This doesn't surprise me. I had a 68 charger almost 30 years ago with a 318 and one day I was late for school and realized I was on E in gas and had no money. I knew my dad had gas cans in the garage with gas in them. The first two cans were empty and I was getting worried. I then picked up a 5 gallon can and it was full. I opened it up and smelled it, it smelled like gas and so I put it in. Turned out to be kerosene. The car ran like shit that day, spitting and sputtering but it actually ran on kerosene. I did find out that since kerosene burns hotter than gas that I probably burned out any carbon I had in the engine by doing this. Once I got real gas in it, initially it sputtered occasionally get rid of the last bit of kerosene but after that the 318 ran fine. Did 100mph with no problem.
in the words of Dr. Frankenstein, It's ALIVE. congratulations my fellow car fanatic. it's amazing to hear the sound of a once sleeping monster roar to life again.
I'll watch ANY "started after XX years of storage" or "barn find running" video! Feels so good. Hits me in a spot I don't think all people have. Keep it up.
Hahahaha Congratulations. I'm so happy for you that the ol 69 Started. Hahahaha, I wish I could shake your hand... Thanks for making my day,and inspiring me for the first time I can get my 70 Charger started. Thanks Sir!
Danm what a beauty! Lots of potential ! Any plans to restore? ( I love the patina but the rear corner by the wheel will need abit of love.) can't wait to see more
Damn! I wish I had one! Factory 440! Nice! I wish I had this car for my General Lee Project. I'm sure one will fall into my hands sooner or later. Nice to hear it run!
I am hopeful after watching this that I too will be able to restore my charger. I loved my daddy so much and he will be so proud when I finally restore my car and pass it on to his only grandson...
1977 I got my 1st car. a 69 roadrunner for 325.00. run it drove it to school. 1980 went into air force and mom wanted it gone from yard. she sold it for 100.00. no rust
AMAZING THAT THIS OLD GIRL ACTUALLY TURNED OVER,LET ALONE ACTUALLY STARTED.I'M SURE SHE RAN LONG ENOUGH TO GET UP ON THE TRAILER.SHE NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORE,THEN LET'S SEE WHAT SHE DOES ON THE ROAD!
I don't want to offend & my english is bad, I just don't have the knowledge. Before you start it for the video did you rinse the engine with oil and did you "turn the engine before by hand"? I hope you understand what I'm asking. Because alot of people I met told me with old cars standing so long and then "just starting" it will kill the engine. But even if you do a rebuild after 20 years, is this right? I know, fresh fluids like a oil change have to be done before the first start, but what's with the gaskets inside the engine etc.?
I saw a 69 charger for the very first time when I was in the second grade. I heard it be for I saw it !! I was totally blown away when I turned to see it , I was in love and have been ever since!! I always dreamed of having one of my own some day,my chance came one day when I was 26 years old but I put my family be 4 my dreams. im 55 years old now and I still have my dream of owning one , in reality the world and some of the bad people in it can take a lot of things from me (and thay have) I know Ill never own one buy thay caint take my dreams!
William Osborne sr Well said William Sacrifice is just part of being a good father and husband, and it sounds like you are I am 53 and sometimes it feels like time is running out and I guess it is It might be time to drop 50,000 on a Charger if you can :-)
Nice glad to see allot Dodge Charger's running still. I had my 69 Charger for a very long time. My late Aunt had it brand new off the lot. And i got the car day's before she passed back in 2007. And i still have the car to this day. And yes it drives good still. It had the original motor rebuilt several time's. And also trans has been rebuilt also. And i had allot and i do mean allot of people tell me to paint it orange and paint it like the Dukes of Hazzard. Nope it's still staying black like always. And no Dixie horn. It has a good horn. Actually 2 train horn's. And yes they are loud to make the person in front of u get outta the way quicker.
No smoke? Should be pumping a ton of smoke after sitting for 20 years. It sounds so sweet upon start up but I think it fouls a plug or 2? Crazy how well these cars hold up down south or out west. That car would be solid rust sitting outside here in Detroit for 20 years :(
I expected lots a smoke but nothing.. wow nice charger! I say spacers in the back, raise it just a little bit, some flowmasters or some and just leave the rest as is!! I am very very jealous haha
Love second gen B bodies! I own a 68 charger. This video reminded me of the Pontiac Lemans i bought in Colorado off of Ebay. It sat in a pole barn for literally over 30 years with a bunch of other cars. They pulled the car outside and put some starter fluid in it and it started up immediately with a recharge to the battery. Since i have taken posession of it, i have dropped the tank, drained the gas, and did a proper tune up with timing, dwell, new points, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and fresh gas and it purrs like its new which is truly amazing to me. It is still spitting rust out of the exhaust when you rev it from the rusty exhaust pipes, but it runs and sounds amazing for sitting 30 years. For the haters that don't believe its possible to start an engine that has sat 20 years, this is the video of the start up on my Lemans that sat since the 80s ruclips.net/video/WlFWUfj1IIM/видео.html
Leaving one of those to rust is criminal! One of the coolest cars of all time!
M H the coolest
M H yes,leaving her outside!
Not smoking, thats a good sign.
there is just no oil.
It's also a sign the head isn't cracked though.
Good sign you men miracle
Mopar engines never die! P.S Not that I'm not a Ford or Chevy guy too, love for all V8s
As long as it's American,RWD with a V8 I'm good
James Burch Deus abençoe América!!
James Burch I'm not sure which I like better the inline 6 or a standard V8
Finally, someone who thinks like me.

