buried jump car *update video

[cbrestorations]

So while I was in biaroil Wyoming pulling a 68 charger out of a ravine   a guy aproached me at a gas station with my new ravine saved charger and told me he knows where another 68 is that someone tried to jump a short ravine. Said it was only 5 min out of town so I followed him out into the country down a dirt road to the ravine and sure enough there was 68 charger sunk into the ground.  Supposedly someone tried jumping this stream and didn't make it. Just from what I can see the car is smashed up pretty good. On my return route from north Dakota in 2 weeks I'm gonna see if I can dig to the Vin. May be a hemi car...never know. It will eat me till I found out what it is lol

I would love to know also. Might be cool to save what's left as a conversation piece.

  ....  how long ago did the guy attempt the jump , does any one know ?

[cbrestorations]

The guy who showed me the car said it had been there for years before he knew about it. He assumed early 80's

Cool story Chris. 

One of these could come in handy for you.

Thats nuts! There is either a full or partial vin number (can't remember) stamped on the lip around the trunk opening. Might be easier than digging down to the dash.

Does Pot metal rot? That tail light housing may still be usable? 

Or likely there is literally nothing below what you see in the pic.

Dana 60 if we're playing the what-if game.

[polywideblock]

what happened to the driver ? still buried in the car ? 

[cbrestorations]

Here's the car I went for, it's actually really solid car with no rust in the floor, trunk, valance, back window, torsion support, rockers or frame rails. It's a 383 4bbl, 4 speed, 331 paint with white interior.

Another one of the 259 made in that configuration...?

How'd you find that thing- hours and hours of scanning google earth?

You can add one more to that color configuration list:

I have a rolled 383-2bbl., 4-speed version (1 of 74) in 331 exterior, white vinyl top, white with red inserts interior per the fender tag.  Wayne Wooten commented that the particular interior combo is very rare in 1968 Chargers, let alone a 383-2bbl., 4-speed combination.  It is rough (roll damage mostly to the top), but will be restored in due time by me.  It only had 30,000 miles on it when it was rolled onto its top by the original owner and placed in a back 40 section of his land to sit for many years.  I call it the Cornhusker Charger due to the color combo....

How strange it must have been to walk up on a '68 charger in that scenario...it's like seeing a disarable fossil.

[lee2]

That would be a fun find.
