Keep us up to date Lucas, I have two 68 Chargers myself i am restoring, been three years now and still working away. Plus I have a 70 Challenger RT I found cheap to be done at a later date. But wow, a Hemi car? That would be a dream.
Hey Lucas I stumbled on that old body shop a few years ago myself...There was quite a few cars in there with much potential...A couple AMX's that were pretty much toast...But he had a 70 Javelin Mark Donahue Special that looked like it was in running condition...There was also a GTO Judge there at one time, but it was gone the next time I was there...The last time I looked, everything was gone...That was about 6 or 8 months ago
It's probably easier to win the lotto, then finding 2 hemi cars sitting side by side, both the same color, let alone both chargers. Just the tags alone could be worth a bunch! Great find, did you buy them? Reasonably.
I thought the same thing. I brought two generous offers to the seller, who rejected them both and insisted that he intends to restore them someday. He is 80 years old.
That is classic. These geezers that claim that they will restore them! I guess it is nice that they haven't given up on their passion but there comes a point where you have to face reality!
My parents used to have a 1966 dodge charger . It was purchased from the original owner in 1981 when we lived in Florida. The car still had its original window sticker, My family moved to TN in 2005 in 2012 and 2014 there were 2 garage fires. The charger and my '61 fury were saved but lost a '70 challenger convertible and a 1968 dart. the 2nd fire the charger and the fury were destroyed. My dad ran down to get inside to back the charger out by the time he got there it was too late. I was devistated when my '61 was destroyed . This happened because trash got burned the day before with dry grass. I was told I should of made the person who did the burning of the trash pay for my '61
senorkaboom LOL. As much as I love the guys at GMG, I'd like to see these go to the Mopar fanatics that have been waiting for years to get their hands on one of these!
senorkaboom They are indeed but I can tell you from experience that all of the parts are readily available. What isn't readily available is a real J-Code body to start with. The two Charger R/Ts that I sold in recent years (in comparable shape) went overseas so I'd like to think that we can keep these here.
***** nice cars and those mopars are worth fixing if I get the job I want I would see if I could talk u out of one of those chargers it would be awesome to work on one
it's my life long dream to have a mopar , blue with blue interior. I can't afford paying thousands upon thousands of dollars, but I would love it and drive it and never sell it.. I hope 1 day I can get one
+lynn Marshall theres a big problem right now theres alot of mopars rusting away because the owners think they have a gold mine and want to sell them at a very high price for a restoration project and forget you have to do a full rebuild which gonna be about 100k.
That 66 -67 charger is fixable because look at the frame and call graveyard carz they will help you. DO NOT CRUSH ANY CHARGER. If that car is a five hundred those are worth a lot like that charger that is wreck.

Believe those were the same ones listed online. Apparently according to the ad, someone lost storage or some such??? Just a guess, couple of the cars looked familiar, as I'm browsing online A LOT lol
wait, please tell me that 66 silver charger won't be crushed ! that can be fixed ! it's all front end damage ! even if there is frame damage, that car can be saved ! any info on it would be amazing please !
i found j code 69 runner h.t. "copper" auto, buckets & electric windows ( more like a gtx ) a clock instead of a tach so you would know what time it was when the hemi exploded the car is restored now. the guy wanted 2500$ back then lol.
From what I remember, Hemi cars like the 68-70 Chargers had "hemi" on the doors. I didn't see enough of the doors of these examples, because the guy moved the camera past them too quickly............Also one of them had the "Ramcharger" hood with an engine badge outline............that went too fast for the camera to catch..............
ohhhhh damn dude, those are sweet, too bad the owner probably wants like 25 grand for those hemi cars. On a local craigslist ad, there was a original (kinda rusty) 68 charger with a slant 6, i was like wtf? the ad said there were fewer slant 6 chargers built than hemi cars, he wanted like 32k for it, bow thats rediclous.
The prices of '68 - 70 Chargers are going through the roof. Hemi cars? Charger 500's? All are restoration candidates. Even a 383 car is the same condition as the first few cars are worth it. The caveat is that a complete restoration or refurbish of a car can easily exceed $100,000. It has to be worth it to you.
+Johny Gray so angry.... I made the corrections in the comments. It wasn't a video I had a chance to prepare for, I just whipped out the camera and started talking...
He wants minimum 20k for the charger, hemi cars went for 40-50k and the coronet is 40k still want em? Looking at close to 100k investment after restoration.
If that 80 year old geriatric had any sense he would have invested a few bobs on a tarpaulin to cover these treasures from the element, if I had the dosh I would have swam across the pond and bought both 68 n69 hemis
Those ARE NOT Hemi cars . And you have to remember that when these cars were parked , they were probably only worth about $100 . These cars were not always wanted or big buck collector cars . I bought my first car , a 70 Charger in 1978 for $250 .
***** I Thought you did.. Everybody loves the 68 70 chargers.. My to.. But I like the 66 67 also there are cool to love the nascar look and dashboard if original. The 66 will always be a dodge Cornett and no real Charger.. Thats why we love the 68 70s ones more because it was a all new design!
I think to buy any one of those cars, even in that condition, provided the title and vin problems could be worked out, you would be in the 50K range. If it were affordable it would be easy, thus no fun. Maybe the 440 super bee could be had for less, imo its the coolest one, I had a chance to buy one just like that but running and driving in the '80s for 1500. Lets say you got one charger hemi car for 50 k another 60k to restore it to a non-numbers matching car. I think it could bring over the 110k investment.
here is a close match to the 68 hemi 4spd charger that is all done its an RT for 105k. www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/dodge/charger-r-t/1817615.html So maybe 35k for the hemi cars in the video could work.
+Dan Cross I think that's a reasonable estimate. The buyer would have to have some deep pockets. The owner, in his 80s, still intends to restore these cars. (facepalm)
They all say that........these guys have a hoarding compulsion. Like the 80 year old guy with two Superbirds rotting on his property and no intention of selling.
Face-palm all you want....he has a real one owner Hemi Daytona with 3500 orig miles on it, along with a grip of other cars....I doubt he gives two shits what you think....really.
The blue Hemi Chargers are both sold....if ya want the Black RT...its 30k.....the Charger 500 is 20K....they are in Colorado.....303-995-9533 for info. (No tire kickers please)
Most of the interiors are trashed, sure that piece of paper is crumbled up and deteriorated or ripped out when the interiors were pulled maybe 1 out of all of em.
+Sam Peters I went by the location the other day and the owner has moved all the cars. According to the manager of the business that sits on the site now (who happens to be a rude, crusty old guy), the owner does not have any plans to sell the cars and plans to restore them, even though he's in his 80s and this is probably not going to happen. So we wait and hope...
I see videos like this and it brings back bad memories. These people can go to wal mart and buy a 15 dollar tarp right? I got tired of chasing stupid people to buy cars that will never see the street again. I love the cars but the people that own them are bat shit crazy.
The ole boy wasnt too bat shit crazy....he bought both those hemi cars for under 5k back in the day.....the 70 just sold for 45K....and the 68 for 55k.....crazy and ponder on that for a moment. LOL
I can't watch any more. Gonna puke. You know how much those original Rallye Wheels stacked up inside the Charger are worth??? A friggin' fortune!

The Charger 500 was a factory air car which makes it really rare. Out of the 392 500's built I think there are only about 20 that had A/C.