I just bought a 69 Chevelle , kinda in the condition of the Charger in this video. The more 60's cars we save, the better!
Cool! I love the sound of that starter, and hearing the engine rumble back to life!
in the words of Dr. Frankenstein, It's ALIVE. congratulations my fellow car fanatic. it's amazing to hear the sound of a once sleeping monster roar to life again.
Restore that gem. She's a survivor.
awesome! can't wait to get my 69 charger running
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage didn't think I'd find you here lol
Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage Deus abençoe América!!
Man that sound took me back about 30 plus years back when I got my first car a 68 RT Dodge Charger. can’t wait to see more.
I'll watch ANY "started after XX years of storage" or "barn find running" video! Feels so good. Hits me in a spot I don't think all people have. Keep it up.
Excellent!!! Let's see more of this car. Or what can be done with it...
God damn love that car imagine how cool it would be with a shiny new looking 440 sitting between those patinad fenders
Its a good idea if it didnt had the original 383 and if it was not running but sinces it is running and original it dont really make much since
thats not the original engine that was made clear in a different video
Ekd 440 engines are pricey and seem overrated to me ,I'd rather a newer engine with more power and better mileage
Ernie P it would change the whole character of the car though and it would have its survivor look
you can buy a 440 for about 1k usd
Hahahaha Congratulations. I'm so happy for you that the ol 69 Started. Hahahaha, I wish I could shake your hand... Thanks for making my day,and inspiring me for the first time I can get my 70 Charger started. Thanks Sir!
glad to see this beauty works!
fallout
Dylan your filmaking technique is great you bring this depth of old cinema back to modern times.. i felt like i was watching christine almost
I approve of this message
steve collects7 i dont
Awesome Gamer same
That was the most satisfying cold start I've ever heard.
Don't paint the car
Clear coat lol
why
Kevin Alvarez. I agree.
YEAH!! Let it always look like a piece of shit! Why make it look nice!! (???? HUUH??)
yes, please paint it.
There's also the fact of original and unrestored to consider.
Wow that's a beautiful thing to hear that car come back to life after so long.
Not bad... I had a 69 R/T it was fast but loved gas i step down on it i see the gas gauge drop lol... it had the 383 cam headers air shocks.
Dude, dig those Mopar stamped valve covers.
Danm what a beauty! Lots of potential ! Any plans to restore? ( I love the patina but the rear corner by the wheel will need abit of love.) can't wait to see more
Damn! I wish I had one! Factory 440! Nice! I wish I had this car for my General Lee Project. I'm sure one will fall into my hands sooner or later. Nice to hear it run!

