Wrecked '68 Charger on Copart

[694spdRT]

Anyone from the New York area recognize this one? It is at the Newburgh facility and it is a factory 383 2bbl car from the Vin#. 

Hopefully, it will get saved.

A few more and sorry if this has already been posted before.

I have not seen that one myself.  Lots of work but hey they all are.  Or one heck of a parts car.....

Never heard of Copart, but there is a price of $16,000 for that POS.

Copart is an insurance auction disposal company. The $16,000 is the actual cash value of the car before the collision. The repair cost is listed at $12,000 and the current bid is $1,250. I am pretty sure you need to be a dealer or body shop to buy from them.

[mustanghater]

thats kinf of like www.ridesafely.com , Why do you have to pay to look at those cars?

[Mike DC]

    
Looks like sombody guardrailed it or something against a side wall.  Went in on the front corner, and then the rear corner hit as the front end bounced back off.  And judging by the height of the front end, the drivetrain's already gone.


Now let's wait and see if HLPAG turns up pushing a new '68 General Lee that's only photographed from the right side . . .

Yes, Copart handles the disposal of most total losses for insurance companies. There a bunch here in NJ as well, I work for an insurance company & used to visit one here called Car Tech. They had a bunch of totalled Prowlers & some Ferrari's.

It's gonna cost more than $12,000 to fix that one. Maybe $12000 in parts alone, or more. I'm thinking that one is gonna be marked as  a parts car, what a shame. For $1250, that's still good for that one. Lotsa good parts there.

wow, that one looks nasty.

You dont have to be dealer or body shop to buy from them, But you do have to register if you want to bid/win a car and pay a fee. You can simlply ask a friend that has registered with them to bid for you and win it for you

[Silver R/T]

If you can find donor parts car and can do bodywork yourself it wont cost you much to fix it yourself

This may vary from state to state. In Wisconsin you have to be a licensed dealer because we were members and they required proof of license every year at renewal time. I had heard that some states were not as strict on this but, I don't know which ones.

Silver, take a good hard look at that car. Study it for a while. Really look at those pictures. With the exception of the roof, every exterior panel on that car is damaged, most beyond any means of repair. The inner structure is also toasted in the impact areas, & has likely travelled into the floor areas, especially the rear. It's gonzo. This isn't just a matter of "doing bodywork."
"If you can find a donor parts car", I'd suggest using this one as the parts car for the parts car. There's AT LEAST $12,000 in parts alone on that car that are damaged.

Depending on the salvage company, you at least have to be registered to be a bidder. Some here require you to have a dealer's license.

[Brock Samson]

that's a crying shame.. 

Some one kept her up nice... another keeper out to pasture. i wonder if a Tarcel got in the same wreak what it would look like?.
  Silver, you are so funny! 

[alenglish]

rear end damage looks like mine  from  1974.  I got hit  by a guy  doing 65,  I was stopped at a red light.
Mine didn't have any front end damage till my buddy  bought it from me  and rolled it racing  in 1975.
It sat in the front row  of a junk yard in Darian NY  for years,,but that lot is gone now, closed somewhere in the 80's

unless you have a very, very strong attatchment to this car, parts car!

[John G]

It would be great if someone could get the vin #. A record could be kept as to the remaining number of these cars as there were only 74 383 2bbl 4 speed made. I guess the 4 speed was pulled as it looks like a automatic is in there.

[DodgeChargerNeeded]

To buy from Copart you have to have a dealer license or salvage license to register and they are very strict and have very high buyer fees.

Where did you see it was a 4 speed car? It looks like an automatic brake pedal to me.

Was that the Charger a few months ago that was hit by a truck?  There were pictures of the car being hauled in a trialer when some other truck hit the trailer.  If my memory serves me right the Charger was on the way to the new owner when the accident happened.

Thanks for the compliment.  They are 15x8.5's.  I'm running 245/60's all the way around.  I have 15x7 on the front.

[mikepmcs]

Sweet, i got 245/60 all the way too, i just wanted to make sure that tire would fit on the 2 15x8.5 vectors i just ordered today.  need to get rid of those adapters in the back.  you know what i'm talking about!!

Are they the new Vectors?  I take it the two wheels you're getting are for the rear, because the NEW 15x8.5's  will not fit on the front of your Charger without spacers, so either get spacers or stick with the 15x7's on the front.

[mikepmcs]

yes sir, just the rear, i'm happy with the front at 15x7.
thanks for the info though, i didn't know that.  you

wasn't that a 70?

[694spdRT]

I can't remember if it was a '69 or '70 that was on that trailer but, it wasn't a '68.

[Khyron]

my heart just damn near stopped. That looked like derailed's charger.

but then I just saw it yesterday with a new headliner. So it's not.

hey, you can use the....

ummm, maybe you can salvage the....

but the... ummm...

how about reusing the....

poor girl :cry:

[mikepmcs]

does that say charger 500 on the tail panel.   

[694spdRT]

Yes it is a 500. Although a '70 500 is nice property and it is a shame any Charger gets wrecked they are basically a standard Charger. The '69 500's are much more rare.

[mikepmcs]

Phew, then i won't cry too bad cause my first car was a 1970 Charger 500, 23 years ago, who am i kiddin' i'm still cryin'

[ChargerAndy]

If that baby still has the jack its totally worth the $1250.00       It's sad to see one wrecked, but I guess the value of mine just went up a couple bucks    

[mikepmcs]

I need those reverse light lenses, anybody got one?
I just got a reverse light(junk on ebay, lens was cracked at the top) but i thought the lens would work...NOT!  It's a roadrunner lens i think, it has an r in the part number where mine has a c, i'm guessing here.  does anyone need a driver lens and housing(my charger lens with a crack and the housing), i'll give it to you just give me an address.
