this poor ol' 68 big block 4 speed charger got kicked off into a ravine only for a couple of mopar fanatics to find her over 30 years later and pull her out
At first it looks like it's just all smashed up. Once you get up on it you realize all it needs is the skins(like you said). The floors, trunk, inner fenders a rails all look good. The car is most definitely worth restoring. Nice save, I love when moors are saved. I've got a 66 charger 383 4 spd project myself.
I sure am glad you that you restore these classics you are one hell of a guy thank you for rebuilding these old Mopar's other people would have not realized this cars potential but you do you can get all of the parts from year one wish you luck
i am curious about these types of finds. do you do a vin check to confirm not stolen before going after it. sure would suck to go thru all the effort just to have it come up stolen.
amazing--- you created a new genre--- a ravine-find. really appreciate your passion for the old stuff. I have a 72 Swinger old lady car, all original 318 2bbl/904 with 119K miles that I got 2 years ago. Put 13,000 miles on it in six months before it lost oil pressure. was thinking about putting a late model magnum truck motor in it, but will just have the 318 rebuilt....
I am a huge fan of the 1968 and 1969 dodge chargers great find my dad had a 1968 dodge charger r/t back in the 1980's but that was before I was born man I wish I could have seen my dad's charger
I know a lot of people believe saving this car would be a waste of time and effort considering it's condition and missing parts but when you consider all the spliced together unit body abominations lurking around today perhaps that's not the case. The car's floor, frame and basic body structure is just the way it was when it left the factory half a century ago. That's more than one can say for some of the restored junk you see nowadays. It's definitely a sensible project for the right builder.
Great Video. A lot of guys couldn't see the end results of this car plus they don't have your Talent. It pays to be young. I miss doing cars like this. Still work on them and Drive them like Hell, just not as young or the energy.
If that Thunderbird had gone into the ravine it might not have been found for weeks or longer. The highways in the Nevada desert are deadly, and they are lined with white crosses. For some reason it is so easy to drift off the road and there are small boulders everywhere looking to be the next widow maker.
I imagine they currently re-make all the pieces you'll need to make this car good again, because...wow...there's not much left of it (all interior and gages) engine/trans lights,wiring. Good luck, I'm sure it will be nice again.
I love this car! Like you said look at the floors and rails! Who gives a shit the sheet metal is mangled! That's easy to restore compared to a rot box you have to do everything underneath! Wish I had gotten it I'd built her!!! In albany New York we don't find anything like this and if someone has a charger on their property they want 10 grand for sometime with the leaf springs going thru the trunk floor! Props man love the channel! Mark worman claims to be the mopar master but we all know who the real one is!!!
This car could have been one that was stolen from my family in Utah? I remember as a boy doing doughnuts in the back yard at age 6 when no one was around. Good luck 🍀
The amount of armchair experts I've had comment on cars like this over the years! Their sooooo good at resto's, their idea of resto work is signing loads of checks or they expect to find a near concourse car for a few bucks that they can flip!
would be cool to just make usefull by pressing wost dents out and leave bullet holes if they dont hurt and make it top notch inside with perfect drivechain ! cruising it like that would make ppl neck hurt!
I'm curious if you will ever leave a car dressed in full ravine-patina,,, bullit holes and all . I think that would be very cool,,, stomped roof and all. Just put front & rear glass,,,, make the doors simply close & open. You probably think I am crazy. It would be the first ravine/patina car I ever saw.
i just found 27 of these things on my new property last week down a hollar 9 are junk the rest are complete most windows too i cant believe it over 100 cars and trucks there total almost look hid i didnt see them when i looked at the property till i went hunting there
I saddens me to see that charger forgotten. All the American workers who designed it and assembled every part of it. All the memories of buying it and driving it home just pushed to the side and abused...........hope you fix her up an smoke the tires off her!!!!
What's the deal with ownership on it? Obviously someone kicked the thing off a ravine so nobody gives a shit about it, but can you really just scoop the thing up and get paperwork on it and call it yours? Did you contact the property owner?
that car will more than likely cost easily twice as much to restore to just a driver, let alone a show worthy car, than you could buy a pristine one all ready done. I found a way nicer 1970 Barracuda in very similar circumstances except for it would not roll anymore. Went through a lot of crap to get it loaded on a trailer and get it home only to find the frame rails on both sides front to rear, that looked very solid from the outside, could be crushed just by squeezing them with your hand. Well I got lots of good parts off it to sell anyway. Obviously this guy has the time, money, ability, place, and equipment to do a restoration of this caliber and I guarantee at some point he will ask himself "what did I get into here"??? But good luck!
I can't see for the life of me what the fuck is even remotely useful on that piece of shit.... The VIN number? Slap it on one of those hard to find Chinese made bodies? I mean what is useful?
Actually that car is really solid with no rust, all u gotta do is replace the quarters and roof skin, the rest is bolt on panels. Pretty easy resto it sounds to me