That soothing sound of the country with the crickets and frogs! Nice damn car by the way.
the generals in good shape, luke
nice wish my 68 still had the original 440. has a 383 right now :(

The Monster Return!!!
The car is alive, alive, alive, alive, alive.
Man that sounds good!
That is bad ass. I just hope someone changed all of the fluids before hand.
It is lovely to see how this old lady is getting alive again.
My grandpa on my moms side has a light yellow 1968 Dodge Charger RT with a 440 engine and its bad ass
Odd how clean the wheels n tires are.
Wow that car is a trooper for surviving the engine sounds good like if you agree
this video kinda reminds me of Doc hudson racing alone on the dirt track alone
good too see the old beast still alive...👍
I am hopeful after watching this that I too will be able to restore my charger. I loved my daddy so much and he will be so proud when I finally restore my car and pass it on to his only grandson...
sounds like its got some balls hopefully you get it tuned and drivable!
Love the sound of an old Mopar!
everytime i see a video like this specially i like the car my heart beats so fast excited waiting and hoping it starts
a true miracle.still got pulse.how much cash is required to own one in excellent condition.
I wonder if that was my Charger! Same color with black vinyl roof in Southern Ohio 1972/73. I gave it to my sister when I entered the Air Force.
I have a hard time believing that the car didn't even smoke at all after sitting for so long
Chuck Taylor King its a mopar engine=high quality
So how does the car looks now?! Very interested!
that sound gave me tears
1977 I got my 1st car. a 69 roadrunner for 325.00. run it drove it to school. 1980 went into air force and mom wanted it gone from yard. she sold it for 100.00. no rust
how long has it been abandoned on the side of the road
Lazer Peabody have you read the title of the video
AMAZING THAT THIS OLD GIRL ACTUALLY TURNED OVER,LET ALONE ACTUALLY STARTED.I'M SURE SHE RAN LONG ENOUGH TO GET UP ON THE TRAILER.SHE NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORE,THEN LET'S SEE WHAT SHE DOES ON THE ROAD!
Cool! I used to own a 68' Dodge cornet 500
Is it weird that I'm watching this while also watching the video of his dodge he rescued
I don't want to offend & my english is bad, I just don't have the knowledge.

Well said William
Sacrifice is just part of being a good father and husband, and it sounds like you are
I am 53 and sometimes it feels like time is running out and I guess it is
It might be time to drop 50,000 on a Charger if you can
:-)
They caint take your grammar, neither. Nohow, dagnabbit! o_0
Holy shit... what a monster sound even as sick as she is. Amazing she fired up. Awesome!

+Apb Fake Silver you thick fuck
matt vanmeter nnkmsmmsks

This channel is insane. SUBBED!
My friends congrats to revive a old girl moose motor never dies they keep chugging

sounds good for sitting and left for dead, awesome!! I agree with not painting it run what you got 👍
Shake Rattle and Roll Garage I second that
Engine sounds quite healthy slight miss fire, did not take a lot to get it started.
Fucking awesome man
Schön das er läuft. Macht aus ihm wieder einen Schatz. Tolles Auto.
Maybe it's not done
Any tips on how to potentially find one?
Ich werde nie verstehen, wie man solche wunderschönen Autos so vergammeln lassen kann
what did you do? it more or less fired right up.
It's a wonder those points weren't frozen!
How many of us have cars stashed away in garages for decades? Yep I'm guilty, 70 Plymouth Duster.
Great job!!
This video gives me life
do you still have the challenger? I would like to buy it
Daaaamn, would love to have a car like that one day
No smoke? Should be pumping a ton of smoke after sitting for 20 years. It sounds so sweet upon start up but I think it fouls a plug or 2? Crazy how well these cars hold up down south or out west. That car would be solid rust sitting outside here in Detroit for 20 years :(
its the first run from 20 years ?
Wow amazing everything in rust and working :D
I expected lots a smoke but nothing.. wow nice charger! I say spacers in the back, raise it just a little bit, some flowmasters or some and just leave the rest as is!! I am very very jealous haha
such beautiful car I've seen take good care of it
SHE LIVES!
how someone can abandon car like this
Man what a sound
Love second gen B bodies! I own a 68 charger.

Those tires looks brand new....
Hugo ARCHIVE They're nearly new. He put them on to get the car rolling.
not bad for an car that's been sitting for 20 years
it will run but im sure engine is damaged after 1 week due rust
good work!
What a nice sound
sounds like Harley. Best car ever made - owner 07 Dodge Charger.
Just needs a light buff and some Armor All.
awesome son in it every 20 years the family authentic awesome very very cool how much it's question how much
Ahhhh... the beast ...
Do MORE VIDS WITH THIS CAR PLS
