Very Cool '68 Charger Survivor, Orig Paint, California Black Plate Car

[Bill Pritchard]

That rusty tailpipe has a bunch of holes in it....they look too uniformly round to be rust holes. What could possibly be the reason for that? And no, I'm not accepting 'weight reduction' as a credible response

Less than 30K orig miles and the original block & trans are gone??? Like what, someone was out hot-rodding it all the time and blew them both? Seems odd. How does the carpeting at the drivers side door sill get completely worn away? Also the fact that the bidding is at $42K seems odd, 'survivor' or not.

I saw that too Bill. I wondered. Possibly original pipes being a California car. Maybe they thought it would give it a more throaty sound. Maybe it whistles under acceleration!

It'll come back later with a different fender tag and a 440, 4 speed...

It'll need a new VIN also, because Chrysler had the foresight to have one letter in the VIN that indicated what engine originally came in the car.

Probably have everything they need from the rusted to dust donor.
