I don't think people should get too excited about a bargain here. Unless the son is dead, or estranged, he will be the one to determine its future, and you don't just end up with a Charger without knowing what one is worth. He may be ready to sell it, but pretty unlikely it will be at the mercy of the mother to take the first £100. Beast all the same!

What a find !! If you can buy it, then buy it. There's a 1964 Mustang about twenty minutes away from me sitting in a ladies drive. Her husband bought it new, parked it on their drive way 10 years ago, passed away and that's where it has been since. Sadly she refuses to sell it.

TBH it's not really a found is it? to be found it has to be lost to start with, more a spotted IMHO, it's in a front garden and obv "resting" mid resto or strip down, if it was a "found" it'd be in a back garden under grass or abandoned in a overgrown garage. I have a cortina in me Mums garage, been there for about 10 years, i take the plss leaving it there and she moans all the time about it (not that she uses the garage or even drives LOL) but that doesn't meen i want to sell it, it just meen i take the plss when it comes to leaving shlt round me mums

Unbelievable that's been sitting there years, i get stressed if one of my cars doesn't move for a week, i even have to roll my rolling shell Escort around a bit just to feel better Someone really should try and save it though, Mopars are not as cheap as Fords or Chevys to rebuild, if that car needs a complete grill that could cost £1500 (if you can find one) and Chargers can rot really badly especially around the rear window and boot floor, like most Yank Muscle they are pretty simple, and as someone mentioned the 68/9 Charger is just about the best looking Muscle car built. Had a nice solid 68 about ten years ago, should never have sold it, bought it for 7K, sold it for 11K, would be worth nearer 20K today , i'll probably never get to own another

looks like a 69 charger to me, same as the dukes of hazzard, bullit charger was an earlier charger model, around 66 I think the one in Bullitt was a '68, round tailights and no vertical bar in the grill. The earlier Charger was a different kettle of fish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Charger_(B-body) you're right there, got bullit on dvd as well, haven't seen it for about 10 years, (had to watch the chase on youtube)

Gosh, tearing around Dartford and Bexleyheath 25 years ago. That was me too, mostly in a Westfield so the only view I had of the Escorts was in the rear view mirror But it was fun, no mortgage, kids or serious job.
