OK guys, I bought this 68 Charger and was wondering what to do with it. I have a bunch of parts that I could use to fix it up and get it driving again. Doors, hood, grill, motors, transmissions, 8 3/4 rear axles. She was born with a 383HP and 727 Auto (now MIA), Buckets and console, GG1 Dark Green with S6F Dark Green interior (also MIA). The bad parts , Floors are rusty and partially cut out, trunk floor and lower quarters are rusty, dutchman and sail panels around rear window are rusty, 90% of interior is gone, car does not roll. The good parts , I got a title, the dash is in the car with the VIN, floor shift column, also front and rear frame rails, inner fenders, roof, trunk lid, and both fenders are rust free. So the question is should I fix it or should I cut it? Thumbs up, she lives to ride another day or thumbs down, she goes to the great salvage yard in the sky? OR

It would be a sweet car done. I have some dark prowler purple paint I was thinking about spraying on it. It also has rust holes in the rockers, the tail light panel, rear valance, valance corners, the inner and outer wheel houses are rusted next to the trunk floor , but the firewall and cowl are good, the rear seat floor pan, and the package tray area is good. What do you think? If you could part it quickly and make good money or if you had some of the parts and a lot of time & cash, maybe put it back on the road?

by all means fix it. I had a '69 road runner that was worse than that. took me a couple years to gwet all the parts, but I got it on the road. didn't cost a ton either. woulda had it painted till my garage burned last year. that Charger is well worht saving.
