Dana is a holding company named for Charles Dana. He was an employee of Spicer axle and driveline. He took the company over in the 1920's Spicer is still the company making the axles. Back in the day these axles were always referred to as Spicer and not Dana. A Power-Lok axle was marked with a dab of yellow paint on the top of the pinion snout. OK besides getting that off my chest I want to say how much I enjoy your videos and admire your work. I should have never sold my '63 Dodge 426 Stage 2 Ramcharger.....11.41 with 7" tires.
My unicorn rite there I would be working every day on this car this is the one I been looking for you got get this one going thanks for showing us the car
One of my top dream cars on earth is a black 68 charger with red interior, or black on black! For the street, the 440 is arguably better than the hemi... but yeah, a hemi would be my choice
Of ANYONE who would Save this Car-You're the PERFCT Person to DO IT! There will be Hardly anything ORIGINAL LEFT when Done. But It's Worth IT! Saving Cars that Others would Scrap is MORE Profound than Cleaning up Intact Ones!
so freaking awesome i live basically in utah and i know of a guy who has a 68 in tremonton, utah i know its a long shot but if you get ahold of me ill put you in contact with him. I bought a 69 charger from him he also has a 440 4 speed 69
i dont know how i would private message you his name. Im afraid if i put it on here he will get bombarded lol hahaha but he has alot of mopars if you want you can email me at jon_pentz@hotmail.com
Yeah that is the best color for them. In the late 90s, I bought a 68 RT with built 440 and an added six pk, and paid 4500. It was rust free and the body was good, but needed paint and ran excellent. It was also a 4 speed car and was wicked quick. I only raced it on the street one time, and got beat by an auto 396 69 Camaro, but the only reason was that the RT had a long throw and totally missed 3rd gear. But I smoked him out of the hole and was several car lengths ahead when it happened, and was so pissed off at myself. He knew that it would have ripped his 396 if I hadn't done that, and is why I don't like long throws to this day lol
Man, I've been wanting a 68,69,70 charger forever, I found one, a 69 with a running 440 built into a 460, but it's not an rt there is nothing special about this car it's not rare, it didn't come with a scarce option package or anything. From the back of the rear wheel wells to the tail panel is the only rust I can find on the car , all the trim is there all the glass is there , the interior is all there and complete no tears or anything and the floor pans are solid. The guy is asking $25K for with no paint and the back half of the car rusted out , do you think that's a fair price, to be honest, I don't know what they are worth. If you were buying this car and I know its difficult without seeing the car about how should one pay for the car?
funny how they made convertible GTXs but not Chargers. the twice pipes you want to put on that other Charger reminds me of a 68 Coronet 500 a buddy had back in the 80s with them,the car was all in that Georgia clay colored primer with a frikkin 318 2bbl in it,lmao! riding in the thing I kept on goofing on Cheech & Chong and the Santa Claus song talking about his sled with the twice pipes all chopped and chort man,Santa Cleeze,the dude with the boney knees,lol ! what's even funnier was Carlos the cars owner was Mexican too, so we goofed on it all the time and always cracked us up! good times,back when those beasts were only $50.00 to $100.00! not $50,000.00 to $100,000.00+ like now. crazy man crazy. ▪☆☆☆▪
I have the same car . Almost finished with mine . Had it since 97 , The only difference that I can see is a vinyl top . Does your car have a high vin number, mine is very late about a week from 69 tool over. Headrest and hurst etc..
I love muscle cars as much but i will never understand how crazy everybody gets about a car that has nothing oiginal to it except a vin and thinks its better than a car that didnt come with the same options originally. Once the parts are gone there gone it doesn't matter if you use parts from that era there not #'s matching. Era correct adds no more value than custom or what ever else
If you can get a transmission and engine that has the cast date about three weeks to two months before the build date you can get it to be except as an original.
I found one in baton rouge in 97 just like it for 400 dollers,an was sold as a rock,only difference it had a 8-3/4,missing the chunk.and I turned it down.
Nice to see you found your dream car... Is this a hobby or are you a pro doing this car restore thing.. Greets from.Holland. I got a big nose mustang. 73' called Arnold.. He think he is a muscle car so...
