How many Chargers have you scrapped?

[NMike]

 in the process of building my car, i have so far scrapped two cars ( both 69 ), and taken alot from a third one (68).

i am just wondering how many chargers have donated vital organs to keep other cars alive.

[Mike DC]

 
Are we counting cars that were already in commercial junkyards or not? 


That really colors the situation.   

Once they've been bought by commercial scrappers, those cars are generally never coming out again no matter what.  So I've been a lot more willing to hack on those cars over the years than I am with privately-owned Mopar hulks.

Keep up the good work. Mines worth at least $10 more thanks to you scrapping those two.  I haven't scrapped any yet but I've only owned two. I'm still a youngin (kinda).   The one that died was a 71 se with a 383/727.  The motor and trans went to a good home.

I personally wrecked one back in the 80's, but managed to save a few parts that a few members on this site have in their cars now.

I scrapped a 1970 in the early 80's after I had gotten some needed parts from it. I also contributed to the scrapping of a 1969 a couple of years ago. I took parts from it for my '68 & a friend of a friend cut up the rest for some sheet metal & frame rails he needed.

No Chargers but a '69 Plymouth Satellite Mod Top donated a lot of parts to my Charger R/T's resto. It was complete but unrestorable as it was rotted from front to back and top to bottom.

I think 3 total - I've personally sent to there final resting place- 2 of the 3  still sit there, the 69 R/T has been  a beer can many times over by now
1968 R/T
1969 R/T- LOADED option car- air, 6 way seat, and power windows.
1970 383 console auto

i have scrapped 4... one was a very badly burned 69 that still had a good tail panel and one door, the other was a turquoise 68 that has 100 bullet holes in it, no suspension, no rear end, no motor/trans.. but had some good interior. 3rd was the worst 68 R/T you've ever seen in your life. the tail panel fell off this car on the one hour trip home. never to be seen again. i took everything possible off of that car, except the power window regulators...    .. i gave them all to my buddy who scraps them, i couldn't personally take them there myself.. 4th was a 70 R/T i got for $300.. it was insane rough, but looking back, it was complete, and COULD have been restored.. it was hemi orange with black/black.. no motor.. that car had every single little piece dismantled from it, there was nothing left to crush, including bits of frame rail.. and before you guys think i killed a bunch of chargers.. lol.. i have had over 120, so do the math.. pretty low percentage..

Yea, Trav, that's not nearly as many as I might have thought. Me? I have scrapped 0. But then I've only owned three.

 I saved my R/T SE that was in a yard on it's way to be crushed, but i stripped two in other yards for the parts i needed, one was a '70 charger 500 for the 318 drivetrain the other was a '69 SE for the black Interior and various bits... both of those were hit hard & i doubt they survived.

[Highbanked Hauler]

  only one and I never saw so much rust on one car but I did save anything that was useable.

[ITSA426]

I have personally scrapped out 12 first generation Chargers but all were way beyond saving and I got most of the useables off them.  Many went to their final squashing in the bed of a pickup so when I scrap them they need to be scrapped.  Not one I would try to save - even now.  Well maybe one; a 383 four speed car that is now living in several other cars.

I helped a friend cut up a 69 in the late 90's....actually used a sawsall to cut the  tail light panel off in front of the marker lights....quarter panels did an ugly bow when it was off

Only part I got off that car was the rear speaker fader switch...

3rd gens  no great loss  LOL

[greenpigs]

Well I didn't buy a faded blue 68 383 2bbl for $500 as it was just beat to death with dings over EVERYTHING, but in hindsight it was mostly rust free.  The other was a green on green 69 383 magnum that was owned by an uncle but he said to pass as it was a rust bucket. As far as I know both were parted out so I sorta scrapped out two by not buying them.

[Chargerguy74]

Never scrapped any. I actually saved one from a wrecker before anymore of it went missing.

[69bronzeT5]

I've scrapped 0. Knowing me, I would of kept them even if they were screwed . I've gotten parts off people. One guy from Kamloops sold us parts...not sure what happened to the car they came off of.

[VPFD13]

I bought one that was smashed from the rear bumper to the rear of the door jam. I took every thing that was savable and junked the rest. It was a 70 B5 blue 440 R/T automatic. I used to drive by it all most every day and no one knew who owned it. ( It was in a parking lot of a apartment complex) One night on my way home I seen a tow truck hooking it so I stopped and asked where it was going. The driver told me the new property owner gave him 200.00 to get rid of it I gave him another 100.00 to take it to my house.

I've scrapped 3....a 71 R/T with only 4000 miles on the clock, a 69 I cut up in a junkyard in AZ, and a 68 I parted....I'll try to dig up some pics.

Oh Crap...make that 4...I forgot about my 73 SE SUNROOF car! I've got a couple of pics of that one as well.....

It's gonna be a while...I have to scan them, I don't have them in digital format yet. I have pics of the 71, might have some of the 68, I know I don't have any of the 69......But you can see some of the parts off that one on my 69....
