I was going through my trunk contents, looking for a muffler support bolt (didn't find it), and was suddenly bemused by the collection of cleaners, parts, and tools calling my trunk home. I attached a picture for your edification (look it up) :P. So, go out, snap a picture and post it. No cleaning or straightening up, though.

i can tell ya right now,..
in my Charger there's a ten speed bike... :icon_smile_big: that's it...

In my trunk is a spare water pump, ignition including wires, ballast resistors a couple ECU's and voltage regulators. assorted filters a thermostat and lengths of hose. clamps, a multimeter, and just about anything you could need for a mopar short of internals, even then, I keep a few extra rocker arms too. I will not be caught with my pants down.
At the moment, nothing but a trunk mat but one of the great things about 1st gens is the enormous amount of cargo space. When the car is loaded for a long haul like the Nats, I carry a tub of cleaning supplies and fluids, a pair of toolboxes, a jack and two stands, a bbq, a gas can, and any spare parts I can cram in there.
2 folding chairs, 1 tool box, a easy up shade tent, a detailing container with rags wax etc. 2 framed 68 Charger posters I bought from 6pkrunner. and my California duster.
My wife says about 20 extra pounds.

I took this pic from outside the trunk with the lens of the camera stuck in the opening for the side marker.
4 tail lights, extra a/c heater box and controls, extra headrest, battery tray, roll of side moulding, extra trim for vinyl top, pretty much every thing shown on the floor plus a few extra things.

I was going to ask what was the strangest thing you ever found in a trunk but Old Moparz Grandma post would be pretty hard to top.

Oh BTW that day begins Saturday!!!

Damn, that's for sure! :smilielol:
Ok Moparz, exactly how long have you been holding onto that pic...just waiting for someone to start this thread? :lol:
Oh, I almost forgot to add mine. Last month when I pulled my Charger out of the garage for the first time in 2 years, I found where I put my fold-up motorcycle ramp for safe keeping! I had been asking everyone in the house if they had loaned it to someone & was getting to the point that I had just about written it off.
So I popped the trunk lid & it was Christmas all over again! :icon_smile_big:

I wasn't holding onto it, I read the post at work & when I went home for lunch I snapped the pic to post it. :D
I don't store anything except a spare tire in the Charger's trunks, and they are well hidden under the carpeting in the '66 and the '67. In the '68 there's just a small tool box in the trunk.
I should have taken a picture of the inside of my mauve '66 318 Charger's trunk when I got it. Man it was loaded to the brim with EVERYTHING! Basketball, tools, junk, junk, more junk, right down to a bag of old square nails at the bottom.
In the '67 Charger, and in my mauve '66 Charger when I've gone up to my lake cabin with them, I can fit a lawnmower, 5 gallon gas jug, ice chest, water cooler, spare tire, and a few grocery bags full of clothes, tools, and misc supplies all in the trunk, without lowering the trunk divider.
Here's a shot I just took of my red '66 Charger's trunk, the way I like it, nice and clean.
Your pic reminds me of something else Jon. For those who like big sound in your Charger, the fastbacks with the big trunk and the divider panel have a great area there for sound reproduction. The divider can work similar to a baffle board in an amplifier.
Only rust
3 boxes of parts from summit. and other parts that i've collected of the past 6 months that i haven't had time to get too....
now i have a quart of oil and 2 quarts of ATF and a ATF funnel in my "mexican compartment" the trem my friend Dan Martinez used for that 12 in space between the grill and the radator on third gen chargers.
Dan said that you could smuggle mexicans across the border in a space that big.... and i supose its PC because he was mexican... ahhh i miss Dan.
