I see dozens every year but only if I go to a couple car shows. Otherwise I rarely see them at all just out in public rolling down the street. The last time I saw a 2nd gen Charger it was a '68 turning at a stop sign about 1/2 mile from my house, and that was over two years ago. Since that time I've seen one third gen Charger and that was probably 10 months ago. I just never see them. Is it the area in which I live? Do some of you in other parts of the country or world see classic Chargers more frequently?
Saw a white one 3 weeks ago and a blue one on Sunday pulling into the local Dodge dealership.
BTW: I like how you specified the years...keep those wannabe Chagnums out of this thread... :yesnod:
Last August (I think it was), the day I found my Barracuda, I also saw 2 73/74 SE's, and a couple months later, spotted a 68 driving around town, and a 69 in a neighboring town.
I saw a triple black 68 driving over Tower Bridge in London in February....that same day I saw a rough round the edges 72 R/T parked up in a street in Kennington, London. Pretty rare to see them at all over here, so I was impressed - I'd gone down to London to visit my sister for the weekend. I think she was a touch disappointed that seeing the Mopars appeared to be the highlight of my weekend!! :-X

I see them from time to time but like you say, it's probably a regional thing. I'm close to Detroit so I still see a lot of American cars from most eras running around occasionally.
I never see them. Once in a blue moon a third gen or an omni-charger, but never a first or second gen.
I guess I should have clarified that they were both '69's. Now that I think about it I also saw a sublime '72 going the opposite direction on the freeway last week, a black '73 on a trailer about 4 weeks ago and an off-white '67 in a driveway 2 weekends ago....hmmm, maybe I'm in Charger heaven. :icon_smile_wink:
I should also mention the brown Demon, the yellow Scamp, the mango Challenger, the red '67 Barracuda vert, the black '70 RR, the gold 440 Coronet and the primered '68 Satellite I see around town all the time. Oh yeah, the '67 Polara station wagon (440 underhood) that I see now and again is pretty cool too...
Yesterday, I guess.
I see a '71 R/T and a '72 over at my friends house to which I usually go after school, if that counts. If not, about a month ago I saw a black '73 on my way to school. Never have seen it again.
Sadly, I have NEVER seen a first or second gen anywhere close to here.
Kind of a mix of both scenarios... last year, while on my way to Moparfest is saw lots of Chargers and other mopar cars on the highway going towards the town of New Hamburg. So they were in the wild, but I doubt they would have been there on any other day of the year.
I see them all the time around here. I go about 10 miles one way, some guy has a silver '66 or '67. I go about 5 miles another, another guy has a few '71 - '72 Chargers. Over near my parents, there is a '69 "General Lee". Last year I saw a nice '68 too.
I never see them around here either. I saw a third gen a few years ago but that's about it. There's a guy that has a purple Cuda and I see it about once a year. It's slim pickin's around here.
I spotted a 72 last fall, just a quick glance of a 69 as it passed me in town also last fall, a 73 parked at a residence and 15 plus at car shows this past year. The best was the car show drive down the drag, it was great to see all of my favorite cars on the old drag.

Nope, none other than the one in my driveway... Just don't see 'em...
There's one here in Nashville that an eccentric old lady has as her daily driver. It's a 69 SE, B3 blue, white vinyl top/white interior, original paint, original Magnum 500's, straight body, helluva car. She's been approached by members of the local Mopar club, but she says that she is the original owner and it's the only car she's ever had, that it's absolutely not for sale. She lives in a pretty bad neighborhood, but I'll still drive by occasionally and it's always there. I'll do my best to get a "drive by" pic, since it's the kind of 'hood that you'd get greeted by a 12 guage if you knocked on the door. I've seen it around town for many years...looks so funny to see this little white-haired lady, barely able to look over the steering wheel, tooling around in her Charger.
This doesn't quite count but I was very surprised to see a '72 'Cuda today. You don't see those any more often than Chargers it seems.
I see maybe one or two just driving around "in the wild" each year...and I give myself whiplash each time, too. :smilielol:
There are several fastbacks here in the Fresno area, one pretty sharp red one I saw a month or so ago. I dont see too many 2nd gens, a few years ago there was a good looking yellow/black 69 & a sublime green 69 that I almost bought (still kicking myself) Years ago, in the early 80's there was a metal flake green 68 R/T with black/gold highlights. The lic plate said hot luver. I havent seen that one for forever.....3rd gens? I havent noticed too many recently..
It seems like I see 3rd gens all the time actually. I saw a 1st gen at a used car dealership not too long ago. It was a little more money than I thought it was worth.
theres a 70 here in town i see once every blue moon, i know the owner, pretty cool guy, and about 10 miles from me there is another 72 driving around, i see it about every weekend...
later :icon_smile_cool:
had to run to seattle a few weeks ago and saw a stunning triple black 68 rt. also spotted a all black 70 here in town cruising down the road, sure dont see em like i did ten years ago. :rotz:
a guy owns a primered 69 charger round here and hes drives it almost everyday, see a triple green 69 charger downtown sometimes-MATT
I actually saw a dark green 68 driving yesterday for the first time in about a year and a half. South burbs of Chicago.
Last late summer there was a red '69 parked on the street in W. Seattle where I drove past, it was there in the eves. for a month or two, then never saw it again.
Here's a picture I snapped last summer, of the 69 that I saw.
Last summer, I just about rear ended a car in front of me as I approached a red light...because in my mirror, this baby was fast approaching! :o
(http://i.onfinite.com/tkRJ4ddq.jpg)
This pic was actually taken around 1999, while on a motorcycle ride with some friends.
Last summer was the first time I'd seen it since. It looked exactly the same, but the owner has added a bunch of performance stickers on the lower front fender. It's got a R/T emblem on the fender...and if I recall, a Charger script above it.
They are all over the place in Charger Fever country! :icon_smile_big:

Yea, especially if you show up at the right place and the right time.
This may be true for others but I swear not a day goes by that I don't see a classic year Mustang here between '65-'69. I see Camaros too but far less often than Mustangs, maybe once every couple months. Chargers, almost never.

HAHA! Yeah the only time I see a Charger in my town is when I am out driving one of mine but then do I really see a charger since I am in one?! ???
Todd
There are a couple I see around here. The ones I see actually on the road are a silver 1966 Charger, triple green 1968 Charger, blue with black top 1968 Charger, a red with black top 1969 Charger R/T, purple 1970 Charger, and many 3rd gens. My last sighting was the blue with black top '68 just maybe 3 weeks ago.
A few years back I was driving in my black '68 Charger on a long strip of two-lane blacktop, when I saw a red '67 Charger headed towards me.
The '67 passed me and the driver honked his horn and waved, I waved back.
It was kind of surreal.
Now of those of us who are seeing them on occasion, are they "strange" Chargers or do they belong to people you know? It's both in my case but I guess I figure that even if I know the person driving it, if I see them by chance it's still a Charger in the wild.
Besides my own (which I drove tonight) I am alone.
Even at the big car shows in my area, it is rare that I see another Charger of any generation. I went to a big show last year with hundreds of cars, trucks, bikes, etc., and there were only 3 Mopars in the entire event! Me, a rough half '68/ half '69 GL wanna-be and a really REALLY sweet Triple Black '70 Challenger.
Because of this, I feel obligated to drive mine as much as possible (taking it to work tomorrow) so that more people will experience the neck snapping "OMG Look At That!" experience :icon_smile_approve:
Just spotted a 73 as I was driving around last night, sitting in a garage. I drove around the block, so I could get another look. Alas, no camera with me at the time.

No rules here. Count yourself lucky if you have regular sightings. But how about this, how many have you seen lately
besides the regulars?
I can only think of one so far this year. A gunmetal metallic '72 with hidden headlights.
A '70 AAR too but the '72 was the only Charger
If you wanted to talk other Mopars, There are a lot around here that I see ALL the time including 2 mint Superbirds. One is yellow, and the other is orange and has a Hemi. The orange one gets driven a lot on weekends. There is also a near mint B5 blue '69 GTX with slots on it the the guy drives almost as a daily driver. There is also a mint red '70 RR. There are also a few others that I can't recall right now (just woke up).
As odd as it may sound I see them quiet frequently overhere. Saw a maroon red 68 last and there are a fair amount of 3rd gens running almost daily around my parts. You don't see them every day but there doesn't go two months by without seeing a Charger on the road. First gens are really rare though. The 2nd only when the sun is coming out, the 3rd gens are mostly ran all year long. I have to go to my dad every other sunday and that's when the toys come out to play. Also saw a Superbird on the highway a couple of weeks ago.
Arthur
Well, lately it would only be a couple but in all fairness, I'm in Canada and we do get snow here occasionally. That tends to keep the old cars off the road.
Oh, I forgot, saw one of our members rides in Lynwood a couple months ago, he drives it regularly on weekends I guess, a 73. It wasn't a car show, so I guess that counts.
My cousin takes his 72 Rallye out and exercises it from time to time...........
............kinda nice to see out and about amongst the everyday humdrum traffic! :icon_smile_big:
i know of quite a few in my area,but never see them out on the road!actually the only other mopar i have seen out driving besides my charger is a dark green 72 or 73 roadrunner,one town over from me
I saw a '71 sublime RR today. There is black '72 GTX around here too.
I saw a white 2nd gen nose down in the mud 2 weeks ago.
I know of a 74' se used as a daily driver here in sacramento, ca green w/ white vinyl top, good lookin. otherwise never see them around.
In the 4 years I've lived here, I haven't seen one Charger on the road that wasn't tied to a show. :rotz:

What's that mean?
the ones i see are apart and not for sale
I see a red 72 SE with a 440 quite a bit in the summer months. I drive by three rotters everyday (one of each generation!) but those dont really count.
I live in Chebbie country. The last time I saw another Charger on the road was 97, he actually followed me to my house because he had not seen another Charger on the road for years. At a Walmart cruise in the mid 90's a guy pulled in with a 69 sunroof Charger.
this makes me laugh as i type it...
today, leaving easter services with my GF, what's comming down the deserted Palo Alto street but a pefectly stock medium blue '68 with deep dish wheel covers,.. my jaw dropped,.. a calif black plate special.. so i went out into the middle of the street like a danged idiot, determined to converse with the driver (an older gent) and offer to buy the car and/or trade him my GF... inspite of my repeated shouts, whistles, arm waving and running after him, he failed to heed my suggestions that he stop... he puttered on seemingly without noticing me.. >:(
He was probably thinking to himself something like, "damn hippies, always trying to spoil my fun with their ecology rants". ;)
Took the Ponty-yack out for a cruise last night and spotted a 73 or 4 SE with a power bulge and the vinyl top removed. It was painted Hemi orange. Also craned my neck to see the red 1st gen ( behind the guys house ) on the way back to my house.
Whoa! Just saw a red '68 with a black vinyl top going down the street in front of my shop at work. Weird timing too. I rarely leave the shop for lunch and when I do I rarely drive straight back to work with my food but I saw it as I was pulling into the driveway. For a second I thought about chasing him down but what do you say once you catch them? Duh, nice car, I gots one too.
Today, I went and saw a 73 off a side road that my buddy told me to check out cause they were asking 1900obo. So i thought alright, went and checked it out( camera in hand)
But it wasn't 1900 it was 4900obo. That being said I met with the gentleman who's selling it and told him I would try to help him out and explained this web site to him.
Here goes:
He is the second owner, the original owner drove it to florida every winter to escape harsh new england weather. It's a 318 auto column shift, straight, number's matching and solid underneath with 119K. I couldn't get way under due to the mud(that's classified as it's own season in Maine by the way). The seats need help, needs new headliner, needs new dash, needs new vinyl top. The rear springs are sprung and will need to be replaced. The trunk has had a patch put in on the passenger side, there is surface rust on the bottom of the trunk pan that I can see, don't know if it's bad cause the tanks in the way. The trunk looked solid to me in the middle from up top though. It has one ding in the whole car(body) and it's in the drivers's rear above the side marker. The bumpers don't need anything but rechrome or dirve the way they are, there is a ding in one of them I can't remember now, but think it's the front. The vinyl top needs replaced and it has the typical rot right under both corners of the windows. The only bondo that I could see was on the driver's inside door(door jutted out on the bottom just a scosh so I investigated). He had the car reshot from the febnders down all the way around. Trunk and hood still hold the original paint. It has the fender tag still in place and the motor was dirty and had some typical leaks normal for it's life, but it runs. New tires too. It passed a Maine inspection(last year, car hasn't been driven since jun2005, at least that's when the tags expired) which they don't give away when cars are this old.
This was a very straight original car and was happy to just see it. I'm not intersted in it but thought someone might be here.
If you have any more questions feel free to call him. His name is Terry Lewis, lives in gray maine, and his number is 207 657-7785 (i have his permission to post this)
I have included some pictures of the car(2 were corrupt on my disk when I returned home and they were,of course, the best ones so these are all I have left)
Feel free to ask me any questions and I will try to tell you everything I know.
here you go on the pictures, i hope this works.

That price seems pretty high to me but I don't know 3rd gen values very well.
I kept seeing a '69 here in Portland, Oregon about three years ago so I finally stopped in to ask about it. Some 40-year-old lady with a suspended license owned it and honestly believed it was worth $12k even though it was a 318 car and needed a total restoration. I kept stopping in to talk to her and finally convinced her it was worth about 1/3 what she was asking and found a guy on the old website who wanted to buy it. IIRC he picked it up for $4k or $5k and shipped back home to Nevada. I wish I could remember who it was that bought it so I could check in on the progress. It was pretty straight and solid for rust but the interior was hammered and it needed paint.
I paid $4500 for my '69 318 car that needed lots of help and felt good about what I paid for it.
Jim
I wish I could have got that deal, you did well, be proud. And what did you pay for that 68 again :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:
You are the master when it comes to gettin' the 2nd gens!!! :bow: :bow: :bow:
You must mean the '68. Well here it is. In the end it was $1K.

Nah, i meant the 68. i remembered what you paid, i was being a smart guy. guess it wasn't that funny. my bad
I can't remember the last time I saw a Charger on the road, as it's been that long. I have to wonder how many people end up talking about seeing my car on the road, as I drive it at least 3 times a week...
I can remember each time I saw a Charger in my adult life that was driving around, maybe twice, and saw a couple parked before, so four total, and I'm 37. Each time I drive near where I saw the one driving in downtown Seattle, I remember that, and I imagine driving my car around downtown Seattle, that inspires me to get my car on the road.
I saw a couple on the road when i went on holiday to colorado 10 years ago
seen loads at or near events in the UK, but never when theres nothing on, except when visiting mopar traders etc..
there are a few mopars in my home town, I know of a 69 roadrunner and 71 challenger, and i've seen a 72 roadrunner and a cuda around town in the past
best "in the wild" sighting i've had in th UK though is when we passed a superbird on the motorway once :icon_smile_cool:
Saw this car parked a ways down the street I live on last summer, didn't see it again til a couple weeks ago when the guy had his garage door open.
Today I saw him at Sev, asked about his car. Says he's had it twenty years. Told him about the site and he wanted me to write down the name, hopefully we'll see him around here.
He said he knows lots of Mopar guys with parts, etc. when I told him I have a '68 Charger, good deal.
This car has roll bar, chrome tunnel ram type thing sticking out of hood, not sure what type, huge nitrous tank where back seat would be. Car is lowered. Sounded awesome. Had to listen to him start it up and cruise out on the street, :icon_smile_big:
Here's a pic from the "wilds" of New Hampshire last week.
A 340 Duster, my 72 Charger, a 383 GTS Dart, a 70Hemi RR with on 44k miles.
that orange one above looks to be conciderably lightened, with the fiber glass front clip and no side markers or trim..
"dodgecharger.com who would need to write that down?..
saw one today at work, it was a 73 i think with the hide away lights, 440 i think, orange black stripe, black vynal roof, black interior, ive seen it a couple times, wonder who owns it!?
Saw one today while I was taking pictures of cows. I was a city block away so this is the best I got. Here's a pic of a cow too...
There is a guy just down the road from me who drives a 74 big block SE everyday. I have talked to him, not really into mopars said he just likes the car and can't afford a new one.
I saw 2 yesterday. I thought about stopping and talking to the guy but I really didn't have much to say except hey I have one of these can I check your cars out. Technically the first one was still in the guys driveway and he was installing something but it had a dealer plate on so it was going or had been somewhere. It was a sublime 1970 RT. Then I noticed he had another one sitting in the garage, a dark green 69?. Not one out in the wild. It looked to be in the middle of a restoration. I don't know if this guy is a member on here, the cars were located just outside London Ontario.
I never have a problem talking to someone about my cars. I live back on a culdasack so I don't get many stoppers, but I am sure the guy would have enjoyed talking to you about your cars.

Hey, saw him again today at gas station. Yup, you were right, 3300 lbs. he said. Got a couple pics of front, where's my camera,
Somebody brought a 72 Charger to our cruise night last night and I hadn't seen the car before. Unfortunately, I didn't get to look at it or talk to the owner because I foolishly brought my 6 year old with me and she drove me nuts before I got to the car and I had to bring her home. (not her fault, she didn't want to go in the first place and when I talked her into it, I promised if she wasn't having fun I'd bring her straight home)
Anyway, I'll find out something about the car I'm sure.
I have actually seen more of them in the wild overseas the I do over here anymore.
Ok, here are the pics, 3300 lbs, what is stock weight with 440? First pic shows stance a little better of car,
Well...I drive mine every day...... :icon_smile_big:
2 that I can remember, in 20 years of realy looking. not including car shows.
In 20 years you've only seen two out driving around?! Where do you live?
Belive it or not last weeend we saw A 1st gen comin' up in the rear view mirror, a 2nd gen in a driveway, and a third gen next to a barn. And all on the same cruz! Even the wife thought that was unusuall!
I saw a third gen at a auto repair shop about an hour ago.
I feel MorePwr's pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only Charger owner in the entire state. I do know where there are a couple more in the area, but mine is the ONLY one ever seen on the road. I've seen only one other '66 - '74 Charger "in the wild" in more than 5 years.
About two weeks ago while out driving my Charger, I happened to see a Li'l Red Express out and about. We both went ga-ga over each others rides and gave each other the big :2thumbs:
Around here, seeing any muscle mopar on the road is a treat, even though there is no shortage of classic rides. Unfortunately, they're mostly Chebbies :icon_smile_dead:
And they say Virginia is for lovers... ???

I REALLY wish people would stop following me around town, into parking lots, my house, trying to talk to me, cheer at me, race, or buy my car as I'm driving it.
Actually, I dig the attention so nevermind... ;)
Yeah, I was out in the "69 about 2 weeks ago and got a flat. :icon_smile_blackeye:
While I was on the side of the road someone stopped and asked if I wanted to sell it. ::)
My standard answer is $50,000.00 for the "69. :icon_smile_big:
That's the same answer the guy who followed me into the DQ a week ago got. :pity:
But it turned out he was a nice enough guy and in fact is mid-resto on a "70 R/T. :2thumbs:
Man, I can't wait till my "70 is back in the road. :yesnod:
I'll never forget the look on the face of the guy who followed into a McD's and asked me how much for my "70. :icon_smile_approve:
My answer... $1,000,000.00. :D
Love doin' that with a straight face. :devil:
Was out working on my 73 just yesterday in the driveway and looked up to see a 73 or 74 SE driving by on the highway. It was blue with a white top (vinyl removed but still had the louvers) and white interior. Had never seen it before, wondered if it was maybe a board member? I know the driver couldnt see me or my car since theres so many other cars around it at the moment, but I definately saw him go by. Im in central Iowa by the way.

In 20 years you've only seen two out driving around?! Where do you live?
Seattle
I thought there was a little hotbed of old Mopars up there in the Pacific northwest? That just doesn't seem right.
All you Seattle Charger owners start driving your cars more. Now.

I see a few at car shows, so I know they are here, so I agree, start driving em. I do see a fair share of nice Mopars just not any Chargers on the road...
i drive my black 73,almost everyday,and my wagon,but,here is one,not a charger,but bad enough,the owner says"i'm gonna rebuild it for my kid one day" that was about 5 years ago,and the car has sat there,in that spot,for over 15 years. i see this car when i drive by,at least once a week. 440/auto,buckets-buddy seat,column shift,pwr windows,p/s,p/b,discs,nice shape too,but NOT for sale,period. absolute shame................

Where'd you hear that, Ghoste? The Great NW is a friggin' "No Classic Mopar Zone" as far as I can tell. There's enough classic Chevys and Fords to reach the moon bumper to bumper but Mopar stuff up here is very hard to come by.
I saw a black 70 last summer and a few other since then but they were on the way to the local shows. The 70 was just out driving around on a weekday, it may have been someone from the base. Wright Patterson AFB.

Hey Bull, bumper to bumper brand X cars are like that right across the continent. It just seemed to me that there are a fair number of Charger owners on this site and the 66-67 site from that corner of the US.
Saw a mostly black primered 70 on the west side of Indy last night. Looked nice
with some big rear tires on it. Always fun t see em on the road :icon_smile_approve:
Well there's a '72 Charger in my high school parking lot this year.

I saw this one... ;)
funny the v. top is in good shape and the scallops are highlighted in black, sho is tow up tho... :icon_smile_sad:
WOW! Look at that drivers side front quarter!
Gotta love that though. I know I'll be running around town in my beater of a Charger soon!
That's pretty rough for an Alberta car(as the plate says). Good to see any Charger running, no matter what shape it's in. Talking about shape, I'm not impressed with the B.S. repairs I've been finding on mine since I started dismantling it. The drivetrain is out and most of the front end. Just working one last fender bolt. Pictures soon.
I looked out my bedroom window and saw a '74 rallye in my driveway. I snapped a pic before it could get away!
Saw this in downtown Seattle maybe ten days ago, don't know if it was the shop owner's car or if it was there to be worked on for a customer,was a body shop of some kind, if you are trying to find a fixer upper '69 around Seattle, maybe call him up and ask him if its for sale, I don't know.

I see dozens every year but only if I go to a couple car shows. Otherwise I rarely see them at all just out in public rolling down the street. The last time I saw a 2nd gen Charger it was a '68 turning at a stop sign about 1/2 mile from my house, and that was over two years ago. Since that time I've seen one third gen Charger and that was probably 10 months ago. I just never see them. Is it the area in which I live? Do some of you in other parts of the country or world see classic Chargers more frequently?
You should be up here in Washington State going up and down highway 9 in Snohomish county. I see all kinds of classic cars and motorcycles running up and down that stretch of highway all the time. Especially me. :icon_smile_approve:
It's basically turned into the weekend cruising road anymore. :yesnod:

Really? I guess it seems that way to people on the outside, just like I assume most of the Chargers are in California or out east. I see 3rd gens more often than 1st or 2nd gens here in Portland and I don't think I've ever seen a 1st gen just driving down the street during the 14-some-odd years I've lived in the Portland area. Seattle might be better but I don't get up there much.

Hey, good call getting the phone number in the pic. :icon_smile_cool: Doesn't look to me like B&B is in too much of a hurry to get that thing streetable. At least someone ripped the vinyl off so that Seattle liquid sunshine doesn't ruin the roof.
You're probably right, it always seems different to someone else. You'll just have to be ready to accept that you're going to be famous once your 68 hits the highway then.
BTW, maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, within the last two weeks I've seen a 68, a 69, and a 73 all out "in the wild".
The last day of the puyallup fair I saw a 3rd gen and driving thru Roy WA yesterday I saw a 1st gen and last week I saw a daytona clone( not done ) at the MeKenna Y But the nice days are going away along with the cars.
There are 3 Chargers I see around here on the road my '68, a triple green '69 383 A/C that belongs to my former 8th grade teacher who bought it new, and a burgandy '69 with a white vinyl top that I've seen once or twice. There is a guy that lives close by that has a warehouse full of MoPars but he never drives them. What a waste :icon_smile_sad:

Huh? On an average summer in Washington I usually see probably two Roadrunners, two Chargers - in addition to my '66 - and a whole bunch of Darts ('65s to '69s) in Tacoma.
And then there are all the folks out in Spanaway and Puyallup. There are all sorts of Mopars in Pierce county.
I thought that surely I owned the only white 3rd gen in the small city of Lawrenceville Ga. but I recently saw another parked in front of the local transmission place, (belong to anyone here?). Then later that same day I saw a dark green one in the movie theater parking lot. It's very rare to saw a 66-67. I see 2nd gens occasionally.
Been driving the new (to me) 70 beast to work and back....Hell aren't they made for that? Monday it's to the body shop
for the rust repair...So it's back to the 70 swinger...Or maybe I can get my 383 from the shop and then it
s back to the 69 GT Dart 4 speed ;)
Saw a 68 dart today with a 383 and then a few minutes later I got passed by a diablo! Sorry my ugly mug made it into the picture. It was the best my wife could do at 45mph. My wife still had the camera out when I saw the lambo in my rearview.
I've been seeing a maroon and white '73 or '74 (SE?) running around here, it had the bumperettes on it with the regular headlights (no hideaways..)
EDIT: there's two General Lee's as well, one's a '69 and one's a '68
Well, there's a 69 General Lee that I can see it as often as I want, (not mine) it lives and works just a couple miles from me. I see lots of 3rd gens tho, most in rough shape. When i was at my 69's first show a few weeks ago, there was a discussion I overheard that went something like this... 1st guy " well its a toss up between this car (my charger) and that blue mustang" 2nd guy "R u kidding me?! how many mustangs we see today? lots! and how many Chargers? Umm one!!!" That pretty much sums up how it is around here. :rotz:
The northwest was awesome to see classic cars at. Around my parents house in Springfield OR. I can see all kinds, even a 69 383 Auto just around the corner.(IF i had the money I'd see if she'd sell it to me because its in aweseom shape) Seen a few superbirds on I-5 a few times. Springfield and Eugene OR are Chevy country though dpn't see to many mopars until the Mopar Show at Lane Community College.
Then I moved to El paso thinking with all of the lack of rust I would see a tonof cars or all types. I've seen three chargers in 2 years. One of them was a 68 R/T leaving the DMV, probably saw me gawking so he put down a nice patch as he left. That was 2 years ago though. Only see them at shows anymore.
Saw a sweeet 71 Plum Charger on Saturday on Dixie Highway in Erlanger KY.
I was in my Jeep GC, and switched places etc a few times, and had a good look over while it was driving.
Nice plate too !!!
I only recall seeing a 1st gen Charger "in the wild" at a 50's style diner my girlfriend and I went to shortly after we started dating (which was 4 years ago).
Since then, I have never seen one, aside from Chryslers at Carlisle..but that doesn't really count :)
Other than that, you can't turn around in this town without bumping into a Mustang or Camaro (pick a year, it doesn't matter..they're everywhere :p )
I look forward to getting my Charger on the road..this town could use something a little unique out on the cruisin' circuit :)
in my hometown I have the only Charger(68) and I was also the only true muscle car in high school.............. my buddy's 82 Camaro and 82 Trans-Am which both had 305's and automatics were gutless and dont deserve the name of muscle car. In Bismarck,ND where I go to college I see NO Chargers but I do see a copper colored 71 RoadRunner with a 383 and auto on the floor. There is also a beat up and rotting 70 RoadRunner with a 440 and 4 speed.
i saw a orange with white hat 70 over the weekend,and my wife saw a black 72 se friday-from a long way away she thought i skipped work,but i am proud that she knew what she was seeing! :icon_smile_big:
This past friday on some land near my house...

