Been in a barn in Minnesota since early 80s. It's a coworkers father in laws and he bought it new. 70 Charger 500 F8 green 383 2 barrel. Not for sale just sharing it's existance. He just sent me these pics so I could do some amateur decoding. Green on Green on Green. The motor was rebuilt at one time and is sitting somewhere closeby I am told. Never got around to putting it back in.

Awesome! Time to get that bad boy back out on the road!
 
Time to get it power washed for sure! 440'
 
Almost 40yrs on a dirt floor in the North, guessing the underside is not too "fresh".

You are correct. According to my coworker the bottom side not so pretty. I haven't seen it for myself.

Dirt floors are perfect. They breathe. Concrete sweats causing damage.
 
514 would that be a build date of May 14th 1970?
 
Looks to be a very complete car....In the charger world thats a huge plus......The underside is a big question based as to where it is stored......A 70 500 is not the same as a 69 500 but still a cool find.....

It would certainly be nice to rescue the car from its doom. In that moisture filled graveyard and do it some justice....The F8 green is a great color....
 
It’s amazing these are still popping up in peoples sheds and such. I hate it when you see the ones rusting away at the back of someones farm, and they have no interest in fixing them or selling them. They’ll eventually be worth nothing because they are so rotten. Such a shame. I hope this one gets a chance at cruising the highways again.
 
They are still out there. Hopefully it isn't in too bad a shape after you evict the mice and take the pressure washer too it
 
good luck with it...

I could not disagree with you more !! Not around here (Upper Midwest). Seen it, experienced it, lived it. Can take you to a few dirt floor barns loaded with cars I want, but all rotted chassis. I did have to personally sandblast a new metal chassis (surface rust) build once, after I moved across town to a place with a high water table and a shitty concrete floor. Car sat at my old place, a mile from Lake Erie, for 5 yrs with no problems. Concrete slab at new place was laid with no vapor barrier. 2yrs later, had to blast it. Buddies barn with proper vapor barrier, concrete floor, ZERO moisture. His bare metal quarter panel has no surface rust after 3yrs of sitting. Try that in a dirt floor barn.

Or so I've heard. I have never stored cars in barns but i have a garage that sweats terrible. I'm glad my old car storage garage has a insulated slab and frost footings.
