Was cruising Ebay and came across this '68 on there. Apperentley an original 6 cylinder car. You don't see too many of those. Looks pretty screwed though after it's battle with the oak tree. :rotz:

SAD but the good news is................it's not 6 foot under yet!   :paintingpink:


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

This is why you don't leave classic cars out in the back 40 because we might someday restore it. Don't you just love white trash?

OMG Noooooooooooo!
What a rare car. We all know by looking at it, it was just gonna be a pile of rust anyway.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

:iagree:

I saw this the other day also and boiled my blood a bit. I wonder how many offers he turned down because he "was going to restore it someday"

Might have been better coming to Aus and converted to RHD  :icon_smile_big:
Make it idiot proof, and somebody will make a better idiot!

Hood hinges still worked, AMD to the rescue, but will probably end up at the scrap yard.  :rotz:.

Ebay ad says the tree fell over during a storm.
I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

Wait'll the Sierra Club hear about this.   :eyes:

It's interesting to me that letting it sit and rot for 30 years seems to be ok with these people but once a tree falls on it it's time for it to be sold. :image_294343:

The car was a basket case before the tree fell on it.  :eek2:

Maybe, but I bet he lost a good $5,000 in value during the 10 seconds it took for the tree to fall it.
