  • These three 2nd generation Dodge Chargers were completely unexpected sitting behind an old storage barn! We were there for another part of the property, and the owner mentioned that we might like what is out back, I was not expecting three Chargers!
    Not just any three Chargers, but two R/T's and a fully loaded 318 car! These definitely had me excited to say the least.

    What a waste! It's sad to see them in that condition. I've wanted a 69 Charger ever since I saw the Dukes of Hazzard when I was 10 years old. I'm 51 now and it's still a dream of mine to own one. In mint condition of course. Those three NEED to be restored pronto!

    My pops had a purple '69 Charger in the early '80s.
    I asked him why he sold it, he said, "Hell, nobody wanted those cars until the late '80s after Dukes of Hazzard"
    Wish i had it now!

      Until they get so rusty they are un-saveable... Criminal. Should choose one to keep, sell the rest so that the money from the sale of the others can create one really nicely restored car. Its a win-win, owner gets a a beaut of a car and the other cars can be saved.
