rusty turd bucket 68 in north dakota

[cbrestorations]

oh wait...its really solid lol, north dakota has pretty decent cars actually. i was told they didnt salt the roads back in these cars hay day. picked up this gem yesterday, the rancher said ill only sell it if you take both chargers. i have to go back and get the other out of his other yard. i did see it and its an ok car. rails are good but needs rear sheet metal, was a minnesota car. the blue one on the other hand is solid, i could just drop and engine in it and have a ratty cruiser. its originally a 383 2bbl, f8 green, floor shift, black interior but was yanked and had a 440 placed in it. the guy drove it daily and raced it. said he ran a 12.80's. i was kinda hoping he would leave the hooker super comp headers in the trunk but he caught it and took them. so in my 3 weeks of working on my buddies mopars i spent twice as much as i made lol. charger parts, farmington swap meat goodies (my buddy won the free hemi raffle) and then i picked up 4 chargers. three 68's and one 69.

if only it was 100ft forward behind the barn doors i could call it a barn find...dammit

I really like these threads. Good job saving that '68, looks very clean.
I'm assuming the car was not visible from the road , or else it would already be gone.

[ACUDANUT]

WOW " I picked up 4 chargers. three 68's and one 69."  More pic's of the others please . 

[Kern Dog]

Way to go, CB. Good for you.

I only have pics of 3 of them, my phone died looking at the last one. One was the red 4 speed ravine find I post, a blue 69 that I'm just going to sell since I got this blue 68 now

[Kern Dog]

You can store them at my place. I have the room. I can fit 20 or more cars out of view here.

[ACUDANUT]

One of he of 4. ??
Can't wait for the others 

[VegasCharger]

i could just drop and engine in it and have a ratty cruiser.

I challenge you to do so you after you bring that blue 68 home.  Just drop any engine in there even if it's a 318. Get it running, road worthy, titled and registered. Then drive it thru the streets of Las Vegas terrorizing the neighborhoods with a loud exhaust.


Nice find Chris. 

I love that 68. 

This is now my p/c desktop wallpaper. Great pic capturing the sun.

Hell, the chrome bumper looks almost perfect.

I left it sitting at my buddies farm in North Dakota with the other chargers. I'll go back and get them in a few months

If Discover channel followed you around you'd have your own tv show.  It would sure be better than Graveyard Carz.  Another good score!!

[cbrestorations]

This car would be fun to leave alone and drop in a 5.7 single 76mm turbo in. Make 800hp and look like a bucket

[F8-4life]

Is that green in the jamb original? The paint almost looks like petty blue..its not 999 code is it?

[cbrestorations]

No its a green car originally

[VegasCharger]

Damn that 68 is near mint!!! 

How's the trunk floor?

[ACUDANUT]

How do you find these cars ?     You are one lucky dude.

[cbrestorations]

Not really, just word of mouth and lucky sometimes. Ude be suprised the stories you will here or whereabouts another car is when hauling a junk ass charger around the country lol. Plus Mopar friends give tips.  I'm headed to rawlings WY now to dig into that buried charger that was jumped in there. I gotta know the vin...

Anyone else find this topic title totally misleading? I've seen cars in a lot worse shape than this.

Trunk isn't all that bad, don't need to replace it. There's just a few pin holes in a few spots
