[lastoasis]

R/T S/E 440 auto 77,000 miles and hasn't seen the light of day since 1983

[kingjoop]

great find! 

Have fun with it 

[bull]

That thing looks to be in pretty good shape. The rear corners are rotten for sure, how's the trunk, rear window, roof and lower quarters?

Helluva find! Nice combo.

[FJ6N96]

I really like the 70's R/T's with the door scoop.  SWEET

   good deal    ...congratulations     ...... 

[1969chargerrtse]

Wow, tht's truley a barn find.  Real nice complete looking car. 

[MoparSam]

Awesome, looks pretty solid and a good starting point.  When they're like that its easy to see what has been done to the body.  Was that a horse stable behind it?

[richard pettys 73]

yup, two stalls in the rear corner and a full second story....this barn was 3 cars wide and 4 cars deep with a concrete floor....I have some serious "barn envy" now.

[skip68]

   Yah buddy !    Nice score if the price was right.      The car looks real good and not too much work to do.

  I got my drivers lic. in 83  and bought my first charger in 84  1970 r/t top banana with blk top and stripe

[69charger2002]

8k is a good deal if it runs. i sold my last 70 R/T SE project on ebay last year it ran and drove but needed resto similar to yours, it was #'s matching, it went for $8600. always fun to find a "barn find"

     Cool.   

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Whats the plan, Restoration?

[skip68]

I was just going to ask the same question.   

[lastoasis]

Whats the plan, Restoration?

Probably, I have to accumulate some extra funds first.......What I really need is more room

[472 R/T SE]

Congrats on the find.  Looks like it was ordered similar to my old one with the blue interior and blue exterior.  The undercoating saved that car although it looks like one of your subframes may be soft. 

If you wonder over to the Registry, I'm sure Chris & Don will have some pix of what it'll look like done in those colors.

Again congrats. 

[grdprx]

Congrats, welcome to the table!     Looks sweet! 

[bull]

I have a question that's unrelated to this topic. What the hell is this bouncing white thing supposed to be?

[lastoasis]

the site won't let post anymore pics, just gives me an error message....gotta go now and thanks for all the kind words.

[Ghoste]

Curtis I think that's some sort of cheap relative of the stay pufft marshmallow man.

[RD]

congrats on the find! great looking charger there... i am jealous...

[Mefirst]

  Have fun with it...

[mikesbbody]

Nice to see there's still some out there! nice score! 

[Daytona R/T SE]

We need to see a better pic of that scissor jack in the trunk 

Looks an awful lot like a Daytona/Superbird jack

Nice find!  Blue on blue R/T.  Hard to beat that.  

Where was the car sitting for so long?  I see the Ohio plates, but it looks like the interior looks like it had been rather moist.  And the bumpers, valve covers, etc seem more corroded than normal for being in a barn that long.  Was it in a place with a lot of humidity?

I thought the same thing but I assumed it was an east coast car that had been driven on salty roads before being stored.

[tan top]

good pictures  found the broad cast sheet then    , might be another somewhere ..under front seats or behind the seat back 

[69*F5*SE]

It will definitely be interesting to see the transformation from before to after on that baby.

[Dodge Don]

I don't think that broadcast sheet is for your car. It is missing the A47 option. Check the VIN against yours.

you're right not mine.... if that car is in the 1970 registry I'll be glad to send to you or the owner

[rav440]

  great score  how did you find it ? ad in paper , CL , ect .? what is stamped on the M/T valve cover ?

A couple of options, send a scan of the sheet with your contact info so if the owner appears we can hook you up. Or mail in the actual sheet which we hold on file until we find the owner.

Also, when you register your car please note that you are looking for your sheet so if we have it or find it in the future we can hook you up.

lastoasis - real nice find.  Hey question for you.  Those GT Radials look like the original tires my '79 Magnum GT came with.  If you're not planning on reusing them and are interested in selling please e-mail me a jctplank@comcast.net  Thanks!

Jim

only one of them will hold air and all of them are "like new", but have really bad cracks on the sidewall. they have been on the car in the barn for about 26 years.

It was a NC car before being brought to Ohio. The barn is on the north side of a hill with tall trees that shade it. It is a cold damp barn.

It states the drivetrain was custom built by this shop in Akron for the previous owner.  His daughter and my daughter were roomates in college. We briefly talked about cars when we had lunch 7- 8 years ago. After he passed away his wife offered his cars to me first.  dumb luck

[moparstuart]

please get us a better picture of that jack 

[mopar73]

Fantastic find I have'nt seen an oil can and spout like that in years.
