rare 69 charger se sunroof car loaded w/ options found in woods

[sdweatherman]

Yep, it is pretty far gone. If I had my shop up and running (about 3 years) and the price was right, I would consider taking it on. I'm going to say its got three things going for it - Sunroof, F6, and numbers matching drive train. The seller really really wants to see someone restore the car. He is holding his reserve just high enough to keep the scrappers at bay for awhile in hopes that someone takes on the challenge. Scott.

It's not a resto candidate.  But I fail to see why it should be scrapped.  If we crush them all then where do we get small parts?  What do we use to build tube-chassis racecars out of?  In fact it looks like a good donor body for that.  The upper half of the car survived better than average but the bottom is toast.


Those sunroofs are interesting, but IMO they're mostly desirable just because they are rare.  People don't retrofit that option to a non-sunroof car during a resto.

Wonder what's holding the rear bumper on? More scale??

Jack the sunroof up and drive a new car underneath.   Not much original structure left to work with.   Maybe the Barrelcuda guy up in Canada would have the guts to take it on.

I would say that the reason the paint survived so well is because it was parked in the woods in 1979 and was basically in the shade, after a good power washing this is what you end up with seeing. If it sat in a field that long the sun would have toasted the paint.

I like the shower curtain type rod holding the ¼ panels in place.

You don't like the hardwood trunk floor?

Once in a while they do.  


If this is Pete's bird he scavenged a sunroof from a 1969 Charger that was in the same crappy condition as the green one. He told me the car literally collapsed on the trailer bringing it home.

The hardwood floor is of the trailer you are seeing thru the missing trunk floor. And trunk floor extensions. And frame rails. And gas tank brace. And gas tank. And crossmembers. And.....

Yes, the seller has informed me that the buyer has already started the restoration. The seller is going to try to keep tabs on the progress, and hopefully he will pass on the tidbits to us.
