More of these barnfind stories are coming up as the folks that have owned these cars are "moving on"...it is bitter sweet...at least they held on to their dreams by owning these cool, old cars...Now they can become the dreams of the new owners...
It just to bad so many are to far gone to save and they just wouldn’t sell them while they were still savable instead the idiots just let them fall apart you see it time after time. In their twisted mind they will fix them even after 10 to 40 yrs later and hardly any ever do. It makes you sick.
@@ratj4715 They still demand a very high price in horrible condition. It seems there are people out there that will pay anything for these basket cases.
Rick Allen many don’t understand what their getting themselves into the money your talking to fix one of these car is unreal unless you can do the work like he can. You could go broke and still not have what you wanted. If you got to do the work these cars need watch out. You be better to spend some more money up front. It not a cheap hobby that for sure. I understand it because they are beautiful cars . But yeah you got to be careful on what you buy.
Just want to thank you for all the 68-1970 Dodge Charger videos wealth of information btw I’m sure you know they made 69,000 dodge chargers in 1969 so keep on rescuing those diamonds in the rough and hopefully I’ll have one one day myself but now thanks to your videos I know what to look for when buying one of these 51 year old beauty’s
Those are original charger paint chips, more like $2500. Some rich dude will sprinkle them in his five thousand dollar paint job and then park it in his garage with his 40 other garage queens.
Wow Chris Thats how you want to find a Charger.. I think Keep rare cool car love that colour!! Amazing that the Engine Blew in 81. And it just sit there you would say the Owner could by or fix the Engine.. over time.. I guess not..? Makes it special
You can tell that one owner loved that Charger .In 50 years he bought 2 cans of primer paint , 4 mag wheels with white wall tires and changed the oil every 30k miles .The engine so clean you can hardly see it !
Great find Chris! I have a one owner 68 Coronet RT black on black that needs some rear work here in Cartersville, GA. I really wished I could get you to do the sheet metal work on it. You do great work. I was interesting that you were here with the Roadkill crew.
hey Chris welcome to my part of the world. I just picked up a68 Camaro there been sitting for 19 yrs. any it's as dirty as the charger. except mines a complete car. got it started and moved on it's own power. it's all your fault. you inspired me.
Glad to see that car saved.. makes me sick how there are so many people who want one of these.. and you have people who won't part with one that is sitting outside rotting away year after year.. I just don't understand it.. I wonder how you found this one.. you do amazing work on these mopars.. great channel..
Hi Chriss it’s great you save these great car’s. And give them a new life. And use them. I live in England can’t afford one . But if I come in to some cash . It will be the first car on the list. Keep up good work mate
A friend of mine from years ago in NW Indiana had a 68 and a 69 charger.His nick name was Mo....as in Mopar.Anyway..when i met him.....he had the 69 charger which had a 440 from a New Yorker.....that he mated with better heads....and intake.In about 1979 he and his brother in law attended a wedding in D/T Chicago.He made it back to the Indiana state line in about 5 minutes at about 3 a.m. Sunday morning....with the pedal to the floor doing about 150+ the speedo was pegged to the right....and he didn't tell anyone that the front tires were bald.....lol....RIP Ken Zajac...aka Mo.
Always great videos Chris. Now the big question, how do you reduce or eliminate the wing window vent area "wind noise" for these B bodies??? Any help would be great
Me and my buddy went to Long Island today to look at a 1976 Ford Gran Torino Wagon, mice had gotten I and pissed all over it, the whole cowl was rotted out from the mouse piss and it let all the water run into the cabin and rot the floors. It was in a driveway in a nice neighborhood, the point is that it’s amazing to find a car that is any way usable
The trunk has a handy escape hatch. You could make a trap door so that when you are transporting moonshine and the cops are after you, open her up and drop the shine. If the cops don't get a flat and catch you, the evidence is still gone...
There was a 1970-1974 cuda or barracuda sitting inside a barn next to hwy 49 between Gulport and Saucier MS, I rode past a few weeks ago and it was gone, looks like the land was sold and the buildings were being taken down.
Do you happen to know what the build date of that car is from the fender tag? I’m wandering because I saw the papers for the order arrival being 9/24/69 and I saw the sequence number being so high. My dads is similar with a build date of 9/10/69 and it’s sequence number is 40019. I’m just curious how close they are to maybe answer some questions. Thank you
Can you show us a car that you've finished this isnt patina? haha. Love the channel mate. Wish we got these in Australia. Only seen a handful in my life.
It's a AC car too did you find the stuff for the AC like the compressor and that because looking for that stuff is getting hard to come by and you should of took that trans if it was matching # to the car. even finding a 69 date code trans are getting hard to come by too that thing was worth grabbing
MARK MY WORDS! I'M GOING TO FIND ONE!!!!!!! I think I would more than likely find one down south because I heard from a car guy who lived where I lived in the 60s that Mopars were really bad to rust so Ford and Chevy ruled the roads.
Raymond's Motors Hi Raymond in 1969 69,000 chargers left the assembly line let’s just say for grins that half are gone beyond saving or overseas somewhere there are collectors other than American so that leaves roughly 35,000 cars out there somewhere for sale leave no stone unturned my friend they are out there
Been following you for a while sir, and I really appreciate your skill. I'm working on a 67 Coronet 500 Convertible 4bbl car right now. Spot weld tips on here saved me hrs......
Would you ever consider doing an episode on what we should pay for different conditions of these cars. Not specifics as to what you paid but what are good offers ?
Junkerup #chris birdsong yes I figured I would get that kind of an answer. All good. People sure do let you know when you paid too Much though ! Thanks for the response.
Why does that car remind my of my blue Dodge Monaco? Had the car up to 120 mph on straight country highway. Nobody around for miles. That car could go! But it didn't have the guts of my Lincoln.
Never mind smelling from your end, I can smell n taste it this side of the pond. When Enzo Ferrari said that the Jaguar E-Type was the most beautiful car in the world, that was before there was a Charger R/T HEMI or plain!
In 1981 that car was today’s equivalent of a 2008 Chevy cobalt.....nuthin special....just an old beater.....I remember my uncle had a ‘68 r/t in the mid eighties.....,he drove it cuz it was all he could afford.....we shot the hell out of it with a 12 gauge when he was finished with it.....I kept the r/t emblem from the grille.....I still have it.....if only we could turn back time
freedoms not free freedoms not free lol......I grew up around these cars.....you could buy one for a song on any day.....in they late 70’s-mid eighties these cars were gas guzzling dinosaurs and only young guys who wanted something they could drag race around the strip cared about them....maybe there were people who knew their value as being a nice car but never in their wildest dreams realized what the monetary value would turn out to be..