I want to see you restore this car. I kinda also want to see you drive it in as close to this condition as possible. Patch the frame rails. Patch the floors leave the Bullet holes. Drive that crusty white stripe beast then blow it apart and restore it to the best of your ability.
are you from iowa junkerup? that looks like the car i could of bought for $1000 from a guy in milo iowa. the guy said it was stolen off the dealers lot in 1969 and was found many years later.
now that's some real patina right there! especially where that tree grew into the driver side door. lol! atleast you saved it before it became too far gone! congrats, now try not to bury yourself under too many projects and unwittingly become the guy you goofed on,I'm going to fix it up soon, and no it's not for sale, ugh those people should be shot like the passenger side was! good luck and I'm glad you saved it before it became a unsavable rust spot with a tree growing up through the 4 speed shifter hole.go Mopar!!!!☆☆☆
do you mind if I start calling you charger dave, as you just keep finding all of these old girls, hell pretty soon your gonna find one with the overblown and overloved 426 in it! I say that as the 440 is just cooler to have, and also probably less weight over the front, and runs alot better for the purpose the thing was built for. as 426's are a cuda thing, that's where they belong, not in chargers. now a charger with a Fireball hemi in it, one of the original hemi's that's like that in small block size however, now that would work well in such a big car like this, as they used to hall around 5000 pound luxury cars and desotos from the fifities like no bodies business. and I always thought THAT was the ultimate hemi, all the torque and power, with none of the weight issues that come with the elephant drag racing motor that everyone loves and aspires to own. or even like the inline 6 one they had in aulstralia, a 265 inline 6 hemi on the chrystler valiant charger. like imagine that in a sports car instead of a jag inline 6 in like an E type or something
@ecky1965 I agree. This was 40 years ago &I had limited storage. I saved a lot of cars, but parts were parts. Most of these had screwed-up titles & in PA in those days it was a death sentance. That is just a short list of the Mopar. I'm not even going to get into how I chopped up lesser brands!
wow, that car is ROUGH......jesus. It's a shame really......too bad that they didn't realize what they had when these cars were built......and let's not forget how many were wrecked for that damn tv show.......
Im pretty sure this is the car I could of bought for a grand, seriously its a stolen car from the car lot when it was brand new. Milo iowa is where I first found it. I remember the holes in the body.
You are a saint for saving that car from the hell its been through.
Damn you got the original seat belt bolts!! Good purchase!!
Stuart Cookie 😂😂😂😂😂
As a fellow car guy it's good to see people get the cars they've always wanted. Happy for you. I subbed!

Of all the ones you've showed so far, waiting to see the build on this one the most!
Great specs for that Charger! Can't wait to see you build it ...
5 cars. Wow. You have a lot of work. Thanks for sharing. Amazing. I hope i can get one day 1969
My unicorn rite there I would be working every day on this car this is the one I been looking for you got get this one going thanks for showing us the car
ive been dyin to find a b body roadrunner in texas for years but no luck. yet YOU find all of these cars CONSTANTLY im so jealous lmao
DYFEA x: I have one for sale in south Texas area. Between Houston and Corpus Christi, major project
SuperLukedukem id love to see a vid of it, i want a really rough one to use as a body swap
DYFEA : this car is in bad shape. Needs all metal. But it’s a 69 RR. What’s your email. I’ll send some pics.
I like this car. The bullet holes tell an interesting story. Removing the tires is a great idea. People steal. Doors can be repaired right?
Every Mopar is worth saving brother. Cant wait to see it in a couple of yrs too. Like you, I still have a good couple of yrs.
So cool, you 're a lucky man! Enjoy and thanks for shareing.
Just amazed at what some guys will take on-- best of luck with it.
Currently restomodding my own 1970 Charger! It’s super awesome to see all your projects, this one has to be my favorite:).
Awesome, you have all my favorites and I have none yet
One of my top dream cars on earth is a black 68 charger with red interior, or black on black! For the street, the 440 is arguably better than the hemi... but yeah, a hemi would be my choice
Dad had a 68 440 mag 4 speed,blue, black vinyl top.looked like the one on the movie christeen.I believed it had a factory tach,i miss riding in it.
Love your videos and your cars ! Keep it up
Good more videos for us, your living my dream
Of ANYONE who would Save this Car-You're the PERFCT Person to DO IT! There will be Hardly anything ORIGINAL LEFT when Done. But It's Worth IT! Saving Cars that Others would Scrap is MORE Profound than Cleaning up Intact Ones!
Good luck on the build
Can’t wait man, gonna be a sharp lady. Help me find a decent charger, you seem to know where to find them. Thanks a Reno NV man 😁
Be cool to see a short video of all 14 of your Chargers in their current condition.
