[Ghoste]

An oem level rebody, sorry,  "restoration",  that just set a record at auction?

[Nwcharger]

This was a low milage hemi car.

[green69rt]

I can tell by the gas line that it is a Black on black 71 Hemi RR with bench seats, 8 Track, rear defrost and tinted windows.  I couldn't tell what tranny.  I'll take it!!

Not a road runner.

dont think thats a 68/9 charger  , although it sort of looks like a 68/69 charger bumper bracket

No, no, they always do the paint. It's everything beneath the paint that needs work.

[daveco]

This was a low milage hemi car.

And will be again??

[A383Wing]

wonder how many buffing pads this one's gonna take to make it shine again?   

[daveco]

So how exactly did it acquire the configuration in the photo.

[Ghoste]

And are you ever going to tell us what kind of Hemi car it was and how it got crumpled?

[Nwcharger]

It's a hemi Cuda 4 speed. 70 or 71 i forgot. It had 4-5 thousand miles on it when parked. Story go's, the owner bought the car new. In the 4-5k miles he burnt up the clutch. After removing the motor/transmission another project needed the garage space so the owner pushed the car out of the garage and into the lot across the street (which he owned) here the car sat for years. I don't want to give the location but the guy lived very close to the coast here in oregon. As the car started to fall apart the owner would simply pick the parts up and toss them on top of the car. It's a sad story for such a cool car. My neighbor has the motor and trans from it but will never sell it.

[Ghoste]

And is it one of those cars where the title survived and got sold off?  (please say no)

[Nwcharger]

I don't really know. My neighbor told me he got a phone call a year or 2 ago from someone he's doesn't know asking about the motor/trans wanting to buy it but he will never sell So maybe. He has the vin recorded. Thinking on it I'm pretty sure it's a 71.

[Ghoste]

It sure is a sad tale huh? 

[bull]

guess what kind of rare mopar this is...

You mean was.

As long as the VIN plate survived some scumbag will make it whole again.

[djcarguy]

     this cuda was totally rusted away 20 years ago. the hemi 4spd were like new in the guys garage with just a few k miles .    the car body was pushed out under trees a stones throw from high tide, salt air 24 /7.  i saw lots of pixs about 20 yrs ago at a friends body shop. once the lose parts were loaded it looked like a VW floor pan with  aluminum mags and tires it was rusted down with no body panels left standing not even firewall.



YES THE HEMI AND TAGS DID SURVIVE AND WERE BEING OFFERED FOR SALE BOUT 20 YRS AGO. That is my best recall may remember more later.DJcarguy,the body shop was here in springfield ,oregon where i saw pixs,car was from oregon coast,north ern half??

[Indygenerallee]

DJ that makes more sense, I have never seen a car rust that bad even if it has been sitting outside for 30 years, but if it was even close to the tide I can see why.

[Nwcharger]

It's a picture of a picture so its not very good and hard to tell but just past the tree line is the ocean.

[JB400]

Ashes to ashes and rust to dust

[Cooter]

Hmmmm, The DMCL Charger after the train 'incident'...

[billfury]

Was this the HEMI Cuda on EBay that the owner was selling a left side door & cowl only for some ridiculous money?

[Ghoste]

So what is the mysterious VIN?

[maxwellwedge]

A have a pic of a similar mangled Hemi-Cuda that belongs to a friend in AZ. Sitting on top of a pile of other Mopars for decades.
