'68 Charger Shed Find

--Update--

Looks like someone with 6500 will be dragging this home. Not worth that much to me.

Pix look great but in person there is more going on than meets the eye. No sour grapes, just facts.

Someone will be getting a good project to keep them busy for a while, hope they are careful and don't get the hantavirus.

Thanks for the update. I want to also thank you for passing along the price. :headbang:

Whoever ends up with this, WEAR a mask when you open the door and have anything to do in the interior of that car! A buddy of mine got sick as hell this Summer after getting into a Chevelle he found in a nearly identical environment. He got the car home and started doing the interior tearout. Inhaling that mold, mildew, mouse **** dust and other nastiness damn near killed him! He was out of work for almost three months because of that crap he inhaled. Just one of those things that will leap up and bite the unwary.

Far as the price goes, $7,500 for a complete big block Charger seems reasonable enough, considering the condition.

^^True^^

I had to get inside moving it around a couple times and turned blue from not breathing in the funk.....I learned the hard way a few years ago cleaning out a WWII vehicle from Texas.

Between the rodent crap and silica sand, I did some serious damage to my lungs, enough to go to the doctor, just couldn't breathe and had a fever.

This is serious ****, don't mess with it and play it safe.

I'll be helping them load up tomorrow, a father and sons project, rest assured it will be mentioned.

Hahaha!! I grew up in the 507 area code so i'm not a native iowegian!! Winters are a little nicer down here by the covered bridges. Besides, the only flat spot around me is that short distance between uphill and downhill ;)

Whereabouts in the 507 did you grow up?

Good luck trying to find out what they want for the car! Hope it's realistic. Nice find.

Excellent..... here's a F.I.B. that posts up without reading two whole pages of thread. Makes the Iowegians look like rocket scientists. :poke:

That title is getting really tired.
It reminds me of all the guys that speak of some classic....Bought it new off the showroom floor. Really? How is it that every car I ever heard about was in a dealer showroom. NOT on the outdoor lot, not in the back, not still on the transport truck...

My first new vehicle, a loaded '85 Dodge D150 Royal SE, really WAS bought off the showroom floor! Wrote them a check, they opened the door, rolled it out and over to the detail rack, then I drove it home. I then brought it to Germany in '89 and sold it to a friend in Antwerp, Belgium in '91.

It is the same with me on an entirely different product...seems everybody's house I go talk about remodeling to was" built by the developer/contractor for himself. Sure was a hell of a lot of those kind of guys around back in the day!
