Possible derelict Charger project?

[Boberto]

Hi Guys, very new to all this so go easy 

I'm in the U.K and do quite a lot of work out in rural areas and one of my jobs takes me past an old barn where the below picture is. To me it looks like a 69 Charger and I want, very badly, for a project. I love these cars but the thing is I am about as novice as it comes so I am unsure if I'd be biting off a bit more than I can chew especially being in the U.K. I am an the verge of making the landowners an offer though and have had a little look at the car, white interior looks good, the bodywork is in good nick as well with a bit of rust on the wheel arches and some patching up jobs. Although I haven't looked at it in detail yet I'm just trying to guage opinion as to whether I should snatch it up (good price?) or save myself the torment, though I will not be a happy boy leaving it where it is.

All advice/comments gratefully received! 

I'll try and get another pic up when I go past again

Cheers!

Bob.

Told you I was a novice  

welcome bob , i'm sure a third gen expert will chime in with prices , good news is parts are cheaper for them ,  and its a great looking car with the hideaway headlight there .

hello & welcome Bob , yep Stuart is right   third generation

i'm no expert  !!    but possibly a 71 SE

Actually, it's a 1971 Dodge Charger SE. Which is a FANTASTIC project car!

Attached are pics of a similar car...fixed up a bit!

Last one is actually a 1972...very close.

[Boberto]

Oh Lord have mercy, I'm going to have to make this car mine I think. 

Many thanks for the welcome and suggestions, after having a look at the pics, definately a '71 SE.

Ballpark restoration costs for something like that? or is that the proverbial "how long is a piece of string" question?

[twodko]

Without question Bob! By the by, welcome to the best Charger site known to exist. If you have the cash the string will be short. If you're like the rest of us, you'll be restoring the car a length of string at a time. Done let that car get away my friend, abscond with it toot sweet!

that would be an exciting project for you. I'm guessing not many over there. would be interesting to hear how it ended up in the UK. good luck, and i hope you get it.

[ACUDANUT]

Yep, a 1971 for sure.

[JPL]

Yup, '71, here's mine, a lot of fun!

[ACUDANUT]
