So glad that you decided to film this brother, you are the Internet Charger Jesus, preach to all of those who do not follow the Birdsong Book O' Chargers.
Agreed and for the record, I spent 6 years trying to buy the same 68 Charger. Six years before my friend could let go of it AND IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. Lol
In the 80s you could buy hemi Cudas for that price maybe cheaper but those days are long gone, my buddy bought a 72 Z28 for $2500 in 1988 and my neighbor sold beautiful muscle cars out of his yard for around $2500.
kevin leigh the old adage of "its worth what someone is willing to pay" is extremely accurate with the old car game. Problem is people that have never owned one just wants one because everyone else does and it drives the prices to insane levels. More money than intelligence out there.
@@ConcussedGaming Not for 5K. Not in anyone's dream world. Either pay 30K plus for a decent project and give it a thorough going-over, or choose from a bunch of less popular Mopar models that can still be had for decent money...there are lots of 300's, Polaras, Windsors, Monacos, Fury's, even 3rd and 4th-gen Chargers out there that would be more easily attainable projects.
great videos - i remember the good old days - a long time ago the day after my sixteenth birthday I bought a four year old 1969 charger for a thousand dollars. I saved the money working fast food and a paper route. You would not believe how much that car affected the rest of my life. thanks for bringing back great memories.
It's always good to hear this kind of info from you, cause I know it's unbiased and true. I have wanted a Charger for as long as I can remember. I mean the Dukes of Hazzard started airing when I was four years old. That cemented these cars in my mind forever, that and girls with great legs! I agree with you about the numbers matching hype. Granted, there are some real gems that deserve to be original and done right. But for me? I'll take a base 318 charger that I can build the way I want and have fun driving it.
Good advice, I did buy a 70 charger burnt orange on burnt orange from my dads neighbor a couple years ago . My dad kept asking me to come check it out I was pretty busy so he sent me a couple pictures and I saw that it was a RT so of course I found some time to go check it out. The neighbor had it in his barn since 86 and we had never seen or heard about it he new my dad was a mopar guy because he drove a 59 coronet and offered him the car.
Hi Scott I too had a 1970 Dodge Charger in 1979. It was burnt orange with burnt orange interior, bucket seats console and a white vinyl top that was dyed or stained a tan color., NOT AN RT though, it had a 383 Magnum 2bbl. carb. I loved it,very nice 1st car for 400$.🥰✌👌🤠🧔🚗🚦♥️🕶🎶☮🆒️🟠🏁🇺🇲🧰🏆🥀
G MAN im 15 i’ve wanted a charger since I was 5. I wanna learn how to rebuild them and fix them. The quality in old cars is so much better than today’s standards.
My dad builds /rebuilds them from 68 to 70 chargers and roadrunners hes bought a few from vanguard motor sales im a mopor head and i own his 68 426 hemi charger black on black and hes got few chevys for sell
TOO bad like hearing the prices , I know there expensive because I looked at Chargers for years. Finally got a very nice Charger for a decent price. The triple black you bought was priced right. Where are you going to find an original triple black R/T for that money, not on the east coast for sure.
Another GREAT video!! Appreciate all the GREAT advice. I got drunk on Ebay and purchased a project 70 Charger for a good price but I was expecting to buy a lot of sheet metal panels, especially the back quarters and trunk because 90% of project Chargers need that anyway... and yes the interiors are stupidly expensive too!!! But these are 50 year old cars... I just resent the higher price for MOPAR parts compared to GM & Ford...
Just like your Cobras, Tigers, NSXs, Panteras, etc etc etc etc. I could have bought a rust free 1970 GTO 400 auto for 5 grand in 1993. Clean, straight, slick. All there. Could have bought a numbers matching '70 GS455 stage 1 for the same price about that time. Needed fenders and a carpet. Trans, dustributor, and carb were all stage 1, block was original to car. Five grand.
I was one of the "dummies" when I bought my 68. This was years ago and I had been looking for a long time and actually had 2 sellers back out on me. Finally found a complete "barn stored" Charger and just pulled the trigger and picked it up almost sight unseen. Turns out there was A LOT more wrong with it that I thought (RUST!). Got lucky with a lot of the body and solid frame rails but long story short, I'm still working on it years later. I should be driving the damn thing already... I will get her finished in no small part due to these videos. Unbelievably helpful!!! Thank you for all you do on here.
There was so much useful information in this video. Thank you for sharing these lessons that cost you thousands of dollars to learn. You shared the cost of so many of the vital components but no one ever speaks of cost/value of varying condition from complete car to rotten hunk of rust. I know things are only worth what someone will pay for them. And I’m aware that a complete running driving car can be worth less than a mangled heap solely on the options on the vin plate. I just think it would be helpful to have a clue how much a decent 2nd gen charger should cost
Couldn’t of said it any better, I’ve been messing with Mopar’s for forty plus years. Guys and Gals that know these sixty’s and seventies Mopar’s know where to look and what to look for. When folks ask me about any old car and they’re not able to do the work for themselves I always tell them don’t buy a cheap pos, save your money and get a nice looking, reliable car that you want you’ll save a ton of money. I tell them to take a buddy who’s knowledgeable about those cars and someone to be the voice of reason. Great video Chris, viewers take his advice.
Hey Chris there are a lot of people out here that want you to stop educating everybody on how these people are ripping you off. You are educating everybody on how not to get ripped off and it’s killing them😂😂. Keep up the good work..!
Most of the complainers are the one's who are stuck in the 80's and can't accept prices are no longer 80's prices. We all love a deal, but reality is a real smack down for many. I tell these people go find and buy are gem Sedan from the 60's or early 70's and have the same fun in a cool car for a fraction of the cost. And the old saying holds true: "You can't build it for what you can buy it for".
