Is that a bug deflecter?
Dave
QuoteWe have seen them sell into the $200,000's over the years.
:lol: yea right
Where is it? Tried the link but got a message saying the ad was removed? What color was the car?
musta been a scam, this is only 69 charger i see on craigslist for montana
http://montana.craigslist.org/car/627521538.html
It was there earlier :shruggy:
It was green on green, white stripe.
Dave
go search CRAZEDLIST to see if it pops up anywhere else in america on craigslist
Was it by any chance the same one that was on Craigslist in AZ a little while ago? Or did anyone recognize the car in the pictures? Or were there even any pictures on there?
I saw the ad earlier. The car was F5 Green, white stripe, console automatic with A/C. It did have a clear bug deflector :rofl: with full wheel covers and what looked like original white stripe bias-ply tires. Advertised as all original except for a starter and battery or something like that. Some rust, but probably not a bad deal for the $45k.
Hmmmmm, I have 2 F5 green 500's known as being console AT's with white stripes, and A/C. However I would go out on a limb and say its not either one of those. 1 was the car that BK used to have that had the full Daytona treatment done to it, nose, and wing.
Hmmm, I just searched crazedlist in the United States and nothing found. Maybe it will rear its head again. :yesnod:
I was able to retrieve this, but that's it
1969 DODGE CHARGER 500
FOR SALE: 1969 Dodge Charger 500,with 440 4bbl Magnum, 91k miles, automatic transmission, and air condition. ... Power, Montana
ok, did a little digging and found the seller's email address online. turns out is a little over 2.5 hours from me, not bad to know a c500 is this close. just a few details on the car, 69 c500, bought from their next door neighbors in 1971, all #'s match, green/green with white bumble bee stripe. Been sitting in field in montana since 1976- ie, needs lots of work. It is an A/C car, bench seat, column auto. Fender tag was stolen 15 years ago so no tag. Has rust, needs restoring. Wants $45000. She will be relisting on craigslist in about an hour she said-nice lady.
Bought my 500 out of Montana nearly 5 years ago now as well.
now hopefully a dc member can nab it, would be a nice addition to the family here :2thumbs:

Wonder how recent that photo is. Car looks pretty darn good in the picture. Including the bug shield, which would easily be removed. M25 wide sill moldings look pretty good too.

I tried crazelist.com (and .org) and crazedlist.com, and they seem to be generic search engines, not associated at all with craigslist. Did I miss something on the page? :scratchchin:
heard that the guy on ebay in Vancouver wash. who is selling the 71 barracuda convertible is trying to get the 500 ... :scratchchin: :brickwall:
car is going to go to Vancouver washington to a guy who used to have a real superbird in late 90's and sold it before the market changed..anyways will let him know about this site...thanks peter :cheers:
glad it went to a lover of em! hopefully he joins!
Tell the new owner I'd be really interested in talking to him about the car. I tried a few times to get ahold of the seller of the car, but to no luck.
he said that the old owners posted the car and it was flagged everytime..someone trying to not get the word out that it was for sale..i have seen that happen in Boise Id..anyways will let him know..thanks :yesnod: :yesnod:
WOW... this is a great Site. I like the dedicated Areo board. I am leaving Vancouver today to pick up my new C500 bug shield and all. I am buying the car from the second owners. Bonus to this deal is I get to meet the original owners too.

hello :cheers: would love to see pictures of your C500 :yesnod: :popcrn: ................. :2thumbs:
Welcome to the site. Plenty of other Charger 500's owners on here, and some of us are pretty obsessed with these old cars if you ask our wives.
Hi everyone. Made it home with the new C500 today. What a long drive that was!!!!!. More to come this week. This is a very very cool car. only rust is on the drivers rear quarter. I will post lots of pictures this week as I take them.
:2thumbs: ................. :popcrn:
What an awesome car for a project !!!! :2thumbs:
How is the car equipped? Any shots of the B sheet or fender tag? I went to high school in Vancouver WA for 2 years, never saw that car around, but then again, that was from 1979-81, I only saw a few rare Mopars around, most stayed stashed away.
Nice score!
man! thats a nice car. you did good . good luck with her :cheers:
Sorry pictures have taken a few days but I have only have had a little bit of time to go over the car since I got it back from Montana. Wife wasn't crazy about the purchase to start with so I think my honey do (NOW!!!) list got bigger when I got back. :-\ So fare everything I have found I am very happy with. :yesnod:.
Quick back ground story on the car. I am the 3rd/4th or 5th owner depending on how you look at it. Original owners (1) (who I got to meet, VERY NICE PEOPLE) traded in there Red 1966 charger 383 for the C500. Just had to have it and he told me that he had it up to 130 a few times on the back road. My response was (REALLY, on 14' biase ply tires to boot... :2thumbs: WOW). IN 1973 they traded it in(2) on a Buick (family car... :brickwall:). When the neighbor(3) found out about it he ran down to the dealer and bought the car!. That person was the Father of the (4) people I bought the car from. The car was driven until about 76 when they tried to trade it in on a new truck. Dealer wouldn't give them anything for the old charger so they got the truck and just parked the charger in the garage. It spent the next 25 years in one garage or another until the decision was it is time to sell. My Friend Terry forward me the Craigs list add and asked what did I think. I told him buy it or let me!! It is funny this car spent it entire life in Power's Montana, Population (not many). I never check Montana Craig's list....
With the car I got copies of a few pictures from the original owners just after they bought the car. Guess what...... It already had the bug shield on it!!! It also still had the Window sticker which is a major plus since unfortunate the fender tag was missing! I have only looked under the rear seat and front seats for a build sheet but hopefully the Window stick should be enough for GTS to reproduce it. The car is wearing its original paint all over. I can't find signs of any repaints but it has its share of bumps and scraps and scratches. No plans on repaint just a polish and show as is. The car is Green on Green. Auto on the column, buddy seat, A/C, AM-8-track 3speeker dash, Mag like hubcaps (thought they were only on GTS' Darts but they are on the window sticker for this car). Everything under the hood looks pretty original with the addition of the Words electronic ignition conversion. I have a few things to go threw on the car before trying to start it up but I have high hopes this old charger will fly again! Only plans for now are to fix what is wrong, fix the seats, buff the paint, make it road worthy and drive it.!
The car has a long and interesting history for sure :yesnod:. Can we see the original pics? :2thumbs:
Will have origanel picture scanned in soon. going to try to load more picutures of the car but computer is acting up.

