F.O.R.D. ?

[TripleBlackGator]

Saw this sight this morning along the freeway. I have been carrying my camera with me a lot lately and every so often it comes in handy.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Cool! I hope its not abandoned.

[70charger_boy]

I wonder if people take pictures of my charger when it's found on the road dead.  I'm a real lousy mechanic and my car has been stranded at least 6 times in the past 3 weeks.  I hate walking

[Silver R/T]

cool find

[dukeboy_318]

got a tow truck, thatd be one heck of a car.  if its still there next time, its an abandoned car and its yours lol  

[70charginglizard]

I would Never leave my charger on the side of the road. No matter what. No way no how. I never leave home on a trip with it without full towage coverage and a cell phone. Bare minimum.

I put money on it that his fuel pump went out.

Happen to me a number of times out on the freeways.

How do you know the driver isn't in the woods relieving himself?

To test this theory, just open the hood & start removing parts.

J/K!!

[moparsons]

I would think he would shake it off and come running if someone stopped to take pics.

A friend of mine saw that car today , too. He called and was telling me about it. He wanted to know if I knew whose car it was.

Is it still there?

Lookit the leveling of the rearend of the car versus the back window area & the roof.  It looks off-kilter to me.

(Not how the car is resting on the suspension, but rather how the car's unibody itself is shaped.)

The road looks like it kinda has a couple different levels to it and the passenger side of the car is on the "lower level" of it.

[The70RT]

Did you steal his licence plate? It kills me when people blank the tag out when a car is on the street. What about at the cars shows?

[TripleBlackGator]

I also saw this yesterday at a local restaurant. Nice, but not a big fan of the wheels.

No, I'm talking about the car's unibody structure itself.  This has nothing to do with how the car is sitting on the road surface, or the tires, or the suspension. 



Look at the horizontal bottom edge of the rear window, and then look at all the horizontal lines on the back end of the car.  The "horizontal" lines are visibly out of parallel with each other between the roof/back window versus the whole rear end of the car:

[70charger_boy]

Wow, that looks like a serious rear suspension problem

[Dave22443]

I bet he forgot to pack a spare ballist resister   

[Mike DC]

   
This is what I'm talking about.  Photoshopped exaggeration of the issue.

It ain't no tire, suspension, or road surface problem:

[71ChallengeHer]

The Charger is in PA.

[70charger_boy]

Is that RT 30?

[gers1968rt]

its an optical illusion. the back seat isn't installed correctly, the missing window trim doesn't help either, the car looks good to me.

[Old Moparz]

The Charger is in PA.

Is that RT 30?

No, it's 37 because the car is a 1970 & it's not an RT, it's a 500.   

[41husk]

I think it is the back seat I have a pic of my 68 before I got the back seat installed correctly and it looked something like that.  Still, I can see a guy having an emergency that needed the car to be left for a short amount of time, but I would not let any of mine sit on the side of the road for longer than it would take to have it towed somewere.

[Bob]

No, it's 37 because the car is a 1970 & it's not an RT, it's a 500.   

I meant route 30 highway. 

[TripleBlackGator]

Holy Jesus! Out of parallel? Pick. Pick. Pick.

[Mike DC]

 
When your own Charger got whacked in the rearend and had to be pulled back straight, you get sensitive to this stuff. 

 

[JMF]

Yeah I think it's the rear parcel shelf that is giving it that illusion, if you squint your eyes that's the bit that stands out

[71ChallengeHer]

It's on 263.

[Mike DC]

 
It's not much, but I still think the car's bent.  It shows most at the rear window/dutchman versus the trunklid lip. 

When I was fixing my own car, I went out and looked at the rearends of enough original Chargers to know that they didn't get built that far out of tolerance from the factory. 

 

[Dave22443]

I was looking at the rear bumper.   Its higher on one side than the other.

I saw that too

I think we´re right

Look at the gap between the top of the bumper at the ends and the quarter panel end caps.  It looks like the gap is wider on the drivers side. 

Now I need to go look at my own car to make sure I did my metal work correctly.

Sorry no, but oh so close. What do we have for our departing contestant Johnny? 

[JMF]

You can see his headliner is hanging down as well so the interior is probably a mess, the parcel shelf is crooked

Yep & it's missing the right half of the window trim, mis-matched rims, headlight doors don't shut...I bet the console is even cracked.

[JMF]

I reckon it leaks rain too, in the footwells and in the trunk, oh and I think he has a power steering leak and the timing's out

[The70RT]

And it's red.................but hey it's a Charger.