God the hours and hours I've spent watching your videos. Better binge watch than anything on tv. Start at 10 PM and look down next thing you know its 6am haha
We were visiting the Petersen Museum earlier this year, and a quote from Mr P stood out to me. He said, ‘always pay more for the right car.’ He went on to say that the right car will be more enjoyable to own in the long run.
Most people can't see the potential in a car that needs some work! I prefer a car that doesn't have a motor and trrans in it, that way I can put what I want!
I know you are super busy chris, but I hope you will post some restoration vids soon. You are an inspiration to so many, and you are so talented. I am not trying to blow smoke up your %#&, I just really want to see more panel replacement vids. I have learned a lot from you! Thanks in advance.
Wow ,thought you gave up on talking to us.when are you going to get back to working on cars ?.A person really can learn alot from you if they pay attention.... Hope to see something smoking tires soon.......
Listen to this man. He is in the money. I have a basket case 69 R/T S/E that I should have left where I found it. It has taken me years to locate all the pieces that were missing from the car.
I understand what you're saying completely if it's already been torn down all the rusty stuff taken off then the rest is or soda blasted and epoxy saved you a lot of work I bought a 1968 Camaro here and Tampa Florida I looked under it before I bought it look good from what I could see and I didn't know exactly where to look for rust in other crusty places so I drove it for a little while and I kept seeing more more rust so I took the carpet out lo and behold street signs so someone put street signs in the floor and got up under it and dressed up with a little Bondo put the carpet and padding in good to go so now I'm doing a whole lot more work and a little less driving .
NEVER OCCURED TO ME BUT I PURCHASED MY CHARGER IN 2003.$2 GRAND. IT WAS GOOD AMOUNT OF CASH FOR ME BUT SOMETHING AFFORD. I MUST HAVE BOUGHT RIGHT BEFORE PRICES GOT CRAZY HIGH. I STILL FEEL PRETTY LUCKY
I don't thinks it's so much as people "being a dummy", but more people that can't afford good cars that drastically underestimate their skill level and cost of missing/rusty/damaged parts and they buy the crap car they can afford, but this was a great video. Save up longer, keep looking, sell some crap you don't need and always buy the better car. You almost always save more in the end.
Thats what I like about having a 4th gen Dart. You don't get much street cred at car shows etc for having one, but parts are still easy to find and they won't break the bank.
One I'm looking at has a Dana 60 . It's bronze /Copper colored. 383 (seized) with factory ac and disc brakes. Comes with extra interior dash parts all glass has been smashed out of it but has 2 rear windows inside has 68 rt parts in it. But it needs a new ass but rails are solid grills perfect and all ac stuff is there.
@13:45 anyone else see the outline of a person in the sky in the clouds? I guess my A.D.D. is kicking in toniggghhh wow i miss my dog and the doctor said I can have chips....... lol A.D.D. jokes
I might have been a dummy when I bought my '70. It has the majority of the things he says to make sure the car comes with. But. There's holes in the frame rails. Big ones too. So I'll be having all of that fixed and done at a resto shop before too long here. But I'm not going to regret it. It might take some extra money other vehicles wouldn't, but I have a '70 Charger. And it's mine. And that makes me happy.
Always wanted a semi-decent or decent 71 or 72 roadrunner for around 40k or a little more or less. Seems they're up to 70k now, and the rest are rusted frames.
Or your like me and buy the most rotted out charger in the world thats falling apart everywhere and folding in half and then put the sheet metal on a crown vic
Lotsa great advice. Looking forward to the rental build, that's a great idea. Think I would stick with a small block for a rental if it were me. You'll want to rent it more than a couple times hah. Thanks for sharing
Agree 100% bought my 69 Roadrunner in pieces- complete. Blasted, on a body jig, title, vin, data plate, drive train, axle, trans, k-frame x2, old crager ss wheels, orig N96 parts, etc etc. And got a great deal to boot.
Everyone of us hate a know it all. Theres a difference in giving advice, and acting as if your the only person that has sense enough to know how to buy a antique muscle car. First off ,if your buying one to restore your a fool anyway with more money than sense. It would have to be a rare car to gain in any way buying for restoration. Because let's face it modern technology, and horsepower these days make those old dinosaurs look horrible!
I looked at one that's been redone at some point and it looked real sweet...except for the radiator support which had newer paint like the rest of the car, but it has obviously been mangled. The guy failed to mention it's been crashed before. I walked away from that. No prior accident cars for me.
im one of the guys who bought a "cheap charger" and when i say cheap i mean complete but for 5K, this car is bad. its going to be between 5k and 10k in material alone to get it mostly restored, it would be more but me and a bunch of my buddies are going to be working on it to save on labor costs so im lucky in that i have a shop, a lift, and a welder i can use and thats gonna save me alot. if you dont have a place to wrench on a car and the tools neccisary expect to pay alot to get it right because you are going to be paying a shop to do alot of work for you and they aint cheap.
you need the FUEL cap. As for the wiring it's like 50 years old so ya might as well replace most of it anyways. I need to get a kit for my 71 satellite.
Your message really speaks to me! My absolute dream car is a 1969 charger! When i decided to look at the market for one they were just way out of my price range. And I was looking to restore one, im no stranger to hard work! But even a rusted out roller just a shell was over 10k and that a base model, nothing special! What makes these cars so expensive a amature enthusiast like me cant even afford one? But i was able to aquire a 1970 dodge Coronet that hopefully will someday be on the road. But hopefully a charger will cross my path! Good message! Like seeing your cars and what you do to them!🤘
So glad that you decided to film this brother, you are the Internet Charger Jesus, preach to all of those who do not follow the Birdsong Book O' Chargers.

