Overall core for the car 1 out of a possible 10.
Presumably a R/T 440 car with retrofitted 318. However, the tag & VIN numbers didn't seem to compliment each other, coupled with the live bullets falling out of the car, the RUST it was all looking a bit grim. Fortunately most of the bits & pieces (window channels door mechanisms misc. parts were helpful. Did I mention rust ..?

..funny thing is I wasn't even looking (just scratching my head about what to do with the first care).. when I came across a 68 Charger body on ebay. The owner had two cars (a '70 as well). He purchased the '70 sight unseen from the US, imported the car and discovered the body was in very poor shape (kinda like mine sounds familiar). He then decided to by the rolling body shell of the 68, I think in a plan to build one good car.
As it worked out, the project was not right for him, potentially to time consuming & costly, so he decided to sell the cars. But only if BOTH cars were sold

So I purchased both, and managed to sell the two I didn't want keeping the stripped parts from the first car.

The '68 rolling shell was in EXCEPTIONAL condition! Minimal surface rust on floorpans and trunk floor etc. So I was very lucky. It is a 383 Auto, A/C car. All the numbers matched and there were no bullets.

so then it was off for media blasting. to clean up the body & see what needed to be done.
turns out the body was in great shape, no major structural dings. Only 6 in. of body filler in the RH quarter.
