2nd Gen discovery

[bull]

According to the VIN, it's a 383 2bbl car, and I don't see anything that looks like a factory 4-speed floor, so I'm betting it was converted to a 4-speed. Lots of good parts, but unfortunately probably not saveable.

It's hard to tell by that picture whether it's got the hump or not. If the fender tag is still there that would help solve the mystery.

My r/t was found in much worse condition, and Im working on it. This car should be saved IMO. I wouldnt mind getting it if it was closer

[nh_mopar_fan]

I believe the car is in CT. Here is what else he had to say:

"I did find a couple 1966 Valiants, 1 1965 Barracuda,
Fenders
for a 65 Valiant/ Barracuda just sitting in the back of an old 1930's
pick up truck. A pair of 1967/1968 Barracuda coupes & many, many 1964/
1968 mustangs, some convertibles. Camaros & T-birds of all years.
Pontiac Tempests & GTOs.  Many cars from the 30's, 40's ,& 50's.  Some
in restorable condition...."

The VIN won't show whether it's a 4 spd or not. Someone should go out there and look for the fender tag and buildsheet.

Dude I am in CT where is it at???  Has anyone spoken for it??  If not send me the address.  I will go check it out

The passenger side quarter has a seem where the vinyl top trim goes. I've seen one other car like that before. A quarter panel replacement from many year ago?

It looks to me that it's the rotted remains of vinyl there, still stuck there from when someone snagged the piece of trim.
Poor Charger.

[nh_mopar_fan]

I've sent him mail to see if he can give me the location.

[JimShine]

I can get it if nobody has spoken for it yet. It would take a long time to go through, but I can atleast get it out of the elements and start working on it in my free time.

My dad is in CT, I am just up in Maine. I can make a weekend trip out of it and see my old man at the same time.

[squeakfinder]

I think you'll be everybody on this site's hero if you can pull it off Jim Shine. Good Luck!

Go for it Jim! That would be awesome. Even better if the tag indicates its a factory 4 spd car. I wonder if it's readable.

[JimShine]

Even if it isn't a stock 4 speed, it wouldn't change much in my eyes, but I guess it would be a nice bonus. Let me know what the status is.

Question from the guy that found the car:

"I'm going back to the Junk Yard next week to take more pictures & poke
around a little more. I want to see how bad the rust is, maybe look for
the broadcast sheet (I doubt its still there), and really see if it's
feasible to pull this car back from the dead.

Anything I should look for in particular on this model other than the
obvious?"

Someone has told him that he can get $1500 for it on Ebay..... 

[terrible one]

Lets hope it doesn't go on Ebay...if someone here could rescue it it would be cool.

I know this falls under "the obvious" but he should check for the fender tag and if it's there take a picture.

[JimShine]

Ugh, that sucks.

[SuBLimE 69]

That car has been sitting for a long time.  Up north too !  I'd be scared it would break in half trying to put her onto a trailer.....but I quess that would make it easier to fit in my garage !    I hate to see them rot like that, I hope some gets it and brings it back to life.

[mally69]

sombody restore this thing please yea its going to cost money but if you restore it correctly it will double that in a bout 10 years  hell any 68-70 charger price is doing nuthing but going up thats all it can do is go UP

parting it out in  my opinoin is just a waste yea youll get some fast cash but if it is RESTORED youll get ALOT more in the long run

[JimShine]

I am still interested, to save a Charger, not to make a buck. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but my cars are pure hobby.

Right on. Either way, it would be a cool car. Hope you can work something out Jim

[mally69]

go get it jimshine

[hemihead]

Looks like Crusher Bait!

[moparsinbarns]

Somebody NEEDS to go save this one. If I was u, just take a chain and a truck and drag it out of there, who cares if the owner notices if its gone. He probally wouldnt even care anyways.

[limey]

A couple of you guys should get together and pull it out....imagine what a fantastic thread saga that could be?

Or if everyone chipped in with parts and or time, it could be a board resto project...

Take plenty of video from day one, then sell it all to discovery channel....

I can just see it...

(voice over)
"one cold March, a four guys, representatives of a worldwide groupe of enthusiasts drove out to rescue a classic Mopar from beyond the grave...."

Just don't ask Chip Foose along for the ride....it would end up with a bodykit and bling rims with spinners...

[terrible one]

Any updates here? It definitly needs to be rescued...and then NOT Ebay'd