Okay...this seems to be a really hot topic. Here's my question. Am I wrong for driving my '69 every day? I drive it to work, rehearsals, and everywhere else!!! I just can't fathom owning a car like this without driving it and enjoying it....I mean...if it sits in a garage somewhere...what's the point in owning it?
You are absolutely NOT wrong and you should be commended for it!
i think your on the wrong thread,..
this one is for sightings of other chargers out on the street, not posting pics of our own cars...
the one you wanna post on is "I'm Guilty".. or maybe "Gotta' pic of your Charger : Post Up" :police:
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,19264.0.html
There is that. But still thumbs up for driving it. ;D
Oh...I totally understand that.....I'm just saying since the topic is "when was the last time....." it's obviously something that is rare and you don't see too often. I'm not referring to my own car, I'm just saying since it's not an everyday occurence...should I not be driving mine as often as I do.....even though I'm going to no matter what....I just wanted some feedback on it and personal thoughts of others. Now...if it was a totally mint Daytona..(yeah right) no...I'd only drive that on a rare occasion because of its worth and the rarity of that piece of muscle car history. How many people here drive theirs daily? Or should that be a new thread. Hey!!! I'll start a new thread!!!!...lol
Mine is pretty much the only one I see on the road around here.
I saw a mauve '70 on Highway # 6 near Caledonia, ON on the way to the farm a couple of weeks back.
I have seen it around before, but never up close.
I also saw a dark green '69 go by the farm that same weekend.
Forgot to put this in, saw TK73's Charger last late winter/early spring? in Lynwood,
mopars is the street???? where????
Snapped this photo about six years ago in Olympia.
I keep driving mine around so others can see it. I get lots of people taking cell-phone pictures and I keep looking for them to show up here one day. So far, nothing. :icon_smile_dissapprove:
I can't tell you where they have all disappeared to, but I have seen a 66, a 69, and a third gen with in the last seven days in Kent WA.
Don't see too many in my neck of the woods either, except for mine, which I drive as often as I can. I see many other makes/models, but not many Mopars or Chargers.
Seen a black and white '71-'72 Challenger R/T last week and a red '73 Challenger Monday. Not a '66-'74 Charger but a MoPar none the less.
Man Seatlle that's a funky 500! :icon_smile_big:
these count?.. :icon_smile_wink:
big pic ;)
nice color eh?. :yesnod:
when i was 12 i had a 1968 Firebird model i painted this color... but i digress..
:yesnod:
I always seem to see mopars in the wild when I'm actually driving my Charger. It's weird, kinda like they're attracted to one another...
me I always come across everyone's slow small block Camaro's and Mustangs (nice cars and all that but they dont have a chance again a 383) I have a buddy that hardly drives his supercharged,port &polished,deep gears 440,automatic powered 68 Charger. Another guy in the area drives his plum crazy 70 440,4 speed(no console). A nother buddy drives his 72 Charger with a 318,auto with console, jacked up rear end and a 69 R/T stripe....... black stripe with dark blue paint.

Gonna be seeing more of that beater in S. Seattle after the end of this month :icon_smile_big:
Saw a 70 500 being pulled out of a ratty garage this week.I know it's not for sale. I think the guy pulled it out to make sure the garage didn't fall on it. Saw it once this summer out on a back road.Don't see a lot mopars around here-chevy/ford country(not for me).
Saw a 73? , sry couldn't identify the year, on I-90 today, was light blue, fender well rust, looked like a midwest car,
Stopped at a shopping center in Manchester NH this am and an elderly woman drove into the parking lot is a bronze 73 SE. Original owner, survivor. Very clean aside from a dime size hole on top he the passenger fender.
Took my son to a out of town hockey tournament this weekend and saw this barn fresh 74 sitting on the side of the main road, hope the tow chain attached didn't mean it was headed for National Mopar "wreckers" about 20 miles away.
What spoiler is that?
I saw a blue with white top white stripe 68 about a month ago drive past my house just as i started to clean the garage so I can work on mine, talk about a motivator. Wednesday before thanksgiving on my way to work i saw an orange with white top white stripe 69. Both were near Blue Springs, MO.
I live 30 miles East of Cleveland. It was so nice out after Thanksgiving that I decided to take a street bike ride. I saw 3, 3rd gens in the wild, about 10 miles from where I live. It was an amazing site. Wish I could have caught one !
BMOTOXSTAR
You better have at least 1800 cc's on that bike or you'll never catch a Charger :drive: :nana:
Seen a green 73 in a driveway on Sunday. Pass that area once or twice a week and never seen it there before. A visitor? But it was obviously a daily/psuedo-daily driver car.
Also on Monday I saw a 1973 Dart and 10 minutes later a 1968 Dart. All three of these cars I have never seen before. Again visitors or newly acquired purchases?
6pkrunner, are you in Halifax by any chance?
I saw a real nice purple '70 Challenger convertible yesterday. Driving around in the rain. :rotz:

When/where did you shoot that? It reminds me of the time I went up to the DC.com meet in Washington a few years back with Dane in his red Daytona clone. People were freaking out, taking pictures and following us around like we were celebrities.
There's a 71 or 72 charger I see parked up on a hill everytime I head out on the highway. I'll have to snap a picture one of these days...

In PA on I-70 in '04. We were coming back from the NATS and I guess this guy was too...I thought it was funny we were taking picutes of him while he was taking pictures of us
That's cool. Do they typically have the fender thingies the same color as the wing? I thought they were usually body color.
Wasn't a Charger, but saw a '67 Coronet 500 2 dr. Sat. night, for sale, 383 column shift AT, white with maroon interior, rallye wheels, asking 3500, don't know what these are worth, pretty cool though.
Saw this nice 3rd gen., had mirrored headlight covers, car was in really nice shape, just bad cell phone qual. pic and through windshield.
was on 90 westbound near bridge,
The only one I've seen lately is a 66-67 charger sitting out in a field on a back road. I'm gonna get to picture before I move.
- Scott
here are a couple around these parts I've seen. first is a '70 that the guy actually drives around alot...he's a parts driver for Napa (to the best of my knowledge) and drives the charger on the job some days. next, a plymouth waiting in a body shop yard, and then a '68 that I saw at a shop when I was at lake Tahoe a while back.
I know where there is a 70 R/T sitting in a field in front of this guy's house and he claims that he and his brother are working on it but it has not moved in at least 5 yrs. It is a complete car in a faded brownish color. has the R/T emblems all over it and look slike it would be killer if he would put the engine back in and take 'er for a spin..... I asked if it was for sale...it is not of course... :brickwall:
That's okay, the rain will fix it up just fine.
I saw a '68 and two '69s today at a guy's house in SE Portland. Only one of the '69s is road-worthy.
i saw a 69 charger today. I tried following the guy and he floored it!! I guess he must be used to people doing that..
That blue '70 R/T up there looks like it has a trick fogged paint job, probably an illusion but still looks awfully COOL! :yesnod:

I'm pretty sure that's this same guy. Didn't know he worked at Napa though, I don't get to that area very often.

I headed out on vacation this week from Chattanooga----destination, Biltmore Estate in Asheville. I was on I-40 east of Knoxville around Strawberry Plains Tuesday when I looked in the drivers side rearview mirror and about a 1/4 mile back instantly spotted a 69 Charger. One of the few I have ever seen in the wild. It was dark green with white vinyl top. Did not appear to be restored. I was going 70 on the interstate and it continued past me. I matched it's speed and found it was going about 80 mph. I followed in the right most lane and back about 50 yards. Sure was neat to see this car running down the interstate. I looked around and all the other cars looked just like mine----inverted jelly mould non-descript Japanese cars. These Chargers really stand out in a crowd. It peeled off at the start of I-81. Does this car belong to anyone on this forum?
We went on a little road trip this morning to a fresh produce market about an hour south of here, on the way back home I saw a '72 Charger setting out beside an old garage. I tried to get dad to stop but he didnt want to. It was pretty rusty from what I could tell from riding by. I also saw a 66 Coronet for sale at a small used car lot. I didnt have my camera or I would have snapped a few pics.

Think I saw the same car today on 145th Street in North Seattle... ???
Does this Count? In Ohio Actually not wild Just in Backyard..
Seen a Copper/Bronze Coronet Convertable today. Didnt get a chance to take a picture, was driving to a meeting. Hardly ever see any sweet Mopars around here, almost made me wreck my car.
I got followed yesterday by a nice gunmetal grey 3rd generation. He was an old fart like me wearing a suit and tie. If it would have been an hour earlier, I would have been in my '68. That would have been kinda cool. Also have seen a dark blue '68 parked in front of a mechanics shop on two different days now. Bob
We need more pics

Hey, I see you have 500 horsepower 440 with the hp exhaust manifolds? that is great to see, I really have wanted to use hp exhaust manifolds on rebuild, but wasnt' sure how much hp the engine would be good for with a special build with those manifolds. What were the internal parts that had to be upgrades to get that hp? I got good help from firefighter and/or chryco and maybe someone else about getting the engle K58 cam but having the 110 degree spec changed to 112 to help with the exhaust with the hp's. I managed to get my hands on a steel crank, didn't want to spend dough on aluminum heads, can you pm me a little about your build, please?
thanks, Nate

couple more.. :2thumbs:
i see i posted the same pic twice,. :brickwall: well,.. here is what was supposed to go there...
and a bonus charger.. "Chargers Gone Wild!!" :scratchchin: :lol:
:scratchchin: ...what's a patina... :smilielol:
I was back in the U.S. for a few weeks (end of May, beginning of June) and had to use my '71 as a daily driver because I'd shipped my Jeep overseas. While driving past the Merchant's Tire store on Rt. 40 in Frederick, MD, I saw a sublime '72 on the rack. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop at the time and never saw it again. I have a neighbor in the states with a '73 Rallye he bought new, so I see his quite a bit when I'm home.
My son spotted one in La Plata, Maryland yesterday afternoon on Rt 301. We were on our way home and he yells out "Look! A Charger!" Well, I didn't really pay that much attention because he's always calling out the new one's. When I finally glanced over, imagine my suprise to see a dark green '68 sporting R/T badges and fat tires. Too bad I couldn't get a picture of it. She looked good!
:2thumbs:
Heres my '67, well it was mine till today. Sold it for 4 grand, then tore up the check and gave him the car to one of my best friends. He deserves it more than I do right now. I have a Dart anyways I'm restoring. I'm buying a 340 Duster as well soon again.

Dad and I were at the gas station in the Charger when he smacked me in the back of the head and said hey look at that. I turned around and I'll be damned it was an orange Superbird with white "Plymouth" lettering and a black vinyl top going down Fayetteville St. on the south side of Asheboro N.C. I was hoping he would turn around and come back to get some gas or something but he never did. I didnt have my camera but I think from now on I'll be bringing it with me everywhere I go. I also spotted a red '71-'72 Challenger, a '71 Swinger, '76 Volare, and a triple green '69 Charger earlier this afternoon.
I've noticed this thread gets a lot more active in the summertime. :scratchchin: ;)

Heres my '67, well it was mine till today. Sold it for 4 grand, then tore up the check and gave him the car to one of my best friends. He deserves it more than I do right now. I have a Dart anyways I'm restoring. I'm buying a 340 Duster as well soon again.
Mark
Mighty generous of you. :musik010:
I see a 68 in the "wild" everytime I go to my grandmas :lol:

Your one stand up guy, Mark!!!!
Thanks guys, but I'm not looking for a pat on the back anywhere. My buddy is an older guy, been around and had some awesome mopars in his day. Back in the late 60's and early 70's, he owned a few Hemi cars, 440 6 pak and others, he doesn't have the funds like he used to to buy a true muscle car like he used to own. He told me stories of how Hemi cars back then were real cheap, he bought a '70 Hemi cuda for $1800.00 modified it some and wrecked it bad, I looked at photos he has, man, what a trip to look at what he had. He has a '67 440 also for the charger to install, he said he wants to go fast one last time before he passes on, that part I hate hearing about, so giving him the car, which I bought for $500.00 is a deal to me.

That is a really nice story. I'm happy to hear that a person like you, that has had his share of medical problems lately, can give someone a car that will mean alot to them. I think the good karma gods are watching :coolgleamA:
I agree. You will be rewarded :angel: :angel: :angel:
:scratchchin:
these count?..
bought this at a yard sale today for a buck,.. now i got sumpthin to do on my... err,.. "Vacation"..
just saw this one a couple of weeks ago on I-77 headed into Charlotte nc... anybody's here?
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s12/Chargen69/inthewild.jpg)
Alright, today I was totally excited!!!! I saw this really sweet r4 red 68 charger with a black vinyl top and tinted windows. It had american racing outlaws and it was in Warwick, RI. I think this is the first time i've seen a charger in the wild in this area. Does somebody on this site own it? I didn't have my cam, but I think I know where he lives and will snap some friday
I saw a light blue '69 two or three years ago, but thats it.
I saw a while 68 Coronet last night
Also saw an AAR cuda. :drool5:And i live in not that big of a town.
Pic's man pic's please. :cheers:

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who drives a old 74 Mopar that looks like this. :lol: Funny, I drove my 74 to work the other day. I work at Advance Auto. I had also brought my Charger to a cruise at Advance Auto.
I managed to take a few pics of this "wild" beast during our Labor Day Weekend!! Does this belong to anyone here?

Wow! Nice looking '69.
Love black cherry cars.
I saw two chargers in the wild on the same day.
I was driving from LA to the Ventura County fair in the beginning of August. We stopped for some Burger King and there was a GL at a tire/front end shop in Calabasses. Then when I was looking for a parking spot in downtown Ventura near the fair, there was a red 69 in the parking lot.
Other then these two, its been a while and I live in a very densely populated area and do a lot of driving for work (about 35K a year). Then again, even at the car shows/swap meets I've been to lately, there are not that many Mopars!
I'm putting my camera in the car right now!
I also spotted a white '68 Charger about a month ago while I was in Roswell. There is also a green or teal colored '72-'73 Charger that belongs to a Roswell local.
The '69 I took pictures of was spotted by my wife. I nearly jumped out of the driver's seat as she shouted, "Isn't that a '69 Charger!" I was driving so I wasn't paying too much attention until I saw it. These pics really don't do the car any justice. Also, in the sunlight, the car looked to be more of a deep purple color. Kinda reminded me of that purple that some of the Prowlers have been painted. Anyhow, it was a nice car.
very nice ! ya don't usually see them in that color or with tinted windows either... great catch :yesnod:
Mine cruises around Junction City KS every day of the week.
After reading this thread I put my camera in the car and to my surprise, I got two today!
The 1st gen was driving on the 605 in So Cal during rush hour...belong to anyone on here?
The 3rd gen was for sale at the bumper shop when I went to pick up my bumper...listed in the for sale section
Update today I saw a B7 1st gen on the 10 freeway at the 30 freeway today. Wow two in two days...looking forward to tomorrow.
That 67 looks cool with those wheels.
and that 73 has a cool paint job, looks like TK73's car, same wheels, cept for his paint job
There was a white 66 cruising around last Thursday night and a yellow 69 in town last Saturday but I didn't get pics of either. I think I recognized who was driving the 69 though so I will be trying to track that one down.
A bright yellow 70 RT with torque thrust D's on it this past sunday, it looked solid but was most definitely a work in progress.
Saw an SS-1 Yellow '68 with a black vinyl top tonight at the last Cruisin' Grand for the season in Escondido, CA. Looks like an original black plate CA car. Nice car, but unfortunately the owner wasn't around to talk to about it.
Today Hubby and I saw a 69 Charger driving thru a nearby town..all white car...looked nice..too bad we didn't have a camera....
I saw this '74 in Altoona PA back in August. It looked like a really clean car.
Sorry for the blurry pics, but we were moving.
Uno Mas.
Went to Vancouver and I saw a '74 Charger. Sitting on a street parked. Saw it from a block away, didnt have a camera though. It was green with a black vinyl top. Also had hubcaps. Looked like a survivor
Going south on the Parkway today, and out of the blue I see this cream puff. This thing looked completely original (paint wise). Super dark blue, had an old timer driving, which makes me think he has owned this thing since new or at least 25 years. It's even got regular plates on it, which means he goes to inspection every year. :o
I gotta give this guy props. I'll bet every time he stops, he has some guy begging to buy it just so they can make a quick buck. Nice to see one like this every 30 years. Around here I don't even see '75 Darts. Even cars from the early 80's are scarce around here.
Wow! Now there's some real time proof.
You know, for some reason I thought you were in one of thsoe regions that had just been hammered with the snow?
wow that is amazing to see. especially in december in new jersey.. did he have 5 people in the car, are his shocks worn out, or did he have dead bodies in the trunk? was dark blue an option in 68? i don't know if i've ever seen one
trav
Ghoste, we usually get the bottom half of what hits MA pretty hard. We did get a few inches last week, but rain and 40 degree temps the last few days took care of that. I have a feeling that this car goes out rain/snow or shine. :2thumbs:
Trav, I think it's a CC1 paint color. It's probably sagging because that's how they look after 39 years of driving. :yesnod: That thing probably has 250K on it. Even the license plate light works. Can't even say that on some restored cars. ;)

WAY TO GO... FULL VINYL TOP ON A 73/74!!!!!! sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet... that's how should it be! I maybe just would try to trim out a little bit lower the lower C pillar molding section. Mostly sure used a 71/72 donor trim
When the MOPAR CREW gets together here in PA we have
(2) - 68 Charger's 1-Red & 1-White
(1) - 69 Red,
(1) 71 Challenger Green,
(1) - 68 Dart Sublime.
Wow do we ever get attnetion, people stop in there tracks, freaks them out all this muscle cruisin together.
I like this thread, any more?
Last Summer...saw this is Syracuse on a random drive through the city.....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/dacko_3/WWII%20Folder/0531071619.jpg)
Then I saw this in the fall of 2006 - while running across Kansas, just inside St. Joseph, Missouri.....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/dacko_3/WWII%20Folder/1001061520a.jpg)
Here's a couple out off of West 6th Avenue near Lakewood, CO. Both cars run. The 'bird shall sit as long as it takes, but he might fix it up for his daughter. The Charger has a 383 HP/727/console and a near-mint interior with white '68 buckets with headrests. He admits that he will never get around to fixing it and of course (at the time) will never sell it. He also has a completely rebuilt 440 Six Pack engine sitting outside by his garage covered with a plastic tarp. At least he keeps his riding mower in there - sigh....

Same here. We have alot of nice places in my area. One place is Cowichan Bay, its a little seaside bay right on the water. Around 7pm in the summer, the sun started to set and it looks beautiful. Last summer I was having fish and chips down there and just as the sun was setting, a bunch of Mopars rolled through. There was a yellow 70 Challenger RT, copper 69 Dart GTS, 2- 68 Roadrunners and a 68? Cuda. I'll be joined them soon :icon_smile_big:
I saw a beautiful B5 blue 1970 in Tallahassee this summer, coming out of the Florida State campus, actually. Anyone's here?
Not a Charger but today, I was at band practice and I came out of the band room into the living room at my friends house and I look out the window to see a '69 Roadrunner sitting across the street :o. I ran outside to hear what it sounded like and it sounded sweet. It was a teal blue with black/teal interior and a 383. Really nice car. My friend said the guy just finished restoring it a year ago. He pulled it out of the garage today, pulled out on the street, took alot of pics of it and stuck it back in
Saw a 74 SE yesterday drive by yesterday, but ive seen it before. In fact, I sold the last owner the hood, doors, and who knows how many other parts that are on the car now. One of these days i'll catch up with the new owner. Probably this summer.
Back around Christmas, I went to a friends housewarming party, and spotted a 69 sitting in a driveway. And there was that hail damaged 70 I found a couple years ago.
Saw a couple of Challanger T/A's last week that a customer was restoring (storing?) in his driveway and garage. The white one in the driveway was a bit rusty and of need of TLC, while the plum one under cover in the garage was a nice example of a driver. I asked his wife if was he was looking to sell...and she said "not a chance in hell". :icon_smile_big: I'm not surprised. Downtown San Jose, by the way. And yes, don't ask for detailed directions. :D

I actually saw two today in Panama City, Florida. It's been a while since I've seen any. The first one I saw was a yellow '68 and later on in the day I spotted a red '67 in the same parking lot of the mall I was at. I also spotted a purple '68 Road Runner with a lift off hood in a used car lot. I'm gonna call about it on Monday :yesnod:
I know. Its not a charger, But it is a HEMI challenger R/T SE. Also there is a 72 factory 440 sun roof car in the background. Don't know anything about the chally other than its a real R/T SE but not shore about R code.(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h4/Jeremymacdonald/100_3284.jpg) (http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h4/Jeremymacdonald/100_3285.jpg)
Wow :o :o :o
That sure is one purty Chally! :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:
yesterday, at a boat shop. It was a 70 charger 440 4 speed painted plum crazy purple. It was for sale for 7,500. I could of bought it but when they called me i thought it would be a piece of crap for 7,500. Holy S##T i was wrong. Almost every thing was restored even though it was an R/T clone. This will haunt me for the rest of the year, a great loss. :brickwall:

Would you have been in Tallahassee this past August? See the previous page of this thread - the car I saw at FSU in August 07 looks suspiciously like the one in your signature.
Here are a few shots of two third gen Chargers I saw a while back. I took the camera along today because I was hunting for this elusive 2nd gen Charger that I was told about. I have yet to find it, but hopefully soon. The other is of this Barracuda that has been sitting under this carport for the longest time. I tried leaving a note but no luck. I also wanted to take pics of this Challenger, but someone was outside in the yard so I didn't want to snap a pic. The neighborhood where these cars were at aren't the best to be cruising and taking pics thus the reason for the "bad" pics.

Thats a 73 or 74, not a 72 ;)
i saw a 1970 with a 440 about a month ago and i made my mom try and keep up with it haha didnt last for long. Also, by my church, some guy has a perfectly restored white 68. Its his daily driver too. I think it has a 440 aswell.

The white one? The rear windows of the car say it is a 73 or 74 as does the halo style vinyl top. Also, the vents on the hood near the cowl are 73 style.
Heres a few pics for comparison:
1972 (notice the rear windows):

saw a white 70 charger going east on highway 94 today. i wondered if it was one of you.
My brother snapped these for me yesterday. Just west of Toronto.
Hemi badges! :coolgleamA:
That is early to be out ,even for Toronto. Car does look familiar, Except my engine is still on the engine stand.

I saw these two sitting next to an auto repair shop in southeast Portland today while taking my radiator in to be rebuilt. Sorry about the streaks in the pictures, it was raining (as usual).

