That thick bodyside molding sure didn't help much, huh?
For this car to see the road again, you'd need another front stub. ANY 1970 B stub would work, right? I have one from a 1970 Belvedere, just in case I hurt my own Charger. I've been curious as to the value of the Stub. Mine is complete from the core support to the front door jamb.

looks like it was a sublime with no vinyl top  originally going by the  fender tag !!  base XH  charger too , whats the point in showing all them before pictures , should be showing  under hood , door gap & frame shots & stuff !!
sorry to say don't think its worth it  , thats a heavy hit  , not like its  U V or R code ,  not talking down  about lesser  models but  your going to do all that work  & its a base 318 XH column charger  , who knows what the rest of the body is like with them plastic  mouldings on ,  don't know what the crack with them is  but  , perhaps the dude working on body could not get the body lines straight  :shruggy: if thats as rust free as he says !! then think its a parts car  :Twocents:
  remember seeing pictures of that car wrecked  few years back  :scratchchin:

Depends on how bad the car is...you can see its going to need some panels replaced but you would need to really check things out and make sure the whole frame isnt a twisted mess.

That was hit HARD! It looks like the windshield isn't broken though...that may be a good sign that the a-pillar wasn't affected. In any case, it looks to be a HUGE project. As stated, you will need to look at it close and take some diagonal measurements to how bent it is. I wouldn't tackle it. :Twocents:

Thanks for the replys. Sad to see it go as a parts go but what can you do.