Back to back videos? What a treat! Thanks Chris.
Don’t forget that transmission cross brace on the wall!!!
Chris is a douchebag he'll ruin the car he never does anything right only the people that don't know what they're doing think he does

Should have swept the ground where it was sitting. Bid on half a five gallon bucket of paint chips and rust flakes is up to $2300 on eBay
Those are original charger paint chips, more like $2500. Some rich dude will sprinkle them in his five thousand dollar paint job and then park it in his garage with his 40 other garage queens.
Another nice find.Way to go Chris!!!!!!!!!!
Loved that color after that primer was wet sanded off ,panels look pretty straight .Great find esp with all the paperwork.Well done Chris :)
LOL, Yeah. I saw all the paperwork except the title.......unless I somehow missed it.
Nice find, your collor and also a one owner 👍
Mr. Lucky!! Great find.
Wow Chris Thats how you want to find a Charger.. I think Keep rare cool car love that colour!! Amazing that the Engine Blew in 81. And it just sit there you would say the Owner could by or fix the Engine.. over time.. I guess not..? Makes it special
Hey man thank you for the quick video here another nice charger that's all I can say
One owner with all the paperwork. Nice find.
Bought my charger from the original owner. He lost the transferable registration so I have to do the Vermont loophole.
You can tell that one owner loved that Charger .In 50 years he bought 2 cans of primer paint , 4 mag wheels with white wall tires and changed the oil every 30k miles .The engine so clean you can hardly see it !
Hey Chris, Tony's Mopar Parts is parting out a '68 Coronet Police car. WK41H8A. Love your channel! Keep the videos coming or I might die! LOL
Great find Chris! I have a one owner 68 Coronet RT black on black that needs some rear work here in Cartersville, GA. I really wished I could get you to do the sheet metal work on it. You do great work. I was interesting that you were here with the Roadkill crew.
Theres a group called mopars5150 in Georgia that does good work. You could probably see about having them do it.
THIS IS A PERFECT PROJECT !!!
Really great find like the wheels could clean them up, car kind of reminds of Patina
Exact color I’ve been dying to find. Lucky you!!!! Hoping to find a q4 or q5 to restore someday.
Nice find Chris!

Q5 is a great color.......I dig the vintage mags too......
Love those 5 spoke wheels

Big difference to the low mile storage potatoe that Nicks Garage Featured a couple of days ago. A heated garage helped a lot.
Hot dang keep on keeping on 😁👍
Always great videos Chris.
Now the big question, how do you reduce or eliminate the wing window vent area "wind noise" for these B bodies???
Any help would be great
Great job 👍👍🇨🇱
Lol might need a patch or two glad someone saved it !!
That lady is a sweet heart
Seriously if you see any parts, take them, even if it belongs to a tractor, take them😁😁😁👍
Callin This One LOUISE!
Love the color. The Foxbody calypso green is similar.
Just saw you on roadkill episode where they cater to your house to buy the 440. Awesome place.
I'm going to call you.." charger Hunter Chris" ... lol 👍👍
Chris Birdsong to receive Lifetime Achievement Award when he you turn 70,for saving Chargers and other Mopars,Great work Chris.

