There are still very rare cars "out there" lets share our stories

[Harlow]

73chargerSE took me around on his part of town and showed me a hemi challenger, sits in a carport, guy wont sell. Completely rust free car in great condition. Scott, a member here was telling me about a 71 V code charger out here, not for sale and also a 70 V code Superbee, same story. There are still quite a bit of cars around, people just hold on to them. Luckily they aren't rusting away out here...As for me, I haven't found anything extremely rare, just your standard chargers, mach 1's etc...

[hemihead]

I know where alot of cars are sitting 99% of them are the " going to fix someday" stories. 78 Little Red , 66 Charger , 67 Coronet R/T , 71 Barracuda,
70 Donahue Javelin, 68 Barracuda ,71 Chrysler 300, and a 69 Charger 500 . I know of more but I have brain damage.

This Cuda has sat in the exact same spot for about 13 years that I've known about it.  No motor--seemed to be in good shape when I seen it last.

There's a guy in my lil town here that has a '69 gtx. Blue with a black vinyl top. It used to sit in his driveway for the longest time and at one point in the early 90's it was put up for sale, I think his price then was $6,000. It never sold and is now sitting under a tarp rotting at the back of his property.

[RT DAVE]

Well, I'm currently working on buying the alleged only (according to wayne wooten) 383 Three speed Manual on the Column 68 charger ever built.  He said it, not me, so please no "I saw one thirty years ago at the drag strip" remarks...   Peace.

That sounds like an odd combo, I'd like to see a pic of that

I have two... First, one of the 2 V-Code 1972 Chargers is here in Michigan (the Yellow one).  It is not for sale and the current owners Dad was the original owner. The car needs restoration...

Second one is hardly a secret since it's been on e-Bay several times in the last few months.  It's a 1972 Charger Rallye COUPE.  Original 440, 4 Speed, Dana 60 car is one of only 6 made... add to that the original N96 Ramcharger hood and the White on White color combo... pretty rare.  Bad thing is it needs reconstruction THEN a restoration.  Bad shape... but the seller was including all the repair parts with it.

Any new stories or finds?


A guy I know told me this story. He says a very reliable source told him it. Apperentley theres a 70-71 Hemi Cuda sitting on its side on an indian reserve in Southern Alberta. No engine or trans and the car is trashed. Apperentley anyone that goes near it... they'll get a 30-30 shell in the head

Well I'm only 18 and this is my last year of High school thank god. But for my age and already owning 4 Mopars I think I'm starting out good already  . But it's amazing how I fell into obtaining my 72 Roadrunner well I saw an ad on Onestop Motors selling a 72 Roadrunner air grabber with 4 speed and I think only 300 or so were made with 4 speeds. The the price was only 12,000 and it just had a new paint job just needed wordk on the quarters. So next day I call and get the guy's number and the sad thing is that it's already been sold but he said well I do have another 72 Roadrunner for $5,000. So then I spent about 3 months inquring pictures and getting as much info as I could and then buddies on Roadrunner nest said your lucky since that car is only 1 of 34 power sunroofs  . So I got a loan on it nd my cousin,dad, and brother went down to Kansas and turns out the guys storage is filled with Mopars and that he was building a Superbird clone. But 850 miles and $300 worth of gas I say that was a great adventure for me.

Another story is that my aunt knows this guy in town next to us and also rebuilds trannys. So I stop and talk to him because my aunt likes talking about how I always drove my 73 Charger SE around as a daily driver since that was my only transportation my beginning high school year. But he started talking and said he had a 71 GTX and has a hemi. But I keep thinking he put it in it because he kept saying he wants to drag it soon. And I asked so what engine did the GTX have orginally and he just said well it came a Hemi. So I always ask my aunt once and while what options it has since I guess she has cleaned out the interior. And she says it's a brown, not exactly what color brown mopars had and auto on tree and of course  an air grabber. But She says it's sat in storage since the guy bought it from a solider who got his legs off and was going to make it so he could drive it without legs. But man she says it only has 2,000 miles on the odometer and the guys says I need to get the GTX out so I can show you  .

Actually just found a pretty rare car.  F3 green '71 Charger R/T with green interior and black top.  440 mag, slapstick, A/C car.  It looks like it has a factory luggage rack.  Sorry, but I'd rather not post pictures of it until I know the full story.  We'll see how it goes.