engine 2
More pics tomorrow. computer running too slow
good story & pictures on the C500 ....... :popcrn: thanks for posting them ( Bug Shield ), would love to see the other pictures :drool5: :popcrn:
Awesome love that you are keeping it as original as possible. Just cleaning it up and driving it is great ! Keep the bug shield too!
quick shot of the garage I pulled it out of. also check out the gravel roads. Nothing but gravel roads for miles. They sent us a different way out from getting to their place and the gravel roads seamed to never end. Stop sigh, 4-way intersections, you name it all gravel roads. Basically in that area if it's not the main road it's a gravel road. Stopped a passing truck to ask if there was any assfault close by that resembled a road. She :lol: and said just another few miles down. I am surprised the charger still has a suspension under it. I had to check the Suburban once we stopped for gas.
A little mouse smelling inside. may have to replace carpet to help get rid of the oder. lots of cleaning coming this cars way
Passanger lower quarter just has a little gravel road rash. (no rust) Drivers lower quarter forward side is the same way but the rear part with the dent has the only rust on the car. I want to fix it but that means removing that part of the stripe. It must of been dealer installed since this is a Stripe delete car per the window sticker.
Gotta go to work. more pics (computer willing) later. :icon_smile_big:

I know because they started life as and R/T they didnt want the build sheet to be coded to put on an R/T stripe at the factory . But would the dealer window sticker be coded stripe delete on all the cars ???????????
I thought that the stripe delete cars automatically received the R/T quarter panel emblems. That would have left holes in the quarters.
Yep, the window stickers would reflect how the car was built at Hamtramck - which was sans stripe. Under normal conditions, a V88 R/T would have received the cast emblems on the quarterpanel, and several C500s and Daytonas have evidence of a patch job over the peg holes.
Creative's guys would have had more work to do if they had to remove either a stripe or the emblems so "Plan A" was to have neither of these obstacles in the way when C.I. got the cars. The car's status with A11 on the fender tag was "supposed" to tell the line workers to leave the emblems off too. That worked at least some of the time... :lol:

thanks for clearing that up
:-*
You going to have the car at the Salem or Woodburn show?
Yes I hope to take it to at least the Woodburn show, maybe both. Push pull or drag.. but hopefully :vert:
Just had to see what it would look like without the bugshield. :whistling: I will put it back on for the show :scratchchin:. It is a piece of history for the car that I will keep with it. just maybe hanging on the wall most of the time.

Probably JC Whitney.......... :icon_smile_big:
How are the rubber trim pieces that go on the grille extensions? And is that a 1976 plate I spy on the front of the car? Resembles the one on the front of my 500. My car was in Montana as well. Well off the main highways as well. Had been parked since 1976. I purchased it in July of 2004.
The stripe would have been "factory" well at least installed by Creative Industries. I would love to see the old pictures to see if the bezels have always been body color as they are now. I would be willing to bet money that they never were painted stripe color like they were supposed to be.
I once had a '66 Sport Fury that had the exact same bug shield on it when I bought the car. :lol:
The bug shield was only one of about a half dozen oddball things on the car that all looked like they came from JC Whitney. There were chrome, driving lights mounted in the back window on the package tray that faced rearward. They were hooked up to the reverse lights, so I guess the idea was to brighten up the area behind the car. All they did was light up the back window with a huge glare so you couldn't see out at all. :lol:
I thought I saw a MoPar Performance part number.... :scratchchin: wasn't it part of the Aero package to keep it from going tooooo FAST!!! :D
My personal opinion, which isn't worth all that much really, is to take a nice big poster size pic of the car with the bugshield on, take it to the shows with you and leave the bug shield off of the car entirely.
While the shield is part of the history, the car looks so good without it. Very nice car. :2thumbs:

Nope no injuries yet after "running" into many of them in the past year. Only minor cuts and scrapes. Actually have cut myself a few times when looking at them. Usually because I'm trying to crawl under them, or in some cases to them, or even through one.
cool car!