Think he is up to like 17 now. Lol
I would love to see you build it . Hope you can get to it 1 day cheers
You see what it was and can be again. This car needs you to bring it back.
so freaking awesome i live basically in utah and i know of a guy who has a 68 in tremonton, utah i know its a long shot but if you get ahold of me ill put you in contact with him. I bought a 69 charger from him he also has a 440 4 speed 69
Wyo Scatpack nice, I've be interested in finding out more about it
i dont know how i would private message you his name. Im afraid if i put it on here he will get bombarded lol hahaha but he has alot of mopars if you want you can email me at jon_pentz@hotmail.com
How is it going on the black rt
Yeah that is the best color for them. In the late 90s, I bought a 68 RT with built 440 and an added six pk, and paid 4500. It was rust free and the body was good, but needed paint and ran excellent. It was also a 4 speed car and was wicked quick. I only raced it on the street one time, and got beat by an auto 396 69 Camaro, but the only reason was that the RT had a long throw and totally missed 3rd gear. But I smoked him out of the hole and was several car lengths ahead when it happened, and was so pissed off at myself. He knew that it would have ripped his 396 if I hadn't done that, and is why I don't like long throws to this day lol
Thank God you got a life time.
HEY, shoulder straps seat belts, wow, that's very rare.
That's just what happened to all Dodge Chargers back in the day... no big deal...nice find.
It's strange they butchered the dash where the old VIN number would have been, and then put one back on the dash in the wrong location
Man, I've been wanting a 68,69,70 charger forever, I found one, a 69 with a running 440 built into a 460, but it's not an rt there is nothing special about this car it's not rare, it didn't come with a scarce option package or anything.

I have the same car . Almost finished with mine . Had it since 97 , The only difference that I can see is a vinyl top . Does your car have a high vin number, mine is very late about a week from 69 tool over. Headrest and hurst etc..
Original body to the VIN tag. But the body is junk. So you bought a VIN tag. Hey, you gotta start somewhere.
Nahh. Duse that car is so fixable. And rare as hell. I would buy that all day. He always finds these crazy cool chargers. Bad ass.
Another Good find.
always wondered what it looked like after the run against mcqueen. '68s are the best of the style, so (imho) this is THE one to bring back.
Hey Junkerup, We need a back window for '68-'70 Charger.You have one you can part with?
I sold my basket case numbers matching one several years ago for 10k. It needed everything, but I still should have kept it
jesus dude whats your day job, a bank robber? lol
If you had to guess how many 68 chargers are left? Made 96,000. I know it's just a wild ass guess, but you have a better feel for it than most.
your awsome. luv your passion
sweet find.exc the rust..where do find gas tank sender for a 70 polara.no makes it.
Totally, totally AWESOME!!!!!
I love muscle cars as much but i will never understand how crazy everybody gets about a car that has nothing oiginal to it except a vin and thinks its better than a car that didnt come with the same options originally.

Love your videos,I'd give anything to have that,very nice
Has it really come down to this?
what a score!!!!
That car is fucking toast! It can be fixed and thank you for saving it!
I would definitely go with a 440 over a Hemi. The Hemi is so radical that it needs special tuning. The 440 is more streetable.
I found one in baton rouge in 97 just like it for 400 dollers,an was sold as a rock,only difference it had a 8-3/4,missing the chunk.and I turned it down.
Nice to see you found your dream car... Is this a hobby or are you a pro doing this car restore thing.. Greets from.Holland. I got a big nose mustang. 73' called Arnold.. He think he is a muscle car so...
Piet Boon/Peete Driver and pilot of the sky. He a bro. He really good. He can do anything.
Awesome man
I want to see you restore this car. I kinda also want to see you drive it in as close to this condition as possible. Patch the frame rails. Patch the floors leave the Bullet holes. Drive that crusty white stripe beast then blow it apart and restore it to the best of your ability.
455 stage 1 Buick gs, motor trend said it had the best quarter mile time in 1970
Did you get the motor-trans-rear with it too?
Damn man I need your luck...would kill just to have 1 68 or 69...how many cars you got now
That looks like the same steering wheel as on General Mayhem. They didn't came with a wheel like that from the factory I thought?
do a concourse restoration on it
Very nice find. Except they didn't leave you with much including the dana.
Or the vin tag on the dash.
The motorsports project he has that, if you listened to the video.
I did. while I was on the phone lol
what town in SD was that car in?
