charger in hiding

[cbrestorations]

ive had my eye on this car for 18yrs, this is the first time i was able to get a pic of it even this close lol. everytime ive gone thru the little town its in it was either real late or the owner wasnt home. as a kid i would only see the tail lights thru a green mesh fence facing the freeway. the last 14 years the car disappeared from the fence line and i assumed it was sold. in the last year on one of my returning trips i peeked over the fence and there it was stashed in the back. last time i came by i spoke with the owner who was an older guy who gave me a quick story of it but it was late and he said next time i come thru town visit me during the day and ill let ya look at it. i came by today but he wasnt home, so i snapped a quick pick of it. he said it was a 69 rt/se 4 speed black with tan interior car. doubt ill get to see it on my return route, so its gonna be another month or 2 before i can come back thru probly.

Nice find. But poor car. Every thing piled around and on top of it. I guess it keeps it safe.

Looks like it just got done raining.

Yeah, so that means the Charger's trunk should have a nice pool in there by now.
Looks like that guy likes to collect all sorts of "stuff".

Let me guess, 
One day he is going to restore it.

R/T SE 4 speed? Wow! Sounds very desirable. I would love to have it.

You have to walk up on them very slowly.  You don't want it to get spooked and run off.

Great find.   

It boggles me though why people collect so much trash. Hoarders are sick in the noggin.

found me a good donar b body platform for my 69 r/t. this 66 charger is rust free and has a perfect foundation.



heres a charger i got a few little pieces off of, it has a few good metal panels but for the most part, she is a goner.



another one that has a nice rear frame rails, a passenger door and....ehhh

Hey Chris I could use this (see red outline) on your next visit. I need both sides but obviously the other side's missing lol.

Nice score on the 66 platform. Very nice and clean.

You know, that pic sorta reminds me of this one...



This was a pic I took around 1998, if I recall. I took this pic after probably 3 years of me knocking on the two exterior doors of the house. This poor Charger sat here at least a half dozen years before I stumbled on it in...maybe 1993. The first time I saw the car, the two right side tires held air (and are still halfway in this pic)...two years later, all 4 were squat. The garage behind looked like it could cave at any moment, I never looked inside.
About two years after this pic, the car was gone...it had a black gut & an auto.
