Bought the car from a co-worker a year or so. He hed owned it since 1972. He said it stopped running 85 so he put it in a friends barn.I had work with him for about a year and he kept telling me he had a 69 charger and I kept telling him if he decides to sell it let me know. Times got tough for him, we decided on a price  :laugh: and it was mine.
Im going to paint it B5 with blue interior.A/C, power windows, am/fm radio, rear defog, and everything worked when I got it. It even had freon in the a/c system. :icon_smile_cool:

Whats the craziest thing you've found underneath the carpet of your charger? I found a welding rod,gum wrapper and a couple of discs cut from the floor pans. :scratchchin:
