As someone who worked as a bodyman, I wouldn't even dream trying to 'restore' that car because you would have more time and money invested than the car is worth imho...

1968 CHARGER R/T CLONELOOKING FOR ANOTHER PROJECT 69-70 CHARGER SHELL

there might be some good parts in it for some of us.

I see a maybe usable roof, upper part of the rear quarters might be good for repair of an accident car.
Save as much trim as you can, keep the doors (they look usable), maybe even a rad support or stuff like that.

Who knows when you could help out a fellow member here with OEM body parts.....

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

Some cars have to die to make parts for others.

I could use a piece on the driver's side where the door hinge's mount to. Mine is rusty but I have very limited cash right now.

But I agree with almost everybody else, its a goner. Part her out. Btw, could I please use the pics for my site Forgotten Mopars?

I cut up 70 charger about two years ago in about the same condition and got tore up one side and down the other by some mopar "purists" :-\

My very first instinct was to cut it up and use/sell the partsĀ  :yesnod:

Just thought I would do a little :poke:

OK guys off to work and time to kill a charger :'( :'( :'(

You've obviously done this before.  Smart man doing the dissecting on a trailer.

You made the right choice.  Unless there's some kind of sentimental value, you're better off doing what you're doing.  :Twocents: 

leeandgrant

Yes, this is the third mopar i have cut up. :rotz: :'(

I have found it easier to cut them up on a trailer. My junk trailer sits next to it and the rusted metal items get tossed in there as I go. That way I do not have to rehandle it to take it to the junk yard. They just drop the magnet in the and clean it out.

I will cut the sheet metal away from the drivetrain and back the trailer into the building and lift the engine off the trailer.

Man, that makes me sound lazy..... :-\