Last year Uncle Tony Garage he went and looked at a duster and it was a flipper hack job with a BS story . That flipper was speechless .
Yep. 3 different cars in one and fresh welds throughout.
Saw that vid. That car was a TERD!
Love uncle tony channel. And don’t forget to take home some of my tasty fried chicken!! Ha ha! It just taste so damn good!
@JonsReef If you're honest about it when you go to sell it, still jonpriblem. The problem is that seller wasn't being honest...
100% complete just needs a drive train and it needs to be assembled. LMFAO
I think the majority of people who complain they can’t find one are looking for a concourse quality vehicle for 5K.
@kevin leigh and thats why you will never own one, and will only own POS's
In the 80s you could buy hemi Cudas for that price maybe cheaper but those days are long gone, my buddy bought a 72 Z28 for $2500 in 1988 and my neighbor sold beautiful muscle cars out of his yard for around $2500.

How much is the tuition for an Associates Degree in Chargerology with Professor Junkerup?
One thing I’ve seen is idiots selling stripped down cars (rollers) with no drivetrain no engine no trans for 20k+
The charger he's got in the video probably wasn't far off from that price. It's what they're going for in good condition.
I love it, Chris buys a Charger to get a Joe Dirt steering wheel.
I think Homer Simpson had one on his car in some flashbacks too
No you can’t please everyone Chris, you’re right buddy, it’s like damned if you do and damned if you don’t!
Excellent advice man. This applies to most old cars. Also applies to old motorcycles, finding out the hard way.........getting done, but DAMN........

