Here is what $5000 buys you.

I think you did pretty good. My 7200.00 68 charger needed one rear frame rail a torsion bar cross member a full front floor pan trunk pan tail light panel rear valance both rear quarters both outer wheel houses and both front fenders and a rear deck lid. And I thought I did ok to own a 68 charger. Of coarse most of this I found after the fact. But after a year and a half I have it repaired primed blocked and ready to paint. One thing to remember there not making them anymore so saving them is the reward.

Nice score! Did any interior come with it? I see some bucket seats in the background, I know they can be pricey as they look similar to the ones for a 70 Dart Swinger.

Looks like a fun project, good luck!

The car comes with a non original bench seat. Those buckets are for a '70 Challenger. This car has an XH in the VIN, this meant it was the lowest priced 1970 model Charger. To reduce the price and make the car more cost competitive, they built these with bench seats, column shifts, no console, no tach, no tail panel trim and the biggest engine available was a 383 2 barrel with single exhaust.

My 70 XH Charger might have been born a plain jane, but not anymore.  You name it, it has it now.

You did well...especially since it came with a nice grill and some extra parts. A nice grille can bring $2k. Any numbers matching big block (even a 2 barrel 383 block) is worth something extra when selling. 318 or slant 6....nothing.

Thanks, Chris...The car DID look decent at a glance!
My other Charger was pretty solid too. I had a trusted buddy come along and he was able to spot an area with filler that I didn't notice. Funny thing, years later I noticed that the same quarter he pointed out ...had been either replaced or patched! HUh?
That catch you made on the rear window area....Nice work. The trunk would have filled with water every time he drove in the rain or washed the car. HACK work.

I was able to get the car home today.
Plenty of obstacles in the way though. 2 NON running cars, an engine block, tool boxes, piles of parts, etc...

[Kern Dog]

Yeah....

[Kern Dog]

Each car had to be pushed out. Good thing that they rolled easy.

1970 Challenger, no engine or trans. 1970 Charger, 440/727....Then mine, the turd.

[Kern Dog]

It is
O U T!  The car has been in his back yard since 1998. The tag on the license shows 1995!

Pulling into my place now:

[Kern Dog]

Floor pans inside are S O L I D !

[Kern Dog]

Trunk floor....
The sides are solid. The center is not. I figure that I could replace the pan to the inner channel of each frame rail and make it look right. This would allow me to slip the one piece patch panel into the trunk through the opening rather than having to do it in 2 sections.

[Kern Dog]

It came with a nice grille. Bumper has a dent in the left corner.

[Kern Dog]

RH fender is really nice. Left one is rough. I have a hood, valance and replacement fender aprons.

[VegasCharger]

Great score Greg! 

[smithenhiven]

Looking good, 

[dreamcatcher]

Great score. Save the bad fender at any cost. I didn't on my 68 and bought AMD replacements.  THEY DO NOT FIT!! I am in fender HELL. I so wish I would been able to save the originals. But they were just too far gone. Good luck and great score.
