here is a 70 V-code 4spd Charger I had a while back. I always knew about this car but the guy would never even talk about it. after about 10-15 years of pestering him he finally caved in and sold it to me. it wasnt until I stopped at the local tavern on the way home from picking it up that I got the story on the car from a few locals who immediately recognised the car and even described the owner saying they were looking for that car for quite a while in the 70s . this was a 40k orig mile charger and the story goes that it was hidden behind a garage in the mid 70s because of being involved in a street race accident where a big block corvette ended up rolling over on the highway. the Charger survived without a scratch and the owner quickly left the scene but he didnt want to get caught as the local PD and a few folks were looking for this purple charger, so the owner parked it out Behind his garage (Why not in the garage) until things cooled off . a short time later someone busted all the windows out of it and that was the beginning of the end for a nice old charger. guess you could two great cars were destroyed street racing on that day in the 70s . one just had a slow painfull death......

Here is a 68 Charger R/T we extracted from the bottom of a cow pasture, had to use a tractor since it had no suspension. Still have no idea why I wanted this pile of junk since it's not economically restorable!

Heres a 74 Cuda' (wearing a 70 front clip) that was sitting in a junk yard. 360 car with buckets and rallye dash. Probably "WAS" a sweet car back in the day.

Here's my 76 Swinger that I bought for $150. It came with a slant 6, disc brakes, and front sway bar. It needs a complete floor, both lower quarters, spare tire pan and driver's fender. I have all of those parts except one lower quarter. I have about 95% of the parts I need and have $250 total in the project so far. I have a 360, auto, and 8 3/4 rear end for drive train. When my son gets older, its going to be a father/son project. One thing is, These "not so desireable" A-Bodys are fairly easy to find parts for and are reasonable when you do find them.

Here's a shot of a 63 fury wagon I bought to bring my 2dr wagon back to life. Thought maybe I could save the main body to use for another one but literaly fell apart on the back of the rollback taking it home. Thankfully it had everything I needed for my project to put it back on the road.

Here is mine. 69 Runner F8 383 column auto 3.91 Sure Grip. Very rusty, but everything works and its fast so I started driving it everyday after about a $1000 worth of work mechanically. Runs and drives great. I am having a blast! I picked up a rust free 68 Satellite thats just a shell out of a junkyard to supply the rust free sheetmetal to fix it.

Well here are some before, during and current pics of my rusted 68 GTX project, about a 2 year span... Here's what I started with after a 28 year stay in an open pasture: Where I found it: This was after removing all of the damaged metal: And this is after all of the metal was replaced and interior paint completed: In the end I ended up changing the r/h wheel well, complete trunk pan and both extensions, r/h quarter panel, l/h lower quarter and the roof. It currently runs and drives with the exterior bolt on panels still laying in the shop floor unpainted...I keep getting tangled up in other projects...I need therapy...
