another 68 wrecked!!!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!!! what a tool!!!!

[PocketThunder]

We were walking out of the Xcel Energy Center one night after a Weezer concert and a guy in a 32 Ford tries to do a burnout from the stoplight.  We saw it first hand, he fish tails it right in the concrete divider between the lanes.  Good thing there was a concrete divider or he would have ran us over.   He smashed up the drivers side fenders pretty good.  But lucky for him as I walked closer I could see that the car had glass fenders.  Just order another set from a catalog.  But anyways, he stayed on the gas and tried to correct himself when he should have just let up.

Half of the problem in those instances is because there is an audience. Some of my worst crashes as a kid for example, were when I was showing off for people.

See WHO Needs Crumple Zones?  lol 

Looks like it crumpled just fine...

needing the exhaust......



think it will sell as a whole car?

I'd be surprised if it doesn't bring decent money, as either a fixer-upper or as a parts car.  There's still a lot there to work with.
That car is pretty bad, but it's no worse off than half the rustbuckets we see getting restored every day. 

Same with the hopeless parts-car bare shells that people still buy. 
Half those cars don't have a single "part" left on them and the lower half is totally gone, but people still pay $600 for them.

A guy would be ahead  to spend 6000 and get it for parts. Good black interior, 8 3/4 rear, trans, as long as the block ain't cracked it would be good, trim, LOTS of metal- look what it costs fro re pop panels and there you have 1 good 1/4 and one that could be fixed. trunk, rear window panel, tail light panel, door, rockers, patch panels for a roof, floor boards, rear frame, exhaust.... that could be a gold mine!

I don't see 6K in parts. Plus who knows if it has repos on it already? I am sure the drivers bucket is bent. I would rather buy repop floors and trunk then try to remove them. I would have my doubt on the trans & motor as far as the motor was pushed back. Even the 4K that was on it last time I looked is too much. I would only give 2K....maybe.......but that's just me.

Aren't 1/4s like 2500? He said it has all original panels, 1 is good, 1 cold be fixed. Maybe I am off, but it seems like a good deal if you have to start with a shell of an R/T or something.

I guess if you stripped the quarters and removed them and they were straight with no bondo maybe. The front fender has plenty of bondo though.

The pictures makes me cringe... 

[Mean 318]

I guess I am thinking of a car that was mint before, guess you need to see it before saying what is worth... foot in mouth lol

Older car with High performance engine and 40 year old handling + driver inexperience = destroyed 68 Charger.

What NOT to do with your Charger.

How was that a "restoration"? Looks like any regular "driver" that got wrecked.

[bigroge1]

just a little duct tape, some vato zone spray paint, and some chicken wire it'll be good as new

you forgot "+ no insurance."



how the hell do you stuff 5 grand into a basic rebuilt short block?  gold coated crank?  kryptonite rods?  if it was an all out race piece, cool, but we had a 440 rebuilt from top to bottom for around $3k and that included eight cylinder sleeves...  (#'s match + idiot previous owner+bad machine shop way back when+the 1970's idea of what makes cars fast=owned.)
