 Its funny how the one picture says hate your wife in the background Awesome find by the way!!

[Ghoste]

That's the second thing I noticed as well.  What's your overall take on it's restorability Trav?

[69charger2002]

lol guys look at the last pic for the whole message.. people love that on the interstate when i'm pulling 3 chargers.. anywho it is very restorable. good frame rails 95% nice floors, but it needs all the typical stuff, including the back of the roof. i WISH i had taken a before pic before it came out of the woods. it has been on 55 gallon drums for 11 years.. i have known about it for about 6... the drums were collapsing from holding up the car for so long. if it had not been in the air it would be toast by now. i thought the fender tag was MIA. but by the time i had gotten home and the pine needles and leaves all came off the car on the interstate, there it was.. well most of it

The BarrelCharger - hmmmmm, that has a nice ring to it!   

This car looks just like the one I saw in NM a year or so ago.

[supserdave]

You payed 300, you'll flip for 3000 is my guess.

Oh the irony  

Looks like the discs were swapped for drums on the front???

Got the tag info as well?

Now once again, it looks like you'll have change the number of Chargers in "Chargerland" 

[UFO]

You mention 55 gallon drums I think of this car.
Not the same car but it is also an R/T S.E.

[69charger2002]

man what an unbelievable coincidence.. this one looked identical to that except it was amongst 50 pine trees. i wish i had taken some pics before i winched it on.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

I hope it is saved, can't save enough R/T SE's nowadays.

Sweet find.  How'd you locate this one?

[69charger2002]

i read your website the other night and then the magic started happening..    that was good reading fo sho
seriously i had seen it once before about 6 years ago. back then i really barely looked at it as it was such a basketcase i wasn't interested.. but i drove past the area where it would be the other day(it's 400 yards back in the woods, not visible).. and decided to call him up to see if he still had it/wanted to sell. 3 days later.. here she is

[RD]

cool.. that'll buff out

good find trav, it will hopefully lead to another back on the road.  you never did mention, did you get a title with it?

[Steve P.]

I know how you are Trav. Does my guess still count?? If I get it right do I get the car??

[69charger2002]

lol.. negatory on the title. i think people in louisiana ate titles as they are never around anymore.. and steve knowing you, you would hit it dead on what i paid for it. so NO DEAL!!

[bull]

Trav, I don't think of you as a flipper. You're more like an adoption agent/rescuer of abused Chargers. Anyway, good find.

Ok, well in that case I GUESS $10,000.00                    















Don't forget my cut..

Nice save!

Were all R/T SE's automatic Trans?

I'm glad I can be a cause for good, unlike the evil I normally cause.

good find Travis  , would like to see more pictures

Yep, that is the 69 RT/SE I bought off of ebay last year in Northeastern Kansas (missing VIN, but still has the fender tag to prove what it is).  It had been sitting like that for a long time after it was stripped down......

[Chad L. Magee]

Nice score on the RT/SE, Trav!  .......

[69bronzeT5]

Chad, what did you do with that car?? I remember you emailed me those pics of it along time ago and I remember reading the email when I was on vacation at my hotel in the "buisness centre (place with the comps.).

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Were all R/T SE's automatic Trans?

Out of the 150 RT/SE's I have in the registry, 28 are 4-speeds....so the answer is no

[hemi68charger]

Good going Trav... Another one saved.... Too bad I wasn't in a position to save it with you, I have a front clip in my garage attic...................

[Chad L. Magee]

It's sitting in storage right now.  I have a friend who wants it pretty badly, so I might end up trading it to him (His XP 69 was hit by a tornado years ago and needs too much to fix, the back half of the car is now gone)......

Trav-  Man, you have quite the luck finding rare Charger projects.  If you happen to come across the 70 500 SE /6, let me know.   ......

[BigBlackDodge]

He shoots...............he scores!

Same here.
Congrats Trav, another abused Charger rescued.

By the way Trav, you have a PM

admin@1969chargerregistry.com 

I was thinking the same thing.  Congrates, nice to see another rare car saved.  I would give anything to find something like that, but in the North East I think they're all gone.  I keep looking though.  Actually there's a Hemi charger (68or9) sitting in a warehouse 2 towns over I'm told.  The owners were a husband and wife team that raced it on the track at CT dragway  in the 70's, got divorced and neither will part with it.  So it sits hidden.

[nakita7]

And you paid?....

[69charger2002]

$500 big ones.

$500!?!?!?!?! . Hey Trav, did you get my PM?

no probs. Yea, I'd say thats cheap!

Hahahahahahahahahaha...........   $500.00 seems to be your magic number lately..  Somehow I thought since you had to pull it out of nowhere and off a bunch of 55 gallon drums, you would have pulled this one in a bit shorter..    BUT Trav, I would have owned it...   

[hemi-hampton]

I have a Question, If you did not want it before why did you want it now? LEON.

[69charger2002]

very easy. to make a rebody 
seriously the answer is not complicated.
1. to save it(throw me the dolphin comments all you want, but this is a legitimate reason)
2. to make a few bucks(anything wrong with that?)
that pretty much sums it up.. i am not gonna lie sitting behind a keyboard about it.. lol

[Steve P.]

You don't think all those nice Chargers he has CAME to him that way, do you??   

You absolutely should make some money on it. Why not?? Gotta pay for other parts and a place to live.... 

[Chris G.]

You got your hands full with that one Trav.  Nice save though. I know you won't keep it long, so let's hope the next guy doesn't part it out.
