Posted the fender tag in another thread:  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,10686.0.html

Towards the center in the distance you can just make out the tail end of a '69 Charger sticking up in the air. 

And you thought 'HOUND's had poor eyesight....LOL. :scope:

Getting closer you can make out the outline of the Charger..........

And the trees in the way I get to handsaw down.  ::)

Cleared some brush and moved a little bit of junk to get a shot at backing the trailer up to it...............

The car was in the junkyard due to a rear-end collision.  Car was saved from crusher, but years ago a bulldozer with the pipeline company  :flame:  shoved this Charger over a mound of dirt (ruined the doors and fenders  :flame:), and over a pile of rear ends..........

Thorn trees protected the front end somewhat from thieves, but made my job miserable.  Vandals broke out the windows  :flame:. 

Surprisingly the vacuum can is still there (I needed that :icon_smile_cool:), with many of the lines still present.

You can see the loose rear end with a tire still on it against the driver's side fender....................

Ready to load.  The loose rear end pile made it a nightmare to get the car up and over them, as they would hang up on the underside of the car.  That, and cause the car to not stay straight.

Knew those 67 Chebby Impalas were good for something  :icon_smile_big:  :devil: ...................LOL................

Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

I agree, nice find! Was it a freebie & you were just doing your bit to help clean up the neighborhood? :icon_smile_big:

Looks like the original paint...black, with a blue interior? That's cool.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