Road kill would have arrived with some tools and then driven it out of the Creek two days later .
Andy Nixon doubt it

Nice rescue! Glad to know this car will be back on the road one day. I enjoyed your video!

the charger hunts/expeditions are killa,especially when one finds the cars with the good factory options,
@junkerup any update on this car? Would love to see her back on the road
More save an abandoned Charger videos please! This was epic !!
Amazing,totally viable project there. She will roar again!
Andrew Wilson q+
Is there a follow up video on the progress or restoration. ?
Super solid car, will be cool to see the car finished!
very cool......thx for sharing
That must have been a gorgeous car when new.
I imagine they currently re-make all the pieces you'll need to make this car good again, because...wow...there's not much left of it (all interior and gages) engine/trans lights,wiring. Good luck, I'm sure it will be nice again.
I can not believe you found that car. Damn im jealous lol
Any updates on this charger build Chris ?

If u ever get to it i will be waitn and ready to watch
I cant believe somebody did this to a Charger.
If you double the winch cable over it will double the pulling power of the winch
This car could have been one that was stolen from my family in Utah? I remember as a boy doing doughnuts in the back yard at age 6 when no one was around. Good luck 🍀
Hi Chris, do you still have this ravine car, and if so, what's going on with it? .... any update for me and your fans ? Thanks, Steve.
yes i still have it, going to be next years ziptie drags hooptie challenge car
That's a sin that someone would do that to Charger. Glad to hear you can save it! How many Charger is that now?
What did you end up doing with it?
Wyoming? And there's other mopars in that ravine?
Well done !
The patina is insane
great video mate its been a while since the last one how's daisy doing?
its still getting worked on, just need moe $ lol
Junkerup we all need mo dollar
I’d love to know what you ended up doing with this car.
The amount of armchair experts I've had comment on cars like this over the years!
Their sooooo good at resto's, their idea of resto work is signing loads of checks or they expect to find a near concourse car for a few bucks that they can flip!
Anyone got video of the other cars an trucks??
Were you able to get a title?

Did you buy it or are you just taking it ?
Wow that is a clean car
No, Definatley shows promise, seen a lot more rusty ones in other reviews
wtf!!!!!!!!! it looks like someone just beat the shit out of it
would be cool to just make usefull by pressing wost dents out and leave bullet holes if they dont hurt and make it top notch inside with perfect drivechain ! cruising it like that would make ppl neck hurt!
first! seriously, this charger has to get built... no Vin tag besides the fender tag?
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage it has the vin
awesome! in a couple weeks I may come by and say hi btw, and maybe even see Daisy in person...
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage i see you everywhere good to see you again man!
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage is bad ass
This was a great save!

Save em ALL!!!!

Just the under body parts are worth keeping this car.
Could that be the missing blue charger off of Christine .steven king movie??
Nice !

Perfect frame floor looking good slap a body on that.
What did you film this on? A toaster ? lol.
I saddens me to see that charger forgotten. All the American workers who designed it and assembled every part of it. All the memories of buying it and driving it home just pushed to the side and abused...........hope you fix her up an smoke the tires off her!!!!
Cool
I want one
snaged or stolen hmmm ?
Want to sell it?
how u title a lost car like that
It's Fairly Easy Believe It Or Not
Nobody would look at that in California
You got that right!
Youre kidding.. the structure is Perfect. reskinned, good foundation for a restore.
just need to get out the OLD credit card and call AMD ! (ALL METAL DIRECT )
Saved another muscle car CQQL
that things worth 20 grand as is accordin to craigsjunklist
Im guessing stolen bout 40 years ago
What's the deal with ownership on it? Obviously someone kicked the thing off a ravine so nobody gives a shit about it, but can you really just scoop the thing up and get paperwork on it and call it yours? Did you contact the property owner?
SuperKONR just government land, getting title is easy
How do you get legal title and ownership??
I like your content i will subscribe but your camera 📷 a 🥔

Looks like that car was in a police chase from all those bullet holes. The crooks dumped it down that ravine and stole another car
Aren't you stealing that car? Weird that you would just take it like that.
John L finders keepers...abandoned car in a ravine for 25years free game
How do you plan on getting a title...
John L already got it
Shouldnt think the previous owners gonna turn up!, probably in jail, or dead!
I can't see for the life of me what the fuck is even remotely useful on that piece of shit.... The VIN number? Slap it on one of those hard to find Chinese made bodies? I mean what is useful?

and you had your last CAT scan when? please tell me you didn't pay any money for that....piece of...

To much pre yapping. Get to the point.
