my first car was a 68 charger. after high school i went in the service (air force). after basic i went to get my charger and the transmission was slipping. needed a car quick, so i traded it off at a car lot. have no idea where it went, or who got it.

[Daytona R/T SE]

Sold my '72 SE in '87 or 88 to a dumbass that wrecked it a few weeks later...

When I saw it the driver's side of the back bumper and quarter panel was smashed in and the trunklid was held shut with a bungee cord...

OK...shit happens I guess...

When I asked him what happened, he got very defensive and said "I can't help it if that dumb bitch in the jeep pulled out behind me!"

Uh... Say WHAT??

Yeah, I was on this country road and I missed the driveway I wanted to turn into, so...

I slammed it in reverse and floored it and some dumb bitch in a jeep pulled out behind me and hit me!

I couldn't HELP IT !!

OK, whatever...Dumbass!


If anybody has a Petty blue 72 SE 318 car with a transplated 440 and heavy damage to the left rear...

Let me know...

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

1968 Charger, sold in the fall of 1991 for $3,000  Guy who bought it, called after getting it home - snapped a shackle or spring in his driveway, had to wedge a 2x4 to "lift" the car enough to "drive" it into his garage 

[paironines]

Sold my first Charger, a 70 500, in about 97 or 98 to a kid and his father near Ft. Wayne, IN. It was a  318 car with a 360, white interior with one black bucket, non AC, non vinyl top, light green car with faded red oxide primer all over. I would love too see it again. Let me know if it rings any bells.

[Todd Wilson]

[ChgrSteve67]

still got mine too

purchased in 1985

[elanmars]

Sold my 1973 to a gijoe, dude called me from Iraq telling me he saw my car on craigslist and wanted to check it out as soon as he came back to town...he did, barely drove it a block and was like "DEAL!"

I had kept up on facebook but he must have deleted it...last I saw, he was trying to sell the car for a LOT more than he bought it for...but for a 3rd gen Charger, that was a dreamer price.

I do wonder what happened, if he did manage to sell it, for how much, to whom, where the car is, etc...

[Fred]

I'm never selling mine if I can help it. It took me too long to get.

Too much blood sweat and tears not to mention $$$$$$$ went into it to get it where it is today.

[tan top]

 got mine april 89  , never going to sell

I don't remember the kid's name that I sold Sinnamon to back in 81.   But he sold it a few weeks later to the dude I bought it back from 3 years ago.

I've said that I'll live in my car if I have to.  That backseat is even more accommodating with new padding and a seat cover...

[bill440rt]

First & only Charger I ever sold was a '77 Charger that was my daily driver. I think this was back in the very early '90's. Can't even remember who I sold it to, probably ended up in a demo or an enduro race eventually.
I've kept all the others. 

[Ghoste]

Southwestern Ontario in 1987 to a young dude whose father was less than thrilled.  (had the father only known how unthrilled I was with the idea myself)

[68coronetGLwannabe]

Sold my 4spd 413 70 Charger GL in 2008 to a Guy in Tucson AZ. I have never heard from the guy or seen the car again. A friend of mine said he saw it at a car show once. The guy tried to tell him it was all trashed when he bought it and that he built it. My friend told him nice try but I know who built this car. 

[GOTWING]

After 4 years of ownership by 1988 I sold my first car, 73 Charger S/E to a 16 year old whose parents bought it for his first car, they lived in MD. The car was like new when I sold it, was still a beautiful original survivor, well you guessed it he trashed it, long story short I tracked it down and bought it back last summer after it changed hands about 4 more times, someone painted it limelight and color keyed the bumpers. It's a 50 footer, and needs restored but it runs well with a nice built 340 ( was orig. 318 car ).My plans are to have it restored it back to the pale green it was and install a 69 h.p.TNT 440 that i have had since 1986, i would like Mancini's or Hodge to do the car. ( Do it right or don't do it at all )

[BB1]

  you know that selling your Charger will bring you years of regret and bad luck, along with flat feet.

Don't do it, you'll never get it back... or will I.

Your better off just to keep it.

