Is that a charger next to green (white one)? looks like a flush rear window.

My god you are right...I see a flush window!

I thought that too, at first but if you look closely at the far side of the glass you can make out the tunnel through the weeds.

  I can't see how anyone could ever dump a Charger, Cuda or Challenger and leave it to rot. These cars have always been the best looking cars on the road what compelled someone to stop loving them. 

I'm really fortunate with my car I think the previous owner of my Charger said he found it in the yard or saved it from going to the yard (think he told me he got it for $300 in 1983). He had three 1969 Chargers he really loved but I think he saw the 1968 and couldn't let it get destroyed or parted out.

I'd like to think if I had been born 10 to 20 years earlier I would have saved a lot of these cars. I have not liked a single car since the early 1970's (OK, Only exceptions are the Delorean and new Challenger).

I am shocked that in this day & age, these cars are simply sitting in a junkyard somewhere rotting away with each passing day.
Even IF they're "too far gone to restore", I see PLENTY of usable parts on those cars.
Very, VERY sad indeed.

A local Mopar Club should get together and  try to save a few of those cars before they end up new Hondas. I totaly Agree to what Bill440RT said...Its a total shame!!!

+1, that would be awesome...it would be cool if a handful of mopar clubs got together and purchased the cars, then all had a contest on who could build the best/coolest one...then have them all debut at the Nationals or Carlisle...kind of like biker buildoff but with chargers..lol

Crying over "rusted junk" is a helluva lot more interesting to me than why Tiger Woods crashed his SUV.

And the next time some one says the Dukes killed alot of chargers, they can look at this thread and then see that alot of charger that someone could have fix up before and saved left it set in the junkyard to go to waste  . Just think at how many yards over the country side has/had chargers like this that went to the crasher. And yet they talk about one show killing what 200 and something  . I bet if you count all the juckyards that has 2nd gen chargers in them that no one cares about, the number will probably past the Dukes number of cars easy.

I think it will be a sad day when people DON'T mourn the loss of these old mopars when they see them in a junkyard rusting away. That will mean that nobody cares about old cars anymore. 
I hope that future generations do cry over this rusted junk, for the survival of the hobby. I hope that there will always be passion in people to restore these old mopars.

My 10 & 15yo don't think there rusted junk. Even at their ages, they wish someone could restore all the old muscle cars in the junk yards.
