When is the last time you saw a 66-74 Charger "in the wild?"

Blue was illeagle in Oregon last time I checked. Looks like it has original plates maybee looking at the colour.

[472 R/T SE]

Another third gen about a mile from my house. I started seeing it once school started because this year I drive a different route to a different school. Finally remembered to take my camera with me. It's parked at this cocktail lounge pretty much every day so apparently the owner likes the hooch.

That's Cowboy Joe's rig.  He used to be a prominent member of the R/T club.  I think he's the original owner too.  It used to have nitrous but I think he blew that motor up.

He was at one of our meetings telling us about a lounge he hung out at was going to do an inaugural cruise in earlier this summer.

It seems most older hot rods I've seen have those blue dots on their tail lights.

i recently acqired a tail light for my buddy's 70 dart to replace a cracked one. Couple days later i go over and he tells me it wasn't the same, but he used it anyways....must be from a different year. He points and says "See...mine had the blue dots." He actually had never seen em and thought they were stock!!!

Most likely. But Oregon went to yellow-back reflective plates in 75 so I'm not sure what to make of that. In reality it should have the non-reflective blue back plates if he's the original owner unless he had them replaced or it wasn't purchased/licensed until 75.

Does ESPN Sportscenter count?  LOL  

Last night during Sportscenter with Chris "Boomer" Berman's 2 Minute drill, he's talking about the AFL and showing clips from back in the day.  There was a 69 Charger for just a second in one of the clips!  I couldn't believe it, sitting on the sidelines there by the end zone. "I'm ready to go in coach!"

Just saw the segment again this morning, YUP!  It's a 1969 Charger, teal greenish in color.  Hard to tell really with the color quality back then.  HA!

I saw this real nice example in NH earlier this week. I was there for 4 days, and was really hoping to run into the owner, but no luck...

Thats funny. How about back in the day when people ran their back up lamps on also?  I did that as a teen, but not the blue dot thing even though I remember them well.

On GM's if you hooked up the tranny wires wrong the back ups stayed on.

That is one clean 3rd gen!!! I think those hubcaps are the same ones chrysler used on the Cordoba, my uncle had one with hubcaps just like those.

This one was at a diner in a small town in ND (actully they are all small towns in ND, compared to other states).  But anyway, I about had a fit when I saw it.  We were on our way to our vacation spot at a lake in MN, and were off the interstate for some food.  I dropped off the kids at Subway, and the wife and I headed back for  some photos.  I was hoping to catch the guy and the car in the parking lot of the diner, but he was already on the move.  The wife grabbed this shot.  Not an awesome car, but nice.

Really? Maybe my standards are low but it looks pretty awesome to me. Looks like a very well-kept survivor.

Probably just a 318 car since it has single exhaust but still a pretty clean looking car. Plus it is the best color 

[Charger440RDN]

The mud flaps and white walls need to go they take away from the car.

[HeavyFuel]

Don't get me wrong, it was a nice car.    I guess I'm just a stickler for some things, like the little single stainless mud flap up front.  Looks kinda odd.  But hey, the guy driving it looked fairly senior, so it may be original owner car for all I know.  I remember having those same kind of flaps on my first car, a 76 Monte Carlo.  

[bull]

Yea, all those little quirks scream "original owner" to me.

[b5blue]

Cool time-warp car....makes me feel like 1975 all over! There was a 70 around here with the same effect going on.

I've seen this one in the wilds of my driveway recently.

[The70RT]

  Let me know if it needs moved 

[Charger440RDN]

The 1970 Charger 500 I almost bought last winter is now for sale down in Kansas. It surprised me when I saw it pop up on craigslist. Small world when it comes to Chargers.  Here is the link

Been sitting in Kearny for (I'm guessing) years.

[motorcitydak]

Saw another one today. It was a dark green '70 with a black top and a blacked out nose chrome piece. It was rite by my house in St Clair Shores, Mi on Harper just north of 11 mile Rd at about 3pm. Didnt have time to get a pic tho

[Brock Samson]

checked on the progress of this one,...    as it slowly returns to the elements...

[ChgrSteve67]

What a shame.

Check out that hitch.

I see head rests.

An Orig CA car.

[Brock Samson]

  Here's the whole story, I've seen this car in the same spot since i was in grammer school in the late '60s and I remember it brand new in '67.. when i used to ride by everyday on the bus...