Where do u find all these chargers
are you from iowa junkerup? that looks like the car i could of bought for $1000 from a guy in milo iowa. the guy said it was stolen off the dealers lot in 1969 and was found many years later.
jason gurney the car did come from Iowa wish I only paid 1,000 for it
Where did you find this in South Dakota?? I’m from SoDak and would definitely know the town.
one of my friends has almost the identical car minus the dana , less bulletholes more rust n bondo
1968's did not have Dana rear ends, that did not start until 1969.
Do you want to restore one just like that for me 68 RT 440 4spd dana rear end dark green white stripes
would be cool to see you with the guys from roadkill. they have a mean charger. i think you would make an great match with those guys to colab
Lukas Smith I've been on roadkill live and been behind the scenes with David and Steve at roadkill garage
haha nice! nice to see someone enjoy what they do.
Why? So they can destroy his car too?
Agree
How do you know that Vin goes to that car?
Where are you. I love Chargers to. How can i get one? A fixer upper of course.
U have the number matching motor
Apparently, all the old Chargers are in South Dakota. lol
Hey,where's my Tx9 70 rt? They have a video on TH-cam.I owned it long ago
what would something like this cost?
I can,t wait a couple of years ,lol
bullitt baby!
My friend had one!
No body that I know has life guaranteed to live as much as they want....but good project lol
Any ham with that swiss cheese?
oooooh i love it!!
now that's some real patina right there! especially where that tree grew into the driver side door. lol! atleast you saved it before it became too far gone! congrats, now try not to bury yourself under too many projects and unwittingly become the guy you goofed on,I'm going to fix it up soon, and no it's not for sale, ugh those people should be shot like the passenger side was! good luck and I'm glad you saved it before it became a unsavable rust spot with a tree growing up through the 4 speed shifter hole.go Mopar!!!!☆☆☆
So how much did you pay for a car in this condition?
Tell us how much you paid for this Vin Tag??
Harry Reems this car is easily restorable, fixed worse already
Yes,you are doing great work.Just curious...Looks like you should start a shop.
do you mind if I start calling you charger dave, as you just keep finding all of these old girls, hell pretty soon your gonna find one with the overblown and overloved 426 in it! I say that as the 440 is just cooler to have, and also probably less weight over the front, and runs alot better for the purpose the thing was built for. as 426's are a cuda thing, that's where they belong, not in chargers.
now a charger with a Fireball hemi in it, one of the original hemi's that's like that in small block size however, now that would work well in such a big car like this, as they used to hall around 5000 pound luxury cars and desotos from the fifities like no bodies business.
and I always thought THAT was the ultimate hemi, all the torque and power, with none of the weight issues that come with the elephant drag racing motor that everyone loves and aspires to own. or even like the inline 6 one they had in aulstralia, a 265 inline 6 hemi on the chrystler valiant charger. like imagine that in a sports car instead of a jag inline 6 in like an E type or something
How rare is a Tx9 Charger?
Good deal you got a big project there I seen worse than that
I have to agree it's worth saving, but honestly, I've fed nicer ones to the shredder.
@ecky1965 you have no idea! 68 hemi charger, 69 hemi GTX, 68 charger R/T, 69 Sport Fury conv., 64 Sport Fury conv., 69 dart GTS
@ecky1965 I agree. This was 40 years ago &I had limited storage. I saved a lot of cars, but parts were parts. Most of these had screwed-up titles & in PA in those days it was a death sentance. That is just a short list of the Mopar. I'm not even going to get into how I chopped up lesser brands!
Yeah but without the drive trinity it's really not worth much ??? Is it ?? I'm asking not telling
Honestly not many cars actually came through black from the factory. Through all the car manufactures
wow, that car is ROUGH......jesus. It's a shame really......too bad that they didn't realize what they had when these cars were built......and let's not forget how many were wrecked for that damn tv show.......
300
Hope you got cash
I want a charger sooo bad
Cost to restore vs projected final value? Not worth it, unless a labor of love.
Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus He will do all the work.
weren't all second gen. R/T Chargers 15" wheel cars? wouldn't this be a "Dog Dish" car originally?🤔
How much*
It will be a nice car wit about 20 grand worth of parts and a thousand man hours of labor.
Make it a planter....
so you bought a vin ? lol you got a title ?
hope so
Im pretty sure this is the car I could of bought for a grand, seriously its a stolen car from the car lot when it was brand new. Milo iowa is where I first found it. I remember the holes in the body.
