1970 Hemi Challenger Shed Find and Rescue!

Рет қаралды 24,448

Күн бұрын

This 1970 Hemi Challenger has been sitting in this exact shed since 2011 when the owner won the Lottery. Before that it had been sitting for a few decades without an engine or such outside of Memphis in a barn. A Barn Find of a rare quality, it is a legit 1970 Hemi Challenger, Hemi Orange with a tan interior. Don't see many like that. It has been bought now and will be restored by Jesse and his Dad!
For sitting in a barn and sitting in a shed, it is pretty solid, especially being below where they use salt.

That Challenger is in good hands now, Jesse is a really good friend of mine and he will have that Challenger over restored in no time haha. It does honestly make me sick how a man would amass such a collection and do nothing with them other blow them completely apart and just let it all sit like that

@Auto Archaeology that's true, but he shouldn't have ever tore the stuff apart, he created a nightmare for Billy, Dan, and even Jesse

@@ScottsSpeedShop I agree! I've seen it time and time again. Don't pull your cars apart until you are ready to restore them. You're not saving somebody some time or money, you're giving them a nightmare.

i recued a 440 67 charger 2 years ago that was completely blown apart down to even the radio was dissasembled!,been sitting in same shed since 1970,and has been an absolute nightmare to put back together as nothing was labled,its 98% restored as of now

The guy who hosts a Hagerty show with the sweet woody van has great advice,don't buy another car or project until you're done restoring the first one! Makes sense to me after seeing poor cars blown apart in bits scattered to the 4 points of the compass then left to rot and never to get put back together properly again, just like Humpty Dumpty! Hopefully they'll find all the right parts. Smh. Good luck to them!

Here in Australia, I know of a guy who has a extremely rare Australian Chrysler by Chrysler CH Hardtop with factory 360 & rare P/S & D /S remote mirrors, rare landau factory vinyl roof. He stacked in 1983 & parked it up in his barn. He has collect all NOS parts for it but wants to do it up like the General Lee. I have been trying for 25 years to acquire it but to no avail. Those who are in Australia and love Mopar's they know how extremely rare 360 Chrysler By Chrysler CH Hardtop are. Worth Goggle it. Great Video Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

@@AutoArchaeology I am trying, rescued plenty of Mopar's since 1990 but this one not without trying. The last Chrysler By Chrysler CH Hardtop with a 360 V8 I got, it took me 15 years of hounding the original owner who happened to be a doctor. I would go in for a check up & end up chatting about the CH twice a year. Flipped it bought it at the wrong time. Now I have 1st bids on the following cars. 1970 Challenger R/T 440 4 speed numbers matching. 1968 Pontiac Bonneville 2 Door Hardtop with a 428 HP numbers matching motor in it. 1970 AMC Rebel Machine numbers matching. No one selling at the moment. Keep you posted Cheers Louis 👍

Local Mopar guy bought his dream car after hitting a nice lottery. Had some funny stories about going to redeem it. Several people had made claims they had the number, but had some crazy excuse for not having it with them- hoping they would just hand over a check, They were glad to see him show up.

You can see the engine stamp pad on the bottom of block just above oil pan look's like someone took paint off 5:50. So block is a 1968 or newer yr even if it's cast 1966. Would like to see if it has #'s on pad if u go back anytime. (EV2 is Hemi orange) the (R4 Tor-red is as stated like a (To)mato orange (red) color) can't mistake the differance by seeing them

One thing that you do which bothers me is showing the VIN tag on the dash. A friend of mine had someone video a car he had and some unscrupulous person used the posted video to request a duplicate title at a different address and stole the car and immediately sold it. It was recovered and the crook was caught but why make it easier for an unscrupulous thief to steal someone’s car?