The lesson is you should have bought your Mopars years ago

My first car was a 68. Green top. Green interior. Green body. 383 / auto console. A/C. Where is it now? Who knows. 1974
68 charger is my favourite, round tail lights....
What I've always found! Repop sucks! The rubber lasts a few years and then looks terrible. Metal never fits!
Keep trying to get my cousin to sell me his 69 Road Runner convertible.. 383 4spd.. Sits in a garage covered with boxes of junk...
Great Advice Chris! What People That Haven't Torn Apart And Rebuilt Any Type Of Car Is The 'LEARNING CURVE' Associated With Said Car.
tons of great knowledge bombs dropped here...Boom!
I bought my 68 charger which was complete site unseen from Oklahoma. Its needs work but nothing i cant handle. I paid 7k for it plus 1k for shipping
Know anyone with a 71-72 Road Runner for around that price?! That’s a deal!

It is good to end the video with us laughing out loud. Thanks Chris.
One I'm looking at has a Dana 60 . It's bronze /Copper colored. 383 (seized) with factory ac and disc brakes. Comes with extra interior dash parts all glass has been smashed out of it but has 2 rear windows inside has 68 rt parts in it. But it needs a new ass but rails are solid grills perfect and all ac stuff is there.

I'm pleased! You're one guy I know that can build a $100.000 chargers all day long! Thanks for posting! Best to you young man!

Damn that was straight talk. Greetings from Germany
Chris, I will make a Vegas run just to rent your General Lee once you get’r done. Please post more vids as you are making the General Lee.
I will trade my 1995 vw Jetta mk3 , for any old charger any shape, don't care how bad*****
AWESOME MAN🤪🤪🤪THATS IT, IM GETTING ME AFREAKIN CHARGER TO BUILD *****
"Undumbify", now that's a dumb word that makes sense..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Chris!
What brand windshield weatherstrip do you recommend?
I need to keep an eye out on KSL. I’d love a nice 68 or 69 Charger or even a 70-74 Barracuda.
What sage advice.
Great tips Chris. I recall seeing a past video where you gave details about chassis rust and how to find it.
Or your like me and buy the most rotted out charger in the world thats falling apart everywhere and folding in half and then put the sheet metal on a crown vic
chris is around 15000 dollars enough for a charger 500/rt with a big block that needs resturation?
Always ask for receipts if seller claims rebuilt this and that. You rock Chris.
I've been a car dummy. Thought I was getting a deal. Got a bucket...
I bought my 1968 for 425 dollars and it was mint back in 1978 . Are they really worth the money?
Lotsa great advice. Looking forward to the rental build, that's a great idea. Think I would stick with a small block for a rental if it were me. You'll want to rent it more than a couple times hah. Thanks for sharing
That is a great video. So much info. Thanks man.
Couldn’t you take a magnet and a microfiber cloth to check for putty.
Agree 100% bought my 69 Roadrunner in pieces- complete. Blasted, on a body jig, title, vin, data plate, drive train, axle, trans, k-frame x2, old crager ss wheels, orig N96 parts, etc etc. And got a great deal to boot.

im one of the guys who bought a "cheap charger" and when i say cheap i mean complete but for 5K, this car is bad. its going to be between 5k and 10k in material alone to get it mostly restored, it would be more but me and a bunch of my buddies are going to be working on it to save on labor costs so im lucky in that i have a shop, a lift, and a welder i can use and thats gonna save me alot. if you dont have a place to wrench on a car and the tools neccisary expect to pay alot to get it right because you are going to be paying a shop to do alot of work for you and they aint cheap.
you need the FUEL cap. As for the wiring it's like 50 years old so ya might as well replace most of it anyways. I need to get a kit for my 71 satellite.
Your message really speaks to me! My absolute dream car is a 1969 charger! When i decided to look at the market for one they were just way out of my price range. And I was looking to restore one, im no stranger to hard work! But even a rusted out roller just a shell was over 10k and that a base model, nothing special! What makes these cars so expensive a amature enthusiast like me cant even afford one? But i was able to aquire a 1970 dodge Coronet that hopefully will someday be on the road. But hopefully a charger will cross my path! Good message! Like seeing your cars and what you do to them!🤘
I want to replace the body mount bushings but still haven't found a company that makes replacements
Happy to be undummified 😂😂 Enjoyed the video!
