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 :2thumbs:

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.   :lol:

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!"