[daytona71]

My first charger was a 68,383 with 335hp, auto , platinum silver with blue int. Traded it in for my 73SE 400 auto. After 100,000 hard miles its now beginning the process of being restored.

Not to mention plagues of locusts, climate change and global economic collapse.  Trust us, you don't want all of that stuff on your conscience.

True that ! After 12 years of ownig my beater LEE, I had a moment of stupidity & traded it for (what I thought was) a nicer car a couple of years ago. I have regretted it every single day since it left. Worst part is it went to someone less than 5 miles from me & he absolutelty will not sell it back ! Its in the same shape it was in when I had it. It makes me sick everytime I see it now. I wish I would have never have caved in went through with the whole deal ( I tried to back out of the deal originally).

[OldGuy]

Going to college, got married, had a kid and gas prices soared to 32 cents per gallon.  So, in 1971, I traded my 68 R/T for a 1968 Chevy Malibu with a 307 in it so we could afford the gas and insurance.  I had to give my Charger plus $400 to the used car lot to take the Charger for the Malibu.  I was lucky, while I was dealing with the salesman, a guy I knew with a yellow 1968 Charger R/T, 4-speed pulled into the lot wanting to trade his Charger for the Malibu.  Beat him to it!!

[rayderluvr]

Gave my '72 se to my best friend who promised to build it or give it back if he didn't back in 1988 (he had a place to store it). I called him five years ago to get it back, he had hauled it to a junkyard. I knew the guy that owned the yard,  I called him and it had been crushed.   

[Charger_Dart]

I still have my first one and look forward to driving it as much as I can.

Your "best friend", what a douche.

[rayderluvr]

Your "best friend", what a douche.

Well, we kinda lost touch after I moved 500 miles South 11 years ago. I am hoping I can guilt him into giving me the black slapstick console/shifter he had purchased for the car, as well as a set of bucket seats.....

Sad thing is, the car had very little rust, and perfect front and rear bumpers. hidden headlights, front fenders were very good, even the ugly brown interior was almost perfect! Had the rally dash, the clock even still worked.....it was a great start to a project car for sure...oh yea, four rally wheels with centers and rings.....now I am making myself sick thinking about it...8 3/4 rear, 400/727 (although he had pulled the motor/tranny out when he first got it as he planned on a hemi build.....and yes, he had/has the funds to build whatever he wants, even back in '88).

I don't blame him. He helped me install a 400/727 out of a '77 Cordoba (just to get the thing moving), literally under a shade tree, using a tractor with a loader as the engine hoist. All we had to do was wire it up and start it, but my first kid was born in early August, and two weeks later his first came along, so our Sunday afternoon project got pushed aside, sitting outside through an Iowa winter with no hood or aircleaner (I know, please don't scold me, I was 19).

So, long story short, it is my fault as I was close to having it running, and I just lost interest. 25 years later I have a '73 SE that is going to get completed, I have a goal of June 1 2014 for her to be show ready. All but one of four kids are out of the house, doing very well, and my wife is on board with fullfilling the dream that has been on my books since she and I started dating in 1985.....

[Ghoste]

Ah, yes its a little different if you move away and don't maintain contact.  I had kind of thought you were across town or something, he's forgiven.

[GOTWING]

i had a friend of mine leave his 87 buick GN at my house for what was supposed to be a few weeks, it ended up being two years and he had the keys! so it sat out back in the yard killing grass. ( he was a contractor and left the states. )

[hemi68charger]

I sold my 1st Charger, a bronze '73 318 SE, to a good friend of mine back in,,, ohhhhh, 1982 I believe... I sold it to pay for the purchase and paint job of my 1st 2nd generation Charger, a '68 Charger. Not idea where the car is now. Going by Florida track-record, it is probably all rusted out by now.. (grew up in West Palm Beach, Fl.)

[Homerr]

Bought my '69 in 1992 (Vancouver, Wa.), sold it in 1995 to a guy (Ted S.) from the Salem, Or. area.

[charger490]

i got my frist 68 charger in 1968 and had it for 1 year and two months and was hit head on so the junk yard got mine.

[chargerboy69]

I sold my blue on blue 68 back around 1993.  It changed hands a couple times, even had several chances to buy it back.  I found it several years ago as a member of the "Old board" had it.  Last I knew it was still in the Fort Wayne area.

[BB1]

My second car was a Super bee that I bought from a junk yard in San Diego. Rare scat pack option with black painted scoops and hood pins.
4-speed, number matching everything, F6 black v-top and a black BB stripe.
I bought it in 1986 for $500., it only needed a clutch and it ran great.  

Wish I had that one back.  

Pictures of it:

[Ghoste]

Always wanted to find one of those Scat Pack ones.

[Tilar]

I still have my first one, the 68. Traded my second one, a pretty nice 72 SE Brougham, for an 85 LeBaron convertible for my last wife. What a mistake. Scrapped my third one, a 73, left the 4th one in Texas but it was one of the Omni Chargers, I couldn't give that thing away and it ran. Still have my 5th which is the 73 in my avatar pic. So at this point I have my first and my 5th.

I wish I would have never have caved in went through with the whole deal ( I tried to back out of the deal originally).

Until the title is signed and notorized, backing out is very easy. It consists of "Nope, Changed my mind. Not gonna do it."

[6pkrtse]

I never sold my first black 70 Charger R/T I bought in 1986 or so. I got rear ended by a drunk driver & the car got totaled rather than sold. With the insurance money I bought my 2ND & current red 70 Charger R/T S.E. that I still own today. It was bought back by someone else & repaired poorly. I was offered to buy it back after the repairs were poorly done but already found & bought my red 70'. Fast forward 20 years + later & I have re-located my original black 70 now several hours away from me but have not been able to buy it back.

[bad_habits]

I'm happy to say that both Chargers I have bought I still have, hopefully never have to sell one or both of them.

[1BAD68]

Bought my first Charger in 2000, dragged it out of a barn where it was sleeping for 20+ years. Sold it in 2003 to someone in California who sold it and now it's in Finland.

[tippytoe]

Until the title is signed and notorized, backing out is very easy. It consists of "Nope, Changed my mind. Not gonna do it."

I realize that now. The only reason I went through with the deal was he told me his young sons were very excited to get the car & that's all they talked about  . If I knew how much I would regret my decision now, I would have told the guy tough sh*t, I am not doing it. LESSON LEARNED.

I am actually on the hunt for another 69 to turn into a GL clone. When I find one, its going to be in better shape than my old one. Before I tear into it, I will contact the guy with my old one & see if we could work out a deal. Financially, it's a retarded idea but sentimentally, its priceless. If he refuses, no big deal. I will have a better foundation for my future Lee.

[RallyeMike]

I sold my first Charger to a guy who offered to buy it outside of a 7-11.  A few months later the guy (no idea of the name) ran it into a bus and totaled it. I found it in a junkyard and pulled one piece of trim off it which is attached to my current 69.

[Lord Warlock]

I got mine in July of 1978,  and drove it until i graduated college in June 1984.  Then i traded it to my dad for a used 77 mazda RX4 wagon (nice family car and more economical to drive to California to go through usaf missile school.  The agreement was that i would get first dibs on buying it back after i got out of the air force in 88.  It took a few years, and when i got a 70 camaro project car, he got irritated that i didn't buy the charger back, and promptly towed the car from Pensacola to Jacksonville, and dropped it off in my driveway and told me I could store it from then on, he didn't pass the title back till i paid for it again several years later.  I eventually paid it off and owned the charger again, and its been with me all but 4 years of my military service time. 

I've vowed never to sell it myself, my goal is to get it roadworthy and driving again, then when i keel over the wife will be able to sell it to pay off my leftover debt. 

In 2006 i had a 2 car garage built in the backyard, just to house the charger, and that was the last time it had been started and driven, as i got it running and actually drove it from the front yard to the backyard garage and parked it there.   This weekend, I decided it was due to start again, and after about an hour of tweaking, and hooking up an external fuel supply, as i don't trust the fuel in the tank, fired it up and let it run for 20 minutes today, sounded great for a car that hasn't run in 6 years.

[6pkrtse]

All cool stories. Love hearing about everyone's different stories but yet we all have the same passion for these Chargers.