Barracuda's a 67 fastback. Shame that she's just wasting away.
found the elusive '68, but not for sale because the owner is going to fix it one day. also found two challengers, but again, owners are going to fix the cars one day. ::)
I found a '68 over by my buddies house one day. It was sitting on a concrete slab under a tree. It looked fairly decent, it was an MM1 car. I think it sat that for a year before I finally decided I'd go up and ask about it. Sure enough the day I finally did they had sold their house and had already moved the car :brickwall: .
I also found another '68 right down the road from that one. It was an SS1 R/T car that the guy had just bought off eBay. He said he didn't want it any more because he had just bought an old Road Runner. It had a mild 440 and just a little surface rust in a few spots. Offered the guy $10k (this was when you could still get a decent Charger for $10k) but he said nope. He had paid $15k initially and wasn't going to take a loss (he definitely got screwed). He must have sold it and the Road Runner becuase I haven't seen either in 4 years.
here in az....
traveling for business today i snapped a pic of this--
another
going to try and purchase this one..
a few months ago-and the only other charger besides mine i've seen around here.
:(
i was leaving the parking lot when i spotted a dark red '69 charger, there was an open spot right in front of it-which was strange, given that this was french quarter new orleans. so i parked real fast and checked it out!
i wonder who it belongs to, i was rushed for time but still managed to take a few quick pics. should have thought to write a note for whoever owns that sweet '69!
over here it's mustangs and mustangs and mustangs...every now and again you see some chevy cars, camaros, novas and chevelles. a monte carlo here and there. as far as mopars, i know a couple of dudes still working on a '72 duster and i've seen a black 'cuda, as well as a plum crazy challenger but only once-and naturally, when i had seen those two cars, i wasn't riding in my charger.
'73, '69!

It's nice to have friends like that.
So i'm working on the oval track car at my friend's house last night like i've done all winter every tuesday and wednesday night...
There are usually quite a few of the crew members there who have all known each other and lived in the area for years.
I'm with my buddy Rob who stops by my house everyday on his way home from work and usually will drop me off there and my other friend Pat usually takes me home when we are done working on the car cause he is living here for the time being. Mind you I see these people almost everyday.
Get to the point,right, I hear you all.
So as most know I wrecked my 69 a few weeks ago and I'm starting to look for some parts to get him back on the road again.
I walk in the shop last night and the owner Gene(oval track guy) right off the bat says, hey Mikey, I seen this R/T today while riding my bike, it's just down the road and looks like it's been sitting for many years amongst a bunch of other junk cars. Understand to non Mopar guys like Gene, everything is an R/T and every 2nd generation looks like the other. But still at least he's looking for me.
This is the funny(not so funny) part.
One by one, every guy in the shop speaks up and goes yeah it's right down the road and it's been there for years and the kicker was.... my best friend Rob whom I see every day and have known him and his family for 17 years(i'm his youngest girls godfather for christ sake) says oh yeah that's been there forever. HELLO!
4 of the guys knew the owner as well :o
So off we go to look at it and sure enough it's right down the street near my friend Rob's house and as we cruise by I expect it to be hidden pretty well, nope, it's right by the road sitting on what looks to be an old snowmobile trailer.
It turns out it's a 1970, so no luck there for parts and the first 2 of the vin are XH so no R/T. I didn't look at it too long but she didn't look so well. no stock interior to speak of except the instrument cluster, it's blue with a peeling black vinyl top, typical rot in all the right places, couldn't see the frame rails the way it was parked and didn't feel like getting ticks on me so I didn't dive. doors and fenders might be saved, decklid was real nice(all I could see was the topside) hood was ok, no drive train, front valance no good but the right amber light was good.
The bumper and the grille looked mint to me! Best part of the car.
Rob took pics with his cell phone from the road and I just emailed him to ask him to send and will post if they come through.
The barn/garage is lifeless, and the owner supposedly lives in Auburn about 40 minutes away so i don't know when any of my friends will see him to ask if it's for sale but they swear he's one of those guys who doesn't know what it's worth. I find that hard to believe but hey.....
Anyway, if I do somehow get info on this car and it is for sale i will post it up here immediately for anyone who is interested. I am not interested due to the fact that I don't have the money to buy it and am not looking to get it and flip it for profit or sell parts to make money from anyone on this site. I just assume give everything away that I have if someone needs it.
Once again, I don't know if this information will come but I will keep my ears open.
Hopefully pics today, if not I'll have to take my digital and get them myself.

Rob took one picture of the car and just sent it to me.
But now you know it's real.

Does it have R/T emblems on it? It almost looks like it might in that picture. Might explain why your friends would make the honest mistake :shruggy:
That grill and bumper do look good. I'll bet there are a bunch of guys that would love to have those!
Yes I forgot to say that about the R/T emblem which was put on the grille.
It's actually kind of an inside joke with me on the whole R/T thing with my friends. They are all Chevy hounds.
Good catch though. :2thumbs:

Is it just me? Or the angle of the picutre? But it looks like the car might be twisted a bit? The level of the bumper doesn't seem to match the level of the roof?
What did the hood and fenders look like? Might be a good front clip for a Daytona clone project :scratchchin:
two daytona's stretching there legs last sunday
another one in az
It was hard to get a good shot of it, but I came across a '68 today.
Hmm :scratchchin:. Two in a row from Arizona.

Geez, :slap: sorry for the late response Dave. It might be the picture angle, next time I go by I'll look harder. Fenders weren't terrible from what I remember just need some rust repair. The hood was in decent shape externally but didn't look underneath.
still haven't heard if it's for sale or what yet, and i don't anticipate that coming too soon.

No problem Mike. I was really just window shopping anyway. I've got 5 grand tied up in a new engine that has yet to fire so I need to finish that first :eyes:
Thanks though!
Heres another one I know of. I was running an errand by there and thought I'd get a picture for you guys.
(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o252/SportSatellite383/Cooper.jpg)
Saw this one in Morristown, NJ last fall and I believe I saw it again at Englishtown today

That one looks like it's in pretty decent shape.
I saw a yellow '71 Challenger R/T going down the street a few days ago. But then the weather is getting pretty nice now so that won't be so rare a sight in the next few months.
Amazingly I saw 2(!!!!!!!) Chargers roaming the streets today. 3rd gens even. :D First was a 73/74 SE with the top and louvers removed. It was a reddish brown. Passed going the other way on the 4 lane so I didnt get a great look at it. Next was a cream colored 72 with a bulge hood. The guy had it at the parts store with the hood up. I was too busy to stop but he was still there on my way back about 1/2 hour later so he may have been having problems with it. Both cars were obviously projects but it was still cool. 2 in one day!
Just got back from a week in St. Lucia. Guess what I found? Nothing else on that island even remotely close to it. Mostly Toyotas and the like. Right hand drive on the other side of the road. (that took some getting used to, as it's too easy to clip locals, all of the feral dogs, chickens, and goats). This one remained traditional left hand drive. It is an SE, and I believe it's a 71. It's a 318, 2bbl that has been taken apart with its water pump residing in the passenger seat. I couldn't get an engine shot because the underhood webbing rusted off and it wouldn't stay up. The Caribbean salt air has finished this car, as it's a true Flinstone. Fred would be proud. At least this Charger passed on in a tropical paradise.
Can I please use that pic for my site? :)
Btw, judging by the grille...its either a 73 or 74
Use away. Thanks for the correction. I guess I don't look too hard at 3rd gens - no offense to anyone...
Never see them around here except at shows or cruise-ins, and even then they are pretty rare. I did see one in a guys driveway last year up in New York when I was taking my daughter to church camp.
ok, so we should have a "cool cars in the wild" thread because i haven't seen any other chargers again but a few days ago while hanging out with a friend and taking pics in new orleans, we stumbled upon this plymouth fury.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/enigmatism/IMG_5969w.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/enigmatism/IMG_5977w.jpg)
also saw a 68 camaro but didn't get a chance to take pics of it. there was also a 60s mustang nearby...but it was pretty cool having all these cars + my 73 charger all near each other!
Saw one sitting in a run down barn just near me. BUT IT IS A FIRST GEN! :RantExplode: :brickwall:
I had a good Charger spotting day yesterday. Took a ride down to Columbus Indiana in the GL and saw a 1968 Charger black with red stripe. Passed througha car show and saw a 1969 Charger in black with all sorts of street racing mods. Then on the way home saw a 1969 flat black Charger 318 car. Three Chargers in one day and all were black.
Saw a pale yellow 66 last night in a local bar and grille parking lot. Of course I didn't have a camera which kind of pissed me off because the guy had removed all of the upper trim from the fenders, doors, and 1/4's and smoothed over the pinch welds.
Saw a third gen over at my friends house on Saturday and a 68, two 69s, and 1 or 2 other 2nd gen chargers I couldn't identify in the palmdale/little rock area, all in some guys yard. I tried to get pictures but all I had was my camera phone. Ill be going out there again today though so Ill try to remember to take the video camera since it has the best zoom. I still have yet to see a 68 driving though.
Saw a black '69 driving around today at lunch in West Allis, WI. Looked ok from a distance, anyone know it?
Update on that 70 charger I saw a while ago(few posts up on this page). My buddy Gene was taking a hot lap on his bike and said the car was not there anymore. I have no information where it went or what happened to it. :shruggy:
(http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/458/2uploadlk7.jpg)
The second pic I took while moving, hence the blur, but there is another car behind the bush that I think is a charger as well.
(http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/4390/dsc00222tg5.jpg)
Poor '69 (in the first pic)
Btw, could I please use those pics :2thumbs:
Cool with me, hope the owner doesn't find out er I mean mind lol
Love these threads.
I have never seen a 2nd gen Charger on the road here in So. Cal. until this past friday.
Was in Anaheim hills at a chevron gas station and went in to buy a pack of smokes, came out and saw a 70' Charger (I think it was a 70) and the guy fillin' it up. Funny thing is I think I saw that same guy cruising around in Orange that same week. Was a nice lookin' charger but I think it had some body damage on the passenger side.
Wonder if it's anyone on this site? It was light green in color.
This one has been sitting in the same spot for years. Used to have a blue 68 (with white top and white stripes) sitting next to it.
Went by it today so I thought I would stop and take some pics for this thread.
I believe its a 74 and looks to be in nice shape (didn't notice any rust). Has nice wheels too imo. (next project perhaps?) :icon_smile_cool:
Out of curiosity, any guesses on how much its worth?
(http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/327/resizedb9.jpg)
Here are a few. Not chargers but still cool cars. 69 383 4spd runner and a 68 440 auto coronet R/T convert.

I would love to be the VERY PROUD owner of that drop top 68'.
Steve. Hows everything going? have not spoke with you for awhile. Done much with that 65 yet?
Nope.. Been working on the house.. SLOWLY..
Mike has been working on his 1st Coronet and the one we picked up from you is in his back yard waiting to become a race car..
Now back to our regularly scheduled topic... hehehe...
In 25 years I have never ever seen one driving on the road. I have just baught a 68 Charger (1st one in my life) and I am waiting for it to leave the docks in LA. Yesterday would you believe we are driving in sydney and I heard some roaring engine on the side of us... looked to the side... 1st I saw an Orange fender then I see 01 on the doors, then a See the rear quarter and a 1969 tailight panel.
Whats the chance in that. Never seen a charger in my life in the wild, now that I had Just baught my 1st ever charger I see the 1st charger on the road drive straight past...
WOHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That thing bloody sounded AWESOME!
my fist time seeing another 3rd gen besides my own!!! pretty exciting for me. Makes it the 2nd charger i've seen around and both have been red! not a lot of chargers around here, not a lot of mopar in general, really.
had a few friends call me asking if it was my charger at the shop!

Set out to find a '70 challenger that GREEN684SPD told me about. There ended up being two in the same lot. The red one is a G code car and the green one is a C code car with some V8 emblems put on the fenders.

Harlow,
Way cool man! I'm digging the red one. Are you going to inquire about it?
They were at a storage yard so the woman in the office didn't own them. I'm not really sure how I could go about getting in contact with the owners because I would bet the storage facility can't give out any information. I guess I could leave a note but I wonder how often the owner comes by? I'm guessing the note would get wrecked or blown away by the time they saw it.
I've seen alot of Chargers "in the wild". There is a Charger running around Skokie every once and a while, a 73/74. But I saw a ton on the HRPT....
This thing followed me from Little Rock through the whole tour basically........ love driving along with a Daytona.

I saw a F8 green, green vinyl top, green interior 68 Charger in the parking lot of Office Depot today (in Florence, Alabama). Chatted with the guy a couple of minutes, it was a 318 Car, and had rallye wheels on it.

I'm willing to bet that was Mark, (triple green). Nicest guy you'll ever meet.
Yea, leave a note. I've left notes on a few cars to see if they were for sale and have gotten calls with offers.

I've left notes on cars or houses before too. I've had a little luck. Maybe I can bribe the woman at the desk. The office doesn't have a clear view of the yard and I could just go into the yard and leave a note on the cars themselves...but there is no telling when the owner will be there to check on them. The note will probably be gone or ruined.

I drive by a 69 about once a month on the way to the in laws and tried to buy it but the guy won't sell it even though its sat there for years! :flame:
heres one from mesa az yesterday.
I'm not really sureif this counts as "the wild", but last weekend on the way to a meeting in upstate NY, I got behind this R/T and managed to get a couple of picts. It turned in to a car show there. Damn I wish I had time to stop and check it out, there were alot of cars there!!

I saw one just this afternoon... Oh wait, I was driving it :lol:
Found a couple in the past week or so. A '66 sitting next door to my mother-in-law's house and a '74 about a mile from my house that's for sale for $4,250. ::) Good luck with that sale, buddy.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, worlds coolest car.
I saw a 68/69 behind Redz bar in Huntington Beach. I stay at a friends house in HB when I need to go to Long Beach. I stop and get coffee at the donut shop when I'm there. The car was always behind the little strip mall, then of course, when I finally brought my camera, it was gone for a few months. It was in really ruff shape., but disappeared and returned with fresh paint and interior and looking pretty good. I'll bring my camera next time to snap a pic.
Couldn't tell the year since it had a 69 tail, 69 interior with a 68 grille, but it was a 383 H 4spd car...so could be rare if it is a true 68 4spd car.
More to come..........
I know it's not a Charger but here is a nice 383 4spd car going from CT to it's new home in Texas. Pictures from today on I-95 in Fairfield Ct. Original lime green car. Neat. :icon_smile_tongue:
I didn't see this one myself, but the D.J. on the radio (Fredericksburg, VA station) just said that he went to a Baskin Robbin's over the weekend and parked next to a '69 Charger dressed up as the "General Lee".
He said seeing the car made him want to jump through the window and outrun some cops :lol:
Not a Charger, but last week was following a plum crazy '70 Super Bee up route 3 in Tyngsborough, Mass on my commute home. Looked and sounded nice. Alas, no camera though.
Search though i might, :scope: i couldn't find the "chargers in the wild" topic to add this one to... perhaps it should be stickied so these can be collected in one place?.. :shruggy: anyhow, i had seen this one on occasion and finally I tracked it down, looks to be a near twin of Todd's incl. the side bump guard..
enjoy oh ye' third gen lovers - nut cases though ye may be... :slap:
It's a joke, a joke people.... sheeeze...
one more...
WOW! That is pretty close to my 71!

Spotted a black 72 today that I think I may have seen around town before but I have never met the owner or been able to look at the car when parked.
Okay peoples, Cody said please.
Saw a Sublime '70 Charger R/T yesterday afternoon west of Butler, Wi. on Hampton Ave (Milwaukee area). Had a white interior and a white tail stripe, and I believe magnum wheels. Was in great shape too :yesnod: Board member car?
I saw a 73 Sublime Charger Super bee clone driving to school this morning, There was a very hansome guy driving it! Oh wait I was looking in the rear view mirror :smilielol: Seriously, I just deciced to take it in this morning since it is forecasted to be 75 and sunny. We are rapidly running out of those days in the midwest :coolgleamA:
QuoteWe are rapidly running out of those days in the midwest
That's for sure.
just saw a 70 rt brown or bronze pass me on rt 30 :o way cool.
Saw a wingless Superbird near College Park,MD today in somebody's yard partially under a cover.
Took my Charger out for about 15 small trips yesterday, and will be popping around with it today. What know one comes to CT to see me in the wild? :shruggy:
I know where they all live in my town and I keep a very close eye on them. Never know when there are ready for a new owner. :D
Spotted this '66 383 auto, tan Int. out at the beach, stopped for a few pics and met the owner Jeff and his bud wrenching on Jeff's mustang, 'n a few pics turned into a 30 min. introduction. :2thumbs:

here are a couple around these parts I've seen. first is a '70 that the guy actually drives around alot...he's a parts driver for Napa (to the best of my knowledge) and drives the charger on the job some days. next, a plymouth waiting in a body shop yard, and then a '68 that I saw at a shop when I was at lake Tahoe a while back.
That 68 has been at that gas station for like a decade at least
:scratchchin: You had to back to june 'o7 to answer his question?.. :shruggy: :lol:
Good looking 66 Brock. :2thumbs:
He does have a knack for being in the right place with a camera doesn't he?
Saw a 68 as a movie was being filmed in Manhattan. The movie is called Finding Woodstock. It was cool to see a street full of 60's cars and people dressed in those styles!
just saw a faded orange/red 73?[had the 3 vertical 1/4 windows] charger here in tempe.think it was a rallye as it had a black striped domed hood.had trumpet exhaust and rallys on it as well.
Cruising in New Sharon Maine last week or so.
Here you go Cody
:o
:o
:icon_smile_cool:
that actually makes me physically ill. :'(
The dude in the pictures is my buddy Big Jas(my bodyshop brother) who actually knows this guy. These were taken behind the guys bodyshop(that is for sale.) Jason tells me he has more somewhere. If this stuff is for sale I have no idea cause I don't have any money anyway so why ask. Lots of good parts still there but i'm not sure any of these can be brought back for reasonable dollars vice parting them due to...well you've seen the pics. I guess if they were being given away it wouldn't be so bad.
I'd like to give the big red R/T a shot though. :yesnod: It looked to be in the best shape. Chally would be next, still had some nice body lines going on amidst the decay.
That poor Super Bee looks like someone poured acid on it. :o
Had a hard day at work today. I was walking to my truck and looky what comes cruising along on a busy city street. A sweet yellow 68 Charger R/T with black tail stripe. All of a sudden the day wasn't so bad. By the time I was able to grab my camera, he was gone. :'(

I'll give you a hint, it's closer to you than it is me :lol:. There's a 69 charger se sunroof car down in southern Maine that I almost bought back in 96 and it still down in southern Maine somewhere in a boat yard, know of it? I can no longer find the car. It's the fourth sunroof charger that I know of in Maine.
Sorry, don't know a thing about the sunroof car, or any other SR car in Maine for that matter, so... you are way ahead of me.
As for the Island, I'm guessing downeast. Not looking for a car to buy, was just wondering. :2thumbs:

Here we have one of each 2nd gen, what are the odds.. There's my '68 soon to be a 511 stroker, a green '69 I'm told is a 383 auto car, and an orange '70 originally 383, but now has a hemi under the hood..
The '70 is actually owned by a childhood friend of mine, we were pretty surprised when we found out that we each had a Charger.. :2thumbs:

Hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it. :2thumbs:
You should get some buddies together and offer to redo her seats for her. I would imagine Legendary has everything you'd need to do it. Maybe we could all pitch in a little and pay to have it done. It probably wouldn't cost more than 300-400 bucks would it?

Great idea but I wonder how many people have money to give up in these times? I've seen the rear of the car in her garage for years and I would knock on the door and leave a note. I've never gotten a call and I'll bet she's hounded by people daily driving around in that 2dr classic. Just around the corner from her is a 70 Chevelle SS that is rotting to the ground in a guys backyard, but I'll bet " he's gonna fixer up sometime soon " ::)
Spotted a beat on 69, looks like a resoration has already been started though so thats a good thing!

The doors were inside, passenger one was smashed pretty good then bondo'd over. There was a third door in the trunk though.
New floors where in too.
Sent the Wif to McClendons Hardware this afternoon, she called me up and said I'm going to be mad I didn't go with her...
Boy, was she right!

Here is one....I have to go get it..
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,51977.0.html
In late spring '07, I was on I-85S goin' towards Charlotte 11 a.m. about, and saw in a wing goin' north. Then another. :o??? 2 wings? An event somewhere, of course. :yesnod: Then in a few minutes, 2 more.
That night, I registered and posted in one of the Mopar forums - someone would know about that.
A couple of responses posted a day or 2 later. They had been at Petty's home earlier, and were goin' to another meet. Some one referred to one of the pilots by first name; no surprise.
One was a metallic olive? green Daytona black vinyl, I think, the one Superbird had the Petty race scheme, and another Daytona was silver / black, I think. Can't remember the fourth. Some one knows, I'm sure ;)
Blade do you live in N.C?
I saw this one back in the summer on his way to a car show. I took this pic at the show.

Where are you there Manfred?
Somehow, I just found the thread I created lookin' for info...
http://moparforums.com/forums/f4/what-did-you-see-today-261/
Oops... wrong one...
I found a couple of Mopar forums where I posted it; it was 06/20/07. A guy in Mooresville replied in one, he saw 8 of 'em at gas station near there. Not all wings...
Now I'm really curious. Can't find the one where the guy said they had left Petty's home that mornin'. :shruggy:
FOUND IT! :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
http://wwnboa.org/2007charlotte.htm
I think I saw this car
(http://wwnboa.org/2007charlottejpgs/charl022.jpg)
The info says most of the guys took country roads to the Petty museum in Randleman on that morning I saw 4 wings on I-85.
I remember that... I met the black and silver one going south on U.S.220 I73/74 that afternoon. I guess it was after the goings on at the Petty Museum. If its the same one I used to see that Orange SuperBird cruising up and down Fayetteville St. here all the time.

Im in Asheboro. About 15 mins away from the N.C. Zoo
Here in dry desert Arizona, I see "lots of early Camaros, Chevelles and Firebirds on the road.... the average no imagination muscle cars.
I see 10) '67-'69 Chevys on the road for every 1) 66-70 Charger. It's a rarer sight to see a 66-70 Charger just out cruising. I know guys have quite a few of them packed away in beautiful climate controled garages, though early Mopars in AZ are very special.
Most the car guys I know think of the 69 Charger as the pinacle bad ass muscle car.
I do see original dry southwest 66-72 GM muscle cars out on the road frequently. Our cars don't rust here. I wish Arizona car guys didn't think 60's Mopars were so awesome, and then there'd still be more unrestored originals out cruising the roads here.

Thanks! Btw, I sent you a PM a few weeks ago...I never got a reply :lol:
Ever time I open the pole barn door, got four of them, 3-69s, 1-70. :icon_smile_big: There is a guy around town with a 68, but have not had a chance to run him down yet (should not be to hard
to catch a 68 with a 70) :smilielol:, maybe this summer.
I seen a 68 in Cali last month but couldn't geta pic. Does any one know of a yellow one in Oxnard?
.
Sweet 68 charger pics. Very retro. Do you know the car or those just pics you found?
:shruggy: i found 'em over on the SUPERCAR site...
Are those bumperettes an option on a 68??? I've never saw them before... :shruggy:
Yeah I don't think I've ever seen them before either.
69 rt/se bumperets with padding? :shruggy: Aw who knows.
I've never seen those before, and I dont think I'd ever want to see them on mine :lol:.
They are likely just some JC Whitney add on crap or the like.
Those Bumper Guards on the Charger look like they are off a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro WITHOUT the split bumper..
The bottom part looks a lot bigger on the Charger ?
They look like the ones they put on the old coronet taxi's. I seen them on one in the movie death wish. :shruggy:.
Does anyone elese ever watch this thread just to see if their own car shows up? Im always waiting for that, I know of about 10 Chargers in a 40 mile radius of me and am waiting for one to show up on here.

I completely love this statement. HA! THIS IS SO TRUE!!
I am not sure why but I can count on one hand how many second gens I see every year in my town (aprox 125,000 people).....and that's pushing it. I am sure there is more but I never see them. Good Guys Kansas Speedway 07 there may have been 10 Chargers total.
i know of 68 behind a collision center, its been sittin for a few years now, completely straight with a 383. When i came in for my charger to get an estimate they told me they have the same kind of car in the backyard. They were clueless of what they had hahah. i post some pics up soon
If anybody lived close to me they had a good chance of seeing me this past weekend. I put around 200 problem free miles on the Charger on Saturday. I even met a couple former '68 owners. The father of one of them used to work for the Chrysler Corp. back in the day.
I love your 70 man. It is awesome.
I saw a nice little dart in the snow yesterday.

I saw a 68 Charger today with RT badges rolling through Covington, WA (near Kent). Was red with black hood. Was gone before I could get the camera phone out. Makes for a good day when you see one on the road.
:smilielol: I'm the second guy in my town to have a Charger, both are '69s but I have never seen the other one.
I drove by this one today on Prescott, Wisconsin.. :yesnod:
Quote from: Manfred318 on September 29, 2006, 07:16:25 PM
There are 3 Chargers I see around here on the road my '68, a triple green '69 383 A/C that belongs to my former 8th grade teacher who bought it new, and a burgandy '69 with a white vinyl top that I've seen once or twice. There is a guy that lives close by that has a warehouse full of MoPars but he never drives them. What a waste :icon_smile_sad:
are you from Delta County, Michigan??
ive seen a '68 that looks like yours
my 8th grade teacher had a green charger he bought new (idk if he has it still)
and the guy next to my uncle has a whole shed full of old cars (he wont let me in idk if mopars or not)
so i take it nobody has randomly/accidently snapped a pic of someone else car from on here??? so there are ALOT more out there right???

