This Huge Pile Of Rusty Metal Is A Once-Gorgeous 1969 Charger

You’ll just have to believe me when I say that the primary image features a 1969 Charger. All you have to do is look closely; once you see the massive pile of rusted metal, you’ll have half of the way there.

A 1969 Charger that looks terrible was constructed in the hopes that people aren’t afraid of worthless metal that has been sitting in a junkyard for who knows how long.

The car (though calling it a “car” is painfully unrealistic) comes with everything you see in the photos and several extras, including a roof, a front end, and a front clip. eBay seller nathapardo-0 says they have most of the parts to turn it into a roller, though it’ll take plenty of work until this milestone is reached. You must feel comfortable welding all day long, as the first thing this Charger needs is to become a single piece of metal before standing on its wheels.

We’re not getting too many specifics, but it’s not hard to guess what happened with this Charger. The car probably spent the last decades outside, serving as a donor for another Charger. As a result, it lacks most parts, so if you believe it’s still worth a restoration, you should assume it needs everything.

Although the engine is absent, this Charger can still be used with any V8 engine, so it’s not all bad news. Although the 1969 model year is noted for the new 389 engines that were available with two- and four-barrel carburetors, my choice would be a Hemi or a big-block Magnum. They produced, respectively, 290 and 330 horsepower.

They are claiming that this is the most affordable charger available, however there is a valid reason why they should be able to charge more. Before the car ever comes together in one piece, it is a rough machine that needs a lot of work.

A 1969 Charger looking horrible made its way to look for a new home, hoping that not everybody is scared of useless metal sitting in a junkyard for God knows how long.
