads is similar with a build date of 9/10/69 and it’s sequence number is 40019. I’m just curious how close they are to maybe answer some questions. Thank you
Wow Chris Thats how you want to find a Charger.. I think Keep rare cool car love that colour!! Amazing that the Engine Blew in 81. And it just sit there you would say the Owner could by or fix the Engine.. over time.. I guess not..? Makes it special
There was a 1970-1974 cuda or barracuda sitting inside a barn next to hwy 49 between Gulport and Saucier MS, I rode past a few weeks ago and it was gone, looks like the land was sold and the buildings were being taken down.
I do and don't understand why people loved these cars to death. Why not let these cars live on before they turn to dust just letting them rot is not showing much respect.
Never mind smelling from your end, I can smell n taste it this side of the pond. When Enzo Ferrari said that the Jaguar E-Type was the most beautiful car in the world, that was before there was a Charger R/T HEMI or plain!
This is why I don't watch this guy's content... Him and the MacFarland or whatever guy's name(I otherwise refuse to mention)... It's clear they have money, I mean the guy had like 30 chargers)and it's not realistic for someone like me(or most of us)... I'll stick to Uncle Tony thank you
Why does that car remind my of my blue Dodge Monaco? Had the car up to 120 mph on straight country highway. Nobody around for miles. That car could go! But it didn't have the guts of my Lincoln.
Can you show us a car that you've finished this isnt patina? haha. Love the channel mate. Wish we got these in Australia. Only seen a handful in my life.
