That poor car what a shame.

[WINGIN IT]

Damn that's a shame.
Why couldn't it have at least been dark green ... 

[held1823]

looks like the plug is long gone.

[hemi68charger]

I see some valuable pieces left, the grille support brackets !!!

[41husk]

I bet the VIN and fender tag or gone!

[Aero426]

I bet the VIN and fender tag or gone!

They are (amazingly) still on the car.

[41husk]

That is amazing.  I figured someone would use it even for a Daytona clone.  I would love to have the fender tag for the wall of the Mopad.  I could hang it under the nose cone top

 Power Drum brake car

[Nwcharger]

It almost looks like the fender tag says xs29 to me. Maybe an early 500?

[69_500]

Nice. Would love to have a blue 500.

     , wonder if its a known one  ,     looks like it was rolled or been on passenger side  ,
  see what looks like  bondo slapped over the (V88 ) stripe delete R/T emblem holes , think i  remember reading  something about first batch of un converted charger R/Ts , had  the  R/T name plate  installed &  creative just bondoed the holes up  ,

nice catch

[Old Moparz]

Now that more people have been made aware of this car & that it still has it's VIN tag, I bet it won't be long before it's dragged out of the woods & sold.

[held1823]

if i read the moparts post correctly, the guy who first posted it, had already bought it

I recall this post mentioned bondoed over holes.It might have been bronze Pocket thunders 500 had patched holes in his 500

of course. if i could i would try to buy it myself. my wife would probably kill me though. shes still mad about the daytona  

[Fred]

To sad...............it hurts to look.

[RallyeMike]

That hurts. Did they ever flip the tag over to see how it was optioned? I can't make heads or tails out the rusty top.

[XS29LA47V21]

rough car for sure, still mostly all there (in beat up condition), I would be supprised if it does not get put back together at some point, it is not tags in bags..... after all, as it sits is worth way more together than the sum of the remaining parts...... by far.

[Old Moparz]

I recall someone on Moparts used to have a sig line that said something like......

"Any car can be restored around a door hinge with time, patience & deep pockets. God bless the insane."

Can't remember the exact wording.   

[hemigeno]

I've heard others say something to the effect of "Jack up the radiator cap, drive new car underneath, re-attach radiator cap, and voila - restoration complete!"

[WINGIN IT]

It almost looks like the fender tag says xs29 to me. Maybe an early 500?

Yeah, I agree.
Also appears to be a bucket seat console car ( think I spy a C16 and C55 ).
I'll hazard a guess it's an automatic. Do I also spy a P31 in the upper left corner??

[Mopar John]

I'll bet if you took off the bent up hood, fenders and doors like the new auto salvage auctions do nowdays it wouldn't look quite so bad. If the owner has the plug that was cut out as stated it could be fixed!

[41husk]

Probably takes a little more effort than that for a rebody

[XS29LA47V21]

Scoping this daytona on the mopars thread it seems to have lots carved out also, including if I am seeing it right the floor boards back including frame rails, maybe I am wrong.  It would take some skills & pocket book to save the blue 500 but I bet it is put back together, six million dollar man, I mean 500, by the way nice colored to many.

[Highbanked Hauler]

 I heard or read that you could special order a 500 up to the end of the model year.

[XS29LA47V21]