Walking my dog tonight and went past a house I've gone buy at least 100 times before, this time one of the garages was up. I saw the side of the car and knew it was a Charger. I saw a guy outside, said it was his friends house and 69 Charger.
So, there is a Charger a block away and I never knew about? :shruggy:

Funny how often that happens. There is a nice black with white stripe 69 R/T 4spd car that lives here in the valley. No one knows who it is or where it lives, but you'll see it driving around during the summer. Also a blue 70. I know where it parks sometimes. I will try to get pics sometime.
its not a charger but somone in my town has a green 70 superbird with black interior and a 440 wedge :coolgleamA:
Dude, I saw the blue 68 Charger my wife saw in December! It's on the bottom of page 20 on this thread. It was driving the opposite way from me in town today, nice looking car! :2thumbs:

Man, I must live in the wrong place. I live in Dallas which is a huge city with lots of pretty large suburbs. I drive around a lot for work and family and I have only seen one Charger in the last 25 or so years. I hardly ever see any old Mopars period. Saw a 72 Satellite the other day, but that's it. Why is that? The one Charger I saw was a 69 that was horribly modified and had a terrible paint job. :eek2:

Karma?? did you do something wrong?? :pity:
Here's one for you guys. It's a XP 383 car. Not sure if the 383 is still there or if it was replaced with something else. It has a Pistol Grip 4 speed. Last registered January 2009. The guy used to drive it daily but gas costs were killing him. So he now drives the creamy yellow car shown in the first picture.

Wow some great pics, keep them coming. I saw a purple AAR Cuda on the highway the other day. It was the middle of the week and the guy was probably in his early 60's, I wish I had my camera with me.
How about a removed from the wild? I seen this R/T on a regular basis since about 1994 til maybe a month ago it finally disappeared. Too bad it sat without the window all this time. Unfortunately it was in way worse shape than it looks in the picture. When the owner showed it to me back in 94 the rear frame was already rusted away.

From what you're saying it's probably still there just rusted to the ground. Nice picture, what a shame. :'(

I work at Jordan Motorcars on IH10, but I live in Live Oak on the NE side.
Spotted my old 70 (sold it about 10 years ago) sitting at the exhaust shop awaiting a new system......Its a 383 non orig 4speed and was a VERY fun car when i had it.
Around So Cal people drive their old cars. I'm on the road all the time so I see them.
I've seen the brown Charger in Santa Barbera about 3 times. I've been going up there twice a month for 3 years on business. Saw it a month ago parked on the street in front of a business. The black 69 I saw a few years ago. It's tough to whip out your camera in traffic. And I don't alway carry it.
couple days ago it was a white 66.
Saw this one last weekend...but it was not in the wild, it was in a pen. ;D

Got to see a really nice DRIVEN 71 R/T this weekend.
I was tool shopping in Northern KY, and saw this parked a few spaces from me.
While taking a few snaps, the owner comes over, with a great big grin on his face and was happy to chat for a while (Both his an my wife were sitting our cars waiting for us to finish.
When we left, so did he, and we let him pass, so I could hear the familiar exhaust note from behind (where it is customary).
We both turned right onto Mall Road in Florence, and to my amazement, i had 2 clear lines to follow ;D
My son was like "CHARGER !!! daddy, Charger !!!" :2thumbs:
What, no tail shot?? You gotta love them 71's................ :2thumbs:
I masked the plate info (like you cant guess anyway)
Awesome 71 RT! :2thumbs: wonder why it has 72 Hideaways?
No pics but I saw a black '70 going the opposite direction on I-84 near The Dalles, Oregon today on my way back from a camping trip. It was a nice one.
Saw 2 more Chargers! Kind of weird, I seem to see them in pairs. Saw the blue 3rd gen on the way home from work yesterday.
Was cruising through downtown this morning making some deliveries. The black 68 was sitting at a stop light. I scrambled for the camera phone and contimplated chasing him in my box truck... :icon_smile_big:
Sounded healthy. Was lucky he got stuck at construction so I could snap a shot. :2thumbs:
There are three drivers in my town, including mine.
2 days ago.... :cheers:

u can see it get shot up here. good shot of it at the end. i haven't seen the show though.
Saw this in Hawaii, on the bus in Waikiki. Scared half the people on the bus, "That's a 68 Charger!" Amazing, they are everywhere!
EXCELLENT SCORE! :2thumbs:
Made a point to drive past it 4 times after we got the car, so I could get the pic. :coolgleamA:

u can see it get shot up here. good shot of it at the end. i haven't seen the show though.
It's not bad. Premise is he's a former spy who was turned out in the process of finding who did it/why he has to make a living.
Wifey and I went for a drive and found these parked outside.

Seen this by my house for years, just never had the camera with me. Used to be out front of the house. Never really believed it was a real Charger, because it looks nothing like a 68-70.. :stirthepot: Wasn't till I got educated here..
That's a cool shot. He looks sneaky
I was out working a friday in late may (drive a garbage truck) and got into a nasty shouting match with some rear orifice who thought it was nice to double-park beside the truck for ten minutes while I was busy loading some quality products. He drives off and I'm standing there absolutely furious, just looking to punch someone/something repeatedly...
And this PERFECT '68, triple black with the full-wheel hubcaps and a nice 383/440 rumble glides by and melts into traffic. The only thing missing was the soundtrack and a Mustang fastback. :icon_smile_big: Really turned my mood around.
Maybe it was this one my buddy just sent me that he saw in PA. Oh wait, its a 69.
I found this picture poking around on the internet a few years ago. Supposed to be a field full of cars somewhere near Albany.

It's kind of in the wild. Somewhere it's never seen before. Going to start working on it more at the shop I work at.
found this today in az.going to try and contact owner.no engine but the car looks way solid.

I see dozens every year but only if I go to a couple car shows. Otherwise I rarely see them at all just out in public rolling down the street. The last time I saw a 2nd gen Charger it was a '68 turning at a stop sign about 1/2 mile from my house, and that was over two years ago. Since that time I've seen one third gen Charger and that was probably 10 months ago. I just never see them. Is it the area in which I live? Do some of you in other parts of the country or world see classic Chargers more frequently?
When i go shopping for one, and arrive at the dude's house, thats bout it.
This 1970 dodge Charger was located in Decatur, IL at an auto repair shop. It sat outside this shop for several years and rusted away, I tried to buy it several times, but the owner would not sell it.
Mine is out every weekend. Someone should spot it. :shruggy:

Here are some more pictures of the Charger in Decatur, IL, the owner paid his mechanic to shoot his wife in the head and now he's in jail for murder. the shop is closed down and the car is gone. The body was Ok but the floor and frame rails were rusty.
More pictures :D you have to excuse me, we don't see Chargers too often here in central Illinois so when i saw this charger I had to take these pictures, it's a shame how people will let a charger sit and rot away for years and not sell it to someone who will restore it. When I checked the frame rails they literally crumbled in my hands :rotz:
Damn shame! :icon_smile_dissapprove:
Wow, that DOES suck. Similar story happened with me. Two minutes from my house was a 69 Roadrunner up in this decrepid piece of property that had condemned houses along the gravel road. There was a ratty trailer sitting amongst them with dogs on chains every 50 feet, mean dogs. We first drove up in the dark when I went to show my friend the car and this hooded figure comes out of the trailer. Squater? Apparently not. He said his brother owned the car but wouldn't sell it. We couldn't get his brothers contact info but we gave him ours. Went back there several times with same story. One of the quarrys that's located right there owned all the properties. We heard that they were selling the land to a builder and we went to check on the Roadrunner. It was gone, the dude was gone, all the other more modern derelict vehicles that were amongst the houses were gone. Couldn't find out what happened to any of them. This was within the last year. Sucks.
They probably got siezed by the new land owners. The "AUTO SHOP" and I use that term loosely as you can see by the pictures, was owned by the same man that owned the charger. When he got arrested for murder last summer he had a duster, a yellow cuda, a few boats and an rv that were taken by the new owner of the property, I don't know how legal that is but the guy that owns the property now, apparently sold the Charger without a title and he also sold the other stuff. I don't know what happened to the other Mopars. :shruggy:
Here is one I saw last week up in the mountains (no, don't ask where as I 'aint telling :icon_smile_wink:). Auto with console XP. Chris has the info already. And yes Cody, you may use the photos if you wish. ;)

I wrote the plate number down a few minute's ago. The information is available for a large fee.
:poke: :nana: :nana:
with all the new laws at the DMV protecting privacy what are you going to get from the plates anyway??

I'm on the road around So Cal all day 5 days a week. Tons of pre 75 cars on the road here. Too many to take pictures of and drive a loaded E250 van defensively at the same time. But here's some...
Here are car being driven. I see them parked and in shops too, but that doesn't count for me.
First one is on N. PCH near Malibu. Second is in Santa Barbara on the S101 around State. Third is on N110 almost to Burbank. Forth is W. on Jefferson in Culver City just past Thunder Alley (Traco, Guldstrand, Isky, ...). Last is 71 Demon on W. on Washington Blvd at Lincoln Blvd. intersection in Venice.

That is cool. Never noticed that.
Actually surprised at that. My 68 Barracuda S with a SPD of Nov 67 has a black and yellow plate starting with XV... I've heard in more rural areas the plate lingered longer so they don't get issued throughout the state in chronological order.
in az. again.not a charger tho.
Was that color ever offered on that body for that year? Maybe a repaint.
looks to be Butterscotch from a 69 1/2 Super Bee, might be worth checking out
hope this counts, it was mone but if not , my buddy has his baracuda out with me! :cheers:

This car is about a mile from my house! It never moves and has been sitting there for a couple of years. Its bright yellow with a black vinyl roof. Looks like it was redone and just parked. :brickwall: Maybe one day I will stop and get the story on it.
After my 1,000 mile trip to Oregon and back and the number of people that took my picture with thier cell phone I would think there are a few of me rolling up and down I5 floating around somewhere.
saw this one today.not a charger tho.
Not trying to be a dick and I appreciate the effort and the pics but there is a thread similar to this for all the non-Chargers that are suddenly popping up in this thread.
It's here;

What makes you think it's a 68' with 69 tail lights? It may be a 69' with a 68' front end.... It has the 69' 1/4 markers......
Saw a '68 Charger with faded B5 paint and white pin stripes following the body lines from the door scallops. Didn't see any rust. This was on August 19 in the Ballard Market parking lot, Seattle, WA. I was off to the side in my '69 Charger, with my brake lights on, looking at another Charger, and some clown pulls right up to my bumper and starts hitting his horn. Plenty of room to go around. He wanted the parking spot right next to it, and couldn't be bothered to pick any of the many spots that were just as close. Why do people insist on pulling right up to someone that they see is clearly stopped for whatever reason, and start hitting their horn when they can easily go around? He was able to pull right into that spot anyways. Ass.

Probably had a 69 and wanted to make things right and is in the process of converting it over to a 68.
Your right! I'll have to do a closer inspection to see if he added the 68 nose or 69 tail.

I think I found the same 70 RT that's on the bottom of page 18 in this thread!!! Thought it looked familiar.
Anyway, I was out making some deliveries in a 14' box van. Fun stuff. I had to get from point A to point B, new destination, blah blah blah... So I turned on the GPS, it wouldn't acquire the satellites... Finally did, and told me to turn right, then recalculated, told me to turn left, recalculated!!!! make your mind up bitch! (that's it's nick name) Then it sends me down a residential street with round about islands! I'm in the work truck!
So I called my buddy to complain about his bitch... "Oh F#@K!! DAMN!!" I drove past this Charger sitting on the curb!!! Holy cow! Made my day. So, I hung up the phone and jumped out for a few pics. Poor car!
Gotta love the license plate!!

Around here you need to keep a current registration because they will say it is an abandoned vehicle and want you to move it. ::).........so it may not run?

Ya, I noticed that while I was examining the pics...
Saw a beautiful 70' charger today driving through Madeira outside of Cincinnati Ohio. He took off before I could snap a pic but man did that thing sound nice. It was Orange in color but it almost looked like it was iridescent because as the sun bounced off it, it had a very slight pearl color coming off of it. However it could have been something reflecting off of this cars literally "mirror" finish. Also, the back had an RT stripe and it sure did sound like it had a 440. Anyways... that lightened up my day and made me go work on my 73 :lol: In fact I worked til it got dark just because of that. If your on this forum please drive your car once a day through town so you can keep me up and about :smilielol:

Yep that's the one. Last time I drove by it was gone...Wallingford. I checked it out close a while back...looks like it had an electrical fire...interior looks burnt...not burnt orange.
Saw this one today near the Oregon state fairgrounds in Salem.
Looks like a cool paint job!
Agreed. I like that.
I seem to remember a third gen charger painted like that in the young guns section of mopar muscle magazine a while back. Same car maybe?
I like :drool5:
I was riding around the neighborhood today in the 73 and spotted this 72 at a local church.... I like it, flat black paint with gloss flames, had new magnum 500's wheel, with new tires, thought it was a good looking car. Had to run back to the house to grab the camera and snap a couple of pics.

My plan worked a couple hours later, the owner stopped by. It was a young guy (about 17-19 years old) and he had his parents with him. Chatted with him a little while, checked out his car, showed him my cars. Took him into the shop to show him the 69 RT project.... didn't seem to impressed with it , but he loved the 73 Rallye. I guess he's an absolute 3rd gen guy. He has done all the work to his car. It is a 318/auto.

Man that is one clean General. We just don't see stuff like this everyday up here in my boring town Bloomington, IL. What really sucks is the car show season is almost over here too. People down south have it made :'(
I saw this last weekend for sale on the way home from the Local Mopar show here in Ohio. The guy that has the Charger also had this parked by his garage door.
Hey! Thats in Cuyahoga Falls!! I got a pic of the Chally several months ago. :2thumbs: If I'd had known that guy was a MoPar guy I'd spent more time at his shop, (I think he was there) and talked D'English with him!! (Dodge English). BTW, those are nice Chargers, guess I'm headin' up Route 8 this weekend!! :2thumbs:

Saw this one today near the Oregon state fairgrounds in Salem.
I think that's Dane (Daytona Guy)'s kids car if I'm correct...I'll have to look into it.
Very possible since Dane lives in Salem.

with all the new laws at the DMV protecting privacy what are you going to get from the plates anyway??
You got that right. I got a lawyer and everything and CA DMV will not budge. They know my previous but will only tell me it's Jon Marks. :brickwall:
You got the name, now do you have the county? If you have both of those you can pull public records from the property appraiser. You may end up with multiple listings but you have a base.
you can also do a white pages search, more results but still something, still better if you know the state and county to narrow it all down
thats part of the way i found the granddaughter of Marys' original owner
:coolgleamA:
Dude, My best friend's dad has a 69 Charger R/T that red with black vinyl top and has a 440 Magnum, 727 automatic transmission with a dana 60 rear end! I got to ride in it the other day, and it was frickin' sweet!!!!

Saw an orange 71 or 72 Charger this morning on the way to work. It was loud and sounded good, he flew past so quick I didn't have a chance to snap a cell phone picture.
66-67 - never
68-70 - other than the guy that shows up at Bob's cruise night with his 69 MAYBE 1 every couple years or so
71-74 - fairly often but all of them are beaters desperately in need of a little love... kinda sad that these people can't even wash their cars or try to even keep a decent coat of paint on them
You would think that in LA with the insane car culture there would be more.

wow small world, I live in nearby Northfield and I go past that building (the old Summit Sound and Security) and see that Challenger on my way to my girlfriends house in Munroe falls every other day :2thumbs:
Yeah, I was on a local Biker run for some fallen soldiers and right before we took off I notice this 71' R/T in the parking lot. :2thumbs:
Man, this Charger was clean as could be. :drool5: :drool5:
I could not make it to the Norwalk Classic but this made up for it. :D
Saw a sublime green 1970 Dodge Charger few days ago in peak hour traffic near Anandale which is close to the city in Sydney AUS. Whoever owned that thing, it looked hot turning that corner when he got a green light and cruising straight past. Thats the 2nd one I have EVER seen in 27 years of my life just out and about.
Last week, I saw a lime Superbird or Daytona going south on IH-35 near New Braunfels/San Marcos, Texas. Also that same week, I saw a General Lee being towed on a flatbed near Austin, TX.
I've also spotted three Challengers (all projects), one RR (68-69?), and one 71-74 Charger.

I see them from time to time in So Cal. But I'm on the road 8-6 everyday and I cover a lot of area. I've seen the same 68-70 Chargers a few times even. Saw a driver/rough 70 Charger made into a Dukes clone a few weeks ago parked on a street.

The gold car is 71 (side marker lights).
Saw this guy today driving north on gratiot at 12 mile. It looks a lot like the one I saw a few weeks ago out by clarkston. I think there was a secret car show I was not aware of. There was some older blue convertible and a yellow '68 383 road runner driving along with us, you can see the road runner in the left lane. I also saw another brown muscle car behind them after I turned. I went to one spot where there used to be shows, but it was not there so I dunno. Anyway, it was a '70

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.
What are those little round things on the tail lights? never seen those B4. :shruggy:
Called "bulls eye" they come in red or blue I think. It's a glass bead with a chrome ring with tabs on it, you drill a hole and mount it.Old school stuff, the glow is cool when you get right over the light bulb.
Blu Dots can be illeagle depending on where you are,.. i allways wanted to do blu dot sequential on a '69 just for the cool factor...
Blue was illeagle in Oregon last time I checked. Looks like it has original plates maybee looking at the colour.

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." :rofl: 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. :shruggy:
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. :shruggy: 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 :icon_smile_big:
The mud flaps and white walls need to go they take away from the car.
Don't get me wrong, it was a nice car. :yesnod: 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.
Yea, all those little quirks scream "original owner" to me.
Cool time-warp car....makes me feel like 1975 all over! There was a 70 around here with the same effect going on.

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
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/1437473950.html
Been sitting in Kearny for (I'm guessing) years.
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
checked on the progress of this one,... :-\ as it slowly returns to the elements...
What a shame.
Check out that hitch.
I see head rests.
An Orig CA car.
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...
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,18958.0.html
:o
Wouldn't that be a shame if were to just roll itself onto a trailer one night and disappear to some restoration shop...

I saw an orange 71 Charger on my way to work yesterday, the second time I have seen it on that street in the morning. I tried to take a cell phone pic but he was going so fast I couldn't catch up. :brickwall:
The one I saw was going so slow, I passed him up to check it out; and had to wait up for him to pass as I exited... Almost sat at a Green light... haha!
i guess my buddy just picked up this 68 fairly cheap..
Oh that's brutal! You have teased us with that picture! :2thumbs:
Man, I saw a sweet red 69 RT in downtown Auburn, WA yesterday! Light turned green just as I saw it, and I was turning right.. :brickwall: :brickwall:
I whipped around the block and jumped out, hoping it got caught at the next light, but I missed it.... No pic :flame:
Was the first time I'd seen a 69 in the wild! (around car shows aren't exactally wild, if you know what I mean.)
A few sad examples found in a SC junk yard this past spring... Very strange yard, almost entirely older vehicles from model T's to 3rd gen Chargers, with a few modern cars splashed in there as well... several of the vehicles in this yard look nearly mint, but there they sit, side by side with all the other scrap. I'd post a few examples, but their non-Mopar...
MOPAR is considered to be a bad word in that area... "WE CRUSH THAT SHIT" is the common phrase uttered by most salvage yard owners in that neck of the woods.
Sometime in the summer of 08 I saw a rough looking 2nd gen, I want to say it was a 68 but I'm not certain. It was in the about the same condition as my 70, being driven by a fairly younger (than me) looking dude. I pulled up next to him in my Toyota Carolla and he caught me staring and waved. That same summer I passed a used car lot and saw a sweet looking 73 SE body and interior were near perfect it had a 318 under the hood, slap stick auto, slot wheels and a sunroof. It was fire engine red with a black top. The sales man said they wanted $5,000, and I thought it was a bit high after a few days I thought I would try and see if they deal but it was gone. I still have the pics on my phone but don't know how to post them on here. This past Oct. I found a 70 in a classified ad on ebay, it looked very much like the one I had seen the summer before, but when I went to look at it the seller was an older (than me) guy not the young dude I'd seen the summer before after looking at it I saw myself driving it home. I found this one on craigslist here in Indiana if anyone is looking http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1522076956.html (http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1522076956.html) if I had the $$$ I'd see myself putting that in my garage right next to my 70.

The Chally was covered when I found it, so I pulled the tarp back a bit just to get the shot. I lifted the tarp in a few other spots and it was in very nice shape, just filthy from laying out there for who knows how many years.
The 68 had a black vinyl top originally... it had been pretty well picked over in terms of misc. trim pieces etc. There was a little damage to the front passenger side (seen in the other pic), but the rest of the body was OK if I remember correctly. Here's a couple of other shots... they don't really show much though, but it's all I have.
Thanks for posting! :cheers:
Does that yard sell the entire car or parts only?
I hate seeing cars that could be save just sit and rot, waiting to be picked clean enough to crush :eek2:
The area I live in is all Mustangs. Spotless 65s at every 3rd stoplight. There are about a dozen Mopars drivable in the county, but I'm the only daily driver.

They try to sell the whole car if they can... they really don't like parting them out if they don't have to. They have several vehicles there that they use just for parts, and those are the ones that they point you too if that's what your looking for. They actually have quite an assortment of fully restored vehicles for sale that they put together themselves from various recks in the yard. There are some pretty cool cars there...
Pictured these few today. Spotted the red 3rd Gen years ago and lost track of it. All these years I thought it was a '71 R/T but today I found out I was wrong. It's actually a '73-'74 with the R/T stripes from what I can tell. Pardon the horrible picture, my cheapo camera I had with me dosen't take good far shots. I couldn't find my nice Canon when I went to leave on my roadtrip to my mom's. I took the pictures of these two cars on my way home. I'll come back with my Canon sometime and get a shot of the red one again. I was in a rush to get home so I couldn't get out of the truck to get some good shots of the gold '73. It's a base 318 car though (I've checked it out before but didn't have a camera)

Looks like a lot of you guys live around the Seattle area, and Oregon. I havent really seen anyone driving anything really. I saw a faded blue Road Runner the other day, in Bothell. We go down to Oregon, Depot Bay, and Bend a lot too, never really see anyone.

Seems like all the good mopar shows are in your area, but yeah, this time of the year with all the rocks on the road, makes them even more scarce. My car is no trailer queen but I'm a little leery of driving it wright now for fear of a broken grille or windshield.
I had heard about a Silver 3rd Gen Charger in the area, but I've never seen it... until this afternoon that is. We had some weather down here this morning on the VA coast, high winds etc... enough to blow the cover off this Charger. Turns out the Charger is parked right here at the apartment complex I'm staying at while down here on work assignment.

Didnt see any other MoPars, but got the thumbs up from a family in a nice 55 Bel Air, a guy in a new 500 SL held up traffic at a light looking at it, and a little kid and his dad walked around a corner with his dad, when we were sitting at a light and yelled "Oh SH*t, Dad, thats a real car isnt it?

Well, we should get together and go for a drive. I was say'in to the wife, all we need is a couple more people and we would have our own traveling car show.
It is not a Charger but a very cool Challenger. This car is sitting at a Colorado Springs Dodge Dealership. The story is it was totally restore at the dealership. :coolgleamA:
wow! that looks pretty much slick as snot. those the right side stripes for a '71?..
It is a 340 car so I might be.
four cars in...
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/dog427435/157.jpg)
looks like the stripes are painted on, much too shiny for decals
I saw this light blue 3rd gen again, rolling through downtown Bellevue just after lunch today. :coolgleamA:
Was gone before I could even think about taking a picture... :brickwall:

Same guy driving it, looks like a lot of rust along the bottom.... :pity:
Last week, in Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, on N 45th St. going East, there was a dark green '68 Charger R/T with white stripe, slammed to the ground. Can't remember the wheels, but a lot of shinny aluminum pops into my mind. He saw me in my Charger and waved. I think it was raining that day, too.
Thanks for the memories...that Challenger was exactly like my first car. Man...winding roads of Maui and that car! Good Times!
How about a throwback pic??
Found it in a photo album...i wasnt born yet, but i believe this was taken in lake George. Moms not sure either....figure sometime early 80's??

