Old Dukes car found in rubble.

I saw this in my Hot Rod mag for this month.
Neat to see how Chargers are still considered something not for sale at any price.  Not to many cars hold that title especially worn out beat up  ones.

That pic is about as believable as balloon boy crossing the Denver sky.

Reminds me of this guy locally who has had a fy1 70 r/t sitting(rotting) away in his back yard since around 88-89. My brother and I both asked him numerous times over the years about selling it. Got so the last time we asked around 02 he said he'd put it in his will to let us have first chance. About 3-4 years ago when prices were pretty much at the peak the owner told another guy we know that the rotten R/t was worth around 100k as it sat. 

I've never actually seen it in person cause he never wants to show anyone now. Brother saw it in 89-90 and it already had rotted 1/4's,floors,trunk,roof. I'm sure frame rails are toast by now. He thinks its worth all this money and won't even lift it up off the ground, nevermind putting it in his barn.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. 



I don't see any attempts to claim it's a real TV series car (it isn't). 

And I don't see any reason this can't be a real pic/story.

Thank you. That was the point, a interesting story about a 69 Charger is all it's saying.  It was just a blurb among other odd stories.  Again a great point about how loved 69 Chargers are.

It's not for sale at any price so lets throw it outside and pile crap on it and use it for a shelf   If it had sat somewhere that long there would be a ton of dust on it too.

Here's one thought:  if the building in which the car was stored had falling in, woundn't you remove all the crap off the car BEFORE moving it?   I see no evidence that there was a previously a building about where the car sits in the picture.  So to me, this suggests the car was moved THEN crap added for extra effect.  I'm saying that's a staged photo.

Heck, this may be a real car in barn story. However, the breathless write-up and staged photo suggest are meant to suggest that someone found a genuine GL in a barn ("not for sale at any price").  

That dog, as they say, don't hunt.

As far as shelves go, it's a pretty nice one. 

[Mike DC]

Imagine for a sec that the car is not a GL and it's not in a magazine blurb.  Maybe it's just an old Monaco or something. 

Would you guys still be so quick to call the story false? 





I just don't see what's so questionable here. 

It's an old Charger that's seeing the light of day for the first time in decades.  They often come out looking something like that.

Cool Find!!

haha! good one chuck!   (smartass)

For the record it doesn't say the building fell down around/on it. It could be believed that there was a bunch of crap piled on it like we've seen numerous times and they just pulled it out as such no?

[69bronzeT5]

There's a bobcat in the background that could be used for tearing down a building or something

Again thank you for the common sense.  This is almost funny.  Almost.

Hey guys,

              Could it be that is a stolen car? The thief had his fun years ago and ditched it in an old barn. Its not for sale at any price , because it cant be sold, its a stolen car    Or maybe like you said, it could be a scam. By saying its not for sale at any price only makes some people offer more $, some people think (everything has a price)

anyway, just a thought

Why is it that when something said, even typed in a mag, people always wonder off from what is really being said. It clearly says the building was falling in and being torn down which means they pulled the car out before it got damage  .  Maybe the person just doesn't want to sell it so that is why there for there is no price on it. When people read stuff for some reason they just start assuming things. When you read something, don't try to decode it just read it the way it is writen. 

Now, for the record, this car looks like one I saw in a mag back in 1998 to 1999 in a car mad and the place that had that car that I remember was Midwest Car Exchange. Those numbers on that car on here and the one I remember seeing in the mag back then look like the same numbers though.

I just don't see why people think it's fake/staged. That's why I mentioned the bobcat....the story about the building and stuff could tie together with the bobcat.

Ok then let's go by what the article states - The car has been in storage for 20 years.

[MoparManJim]

Yes, lets go by what the article states, because some of you all are jumping to the assuming opinion because the car isn't for sale at any cost. 

Where does it say it was stolen or could have been stolen at? To what I can see it doesn't state or even mentions that at all  .

When I said before about my on teh record about the other car I saw in a car mag a decade ago, I said the numbers look the same, I didn't say it was the same car both only the numbers look the same though. Let me see here  the tv show went off the air in 1986, this car set for 20 years, and it's 09 now would be it sat from 1989. 4 years after the show went off the air.