It was in a driveway in a nice neighborhood, the point is that it’s amazing to find a car that is any way usable
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see it's an A01 light car, and an A/C car. I think I spied the 26" core opening but no R/T emblems. That would make it a G code 383.
The trunk has a handy escape hatch. You could make a trap door so that when you are transporting moonshine and the cops are after you, open her up and drop the shine. If the cops don't get a flat and catch you, the evidence is still gone...
My favorite car.
Nice find I would like find one lime that!!
Awesome!!!
right on cool find eh cheers
Hey Chris , the mo par cowboy is back,
A beautiful car once you get it running.
The body itself is still nice and straight looks like.
Please suggest me which wider tires I can put on my 69 SE. now i have f70 14.
Thanks.
1 800 charger King.💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽

Attention Dr. Chris to to the Mopar ER stat, this one needs a Hart transplant, has hornetitis ,and a bad case of trunk rustosis !!
Nice!
Check out our upcoming bar finds Chris! Thanks for sharing yours
Thank-you for posting on this boring UK Bank Holiday
Fuck yeah. What a nice car
Hey Chris, do you happen to know if the '67 Chargers with turquoise on them are the same paint color as this car or Patina?
Looks like my cars twin. Except mine doesn’t have AC. But it is Q5.
Do you happen to know what the build date of that car is from the fender tag? I’m wandering because I saw the papers for the order arrival being 9/24/69 and I saw the sequence number being so high.

Oh boy!!!! another project. When will she be named?
I can't believe a one owner got into that state
Chris, put light truck tyres on your trailer. It will tow far better and not kill tyres. They make a bad trailer tow ok and a good one tow great
Wow that Charger needs a lot of work.
I hope you can get her in shape again..
Yeah, as long as they don't mock it up as another general lee lookalike.
It's a solid car it don't need that much work
Chris I have a 68’ that needs trunk pan, quarters, rear valance, valance corners. Can I hire you to install them? Thanks
Off to a better home :)
Wow there is a lot of Chargers in circulation
What luck! I've been looking for a 69 charger my whole life and can't seem to find one. Great video

Man this things is like new. Probably drive it home. Lol 😆
I'm glad you got this other than Mark Worman
Looks good but that Welders Mask is a dead giveaway that "it's been welded on sometime"
WooHoo "original Key"
How much would you let it go for?
Would you ever consider doing an episode on what we should pay for different conditions of these cars. Not specifics as to what you paid but what are good offers ?
I don’t make the prices...buyers do
Junkerup #chris birdsong yes I figured I would get that kind of an answer. All good. People sure do let you know when you paid too Much though ! Thanks for the response.
Looks like the General Lee
That’s super cool. Yea my wife would be, please take it, I don’t care. 😊
I would love to have it to build
What's so great about this car everything's missing one owner what do you do sell everything
He can rebuild her stronger ,faster, cooler !!👌👍
Before that lid creaked up you knew there was gonna be no trunk floor or gas tank.
Looks like the patina charger
Cool just wondering what was the original engine size in this one
Most likely a 383.
Passing this one on?
Fix it up and show the original family the work you can do👍
Hi from Deutschland, pls finaly save this cool Coronet! i know her from a older video(i ve seen them all XD), hf more videos pls
Didn’t know it rained inside barns 😂
Why does that car remind my of my blue Dodge Monaco? Had the car up to 120 mph on straight country highway. Nobody around for miles. That car could go! But it didn't have the guts of my Lincoln.
Can't wait to see your newest in action!
Enough welding helmets to weld ?, something ?
Dig the wheels on it.
Im visiting las vegas next year, what are the chances of finding a fair condition charger locally, and what prices can i expect to pay?
Zero...few local cars
How far do you travel to get your cars?
Are those. ET mags
Why the silent treatment?
How much you going to sell it for
Wonder if it was a 383 2 barrel or 383 4 barrel or 318 car?
318
1:40 ahhhh I can smell it from here.
Never mind smelling from your end, I can smell n taste it this side of the pond.
When Enzo Ferrari said that the Jaguar E-Type was the most beautiful car in the world, that was before there was a Charger R/T HEMI or plain!
It should be a criminal offence to let a car like that get into such a state! 😆
That's what I think also. It doesn't take much effort to keep a car covered and stored inside, just keep it off the grass.