The hood stripe is a 70 style, 71 would have the large R/T near the bottom. The side stripe looks correct, from what I can see.
Ive posted this one before but I checked in on it last week and there's now a faded for sale sign in the window with just a phone number. It was raining then so I couldn't quite make it out but Im going to try and stop by again Monday after class. Will post up if anyone is interested.

looks pretty nice even with the side bumpers, got keystones too.. :drool5:
That will clean up nicely.
Guy probably wants 15k for it.
Wouldn't be surprised, its been there for years. Ive noticed looking through different photos Ive taken the tires have been inflated and deflated several times so the owner probably knows what its worth and checks up on it.
Still, its super clean and worth inquiring about imo.
Phone and ask him if you can take a couple of good pics of it so you can inform people on this site. You could end up doing him and someone on here a big favor and you get a closer look at the car as a bonus. :shruggy:
Nothing like an original desert car :drool5: no signs of salt corrosion at all
Was able to make out the number, I'll phone tomorrow or the day after to get the scoop.
Alright guys here's what I got:
2nd owner, owned it for 30+ years.
Rebuilt 318
New headliner
Not started in about a year
Asking 10,000 but not firm.
I didn't get his name (:brickwall:) but seemed like a nice enough guy. Said he lives a ways away though and you cant get into the storage lot unless he's there so it looks like Ill only be getting pictures from through the fence for now. Reason for selling is he's not using it so he doesn't want to pay storage. Said he's been getting a lot of calls. Also the fluids aren't drained but the battery is disconnected and it was last tagged in 1998.
Phone number: 818 865 4956
My take: Its super clean/straight from what I can see. Definitely worth saving. Probably would be drivable fairly easily with minimal work.
I'm not too familiar with the third gen market but I would guess a fair value would be around 4,000 if its drivable?? Personally I would pay more than that.
If anyone is serious but doesn't want to make the drive to Santa Clarita, I live about 5 minutes away from it so it wouldn't be a problem to check it out and take pictures(or even make a video) if you can schedule it with the owner.
:cheers:

Looks like a real nice rust free car. That 4k would get you a couple rear quarters on a 2nd gen car.
anyone wanna disagree?.. :shruggy:
naw, thats a chevy under the tarp
If he has been getting lots of calls and no one has bought it ... thats because his asking price is crazy and he dosen't want to accept a realistic price for it.
If it has not been started in a year and it has not been licensed since 98 its going to take some work and definately a rebuilt carb to get it going again. If its not filed as a non-op its going to also take some coin to register it. Brakes will also be needed and probably trans work.
I would say he will be lucky to get $3,500 for it.
It is a 318 car and not a BB.
I agree, its too high even for such a clean example. My reason for saying minimal work to get it driving was based off two 70 challengers I recently bought (for less than what he's asking btw :icon_smile_cool:) that hadn't moved/ran for several years and I had them both driving in under a month. Compared to the three years Ive been working on the charger it was a walk in the park haha.
chargerrrr
was on a and e 1st 48 last night.looks like a charger.see above picture...
I saw a light green 68 Charger on I-5, just north of Seattle this afternoon! Certainly brightened the day. I drove by Sleeping Beauty later, http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,49500.msg680710.html#msg680710
If I'd seen a 69, it'd been a perfect day!
1970 Bronze/Copper Charger at McDonalds on 196th in Lynnwood tonight around 7, you car is beautiful. No camera with me
No Charger sightings, but I'm sure I drove past rp23g7, driving the J5 Coronet pictured above.

Hmmm, where were you at? Was it Saturday 2 weeks ago, early evening on 85th? I was sitting at a light and saw a 69 or 70 go past in the left lane and make a left turn, dont know the street though, dark too, so i couldnt see the color.
Yes. 85th on to Wallingford.

Yeah, that was us, coming back from a cruise to Alki. I was pissed cause a dork in a Toyota cut me off and made me miss the freeway entrance. Oh Hey a Charger, ok, i feel better now.
Saw a 73/74 yellow Charger with a black stripe today in Austin. It's the first 3rd gen I've seen on the road since I bought mine 8 months ago. :icon_smile_big:
:drive: Saw a dark colored Second Gen today driving down Watermen Ave. in San Bernardino. Ironically I was coming to pay my 68 a visit and drop off some parts for her. I have not seen her in 3 months and I won't see her for at least 3 more :rotz:. The Charger I saw blew by very quickly and was weaving in and out of traffic. By the time I moved to the curb to get a better look it was to far away to identify the year. I am curious to know if it is a DC member.
Dark Dark blue '66 with white interior, Keystones.....cruising Main Street.
It had a few things to get squared away, but a pretty nice car. The kid was getting a ton of looks, and seemed to be enjoying it.
I gave him a :2thumbs: and he pulled over to a gas station. We BS'd for a while, and it looked like a nice survivor, a little cancer here and there, 383 car, he said he'd bought it only about 3 weeks ago. I didn't pry and ask what he paid, but I was curious. Nice find.
After watching him drive away again, I had a newfound appreciation for the 1st gens. Man, they are sweet.
I just saw a black 69 Charger rolling down Central in Kent! It's pouring rain!!! Sweet car, tried to pull over for a pic; but it was gone. :flame:
Any other day of the week, I'd have flipped a U-turn and chased it down; but I had to be somewhere by 5...
Not exactly the year, but I saw a genIII yesterday. It was yellow with black stripes and Charger spelled out on the door in the stripe. It was in Chesterfield, Mi. You were driving north on Jefferson just south of 23 mile rd. I was the guy flying south in the ambulance as we were coding to a call....I was a little too busy to snap a pic, but thanks for pulling over for me

Bad news on this one....... I was on Main again yesterday on my way home from my son's guitar lessons, and the '66 was there again, stopped on the road, wrecked. Two cops cars, antifreeze running down the street, and the front of the Charger was pretty much toast. Couldn't really tell what happened, but it looked like a fairly straight on collision. Maybe someone stopped quick or pulled out in front of him, and those notorious drum brakes couldn't handle the job? Who knows. I almost started cryin'. :'(
Here's one
(What's kind of neat is if you look, one guy is taking a pic of my car in their rear view mirror)

here is Mr angry taking a picture of mine while i was taking a picture of his
all week!!! can you tell I'm happy?
Took this today in traffic. '68 R/T. Dark bronze with a black R/T stripe and Torque Thrusts. I have a picture of this car on my wall in my bedroom. Plate reads 'Mr. Norms' and it has a Grand Spaulding Dodge licence plate ring (looked vintage) so I assume it's the real deal. A little old guy was driving it. :2thumbs:
Looks pretty sharp!
sweetttt!
Saw this sweet 68 leaving a small weekly show, he's a member on here, though I don't recall his screen name.

Auburn, WA.... Saw it in Bellevue a few months ago too!
My little brother Texted me this evening and then sent me this Picture mail, he spotted a Black 68! I've trained him well! :coolgleamA:
A purple\blue 1st gen passed me on the way home. They had Charger acid etched on the side glass with some keystones on it.
Went to the westcoast mopar show today in Tampa, Florida there was about 50 cars there. A lot of roadrunners and challengers there was only one 70 charger there.

I saw this black 69 charger again!! This time I had a chance to persue it. :coolgleamA: ( Was supposed to be picking my mom up from work, but she can wait 20 min... )
I was sitting at a light waiting to turn left, he drove past and turned into a gas station to my right. So I turned left into a parking lot and ran across the street to meet him and his car! Real nice guy, he's owned the Charger for just over a year, got it as a shell from TX. It's an RT, though I forgot to peek at the VIN. He got a 440 and tranny out of a 72 Imperial. Did some body work and paint himself. Car came with floor pans, which he installed. Looked pretty nice as a driver. He'd put a back seat in it from a 91 Lexus!! haha Looked all right, molded seats and inset seat belts.
While we were chatting, a couple guys in a Jeep Cherokee revved their engine at us; and asked "What engine you got??" 440... "Sweeet!!"
Then a Lincoln Towncar with some kids pulled up, "Wanna race, I got $100." His reply was, "I only race on the track." Smart reply. Then one of the kids in the back seat piped in, "you should put a roll cage in it!"
I asked him it he'd mind if I took a few pics... Also plugged the web site, told him how much help everyone here has been for me! :cheers: :2thumbs:
I found ANOTHER one! A 1st Gen this time, think it may be the first time that I've seen one of those.
I won't dare guess which year, cuz I am not up to speed on 1st and 3rd gens... Looked quite nice! Current tabs on it too!
Good finds. :2thumbs:
That would be a '66, it has no turn signals at the top front edge of the fenders.
You definitely have a nose for finding them. Good job. :yesnod:
I've turned into a hunter, scanning everywhere when I'm on the road. And when I'm not looking, they appear! Go figures.
I saw a 3rd gen that was in disrepair also, but couldn't get a pic of it.
I love this thread though. :2thumbs:
Now that they have started cruise night again on Van Nuys Blvd. I have actually seen a few.. and none with that freaking 01 on the side either... At the last one I actually saw a yellow and black DAYTONA!!!!! :drool5: I almost rear ended the suv in front of me.. I woulda stopped but I was taking my girl to her ultrasound appointment... She actually wouldn't have minded if we had had time... guess I'm pretty luck there.
I saw a yellow '68 R/T running with a '69 Coronet and a '69 Satellite or Roadrunner today in Watertown, Wi. I had one chance to get a pic, and of course, I hit the wrong button on my phone :brickwall:
Found ANOTHER Charger today! Saw it on my lunch break, a 3rd gen this time.. Looks pretty straight. Again, I'm not up to speed on 3rd gens, so I couldn't guess what year it is. :scratchchin:
I texted my buddy at work my find, and his responce was: "you better get yours going, or is going to be old news"

Saw a red 69 charger last night driving through Camby Indiana, Thats just south of Indianapolis, last night. Looked like an unrestored driver :2thumbs:.
Was it anyone from here?
So, this is unbelievable... I've found a 4th Charger this week! :coolgleamA: :icon_smile_big:
Took a trip up north past Seattle, found this up where we were at.. Had to pull over and snap a pic!
Yesterday I saw this beautiful Charger driving through a parking lot. Very nice guy named Jim. He's a member here. The car is stunning, my Iphone pictures don't do it justice. Had a nice loud rumble to it also. :2thumbs:

Saw a nice orange 69 cruisin 8th St in Saskatoon Sk today. Unfortunately no pics.
My brother traveled to Pendleton, Oregon on business where he found that one of his customers had driven this to work today. It's got a 440 stroked to 505.
Nice!
I like his parking, i do the same :smilielol:
Took a trip to Missouri a couple weeks ago. Saw a beautiful Green 69 Charger pulled over to the side of the road with Mr Smokey doing his unpleasant work...Bummer for the driver, but quite a sharp car....did not get a pic.

The cop probably just wanted to get a good look at the Charger.
Saw this very nice 68 literally around the corner from my house in Melbourne a few weeks ago, never seen it at any shows though - regularly see aussie Chargers around but very rare to catch a yanky Charger on the street!

Awsome pics Laxy! Thanks for sharing, love that 68 :2thumbs:
Why are all those car's pointed the wrong direction on the side of the street?
Just kidding. Those are cool picture's Laxy.
Very cool! How much do Aussie chargers go for in driver shape?
Saw this 3rd gen while out for dinner last night, then saw it on the road afterwards! :2thumbs:
I saw a blue 68 with a blower sticking out of the hood! made my day! :drool5:
This Charger was at an auction last weekend. It went for 2,400 and the Falcon 3,500 Niether ran and have sat for years. The Charger had a 1976 plate on it. It had minimal rust and the interior was decent.
I know where one '69 Charger is setting at in a fence in area between two RV's. It has I think a gray color (or white) front nose from what I can see of it from the road. The trap that is one it is not covering the front end up. Not sure if it's for sale either. But where the car is at is setting in grass.
I saw this '68 in downtown Vancouver yesterday. It looked and sounded soooo awesome :coolgleamA:
he must have LEDs in the park lights

I saw a 68 about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think it was flat black. Not sure It was going too fast for me to see. :D And it was going a different direction :lol:
Saw a sublime green 73 or 74 SE sitting at a garage in a neighboring hick-town today.. didn't have my camera on me but I will get pics next time I'm out that way..
68 Charger last night, in Bothell, on Bothell Everett hiwy and 14th. It sounded pretty healthy, 8 qt oil pan, the mini van pulled up just as i took the picture.

curb looks red to me.....................
yeah, don't think I was actually parking- dropping some one off I think (?)... anyhow those $50 parking tickets aren't a lot of fun, actually if you get zinged for overlapping a curb ramp (like I am in this picture -ahem-) it's quite a bit more that that. Three hundred or so....
Anyhow it's nice to have an excuse to post on this site- have checked it out off and on for quite some time. It's a great resource both for info and for when you need a fix of charger pictures or stories.
So thanks.
And one of these times I'll make it out to one of your charger cruises....
I was heading south bound on I 95 in NC yesterday when I saw a 68/70 Charger on a flatbed heading North. It was a faded yellow color and looked like it was being saved. That was cool to see.
Monday a bone stock unrestored (it sure looked like it) hemi orange '70 caught me by surprise driving by me near Larson, Wi.. Hubcaps with white wall tires and all.
Today at work, going through Jackson, Wi., at a body shop, I spotted this '68. I had time to stop and get a few pics with my phone. I think the guy is asking way to much for what to me looks like a recent barn find that they sprayed with a new coat of paint, and cleaned the interior. The vinyl top was dry, and had one small rip in it too. Still, a very nice project if he would only be asking about half of what he is. I looked around to find someone to ask what engine is in it, but they were all busy and I didn't have that much time to burn (as I was still working).
more ;)
I find it humorous that it just says "68 Dodge"
Do they still make those air fresheners?

I'll get some pictures later but a couple days ago I followed up on a '68 Charger sighting not too far from home. It was the typical scene, cars and junk all over the place, parked on the grass, woman in a bathrobe who had just woke up at 1 pm was out there with the husband and owner towing off a '70 Chevelle to be stored at some "friends" house. The green '68 Charger R/T 440/console auto was sitting in the driveway and has been for years getting more rusty and rotten. He tells me that his dad bought it new and that once restored it'll be worth around $100,000. ::)

thats why he's got fords in the driveway............ :rotz:
He's got a little of everything. Ford Lightning pickup with a Harley in the back of it, a Mitsu 3000 on the front yard, a 90s T-bird, a Vette in the garage, a Chevelle and a bunch of other brand x junk. Not to mention just plain crap everywhere. Parts of appliances, barbecues, rags, puddles of oil, cigarette butts, oil cans, gas cans, you name it. I'm sure he's well loved in the neighborhood.
I drove 40 miles to look at a 1940 something jeep one time. I followed directions down side roads and came upon a very old Jeep with a small tree growing up in the middle of it. Horrified and pissed having gone so far I pulled in and asked the old man working outside if that was the Jeep in the paper for sale. He snapped back: Hell No! I wish people would stop bugging me to buy my Jeep! Relived I thanked him and left to continue on. (I did end up finding a very nice 1942 GWP (Ford) Jeep that day) :smilielol:

First 2 are of the same 1969 Charger (383 big block) Last time I asked how much I was told 12k. 1968 GTX at the same place same price (12k) both cars have been sitting for a decade and the price seems to go up as the cars decay.
The 1970 Charger I saw today at a gas station with an attached shop. I went inside to ask who owned it and how much. The cashier said it was his and it wasn't for sale. The guy told me he picked it up for $3,200 and that he was swapping the motor out. I kept pressing him about buying it but he kept saying it is a really rare car and he refused to sell it. Poor guy doesn't know what he is into, car looks decent for a beater but needs a new engine. Worst of all the roof has got major cancer, the first thing I would do would be to turn it into a convertable :smilielol:.
did ya send him over here????
Sometimes these guys can be persuaded to understand that their cars are not made of gold, sometimes not. I talked to a woman and her husband enough about a '69 to get the asking price down from $12K (that seems to be the popular price range) to $4k. The woman that owned it thought that since the car had a 318 "wedge" that it was worth 4 times what it was. I think the best method to pry these cars out of the hands of hoarders is frequent visits with cash in hand. They always get one-time visitors who tell them they're crazy but rarely do they see a sincere person come by more than a couple times.

I went back this morning to the shop to talk to the owner. It turns out the cashier lied to me yesterday and apparently he is not the owner. One of the mechanics in the shop owns it. I spoke to the mechanic and he told me IF he were let it go he would need at least 10k. The car is a 318 with a vinyl top, he has added a rebuilt 440 but that seems to be about it. I could see maybe asking 7k if the 440 is actually a good reliable build but 10k for an unrestored 318 charger with a rusty crusty roof is just to much. Anyway, I think you are right bull I need to keep going back with cash in hand and see if I can work him way down.

Regardless next time I stop by I will invite him to the site.
I'd go back with $6k in your hand and $1k in your wallet if you really want it. It's worth $6k and although $7k wouldn't be a smokin' deal it's not beyond the realm of fair. As you know it's not worth $10k.

I saw a goldish 3rd gen coming at me on HWY 129 on the way to work last week. It looked like a woman was driving. It's a divided highway with plenty of traffic so I just caught it out of the corner of my eye. I'll have to keep looking.

Ah yep. :2thumbs: I'll pm you.
Well, until my '69 went in the body shop in february of '08, I drove it to work every day in Salem Oregon. I even used it to get groceries, gotta love the trunk space. What is that about an 8 body trunk, hehe?
One day at lunch I noticed they had a NASCAR DeWalt car at Salem Tool, so I whipped in and got a pic of my car sitting next to it.
And of course, I see Dane driving his yellow and white clone Daytona around quite a bit. Saw him on hwy 22 merging onto I-5 about a week ago.
Wile I was out driving my wagon the other day, I saw this guy running around. I didn't get a chance to take a photo then, but thought it was pretty cool to see another green B-body running around. By chance today, I was cruising and happened to see it in a parking lot, so ofcourse I grabbed a shot.

Came across a 3rd gen Sunday, the guy looked at me weird, for snapping a pic.. :rofl:
When is the last time I saw a 66-74 Charger "in the wild?"
Well only last Sunday as a matter of fact....
Took a cruise up the coast with a few Mopar buddies

Found this 69 today, I guess you could say it was caged!
That was on the Seattle Craigslist not too long ago.....
Well, it's heading south on I-5. I was in Tukwila at the time.
These were at a local cruise.
Love the 68!

Introduce yourself? :icon_smile_big:
Been tempted to. I've known where this car was for a couple years now, just never really stopped by. Might have to try to knock on the door during lunchbreak next week.
Few weeks back (maybe a month-2 ago) I saw on Old Windsor Rd In sydney a Green 68 Charger. For a second though I think it may have been a 69 with a 68 grill. Anyone on here own that caR?
Was pretty nice.
Today at work in Horicon, Wi. on Mill street (across from John Deere). Looks like a survivor with a older re-paint (dark blue metallic). Didn't see any rust or bubbles. But then again, it was a fast look over. There were no offers on the seat.
A buddy of mine sent me these, saw it at a truck stop in PHX
Is it just the angle in the first two pics or is the top deck sitting on the front of that 70?

It has to be the angle... I can't see it touching, very close though! Too close for my comfort, if it was my car.
Looks like they also took some air out of the front tires too for clearance.

I Came across a '66 in the wild on HWY 299 in Northern California about 100 miles east of Redding. Sorry, No pics. It was silver. It was a 383 4 bbl A/T car. Factory A/C. Factory power windows. The body was straight and cancer free. All of the trim was there. It was all straight with no pitting in the pot metal. The car had been sitting for ten years, since the tranny went out. The owner was a nice guy who hadn't been able to work on it recently because he was trying to put his kids through college. The only real problens were serious fade from the sunlight on the carpet and a broken tail light. That is not the kind of thing I see EVER! I was stunned!

If you're out that way a lot, you'll see quite a few Chargers.
I know of at least 4 from the Kellyville/Annangrove/Dural area (including a General Lee).
I saw a red '71(?) with a black top and rear spoiler heading south on IH-35 near Retama Park.
My wife found this 500 today while out to lunch. I was jealous!
I just saw a 3rd gen sitting in a driveway coming back a week ago from a wheel alignment in Shorline Wa. Green, just saw the rear, didnt have my phone ready, and didnt have time to go back.
If it's the one in Mountlake Terrace on 236th, that one has been posted before a few pages back. At the beginning of spring the owner yanked the engine, worked on it I assume and put it back in. Been sitting since :'(
As a side note RP23, My 15 yr old daughter saw you driving your Super Bee in Terrace somewhere and HAD (her word) to text me about it, it read something like "I just saw a lime green car that looks like Moms Charger but not a charger" LOL

Thats the one probably. Off of 236th coming back from the Les Schwab on 15th to get it aligned after my front end rebuild. I gotta go back and look at the pics.

So, this is unbelievable... I've found a 4th Charger this week! :coolgleamA: :icon_smile_big:
Took a trip up north past Seattle, found this up where we were at.. Had to pull over and snap a pic!
Yeah, this is it.

Rp, Do you live in Terrace? If you do, you should cruise on over to my casa, I'll mention that it's the HUGE spanish one, if you're from Terrace you know the one of which I speak ;-) I'm always open to meeting fellow Mopar neighbors and showing off my driver collection
Orange 69 possible 70 going down Taylorsville Rd in Huber Heights, Ohio. I had just been out tooling around the neighborhood so I wonder if they seen my junk and went looking. I was in the Jeep or we could have compared dents. I was on my way to Skyline for some coney's and they passed me going the other way or I would have followed them, within reason.
Beautiful day in Western Washington today, and I saw a beautiful 68 on the road! :2thumbs:
Was on the way to my son's soccer game... saw this guy, flipped a U-ie and got a couple pics. My kid says, "this isn't the way to soccer, that Charger doesn't know the way to my game!"
Think I saw a For Sale sign up front. :scratchchin: I WISH
:lol: I've only ever seen 2 Chargers in the flesh, a 69-70 at a show 6yrs ago and my own 73... Disappointing I know... the only motor I see often is I think a 74-75 Camero
Driving down the road a couple years ago and spotted this guy. Not easy taking pictures, driving, and trying to keep up....

great pic's of that charger :2thumbs:
Got passed by a red and white early '70s (71 or 72) charger on the way to work this morning in Salem, OR. It was dark and foggy and I couldn't make out much other than the approximate year and colors, and that it sounded really good when he got on it!
11/30/10: Spotted a '69 General Lee at the Wal Mart (Bandera Rd.) in San Antonio, Texas. It was parked in one of the handicap spaces. Anyone here?

looks a nice 68 :yesnod: don't know if its the way the picture is or my eyes !! but looks like his running tail pipe Hemi resonators :scratchchin: , or something that looks similar :popcrn:
Was cruising today and found a '69 Charger, a '68 R/T, and a early 60's Plymouth Fury four door.
I stopped and looked at the 68 R/T. The owner wasn't the nicest person so I didn't get to confirm if it was a real R/T.
The '69 I will eventually stop ask about.
The owner of the Fury asked me to make him an offer. I offered 1k. He is thinking it over. It is a really nice, solid car.
Looks like the '68 R/T here in town by me.
I've said this before but I'll say it again. It's amazing to me how good these cars look, especially among all the boring cookie-cutter crap on the road around them.
I spotted a an orange 70 Swinger with the twin scoops on the hood that was cherry at the parts store yesterday! 2 blocks away the rag top 300 was back at the gas station, then down the road a 58 Dodge pickup for sale! (I know, not Chargers....but I was impressed!) :2thumbs: (I've bought a micro camera to keep on me but can't decipher the Chinglesh directions yet! :lol: )

Every time I walk outside. Okay that's a lie. I have to open the trailer first. Anyway there are two 73-74s near me sitting in driveways. There's a dark green 68 R/T with a 4 speed in a garage about 4 miles from me. There's a white 68 with a 4spd and 440 that I used to see on the road. He stashed it somewhere. At the local car shows there's a green 68 and a red 66-67. My former coworker is restoring her red 73.
I saw a 69 Charger Tuesday enjoying the Sun in the NW. Was a beautiful day for a drive, he was getting on the freeway as I exited. No chance for a picture, but it was White, looked nice and had a nice rumble to it! Tail panel was white, so I don't think it was an RT. Also had black pin striping around the indents in the door, looked cool. :2thumbs:
I saw a blue 1970 Charger with black vinyl top last week, 5 mins from where I live.
seen a beautiful yellow chally sittin pretty atop a portable parking lot in pontoon beach illinois. she had a friend up there with her. it wasnt mopar but it was sweet lookin. looked to be a 67 camaro,dark blue. dont know which way the highway was taking them, but somebody is awaiting their arrival :2thumbs:
Don't see them often, seen a white 68 a few times a couple years back, Ive been restoring mine since 2002 (Young guy didn't have money back then, now im waiting for it to come back to body shop) Gonna make it a General Lee then i was driving home one day and what did i see parked in a guys garage about 2 mins from my house? a General lee.. Anyone know the paint code for the black around the taillights on a 69 Charger? Also im finding it hard to locate a hood latch, anyone know a place where i can get one? or post some pics of there's so i can look around my stuff to see if i have the parts laying around.. thanks guys
it seem like not that many years ago you could see great cars out an about.now ya can drive 250 miles down the freeway and maybe see 1 neat car driving and it will aways be the other way. a flash a smile on your face and than back to boredom and hundreds of ugly rice boxes and monster pickups blocking your view or running up on your arsss.last trip i was happy to see a old square 60es bronco rolling alone down the rode of life. happy trails :yesnod:
I like to consider myself lucky! Where I live, (in the summer)I see a couple different 1st gens and a few different 3rd gens frequently. It always gets my attention and gets me all hyped up!
I too, consider myself lucky. Here in the Willamette valley, during the summer especially, old cars of all makes and models seem to come out of the woodwork. I didn't really notice as much until I bought my '69, and started going to cruise inns and shows. Some days in the summer, every turn you make, there's a roadster or camaro or late '60s mopar driving by.
Got so excited a couple times last summer, my wife had forcefully remind me drive where we were going instead of following a charger down the road! :icon_smile_big:

I didn't really notice as much until I bought my '69, and started going to cruise inns and shows. Some days in the summer, every turn you make, there's a roadster or camaro or late '60s mopar driving by.
Got so excited a couple times last summer, my wife had forcefully remind me drive where we were going instead of following a charger down the road! :icon_smile_big:
Did you buy your Charger locally?
And have you been to any of the Pentastar Pride & Woodburn National shows?
When and Where are those? :coolgleamA:
That's ok, just ignore my question and talk to Mike. :icon_smile_blackeye:

Saw a green metallic 68 with a black vinyl top leaving the Golden Corral in Bedford Indiana today just after passing a red 68 Coronet on the way into town. There must be some local mopar folks here getting out in the sunshine. Maybe this summer I can join them. :icon_smile_cool:

Close to Indianpolis? I'll be out that way in April, probably too early to spot any Mopars on the road when I'm out there though...
I guess this doesnt really count, but I was driving through town today and saw a semi flat bed full of old crushed cars. One of them was a 69 charger. Wish I knew where they came from. :'(

My 68 was running wild in the neigborhood in Kent today also! Going to tame her down a bit; get some exhaust put on Monday. Right now I have 2' of pipe off the manifolds!

Hey, It was dark and I was by myself! Almost swerved into him when I saw him, I was making a lane change... Here's a pic of my Wild One! :smilielol:
My brother spotted this '69, today I think. I'm sure it hasn't moved in 20 years. If/when I get the address I'll have to take $3k over and see what happens.
Good find! Looks like it's got the rocker trim.....love that option!
looks complete and to have the hood paint, V. top trim and tall bumper guards.. Poss. an SE?..

Sunbust, Tacoma, Wa. Mopars Unlimited (http://moparsunlimited.org/sunbust/)
A little over 300 rides a year the past decade or so. For a while it was the NW's best all Mopar show. Now that Seattle has stabilized their location & the swap meet is back I'd say the Spring Round Up, Seattle, Wa.

Seattle pulled over 300 one of those years in Carnation...
Seattle Mopar show at the beginning of the season and Graham at the end.
So, I'm in Indianapolis for a few days, attending a wedding tomorrow. Went out this earlier this afternoon, heading to the store, southeast of downtown. And I saw a Red 1970 Charger driving down the road! SWEET!!! :drool5: My wife wouldn't let me pull a U-turn, used the "stalker" word again.. I prefer passionate! She reminded me how many times I drove past this 68 I saw in Hawaii. It was pretty awesome though. Then we went by Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Richard Petty Motor experience was there. Had no idea. So I did a ride along, pretty amazing.
Here's a few Charger pic.The yellow one is a 72 rallye 340 4speed.
I saw a red '69 the other day but I was trapped in a parking lot and it was running loose on Division Street. One of the few sunny days we've had here in... I don't know how long.
Sorry no pics but my buddy has a project '68 Charger b5, original 383 4 speed that he drives around occasionally.
Wow, saw a red third generation today with cragar sst's. Been running around for the last twenty years unchanged. Then I past a wine colored first generation shortly thereafter. Pretty cool coincidence. Sorry no pics.
Found this yesterday, only a mile from my house! Both guys helping with my resto know the car, hasn't been licenced since July of last year. I left a note on the door...not a real R/T, G code says 383-2bbl? White interior, console automatic.

Nice find! Looks a bit weathered.. Hope you hear from them.
This GL is on the "other side of the tracks"..(kinda a bad area of town) I've noticed it since I have been here in New Bern, NC (since '08) Has never moved!
Looks to be an R/T.. but seen better days. Pretty beat up. 01 on the side and the flag on top too! Looks like the interior is in there as well..
Pic is a slow drive by "snapping!" from this morning.

My guess is the owner is a bad ass and therefore no one will mess with it that is local.

Or more likely he's got a reputation as a bad ass but if someone were to spend a couple of visits talking to him like a normal human he'd probably consider selling. Not me though. I used to have a lot more patience with Billy Badass and his "my-rusty-Charger-is-worth-fifty-grand" routine.
But now I just think he just needs a good :slap:.
I was talking about why no one messed with it not the after school special breakdown of his mental health.

I wasn't sure but I figured you would correct me as you seem to like doing that. :2thumbs:
Once I get my charger driving, I will probably take it over to the GL and strike up a conversation. :icon_smile_big: Might help him get it in the classified section!

Awesome!! I woud ask the owner what he wants for it very nice charger!
I was going through some old photo at work (photos of billboards we put up) and I found one with a truck towing a 3rd gen on a trailer. I'll post it tomorrow when I'm at the office. The picture isn't too old, I think late 90s or so if memory serves.

whats the address`? maybe I can see it better on "google-view".looks like a nice car!
Found the photo - not as old as I thought, this photo is pretty recent. The billboard has been there a while - probably why I thought it was older.

Great shot! :coolgleamA: Sweet looking Charger.
I've been seeing a lot of third gens here in central Minnesota. I saw a '73 SE on my way to Brainerd, and during prom someone drove a '74.
Saw a green 69 R/T on Highway 99 headed north towards Everett......Black or green top, butt stripe, mag 5's....
Member perhaps?
May 13, 2011: Saw a white '70 Charger traveling east on W. Hausman Rd in San Antonio, Texas. I don't know if my eyes were deceiving me, but it appeared to have a '70 front clip with '68 tail lights.
There's a car carrier that is parked behind Alberton's in Wilsonville, OR every now and then. This time it had a charger on it. :2thumbs:
I hadn't seen a pentastar on the rear axle before.

The taillight section looks terrible without the trim pieces around it..
Great find and pictures! The pentastar on the axle housing is a neat touch. I love the Keystones! :coolgleamA:
Saw this today locally, '71 Super Bee, 440 6-pack automatic.
Nice looking car, didn't get to look it over real good, but seems like a solid mostly original car (looks to have an older repaint). I'm gonna check out some more details about it and try to verify if its a true 6-pack car. I also found out it is for sale.

I don't know if I would be brave enough to ship a Charger like that. Makes me nervous just looking at it.
I shipped mine like that from Vancouver, WA to New Bern, NC... lots of rock chip damage.. and the idiot first connected the support straps to the front valance.. yes.. bent that to shit (repairable though)
And apparently some chic wanted the car, because she put a little love note under the sunvisor with her number on it, asking if I would sell it to her. (Never called her.. my wife thought it was funny.. "yeah right stupid girl".)

Went back, opened the hood, had a 440/4BBL in it. Checked the VIN had a 383 from the factory.

Seen a dark blue 69/70 Charger parked at a local shop on the way to the bank after work. If I didn't have an appointment time to keep I would have stopped.
Saw a Yellow 71' with yellow bumpers and an air grabber hood in Jamul CA today. :icon_smile:
I spotted a beautiful 70 RT Tuesday, enjoying a day of sunshine in Seattle!
I also had a buddy tip me off to on a 69 Charger today. Looks like it's been sitting awhile with some Mopar brothers...
Mine will be out and about this weekend for the Cruise to Colby in Everett Wa. this weekend :2thumbs: ;D :yesnod:

I recognized it once I got a chance to look though some picture of previous car shows.
Holy Moly, I drove by where the GL was (the one I posted a picture of a lil while back)... thing was GONE!!!!! just dead grass in the spot it was... very curious as to where it went!!! :scratchchin:
Might of posted this last year. saw it today. Brings it to work.
Was in the middle of my very first fill-up today, couldn't get the phone up quick enough.
'70 Charger, deep brown/bronze with vinyl top and stick shift went past on US1.
For the past 15+ years I have been seeing a 66 or 67 silver Charger uncovered behind a garage out in the County. Must be one of these days car...
seen a almost pearlish pinkish color 67 yesterday! I couldn't get the camera on my phone to turn on.. plus we were on the highway! Luckily for me.. I should be able to see it again, since the shop I have mine at, the charger owner frequents!
just went for a cruise to alton il. when i was comming around a corner onto broadway there was a 71 purple charger with yellow flames on the hood and front fenders. it happened so fast that i was past it before there was a chance to get a pic. is this car on here somewhere cuz it seems that i have seen it before. or mabey it was at monster mopar. :shruggy:
Found this sitting not far from my house a few weeks back(was literally doing cartwheels in the streets LoL) no plates 14'' road wheels ,tiny factory looking exhaust checked the vin XS car looks to be GG1
the purple 69 ive seen before and actually worked on in the past when we knew the owner when my dad had his 68 awhile back the 69 is a 318 car now a 383 and the nose piece is missing so he chopped up a headlight door and made it look like a 68 grille lol -MATT
Cool. I love it when people shoot photos.
Spotted these in Vegas last weekend.

saw this parked at a local park today at a baseball game , orange 66 or 67 with a 440
Going to work today, pulled out into traffic, tooling down the road, fun, fun heading to work. Looked in the rear view mirror, & guess what my eyes beheld. A 70 red hard top Cuda with a shaker hood, :2thumbs:, guy was behind me all the way till I had to turn off, onto the bypass. Going about 55-60 m.p.h. so I guessing 4.10s, at a stop light, sounded like a 4-spd also when he took off. When he passed me as I was turning, saw the 440 hockey strip on the side. I guessing he lives in Ft. Wayne. sweet looking ride.
Saw A lime Green 68 RT In Bellevue Nebraska last night. Sounded nice, its amazing how these cars stand out.
Here's one in the wild.

Cool. If you see a `68 R/T in RR-1 burgundy driving around, that's probably me (only one I know if in the area).
great, need to hook up at a show sometime :2thumbs:

We saw a '73 charger r/t last night at the corner of 69th place and myrtle ave in Queens!
70 charger that was sitting behind a upholstery shop near Auburn AL
Can't believe I saw a white 68 dodge Charger last Tuesday driving through sun Valley in down town Gladstone QLD "Australia" what the hell.I never thought I'd see the day,and in Australia or well I could,t be the only one in town to own a Dodge Charger for ever.lol.At least he's goes I suppose.Sorry no pic just yet.
Two weeks ago this Saturday. A '68 black on black crossing over the overpass near home Depot way up here north of the border in British Columbia. Near Cody Country! :2thumbs:
Absolutely immaculate. Sounded very grumpy too! Didn't have my phone with me for pix, but she was a beauty! :yesnod:

passed an orange 3rd gen, black top, hide away headlights heading north on freeway 255, toward edwardsville il. good looking car. :2thumbs:
Went to pick my son up from summer camp today and what do we see, but a 1970 RT/SE Charger. yellow with a black vinyl roof. Any other day and I would have had the camera in the car, but today it was at home waiting on the battery to charge so I could get some photo's of the baseball tournament tonight.
That was me, nvrbdn, man that 255 is rough! haven't gotten new front tires and was sweating one coming apart there, tires from AZ don't know how old they are. I was heading in to work, 2nd time car has been "legally" on road since 96. 1st trip that wires weren't smokin!

I've wondered if my car would ever make it on here. Thanks for the compliments guys. Here's a couple of more pics. I've been a member of this site and the old dodge-charger.com since 2001, but don't post very often.

car looked good from the other side of the freeway. :2thumbs:
71/73 red charger with white top. Westbound 91 freeway (Riverside/Corona) California. Period correct license plate. Couldn't get close enough for more details due to traffic.
JR,nice 70 you got there. I live in Hayden, about 3 hours north of you.
Followed that blue '70 Charger that I seen earlier for awhile in my Dart. I was hoping he would stop so I could get to see his car closer but he didn't stop and I became late for work :icon_smile_big:
A new friend I met in a 69 GTO conv brought over pictures of his 69 R/TSE 4 speed car he owned in the 80's. He sold it to someone in NY and hasn't seen it since. Enjoy.
More. No VIN Chris.

There is a lot the pictures don't show. I didn't see any rust on it during the car show (it's the same Charger my Dart was parked by) but there was lots of little marks where gravel has chipped tiny pieces of the paint (think of lots of tiny white dots) and there are also a few small dents as well. The car is simply a 383 auto.
Pictures of the car next to my Dart at the carshow:

Naw - I almost bought all the guys stuff over 10 years ago. I did get the SE Daytona 665 (now it belongs to another member here) off of him but I passed on the rest of the stuff. All the stuff was in B.C.
This is from a Warsaw Poland photographer...so it's not really in the wild.
Got it off the net.
Note the Lic plate, and is that an R/T, I spy in the grill?

I'm old school (66-70). When I hear SuoerBee, I think Coronet. I remember the first time I saw the Charger get the SuperBee name back in the 70s and thinking, that ain't right. Nice pictures.
That would be like Chevy building a Nova Z/28
well they made a Nova -bodied GTO---

I was unable to get my camera out fast enough to take a pictures of a very nice looking purple 1971 Charger R/T, white top and rear wing today.It was heading east on National rd in St. Clairsville OH. Hopefully this car belongs to a member here and can post a picture. Been here a little over a week and this is the first real Mopar I have seen.

Saw a 70 Charger while driving through NC yesterday.
In a fenced lot, it was fir sale... No time to stop though...
Wasn't for sale, last time I saw it...
My buddy just saw this

Well kids I found the owner of this car by luck while browsing the local KIJIJI classifieds cars ads :2thumbs:
The guy has a duster for sale locally & after reading his description it said...."Found my dream car..a 1968 Charger! So I called him and low and behold it was the yellow I spotted in the spring. I've told him about the site but here is a pic he sent me. Happy to find another 68 owner here as I only know of 1 other in the area :icon_smile_big:
Here is his note to me...
My car was a garage find, being a contractor I completed a fence job threeyears back for a gentleman in the south end of sarnia, while we were there Iwas rambling on about my duster. He then open the garage door to show me hisbaby, there it was! He had it for 24 years, and he only put three thousandmile on it. Called me in spring, said wasn't able to take care of it like heuse to. Made me an offer that I could not refuse. I'm guessing if we onlyget one lottery in life, this would be mine lol.Quote from: RIDELIKEHELL on May 27, 2011, 11:13:17 AM

Here's one that has been sitting for at least 10 years. I looked it up on Google Maps street view and it's still there.
70 R/T (no hemi badge to be seen, so I assume it's a 440 car).
There also used to be another one parked in the street that is now gone.
Wonder what is in the garage? :scratchchin:
4002 Eastern Ave N, Seattle WA

Hows it going RallyeMike?? Is that a current picture of the 70 RT? I have seen it off an on for the past few years, as of August or September, it had disappeared. Either gone, or garaged.
Last week, I saw the same blue '72 that I posted about being for sale earlier in the year, parked outside the same dealership, Coop's Car Connection (Salem, OR), on the street, as though the owner brought it back, or perhaps the dealership owner decided to keep it for himslelf. (there were no for sale stickers on it anymore)
It's a good looking 318 car, but they were asking $12,000 for it when it was for sale.
...saw a silver 69 w R/T stripe on the back of an open car carrier about 40 minutes outside palm springs on I 10
Anyone here buy it?? It was heading west towards LA
This was on Saturday.
Today I saw a 68 on a trailer, its looked like it was just painted, a Real nice Black!! It was in Albertville,MN. I was wondering if its someone from here.(I wish I had my camera at the time).

Damn, good eye! I didn't spot them the first time through.
I keep looking......not much luck, unless I go out to my mopar "source" and see his stuff while I'm getting misc odds and ends for my car.
But I did see a Dart "Lite" the other day, and a Satellite "Sundance" :icon_smile_big:

ok, if anyone on here has purchased a light green 2nd gen charger and is having it shipped to them, it could have just gone through southern illinois this afternoon. about 3;15 east of st.louis on a car hauler.
Found this 70 Charger 500 today via a tip it was at a gas station. Nice car that needs lots of work. Underside looks good except for rust on drivers floor. The garage was trying to get it road worthy, but here's a shock they were having many electrical issues. Finally when the starter solenoid went the guy said he's calling the owner to have him take it away. They were trying to figure out why it wouldn't charge the battery? Anyway. Nice original Orange charger though. I left my number and a picture of my car so hopefully we can meet and I can help him out.

The garage was trying to get it road worthy, but here's a shock they were having many electrical issues. Finally when the starter solenoid went the guy said he's calling the owner to have him take it away. They were trying to figure out why it wouldn't charge the battery? Anyway. Nice original Orange charger though. I left my number and a picture of my car so hopefully we can meet and I can help him out.
Great find! Hopefully he will get in contact and you can help him out/ guide him here :2thumbs:
great find, good pic's :2thumbs:
probably needs a new wiring harness or something.

At that time we found the starter relay to be N/G. If you jumped it the car started. If you turned your key the amp gauge showed a voltage drop.
Saw this beauty while on the road today.

So I followed him until he pulled over when he saw me in the rear view

I was at Target yesterday afternoon when i spotted this '70. It was right after the Big 3 show at The Q too, where there was a nice '70 there as well.
My dad sent me this one cruising west on the 126. Anyone know it? Its new to me. Check out the size of the antenna on the back.

Great pics! Love that look
If this same thread had been started at the same time about Mustangs on a Mustang forum it would probably be 200+ pages long. That's how many more of those there are I bet.
That antenna is a flag pole. :lol:
looks like dad does the same as me when using the phone camera with the finger. thats one heck of a whip antena.
had to run through town today and during a shortcut seen this in a driveway. met Aaron and got to check out his 68 charger 440 block and old school slots with the mickey thompson 50's on back. :2thumbs:

I saw a 69 Charger Tuesday enjoying the Sun in the NW. Was a beautiful day for a drive, he was getting on the freeway as I exited. No chance for a picture, but it was White, looked nice and had a nice rumble to it! Tail panel was white, so I don't think it was an RT. Also had black pin striping around the indents in the door, looked cool. :2thumbs:
I think I just met the guy that own es this 69 Friday. I went to get a flex plate off someone on craigslist, he had a 69 Charger in his garage when I pulled up!!! "SWEET!" :o
It had gold accent colors though, but it was awesome. We talked for awhile and he told me to bring mine up once I get her on the road. :2thumbs:
Uh-oh. Yesterday I saw a General Lee near my house and then today my buddy sent me this picture of a local GL. No other info yet but I'm thinking it's probably the same car and I'm pretty sure I know who it is. :'(
Ouch!! That hurt!
That just makes me nervous. Maybe I need better insurance.

Well, at least the metal is clean. :icon_smile_big: So word has it the guy got rear-ended by a teenie-bopper girl while sitting at a stop light. $10 says she was texting.
I spotted this General Lee at the beach yesterday and I parked beside it. Anyone notice something unusual about that GL?
It's a '68.

I agree with you. Looks like an AMD poster child but not a total. This guy does some flipping so I wonder if he's playing that card to get some hits on another acquisition.

Thats what I was thinking when I first saw the pic. Looks like it could be straighten on a frame rack and the parts that need replacing are available aftermarket now. Maybe he didn't have good insurance :shruggy:. I have often wondered too with classic insurance, say you totalled your car, could you take a little less of the agreed value and keep your wrecked car for the engine and other parts? I know you can do that with regular car insurance, I got a friend that had an old beater he drove around, someone backed into it and the insurance company totalled it. They were gonna pay him 1800 for it but he wanted to keep it, so they paid him 1400 and he got to keep the car.

yup, I kept my '69 wreck. they took out $500, which was totally a-ok with me because as bad as my wreck looks, there's enough parts in there that make it worth WAY more than $500 (such as the engine, trans, rear end, which is all fixable and without major damage, minor things here and there like pieces of trim, interior parts, etc).
the car MAY also be shown at carlisle and the nats if it all goes right, my friend's dad really wants to have the car shown and have me there to tell my story. Hopefully it happens, as I've never had a chance to go to either and I'd love to, he's very "in", so to speak, in the mopar world, so there's a good chance...
we saw this 70 when leaving Windsor Ontario today
I saw a nice 3rd gen go by our place yesterday but couldn't get me camera quick enough. Also while I was out on Friday driving into Forest Ontario on a back road I noticed a 3rd gen sitting in an open garage. I didn't have time to stop in and check it out but they had a sign our front with "Eggs for sale" . I figure this is a perfect chance next time I'm on that road to stop in :2thumbs:

Yet another GL clone but not the one I had seen last year...this one the paint was slightly faded.

On my way to Burger King a couple days ago, I saw our local '69 charger daytona clone in Salem, OR. (I saw you, Dane, but you didn't see me due to the parked cars...)
I was cutting across the parking lot one way and he was heading across the other way (away from BK).
Makes me wish my '69 was driveable. :drool5:

Found this behind my RV. ;)
No more lurking in the For Sale sections of dozens of Internet sites.
Originally one of 200 /6 automatics, now a '68 date coded 440.
Very cool.
Just your typical Mopar muscle used car lot here in Las Vegas, NV with 3rd gen Chargers

You wouldn't see any mopars in a used car lot over here. A Caddy maybe.
Where in Vegas is it?? Nice find.
charleston/freemont/south of the intersection on the right (or west side) of fremont about a block
i can't figure out how to save an image of google maps so................ from charleston, freemont goes south and turns into boulder highway at sahara, so if you can get to charleston/sahara/boulder highway you can figure it out
this car lot has always been strictly mopar (95%) since i moved out here in 98. once in a while you'll see a trans am or camaro and whats funny is they are usually in better condition than all the mopars. he does his own body work also in the yard right in front of the sales trailer
Blue 69 that looked much like mine but he was running Cragars on the back and magnum 500's up front. :eek2:
Yesterday saw two 68's, one black a couple houses down the road, and a tan one at a garage sale in Marienville PA. Both nice cars. :2thumbs:
I saw a blue 68 Charger on blandford stage road in russell ma yesterday. I almost wrecked my truck because I was in disbelief thay I saw a charger. Had a max wedge scoop on the hood.
Today in Big Bend, Wi., a '73 or '74 light green metalic S.E. with a black top and interiour, with mag wheels.
There are a few within a 30 mile radius of me. There's a beautiful baby blue 68', a nice general lee, 2 72\73s(don't know how to tell but they are always cruising together). A little farther east of me across the susquehanna river is a real 69 daytona that sees cruises and the occasional dragstrip.(440 auto). These are the ones coming to mind right now that I see on a regular bassis.
"In the Wild" I thought he was talking about ones sitting in a field. :shruggy:
buddy just sent me this today im guessing its Red Mists, seams like im the only person in town that hasnt seen his car in person! haha
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d85/metaldrummer1/rmcharger.jpg)
but I did see this one when I went to pay my tire account this morning, first time the car has left garage in 2 years he's going to paint it turqouise with a pearl stripe and give it to his son

Other than the towel rack..... lol
The forum keeps sending an error report eveytime I try to send a front shot of the car. Error says that this file already exists. Any ideas??? I tried moving the pic around, but that did not work.
Give it a unique name...... like 007charger or something
Yesterday....saw a black 67 Charger, looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor...of course no pic because you just don't see these things driving around these parts...and I hate cell phones so I don't carry one around with me...guess I'll have to start...owner is a local guy, I'll see it again.
Hmmmm!!!! Try this!!
Thank's Doc!!!!! :2thumbs:
Thanks for the pic.
I could sorta see something was happening up front on the first pic you posted.
Had wondered whether hood blackouts would suit my Charger.
Not sure if I actually like it now I've seen it though.
I think it would look great on your car. :Twocents:

You're talking about the blackout from the hood scallops back to the windshield? Yes.
That's right
Personally I love it and I think it'd look great on your car because of the color. There are some I wouldn't put it on but I like it against the bright colors.
Where does the black stop?
Does it go into the plenum area where the grilles are?
I know I could do it in black vinyl to see if I liked it.
It's always removable.

Was available on 69 and 70 Chargers. V21 on the 69's and very rare.
V21 was what the owner refered to it as. How come no 440 call outs ?
I have a 68 Charger R/T 440 4-speed and have gotten use to going to shows of 500+ cars and seeing less than 20 Mopars or an evening show and shine and being the only Mopar. No problem, I love my Charger and others seem to enjoy it even tho they drive other makes. I moved 300 miles to a different part of the state and still the same scenario. That's cool. One day the UPS driver sees my garage door open and hits the brakes and runs up my driveway. He breathlessly says he's seen me driving around but never knew which house I owned. He said there's a Mopar guy across the County Rd with a barn full of hemis!!!. Wait, did he say hemis?? A barn full? I find out the guy's name and cold call him and introduce myself as a Mopar neighbor and he and his wife are real excited about getting together. Very cool.
Turns out they're a great couple who have become good friends. Oh, and about their stash of cars. A trio of hemi cars, a nice Dart conv, and a super clean Superbird. I'm in heaven.

Just saw a white 70 Charger in Kent! I'm not quick enough with my camera phone.. :shruggy: Dang it!
I know of a few 68's but can't land any of them.
1) I know where a red 68 Charger sits. Extremely solid & all there. He would sell it for alot of money, but I just don't have the money he wants for it.
2) Also know of a orange 68 that sits way in the back of someone's back yard. The people that live there are only renting & say they were told it belongs to the owners family memeber & don't know if it is for sale. They are supposed to ask the owner of the house for me next time they talk to them.
3) I also know of a gold 68 Charger in the back of a company/storage lot. It has been there for at least 20 years that I know of. I used to drive a semi for a company & the only way to see it was from the cab of the semi because it sits up so high. There is no name on the building, no address or anything. I have tried everything from calling the city to leaving notes in the mailbox inquiring about the Charger with no luck so far.
I just saw a black 68, looked possibly like a Bullit clone! Sweet. :drool5: :drool5:

Dang, I want it. Look at that patina. I would say original paint. LOL
The snow in Denver hasn't been good to that Charger :'(
I didn't have a camera but I saw a 69 Charger on the freeway in Portland the other day. Pretty sure it was the same guy who got pasted while driving his General Lee last summer.
Just now saw a 73-74 on a trailer heading east on I80, by Gothenburg, NE. Tried to snap a picture with my phone, but wasn't fast enough.
saw a 69 green road runner on top of a car hauler here in the midwest dont know which way it was heading when it left. looked like a fairly solid project. :2thumbs:
I found this 3rd gen Charger on the way home from work today! Looks pretty good! :2thumbs: And it's only 4 blocks from my house! I'll have to mosey on over there once I get my tranny back in...
Also have a wild shot of mine from last week. :coolgleamA:
Saw this 68 driven by a old timer going north on 101. Followed him from the Golden Gate Bridge all the way to Marin..
That's awesome! :2thumbs:
I dig the trailer hitch on it yet
Can you imagine all the "is it for sale" they get?

Saw this 73 on the road today. He pulled into my neighborhood and stopped. I jumped out and introduced myself. Nice driver with a 318. He said he'd like to do some work on the interior, but it drives good.
:cheers:
saw this one today at the jack in the box order box. sounded sweet and mean. didnt have the time to talk about the build. mabey next time.
:2thumbs:
I have spotted the following:
-A '69 yesterday, and it looked to be in pretty good shape.
-A '68 that was at a shop, but it has since closed down and the charger is gone (about six months ago).
-A '69 at a shop, but it is no longer there (about six to eight months ago).
-A really nice '70 B5 (?) in McAllen, Texas (within the last month).
last years show in dtown
I spoted a 1969 Charger today, in the pouring rain! Scared the hell out of the wife when I said "It's a Charger!!" (she was napping) Flipped a U-turn, got a couple pics. Once again, my wife accused me of stalking... :drool5:
that's a nice looking car :drool5:

Love that green. :drool5:
Thought my forever-work-in-progress '72 was the only third gen in town... then look who pulls up next to me at the parts store! '73 work-in-progress, 318, 727, all the chrome, apparently they're working with a full parts car to help out.

Use a magnifying glass and zero in on the tail lights. You'll see "Super Bee". "Super" on the left tail light and "Bee" on the right tail light. I couldn't capture it clearly with my camera due to short window of opportunity and the fact we were in motion.
I didn't notice it, thanks for pointing it out.
Found this beauty sitting in a storage lot. Very clean car considering the tires make it look like it hasn't been moved in about a decade. :cheers:

Hmmm i wonder whats going on with them :scratchchin: maybe in a couple years you'll see 2 restored 68's and a 69 .... that or you'll see 1 general lee, and 2 parted out 68's :eek2:
That is interesting. :scratchchin: Well, who ever it is - they have good taste. :2thumbs: Someone tell him to get on this forum and tell us the plans for those Chargers. :popcrn:

I'd like to know too, but every time I drive by, the garage doors are closed (the property is gated), and it looks like no one is home.
Hopefully I'll talk to the owner to find out the plans for the cars; I drive my 68 by there at least once a week, so that should get me in the gate... :icon_smile_big:

Did Travis/69Charger2002 move to California or something!?
Just saw a white 68 Charger going north across the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm in town for some Giants games and wanted to walk the bridge this morning. Hell ya!! Woohoo!!
:drool5: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
The Giants game ? They changed their name to Gigantes or something Mexican. :scratchchin:
The Giants do that sometimes for heritage night. I wonder if that 68 Charger owner is a member on here. I cross that bridge every day for work and never see old Chargers except one time seeing an old timer driving a stock green 68. I posted a pic of it a few pages back. Where are you from GRDPRX?

Yup, it was in honor of Cinco de Mayo. I'm from the Seattle area.
It certainly was a sight to see, beautiful white 68 with black stripes. Only got to see her driving away, but she looked in great condition.
Cinco de Mayo...= Sink the hoe in Ohio.

On our way home a couple days ago, saw two '69 charger daytonas on Lancaster Dr in Salem Or. (waiting at the light at Rickey, headed south)
Well, I know the yellow and white one is a clone (darn nice one too) because it was Dane. Not sure about the pretty blue one that he was following though.
Sure was a thrill to see not one but two out driving around. :drool5: :icon_smile_big:

After seeing this one I started thinking about how many Chargers might be in Tijuana :scratchchin:.
I've seen this thing probably 30 times since it's real close to the auto paint store I frequent but this is the first time I remembered to bring a camera. It's not nearly as nice close up as I thought it was going to be. Apparently he's a Broncos fan.

On our way back from soccer practice, 4th Plain & Hwy. 503 intersection this Charger pulled up beside us. You know when you tell someone you own a Charger & they give you one of those "yeah right" looks. He gave me one of those. He said he was on his way to 1/8 mile drags @ PIR.
Good lookin' rig, looked like an all original one.
Saw a red GenI on a road about 1km away from my house, I was more trying to see who was driving if I knew them, but no. At least there another local one I didn't know about :2thumbs:

Well, I probably would have found that out yesterday at the cruise-in at Adam's Rib BBQ (saw both of them sitting there) but it was full by the time we got there, so we just drove on by.
Since we can't afford to finish my charger and we drive an '11 challenger, if we can't put the challenger in the show/cruise-in we usually don't go/stay. In this case it was just full, but unfortunately some places don't like newer cars, even if they are muscle cars. I need a window sticker that says "my other car is a '69 charger"......
Should have known it was Dane's, it was beautiful and he does good work.

Green 69 Charger with no motor and headers hanging low, had slots also. It was not far from my parents house in Centerville Ohio sitting out by a garage, most likely to pull the engine. Car looked solid but I didn't stop, not my style. If I see a Charger out driving around I will say something to the person but I don't go on peoples property to BS.
I found this old soldier last summer does it count? I try to help out the owner best I can but he still doesn't have it on the road yet.

I"ve seen that thing in Sandy Valley last year.. then we went to the saloon in Good Springs!
I can count the total number of times I've seen a '68-'70 Charger (the only years I've ever been on the lookout for) "in the wild", in my entire life, on one hand.
I've been on the lookout for them ever since I was 4 or 5 years old (1979/1980), because of The Dukes of Hazzard. In 1980 or so we saw one in front of us on the interstate; my brother and I were quite excited about that. He said, "Look, it has that thing," (referring to the tunneled rear window; we didn't know what to call it). I suppose it could have been a Chevelle or GTO or something, given that the tunneled rear window was the only thing we were going by.
By the time I was 6 or 7 years old (1981/1982), I had General Lee toy cars and models, so I knew exactly what they looked like, and they were my favorite thing to draw as well. In fact, I recently came across this picture in the attic that I drew when I was 6 or 7:
(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7076/vmd5.jpg)
I went to see one at the junkyard that was painted like the General Lee and had been used as a dirt track car, but I never saw one "in the wild" again until the early 1990s, when I saw a dark blue one with a well-used, but solid, appearance, parked at the local autoparts store.
In the late 1990s I saw a '69 in the oncoming lane as I was driving into Pittsfield, Maine. It appeared to be T3 Light Bronze, one of my favorite Mopar colors, with a black vinyl top and R/T stripe. It was such an awesome sight seeing that thing coming toward me; low, wide, and mean looking; with that low gaping maw of a grille and high bulging rear quarters; looking like a crouching steel predator ready to pounce. I saw a string of other restored classic cars right behind it, so I assume a car show or something similar had just let out.
That's the last one I ever saw "in the wild".

That's funny. Probably most kids that grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard drew the General Lee at one time or another.
I found this Charger drawing in the attic too, which I drew in 8th or 9th grade:

sorry, but no camera to get pic's. the local arby's had a small cruise tonight. 15 cars there, 1 was a white 69 R/T charger, and 1 was a red 71 charger.

That picture reminds me of a guy I went to see when I was 18 or 19 (1993 or 1994) and wanted a '69 Charger bad. The owner of a local garage / gas station pointed me in his direction, and he only lived about 10 miles away. When I got there he took me around to his backyard and there were at least 20 second-generation Chargers sitting back there (and no other types of cars), all of them parts cars. In addition he had one parked under shelter which was in excellent condition, inside and out: a green '68 with a black vinyl top, stock 14" road wheels and trim rings (Magnum 500 style), 318 automatic with column shifter. That place was quite the Wonderland for me, especially since it was the first time I'd ever gotten a chance to take a real close look at a second-generation Charger (I'd been a fan of them since I was 4 years old, due to The Dukes of Hazzard).
I contacted him when I started working on my '69 in 2011, but he had long since sold them all (the town was hassling him about having what they considered to be a junkyard without a licence, even though it couldn't be seen at all from the road nor from any neighboring properties; could only be seen from the air; plus he needed the money), including his beloved green '68 (which he sorely regrets to this day).
Least he sold them, instead of them getting crushed. Stinks he sold the nice one, but got to eat.
Saw a ''new - to me at least" Plum 70 R/T at a parkup show last Sunday. U code 4 speed, black interior :coolgleamA:
This morning I spotted a black 68 with white bumble bee stripes heading North on 19th Ave E., about to turn West on Aloha St. I couldn't get a picture because I was driving the other way. That is my neighborhood (Capitol Hill) in Seattle and I never saw it before. Wondering if the owner is a member.
Found this 69 sitting on the south side of KCMO. has rust in the quarters and looks like its sat for a while. No one was home to talk to.
Mike
was a nice R/T at BWW on Craig rd here a couple of weeks ago, was in a hurry so i didn't stop, wasn't a 68 but i don't know the back of a 69 or 70 enough to tell them apart
Mike, I hope you left a note. :yesnod:
Saw a poorly painted pinkish/purplesh 68 (Looked like shiney womans nail polish) driving around the other day. Looked decent, but was missing a few things in regards to trim and emblems.
I hope mine turns out better.
6spd68, well remember one thing, his runs and drives. That counts for something these days.

This is true, he is one up on me. I'm just being overly critical, probably more so based on the fact that mine is still in progress. Indeed, my prior post was in poor taste.

Already have the complete driveline (Have the 5.7, will start building the stroker engine come spring as well). Will have to figure out the interior situation and what direction I go.
I haven't posted a progress thread or anything as I'm sure enough rotisserie shell restoration threads exist already. I may do one later on for the 5.7HEMI/6SPD install, as that's not as common here. Trust me, the car looks a lot different then it did that day back in June when I picked it up. (Avatar)
That being said, Spring 2015 is a realistic date. Always have to leave buffer room though.
Post up some progress 'pics; we'd love to see 'em...
yes we would :2thumbs:

Mike, I hope you left a note. :yesnod:
No, its just a 69. ::) Now if it was a 71, I would pitch a tent and wait until someone got home. :2thumbs:

About 2 weeks ago I noticed this sitting in front of a house about 5 miles from where I live. Got caught behind a school bus the other day on my way to work, so I grabbed my cam and took a pic....

Saw the red 440 6pk Gen I again locally yesterday, still havent been able to talk to the guy
Also saw a blue Marlin on the motorway heading out west , definetly a blue whale of a car
:icon_smile_big:
71 or 72 (couldn't see the side marker lights from the distance I took the pics)
Up on blocks in Las Vegas, NV
For some odd reason I like looking at cars from the southwest just sitting in the desert kinda waiting to be fixed up like a barn find in the country.

I was thinking corvette also.
Looks like a Cheeta with the roof removed.
Took a ride out with Speedo to Larry the plumbers place out in Rhinebeck NY a few weeks ago to scavange parts for a 70 Cuda ragtop project he sold to a guy.
A lotta sad sights to see... and some that could possibly be fixed... His place was in a copy of mopar muscle a few months back.
These are just some of the Chargers...

I agree.
Living import/jap free.
Went on a weekend run down the line & caught up with a 70 Charger 500, a 70 Charger R/T and a 72 383 Charger. Nice
I wonder if that blue '68 is a true R/T with the wild life growing out of the rear driver's side window.
The R/T badge is on the front grille but not the rear tail panel just the Arrow.
Either way it's a shame just sitting there.

These types save them till the day they die, then in a hasty property clean up most of the good car & parts get very much wasted or don't fall into the proper hands.
There is no way one guy can restore even half of that rusted junk, even to restore a couple of them he would have to sell off another 10 parts cars to fund it.
A guy I meet on and off over the last couple years got larry the plumbers number from me and took and ride and bought the Pièce de résistance ... aka the 70 Superbird. Price undisclosed but less than what he has been offered in the past. So it runs and drives and he brought it out to the pizza place cruise last Tuesday :2thumbs:

It's a scene from Two Lane Blacktop.

Lmao......NICE
I don't know if this counts as "in the wild", but I stumbled across this worthy 1967 Charger in a scrapyard in Ontario back in October. This kind of thing is completely unheard of these days, especially in the eastern rust belt. The only thing I could tell from looking was that is was from South Dakota, and somebody had started to disassemble it for a restoration, then it was junked. Perhaps the owner died? All the nuts and bolts were in ziplock bags, complete with tags noting their locations.
That is an unusual find these days. Looks like white interior too, how far from you is the place?
At least they put it on top of the pile :)
I think if it is the wrecking yard who knows what happeded to the ownership or if it was ever transfered to Ontario would just make it a parts car at best
couldn't resist... I think it must be a 74 :nana: its a cargo ship that was loading gasoline at our refinery

Since I live in New Brunswick, and that particular junkyard is in Ontario, is say it's quite a distance from me. If anybody would like the particulars as to its location, feel free to PM me.
Saw a really nice '71 R/T on my way home from work yesterday.
Hey RideLikeHell, its the little known Charger of the Seas :lol:
Drove by the body shop where my 68 will be getting buffed this coming spring and saw this. I've seen it before but can't remember where.
Same one?
Maybe. The only obvious difference I see right off is the grill. Verticle bars and surround painted on one, but not on the other. Is your pic from Woodburn?
More obvious is the front license plates.

I guess that blue is like black in some ways'. You can't throw a rock @ a car show & not hit a black 2nd gen Charger. :icon_smile_wink:
The lights in the front valence do not fit the same in the 2 blue Charger pictures either
To me it`s the parking lights difference?? Top one looks good & normal, bottom not so much. :Twocents:
Parking lights ? I never seen that option. Do you use those to park ?
Quote from: ACUDANUT on February 14, 2014, 10:18:14 PM
Parking lights ? I never seen that option. Do you use those to park ?
It's not an option; it's standard equipment. Check your dash bezel next to the light switch. It should say OFF, PARK and ON. Most cars nowadays have the turn signals in the same housings as the parking lights. Yes, back in the bad old days, people used those for parking on narrow, dark streets to avoid being hit. They are not for parking while sitting in the back seat with your honey. :smilielol: While the practice is long gone in the U.S., the name remains. Up until the advent of sealed beam bulbs, a lot of cars had a CITY position, too, which pretty much just allowed other people to see the car's headlights, rather than providing the driver with any light ahead. That was for brightly lit city streets. Not a great idea.
In Europe, parking lights are turned on by using the turn signal lever, so they only light on one side, for use depending on which side of the street the car is parked.
As long as we are on the subject of old fashioned terms for cars, here's a quiz: Where are wing windows and why are they called that? Hint: They don't make the car fly.
Forward edge of an window opening. Sort of hanging out there in the breeze and adjustable to keep that breeze out of the interior, a precursor to the vent window.

Before I bought my charger I had never seen one ever except at a few car shows. I live in northern Alberta. Then I buy mine and I'm pulling into the local car wash and theres buddy wiping down his red '67. My first one I ever saw and it's two blocks from where I used to live. Smiling as I pull into the back of the car wash I just happen to look to the right and sitting in the back lot of the building next door is another '67, although this one was rust and had no wheels. Still couldn't believe it. Almost fainted.
It's kinda funny how you don't see any of a particular vehicle until you have one. :lol: I noticed that too when it came to driving my truck, and now my daily. Hope it works for the Charger
Spotted this on my way in to work this morning. Sweet looking ride!!! :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:
Nice.
IMHO, if you are set on putting a scoop on a Charger, at least use a mopar one. i.e. 6 pack scoop.
Ran into this fella Sunday and his beautiful charger. It has a 440 indy with INDY heads .... and it's running a 4.56 gear... he said its a real mover.... sorry for the cut off picture I couldn't see with my display on my phone
That's pretty too! Nice to see folks giving the fastbacks a warming over like that.
He got the car outta Cali and has an extra dash,gauges & lots of the trim & mouldings. In the process of getting everything put back on it as he bought it in pieces with fresh paint from a guy that worked for Chrysler tha was in his 80's. Sounded real healthy. You can see my slouch in the back ground

I don't think there is an air filter. He must of took it off for pic's. :Twocents:
I was at a carshow in Spokane and found 2 chargers! A 69 (gen.lee) and a 70. The cool thing is the 69 (gen.lee) and my car are only 7 cars appart (between) on the vin! Built in the same plant on the same day! (mine is the blue one)

In south Seattle at the Harbor Freight Tools this morning and saw a '70 cruise past, B5 with white top and white tail stripe. DC member car?
Saw this 74' for sale in my neighborhood today. :2thumbs:
looks like a 73 to me.
Sign in the window said 74' I'm not a third gen guy so those details allude me.
They are identical (73-74's). I was just playing. :cheers:

Last Saturday at the car show at the Evergreen Aviation Museum I had a beutiful '70 charger parked 3 cars behind me. Talked to the owners, really nice people from Washington. I believe the name they used on their sign was "black magic".

Yes, 74's have more rubber on them that protrudes outward.
Also there were some that were entirely all rubber with no chrome, probably on the low end models.
:cheers: :cheers:
Actually it is difficult to tell a 73 from 74 at a glance. I always thought the 73 had the chrome with pad bumper guard and the 74 was solid.
Turns out it was an option (Chrome/pad = Deluxe), must be few were ordered that way in 74 since I see many more with just the rubber pad.
2 differences actually are the steering wheel and seat belts. 74 seat belt and shoulder harness were one, 73 you could still separate them.
Other that the mounting brackets they are essentially the same. Goaw only knows why they're different.

My wife and I took a trip last year about this time and saw a '68 Charger on the road coming towards us but no video.
This year we just took a trip to Glacier National Park and happened to have the camera going (filming a small dam) at the right time...

As God has a sense of humor the video happened to be named MAH00068.MP4 (with picture/video 67 preceeding and picture/video 69 following).

Leaving a local train yard I was working at, yesterday afternoon. Did the usual look to the left and then checked my right, and yikes, 69B5 Blue R/T, coming right at me. Gave the owner a thumbs up, he seemed a little surprised. I know the area , and have never seen this car before. I continue on my travels, the 69 is 3 cars ahead of me and pulls into a drive way a quarter mile ahead. Do not do this very often, but, I pulled in behind him and introduced myself and asked the usual, Are you a member of D.C.com. I'm always surprised at the number of Charger owners who have no idea this place exists. Long story short, my camera was back home in the console of the 67, pic's to come. The owner's dad just passed recently and the car was passed down. Pretty much a survivor, original paint car, B5 with a black gut and black stripe, XS29L auto
Get registry info too. :icon_smile_big: ;)
A week ago I was out with my daughter on our way to look at an econo box car for her to take to school this fall
Had cash money in our pockets
It was getting late and we were not sure we would get to the car before it was going to be too dark but we had to stop to grab a bite to eat
Along the way we passed a town
Turned up a side street to go to a burger joint and there was a bright yellow 70 Charger all fixed up in a driveway for sale
I told my daughter we had cash we should stop and look :)
But did not have enough time
Car would have been at least 3 times what we had to spend anyways and she did not think she would like to put the gas in it either
Another food related sighting
I was at a local drive through window a couple days ago waitng for my order and out on the street a 69 General Lee drove by all fixed up
Only Chargers I have seen all summer (so far )
It was 105 today. I did not see any old chargers out there.
Saw a 3rd gen with sweet side stripe coming home from work yesterday. :2thumbs:
I saw a green 69 coming at me on the way home the other night. I didn't recognize the driver so maybe I'll be able to track it down at a show or cruise-in later this summer.

Stalker huh,. lol
About 3 weeks ago I saw this Aussie charger down at the marina.
Pretty rare, last production model built CL 1978 318 2bbl
Very good condition, the tyres must have been 20 years old though!! Guess it doesnt get out much...

At least this one is aqua , most got poo brown for the final nail in the coffin....
Same here Myk, those tyres are downright dangerous, can't understand how guys drive on them them and think its ok.

I bet you this is the same one that was on Counting Cars, which was a no sale.
That thing looks part Gremlin.
I was out for a short run the other night to pick up some takeout and I passed by a yellow '68 in a parking lot. I gave home a wave and then he pulled out behind me. We cruised together through a few towns before he pulled off on another road. Felt pretty cool to have so many people looking at us cruising along.
Last Saturday I saw several at our club's all mopar show in Salem Oregon. If I recall correctly there was a '66, a '68, 2 or 3 '70's, a Daytona clone, and a '72. I may be forgetting some. We had 85 registered cars and another 15 to 20 stragglers that came in around noon and hung out for a while.
A better turn out than last year, but not as many as I have seen in the past. Back when I first joined the club we had well over 100 and over 150 a couple of times. It's really dropped off the last 5 years though...
Strangely enough the model with the highest number at our show....new challengers.
With the exception of one guy, there were no new 4 door sedans present. The one guy who did drive one entered it in the "young guns" category because he was 20 years old...
Come to think of it, we haven't had any if those the last two or three years...
Saw a nice 69 at the weekly Cruz in today. Only 2nd charger I've seen other than mine and I'm there every Sat night.
Yesterday, I had just picked up a donor roof for my 69 and was driving on the back roads between Guelph and Beaverton Ontario and a white 69 went by heading the other way. Looked real nice.
That might be a members car.
Guys '71 383 charger where I picked up some parts. Father / son (~20) did everything other than spay the paint.
Even has several '73/74 parts on it.
He is working on a '66 Mustang for the daughter now.
Saw this '68 today. VIN had a 'C' for a 6-cylinder, but a guy in the parking lot (not the owner) said it had a 440 in it now.
Location: Redding, California

Nice. IMO painted bumpers only work with E-Bodies (since they came that way).
:iagree:
Looks like when I park
I can dig painted bumpers on a 2nd gen, I'll probably end up painting mine but just cause the chrome is toasted.
yes those bumbers painted because he didnt want to spend 1500 to 1600 dollars to rechrome ? nice car though

Uhhh, yeah that will get ya....i sold a pair of shoes and sent them there before. Shoes sold for 150 bucks and ship cost 75 bucks, lol.
Australians must make 100 bucks a hour. A beer there cost 10.00 :brickwall:
Beer and taxes. :brickwall: I can go to a beer store here in Ontario located just a few blocks from the border and it's 40 bucks for a case of 24. Cross that same border and go a few blocks into Michigan and buy that same beer as an imported brand for way less. :pullinghair: :mad: And then people wonder why I get worked up about California or Obama and the encroaching socialism of the US. (I keep seeing big tax increases in your future to pay for stuff bought now, kind of like here)
Political rant off, :soapbox: stepping down now.
Saw this beautiful 69 on my way to Sunbust in Graham, WA last weekend.
I'd run a photo-protected red light to get a closer look at that one!

Does mine at a show count? It is in the wild, right?
Very nice car, But why hubcaps ?
A burnt orange 68' drove past my driveway where I was cleaning my Neon for sale just yesterday on a quiet side street. I told my girlfriend, "the world is taunting me to build my car."

For sure. (mine was like that when I got it but I keep driving it everywhere getting highway crap all over it :lol: )
anyone know this beauty??? seen at Chuck A Burger in st. louis.
Saw this '68 today at work in Waukesha, Wi. :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:
I was digging it until I saw the last pic of the interior. Don't get me wrong I would love to own this Charger :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:
Out goes the gawdy tach, the below dash gauges, switch the pistol grip for the OEM chrome shift knob, put in the OEM seats and put in an OEM radio/radio face plate.
Thanks for posting :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Right there with you Vegas. To each their own is one of the great things about the hobby but I'd do the same.

While out for a bike ride on Saturday, I came across an orange 1970 numbers matching 440/6PK/4spd R/T car. The gentleman who owned it was nice, and we had a quick convo.
Didn't take any pictures, as I'm not the picture type. A truely Beautiful machine though.

LOL!!! As an owner of our cars; how many mouth breathers do you get running up to you just ready to ramble unintelligibly about cars? I've always taken this into consideration when approaching others; especially classic car owners. Earlier this summer, I can recall being called out of my friends house twice to talk with randoms about my Cutlass (I can only imagine how bad it will be once the Charger is done). That being said, I wasn't going to be another one of 'those guys', while in the presence of one of us(2nd Gen owners)...
The picture thing, well, as I said; just not the picture type. The memory of seeing, hearing, and watching it cruise by as he headed on his way were more then enough to last me. I find you build more genuine memories this way as well. :2thumbs:

It was parked next to what looked like a small junkyard in a small town (maybe about 350 people) off I-5 in Northern CA, less than 1hr from the Oregon border, kinda out in the middle of nowhere. Overall, looked pretty solid, but would need alot of work.
Saw this at work today.... kind of
This one was spotted today in San Diego on Mission Gorge Rd.
Was up in NY today for a snowmobile swap meet, saw this nice 73 at the gas pump in front of me when I pulled in. Owner said it had a 360 magnum engine put in it at some point. :cheers:

Saw a maroon '68 Sunday on Highway 29 heading towards Clear Lake in California (coming from Hwy 20). It was maroon, black vinyl top, not an R/T. Belong to someone here? :shruggy: looked to be in great shape.
No photo, I was going the other way and couldn't get my phone up in time. Plus I was in shock to see another 2nd gen in the wild. Doesn't happen often enough...

Found this while driving to work ,stopped by to check it out and it turns out the owner is the manager of the body shop ...said he painted it yellow so his wife wouldn't take it in a divorce.

Saw a Charger Saturday on my way home from a Cub Scout hike with my son.
Later that afternoon, I saw a 70 Superbee while out cruising my 68. Was too quick an encounter to get a pic, but we both gave each other the thumbs up! :2thumbs:
Saw a sweet 69 today!
I don't drive mine often but when I have its shocking (the people's reaction to it!) I swear from girls stopping dead in their tracks on the sidewalk watching go by, to kids screaming and waving....Or the time a grown man threw his car in park and jumped out in the middle of a busy intersection and flagged me down LOL no joke.
So this guy flagged me down when I was out Sat morning running errands. His name is Jerry and has been around the south Seattle area and owned his Charger for a long time. I see him at the Friday night Walmart show quite often.
Weird, that black hood with red patches. :scratchchin:
Must be Jerry that I saw last week in Maple Valley!
Yes def him.
Interesting car- originally blue numbers matching 440 auto car. Now red with the custom black thin butt stripe and the reverse 70 style hood treatment. Has a white interiorwith some 70s style upgrades under the hood. He has owned the car for a long time and says he does not have the money to fix it up to show condition, but drives the care everywhere and has a good time. :2thumbs:
Walmart show . lol :smilielol:
All he needs is a bumper and he's good to go! :Twocents:

If you want the best you gotta pay for it.
Saw this 1974 S.E. Survivor today at the grocery store. 19,000+ on the odometer only.
Best I could get the interiour
I saw a 69 Charger on San Juan Island last Thursday. Freaked my wife out yelling "That's a 69 Charger!" I got smacked for startling her again over a Charger.
Funny story, same thing happened in Hawaii 6 years ago with a 68 Charger, when we were there for our 10 year anniversary. We were in the San Juans for our 16th this year...
I don't know how she puts up with me!
Flipped a U-turn to get a pic. It was brown with what looked like a light tan top, very nice Charger.

Looks like a old Lady's car. lol
Saw two Chargers a few days ago; a 69 General Lee and then a 68 about an hour later. I'm somewhat acquanted with the GL owner but I'd never seen the 68. It was really nice, sort of a lime green color. No pics though, we were rolling opposite directions.

My wife spotted this car first in White Plains, NY last Friday. 1970 Charger
Today.
On the way back to work, this guy was in front of me....pulled into MickeyD's.
I stopped to talk to him.....said he just got the car a couple weeks ago and decided to take it on a couple hundred mile road trip. Pretty ballsy.
Said he got 20 mpg with the 440. Nice. :2thumbs:
Needs a little cosmetic work, but a nice car.
Say this '66 or '67 north of City of Shasta Lake, CA. It was visible from I-5.

The silhouette of the "windows" from one side does not match the opposite side. IMHO, it's a very poor concept -- but they still did a much better job of photoshopping than I could ever do (that's not saying much though). :Twocents:
Poor photos, but my brother saw a 1971? Charger in Livermore, CA a couple weeks ago.
Also, yesterday 10/22/15 on my drive back up to the north end of California, I saw a couple chargers:
- 1968 Cyan-blue color, white vinyl top, white R/T stripes, shiny wheels.
- 1969 General Lee.
Saw these between Dunnigan, CA and Arbuckle, CA heading south on I-5 (couldn't get a photo as I was heading North), about 2:30pm. Lots of other classics heading south, so I'm, assuming there was a car show someplace.
Found this 68 last week while riding shotgun with my daughter. She got her permit so I finally get to look out the window a little. It's barely a mile from my house too, who knows how long it's been there.

I'd say I see at least one each summer (as in not at car shows, just seen at random out driving around).
These were quick cell phone pics from last summer, the orange 69 was done up as a General Lee, and looks like it has a go-pro sticking off the side.
The 68 was neat to see, in all it's unfinished as-is glory.
Both were spotted in Aliquippa, PA just outside of Pittsburgh
I think that is the first 66 I have seen in nice shape that color (look white here). Usually everyone changes it to a darker color or the white shows all the rust.
They did a nice looking resto too and slapped in a 440 to boot. :yesnod:
We bought an old house with a garage last fall. Garage was hand built out of old bleacher seats but 4 cars deep. Could never get to the back because of 10 years of crap and wasps in the front. Pulled this out to the front from under a tarp at the way back when the wasps were frozen. VIn is XS29 but can't make out engine code-there is literally a mud dauber nest on top of it and even at 10 degrees I'm not messing with them until I can find a can of wasp spray to saturate that thing and scrape it off
Use WD-40, PB-Blaster or good old rubbing alcohol they all work and do no harm. :2thumbs:
So it's you guys whipping out cameras every time I drive my car!! :lol:

Pulled this out to the front from under a tarp at the way back when the wasps were frozen. VIn is XS29 but can't make out engine code-there is literally a mud dauber nest on top of it and even at 10 degrees I'm not messing with them until I can find a can of wasp spray to saturate that thing and scrape it off
Did the car come with the house? :popcrn:

Spotted a black '66 or '67 Charger in town last night. Never seen it before but sounded like a big block. :icon_smile_big:
Mopar Club meeting in the 1980s at North Loop Dodge in Fort Worth, Texas. Dick Landy was there!
Any one here in southern or central Oklahoma or northern and central Texas ??? :shruggy:
Two weeks ago heading north on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
It pulled out from a driveway and quickly turned left into the next street.
I am aware of this car. It is a very nice real R/T.
It was quick, but my wife managed to snap some video.
Here's a still frame from it.

1969 Charger in Redding, California on 3/30/16. 440ci/727
Saw him in town and flagged him down at the Chevron station (I was in my truck). Then he followed me home to B.S. about Chargers for a while.
This 1st gen came in for an alignment while I was on lunch . One of the other guys sent me a pic .

Today at the DMC body shop/resto place by the asphalt plant. This building is the old shop where they used to make the DMC custom vans back in the '70's & 80's in Butler, Wi. Now they restore old cars and build hot rods. Lot of cool photos of old and current projects there on the link :yesnod:

It's good thing I was dicking around cleaning my windows after the gas pump click off when I was filling up last night or else I would've missed this 73 Rallye Charger 440 auto. Original red paint, black stripes, rust free, numbers matching 440 from Cali. The guy was cool and we started a conversation. I told him about DC.com and hopefully he will join us. He is considering selling it to get a 1970-71 Challenger.
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Nice Charger. I am a convert to 71-72 Chargers myself. 68-70 Chargers are big money.
71-72's are the next big craze. :Twocents:

Just saw two today...
A GL near Brockville Ontario (Canada). I stopped to see it. XP car parked at a closed service garage.
Then back in Ottawa I saw a dark copper colored 69 or 70. Looked like it had a 70 front clip with a 69 tail panel and black 70 tail stripe.
On site, doing some work at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffit Field in Mountain View, CA today, and they were having a chili cook-off and car show around lunch time. Saw a couple of Mopars including this 1969 Charger, Hemi, automatic. No fender tag (may have been removed for theft prevention), and the VIN plate was covered.
:coolgleamA:
I passed a white 69/70 going the other direction this morning just 100 yards from my house. I had just turned left onto the main street and caught a glimpse of that beautiful shape as it flashed by right behind another car. The tail lights and recessed rear window were 69/70. Never saw the front. Funny thing is, I almost took the '67 since I had just had it out this morning taking it to the men's breakfast, but I didn't want her to smell of gas fumes at the birthday party I was taking her to.
Saw this nice one in Seattle yesterday:

This I know. The builder used SE parts on this car, door panels, taillights, 74 bulge hood, kinda built it his way without the side window treatment the factory did. So I called it a SE even though its not a factory SE. Sorry. I do like it.

WOW, most were all 1970 Chargers. :2thumbs:
ENOUGH of this term...BARN FIND. ENOUGH. It is not original anymore. EVERY old car is not stored in a barn. Craigslist is chock full of BARN FIND ads. There is no way that every old car was stored in a barn. Just like the clueless dorks that talk about their uncle that bought the car "New off the showroom floor". I sold cars in the 80s. MOST cars never sat in the showroom, maybe 1% of the new cars sold ever sat inside yet somehow, EVERY classic car was bought NEW OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.
I'm going to get drunk now. :cheers:
As you may or may not know by now (from previous posts) the "Barn Find" labeling crap annoys the hell out of me so I do see your point. And about the showroom floor stories, never seemed to notice them when people would talk about Mopars at the shows. Now that it's brought to my attention I guarantee I'll here some in the upcoming events lol.
I found a barn the other day. Inside the beltway, behind a tree. This is the pic off google view.

Holy crap.....It is sad when you make a grammar joke and the guy STILL doesn't get it.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. I was 8 or 9 years old and had to do some book report on New York City. I was talking to my Dad about the landmarks and I showed him a picture of the skyline.
"Look, that is the ENTIRE State building." Dad laughed and said...
Wow, the Entire state building? The WHOLE thing?I didn't get the joke, but again, I was not even ten years old.
Unless I'm misjudging the time difference it must be as late there as it is early here. Don't often see many of you posting before mid day UK time so goodnight....or good morning!
It is almost 1;00 AM here. I'm off work for another couple of weeks so here I am....
On W. 2nd Street in Chico, CA, on March 30th. I only had time for this brief pic. I didn't see her in the area. ;)
No photo but saw a triple black 69 with a red tail stripe with RT badging near my home town of Chichester in West Sussex (South coast UK..Google it!). What made this one stand out was the fact it was towing a nice period 1960s caravan behind it.....like it was not thirsty enough without towing a couple of thousand pound! Lol. Anyone on here?
See if you can spot it

Saw another near my work on Sunday (9th April about 9.45AM)...that's two this month...amazing as you can go years without seeing one in these here parts! This time it was a black over black 68 with a red tail stripe. Must have been a car show on near by that I did not know about (I was on my way to work so could not have gone anyway!) as quite a few U.S and British old motors on the road heading East this Sunday just gone. Was on the A259 between Havant and Chichester...in Nutbourne (West Sussex UK) to be precise) Anyone on here lay claim to it....looked and sounded great by the way. :2thumbs:
Was in Irondequoit NY yesterday at a restaurant on the Genesee river in my 69 and a dark grey or gunmetal 68 with a black vinyl top drove through the parking area past my car then kept going.
Looked pretty sweet.
Yesterday, I ran into a local General owner who I hadnt talked to in a while.
He said he's building a nicer general along side this one, and will convert this to a Toretto's 70 Charger clone after that.
He bought this back in 01 as a bare shell. Originally a 68 /6 car.

Leaving a Chrysler Product Owners Club show last weekend, I found myself waiting at a light next to a Plum Crazy '71 R/T. Who knows how long it's been since two '71 Chargers were seen together at a light in this area. Seeing all the double takes by people passing through the intersection was fun.
Saw this yesterday in Wisconsin. I took this on the fly as I saw it literally at the last second.

8/1/'17 New berlin, Wi. Yes, it was a R/T.
I forgot to post. On July 12th, I saw the rear quarters of a nice RT in Orselina Switzerland. Not fast enough to get a picture as it disappeared, but the place where I saw walking distance from where this picture (from the web) was taken.
Was behind this General Lee in my home town in Tewksbury, MA, my wife spotted it the next day as well... Looked really nice!
Saw this '71 in the wild (ish), while road tripping through France.
I've known about this '70 for a couple years, I just keep forgetting to bring a camera. It's in Layton, Utah. Couldn't get closer, there was a bunch of trucks in the roadway, blocking the view. I'll try again next time I'm in the area, for a clearer view.

That's my buddy Garys 72. Older Nam vet that lives in Windsor. He's part of Wine Country Mopar. :2thumbs:
Was at a soccer tournament in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada last weekend and saw this one. Looks like it has been sitting for a while. The tires were all flat spotting.

1969 Charger saved from the local wildfires. Stored with other classics at a school in Larkfield, California. 10/16/17

This '70 wasn't as lucky, it got caught in the wildfires. Santa Rosa, California 10/16/17.
A couple more...
How did the truck next to it survive? Or was it parked there recently

I don't know. The truck likely wasn't there during the fire.
It has SE emblems. May have been an R/T....looks like the door scoops melted off given colour change in that area. Shame.
If I could get the VIN I could update the 70 Charger Registry on the fate of this car in case it miraculously pops up as a running car in the future.

I was unable to get the VIN for this one.
so was that 70 charger abandoned? put out to pasture? strange place for it. :shruggy:

Saw this gem of a 70RT in Pahrump Nevada on a road trip last week.
With the other classics behind it I'm guessing it is either a shop or a collector?

It was a shop, they had a 70 Cuda, and another project 70 Charger there as well. There were also a bunch of GM/Ford cars; was a cool stop on the road.

1968 Charger in Redding, CA on 4/26/17.
There should be a shop in or near Reddin CA, Victory Paint? Or Victory restorations? My friend helped get that new facility open for his sister and her husband for a few months. In turn they took his 68 Coronet RT to restore. :cheers:
saw this blue 69 in boerne,tx today (12/4/17). looked good sitting behind me in traffic :2thumbs:

I continue to drive my Charger weekly in the hopes that I'll see myself on this thread :)
The pic is right there...Red Charger....can't miss it. Red like a stop sign. :slap:
there is a 70 Charger in this picture, next to the garage. ( I know its hard to see, long ways from the road) I have been told there are 7 more 2nd gen Chargers on this place, but I couldn't see them from the road. I was also told the owner has a special greeting for those who inquire about his cars.

Sorry, no pics (I was driving) but saw a 1971 Roadrunner in Bahama Yellow driving down the road. I got behind it and followed for a few blocks. Sounded pretty healthy! Eastern Cincinnati suburbs.

My buddy took these pictures in Chico, CA tonight. This is a 1969 Charger R/T, 440, auto, F6, V21 car. The guy lives 15 miles from me. I haven't seen his car out in the wild in quite some time. It's identical to mine with the exception that mine is a 4-speed car with the Dana.

Your '71 is nice. :2thumbs:
71 Chargers are really starting to grow on me. I like the base tail lights, I like the standard grilles (non hideaway) and preferably no vinyl top. Of course I would want bucket seats, slap stick and rallye cluster (but I wouldn't mind the standard sweep cluster either).
So basically an SE version w/o a vinyl top and no hideaways. Definitely no rear spoiler, no hood scoops and no front spoiler. Just a plain Jane 71 Charger with a lowered stance, steelies w/dog dish caps and with wide tires.
:cheers:

This is not my car, ( wished it was) the owner is a older gentleman that drives it from time to time and takes good care of it. My 71 Charger is triple black 500. I'm with you on the standard grilles over the hideaways, but I prefer the rallye clusters. 3rd gen Chargers are great cars.

I know, right. I've only seen that '68 at the yearly car show at work, but never met the owner. It's a big job site.
My Mom is substituting at Windsor High School, California today and saw this '68 in their auto shop class. Looks likely that it's an R/T. She's subbing there tomorrow, so I've requested that she get some more photos and info.

I don't think finding Chargers at a drag strip or car show counts as being found "in the wild". :Twocents:

Impressive. i have an idea of the general area where the picture was taken from the signs. I may be close to there next year. Not to be a stalker, but what town was that in? It would be fun to see if it could be cited again. I saw a black charger last year in Locarno Switzerland if anyone is headed that way.

Hi, this was in the small town of St. Laurent-du-pont near the Chartreuse monastery, just north of Grenoble that's correct :2thumbs:
Now I have to admit that I cheated a little bit, this picture was taken after a USA car show in the town, figured it wouldn't hurt since the forum is a bit slow lately.
I first attended that show in 2007 and there were only a couple of cars back then, last summer to my surprise there were a couple of hundred cars at least, a few MoPars, most GM & Ford.
It's a bizarre sight, these old American cars in a picturesque little French town, big contrast.
There will be another show there this summer July 29th (https://www.facebook.com/louestamericainenchartreuse/) if you're in the area.
I'm still debating if I'll go this summer.

Thanks, unfortunately, I will arrive for a longer stay in August. I'll be to the west in Clermont Ferrand, but plan on exploring in the late summer/Fall and have friends in Grenoble. If I see a car, I'll take a picture. I'm headed to the Paris area in less than a week and hope to see a show there that I learned about from people here. I agree it is strange seeing the cars now in Europe, but it is surprising how many different ones can show up on nice days.
Concerning the other photo (in Alabama, I guess), I often do things that make me wonder what I was thinking. :smilielol: NOw I need to find some old chargers in the wild. I love seeing the pictures on here.

Spotted two solid cars last weekend, in the mountains of Georgia.
A solid 71 Charger SE, and a 72 Satellite. The chargers plate expired in 1982, so im assuming they'd both been parked a while.
I would have loved to have the Plymouth. The 71-72 B body has always been my 2nd favorite muscle car.
Both looked easily restorable, not sure what the story is.
SAD!

I kinda set myself up for that one didn't I? Funny the handle has nothing to do with the show but that's another story...
I know there is a thread for 'delusional Charger sellers'...maybe we need one for delusional Charger owners that think they're going to restore it someday! Guy also had 2 1969 Dart GT Sport 383 4spd cars sitting under the pines! NOT FOR SALE! These guys claim they're Mopar guys, but have no remorse when it comes to any effort to preserve history... :flame:

Wow! '71 Charger base but I had to look really close to determine that due to camouflage.
My wife just flew into Seattle a few hours ago, and sent me these pics. I wish I were there, I love the city.
Not the best picture, was a quick cell phone pic. Pretty sure this is "THE COLONEL" (member's car). Cool to see a car I recognized from the forums out and about. To the owner, if you dont want this picture posted, just lemme know and I'll remove it.
Looks like his car to me. :yesnod:
A 73-74 non se a few blocks from my house I discovered hiding in a culdesac, looks to have been there for quite some time.

I do, but according to Lennard....I need medication...Is this site full of nuts. ?
It's pretty obvious by the way the car cover is sitting on the car that it's a '69 RT with a 440 4bbl., Automatic, Black Interior, Bucket Seats, AND has an 8-Track radio........... :D

I was back in Livermore this past weekend visiting my brother, and the cover had shifted slightly on the front of the car, making part of the bumper and the side marker visible. It's a '69. Maybe the cover will be shifted more the next time! I'm going with wingcar's guess from the previous post.
Why does the cover lift over the hood? Is there something coming up through the hood? :shruggy:
I rescued a 70' Road Runner sitting out in a field that most would consider scrap or a parts car but it was free so I drug it home & plan on restoring with my Son's to teach them more about welding, body, paint, engine transmissions, etc.

Not that I noticed. Thinking just the inclimate weather is moving the car cover around.
Not sure of this is "in the wild", or in captivity, but I spotted this Daytona today.

I tried doing the same thing but with no success. Good job Greg!!
Here's a few pics. :2thumbs:
This place is right off the beaten path to Carlisle!! PA Turnpike exit #13 about 4.5 miles south on 18. I practically drove by this place last summer and not knowing about it 'til now lol. I'm pretty sure they would be closed on Sunday during my trip back home so I would have to catch it on my way to Carlisle. And I'm pretty sure that these guys would attend the Carlisle show. Small world indeed.
:cheers:
Yep, thats the place. That day he had the Daytona, a 70 Road Runner, a 70 Coronet, and a Cuda in the showroom.
I wanted to go in and have a look around, but the door was locked (even though his sign said open). Maybe next time.
I dont think anything is for sale though, I think this place is just this guys personal mopar playground.
This is semi-related to the original thread but the pics of the Charger under a cover got my attention. After I found my Charger I went back and took screenshots of the google/bing streetview and you can actually see the car hiding under a tarp. How many of us would have driven right by this place without a second thought?

Here is one that is "in the wild." Factory 383 4 speed car. Engine and transmission are out of the car but are still there. I believe the original color is F6 green.

1966 or 67 Charger in Hoopa, California. 7/10/20
I saw this cruising through Cheney, Washington several weeks ago
Yesterday I saw something coming up the road by our farm
It looked interesting so I stopped and waited for it to go past
I should have taken my phone out to get a picture but did not think of it till too late
Saw a 73 74 Charger
Grey with the black ralley stripe on the side
Very nice car by the looks of it
What made it interesting was that there was a green canoe tied to the roof :2thumbs:
Today about 3 pm here in Reno I
Saw a nice red 68 or 69 Charger heading north on high way 395. Nice looking car from what I could see heading the other direction.
Passed a trailered 1st gen heading west on I-40 in Oklahoma a few days ago. Looked like a recent rescue.

A California guy I know of just bought a 66 Hemi car from Pennsylvania.
I came across this Charger at a gas station about a half hour from my home
It was done very well , not a hack job
Only problem was it was an XP 1970 car with a 68 front end
They did mount the 70 side markers in the front fenders
That was, One of None car, Ray, was considering selling it a while back.

For what they are asking for it does not seem like they are trying very hard to sell it
I assume, Ray sold it, and it's for sale again.
Yes, Ray sold it in October last year, not too long after Moparfest. Fellow picked it up October 2 as I recall.

Thanks Chris! Wish you had followed me to Freddy's, we could have blabbed a bit. Always happy to speak with other owners/members. I had no agenda but to unwind for a week there. It worked out well. I drove up & down the beautiful, SMOKE-FREE coast quite a bit. Put about 1000 miles on the car that time. The time before (2-3 weeks earlier!) I went further north and racked up about 1600...I have about 3400 miles on the car driving away from 3 fires this year. Lucky me!
Use it or lose it, LITERALLY.

1973/74 Charger
Ive actually seen it a few times driving by.
But in a self storage lot near me is what Im pretty sure is either a 73 or 74 Charger. Also a 1970 Plymouth Belvedere wagon
Seen this '70 R/T today :o

I have been watching some of the Silk Stalkings episodes on Z Living. Anyway in this episode (season 2 episode 15) which casts John O'Hurley in the beginning and Erin Grey, Chris Lorenzo wants to buy a classic car and finds one in the hands of John Byner. at one point while looking the car over he mentions it is a Hemi Charger, which it is not. It is a 1972 plain Jane that turns out to be a real clunker.
It is in the previous episode as well but supposedly he doesn't buy it until this episode. Continuity all off ... but anyway. :lol:
Organizing some older photos, found a photo of a '69 Charger I photo'd on I-5 on 11-14-10. This looks like southern Oregon, between Medford and Ashland, heading south, I think.
More photos found. From 4/17/08, taken from my Motorola flip phone! Saw a red '68 in Redding, CA and had to park next to it.

In Chris' defense, he parked that way to pair up with the red '68 for a photo shoot. Red '68 was parked there first.
But I know you were just poking fun. :poke:
I guess I was poking fun, but in a good way.
I have gotten grief about my parking since the 1980's.
I learned it from my dad, and he said he did it because the charger doors were so easily dinged.
I love those cars and those pictures. :cheers:

Also, on 4/29/21, saw a blue/turquoise '68 Charger on a car hauler heading southbound on I-5 in City of Mount Shasta, CA. Had black stripes, no glass, on a hauler with three other non-classic vehicles. I was heading north, so no photo. Maybe belongs to someone here?
I love cars with a car cover. :nana:
Went down to southeast MA to look at an old John Deere crawler tractor today, and on the way back I happened to spot this out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't resist the urge to make a u-turn and get some pictures. It was sitting at some kind of tow truck depot near where MA-28 meets I495. This is the first Charger I've seen in person since I got my '69, and it was strange how similar this one's paint looked, though mine thankfully is nowhere near this far gone.
That is odd....a '70 hood resting on the '68 carcass...
and 2 minutes later some fat balding man with a limp and baseball bat waddels out yelling "That's not for sale get off my property"
It just needs a good scrubbing and some wax.

I was tempted to leave a note inquiring if the owner would sell the hood, or trade for another one, but it was getting late and I was pretty far from home. If I do decide to go back and get the crawler, I might just have to do that.

I was gonna say I wonder why the nose was so far off the asphalt, but then I noticed the concrete parking curb. I guess its been there a real long time.
I'm guessing that perhaps someone had plans for a Daytona clone and was in the process of collecting '70 front end pieces needed for that...... And like so many well intentioned people, priorities changed and things got put aside for a good long time! Sad to see something rot into the ground like that!

My wife spotted this on Saturday and teased me with only one picture. I went back to take a look Sunday morning and was lucky enough to see it myself. :drool5:
They do look cool with a wing :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
looks like a hemi emblem on the door :drool5:
that car belongs to a local guy, Tony. He claims the wing is a real daytona wing and has it for sale for 10K , I believe it has a hemi in it but is not an original hemi car. He just bought a 68 RR1 car that is original and numbers matching.

Went to our local cruise night on Saturday night with mopars well represented

That was my car. Picture is from around 1988 or 89 (East London at Dundas and Clarke), when my brother had a shop across the street from the mall. Now and again we would take a car over to mess around with it on a Sunday when there was no shopping. That one was obviously pretty sketchy to do that with.

You're right.
