A 1969 XP 318 Charger joins the group

[FC7 V code]

I found this with a little help(Brother in law who delivers fuel, so he has a great excuse for wandering around other peoples yards ) only about ten miles from where I live. Its a 318 auto car with factory air with white exterior/blue interior. I bought in mid May and it came with 3 van loads of parts! Just getting around to getting some pics of it re-sized, its been a busy summer . It was originally a southern car so the frame rails are in very good condition although the trunk floor and drivers side front floor pan are both going to require some work along with some sheet metal here and there. Worst area on the car is the panel between the bottom of the rear window and the front of the trunk lid. A few gaping holes there. The car had apparently been sitting in this spot for about 10 years with a car cover and tarp over it. It was in a location I probably had driven past at least a hundred times but was positioned in such a way that you would have literally had to drove up to the owners door to see. It just makes you wonder really how many are left out in the wilds that only a very few people know exist. Photos were taken on the day we loaded it up for the ride to its new home. Probably will be a couple years before I get going on it as at the moment we are doing up a 70 Challenger SE 383 for my Son that was way farther gone than we originally anticipated . My Daughter has claimed this Charger as hers , so hopefully we can see some progress on it before she graduates from H/S in two years.

Good to see that somebody is going to save another one.  One thing you have going for you is that a lot of parts have been repoped in the last 5 years that, in the past, were simply not available.  What are your plans for the car?  Keep it as a 318/auto?

That looks like a good buy, I would have picked it up too.  Asking about a car that is sitting and actually landing it has only worked once for me but hey better than none. Are you trying to corner the market on blue interior?
