This is going to replace the super crusty 70 I bought not that long ago. So, sell off all the 69 specific parts, have the frame pulled and transfer everything from the 70

How about fixing them both and then acquiring a 68 for a complete collection? :popcrn: :popcrn:

Was a Y3 Cream car with black vinyl top and 383 2 barrel. Owner had this since the 80's. This is what he considered his parts car. In his shed he had a B5 blue 69 hemi charger, had a 383 4 barrel car next to it. Both were in nice original shape albeit with a coat of dust over them. He had shelving built against the walls that had rows of doors fenders and hoods. There were even 7 or 9 complete 69 grill assemblies. Throughout the shed there were also scattered sets of bucket seats, steering columns and various panels cut off of cars, such as quarters and innder fender wells and rear tail light panels. Also had a few dana 60's lying around. There were also  many complete big blocks. Everything was kind of scattered about the shed and very dusty. Other than the stuff on the shelf there was no order to the chaos, it was all over. Apparently he had another 69 stored somewhere else that was very solid. Oh, and I got to go up in the garage attached to his house, there he had many dashes, consoles and even a pair of NOS 70 quarter panels hanging from the rafters. There was also a complete Nascar hemi sitting on a stand. Apparently he parted many cars out during the 80's. He said that he never paid more than 200 for a parts car!

I was looking for a unibody for structural pieces for my 70 hulk, my dad asked a mopar person in a nearby town and gave me this guys number. I wanted to take pics of his stuff but didnt ask. He asked that we not tell anyone about his stuff. He said that he was going to sell the hemi car, Im sure that when he does it will be on ebay.

Of the four Chargers I have owned I bought my first three for $1,500 each time in 1971 (69) another in 1973 (69) another in 1975 (68). However my fourth Charger (68) I bought in 2003 was a tad more than $1,500................   :rofl:

Not as bad as I originally thought. The drivers front frame can be salvaged. The inner fender will have to be replaced obviously. Gonna need a frame pull and then the forward maybe six inches of that frame replaced as it is the only section that is really wrinkled. I am going to use the whole radiator support from the 70

I was meaning in the sellers nest. I have bought 2 now. Sold the 1st one as it needed alot of straightening and paid more $$ for a supposed NOS reprimed from surface rust. They forgot to mention they sandblasted both sides and had to putty both sides of the fender to get it straight and somewhat rigid.  :brickwall:

The only metal left to work on my 70 is the darn drivers side fender.

He did not, he was a 69 guy. He did part out one 70, it was an R/T. The parts he had left from it made me cringe. He parted it in the 80's when it was a running car. Didnt have much left from it though. If there would have been fenders I would have been all over them. My drivers fender is definately usable but is going to take some work to do so.
