As an old guy that used to drool over these cars when they were shiny and new, it makes me sad to see them in this condition now. I’m just glad that there’s still young guys out there saving a few, these days. There’s hope for America. Thanks.

Any guy that owns a 68-70 charger and drives the shit out of it definitely has my subscription 👌🏼

It's amazing how much these cars went up in value. I wish I had the '69 R/T my dad had. All stock, 440 magnum, 4 speed. A gorgeous car he should've kept!👍😎

Why cant my barn collapse to reveal a 69 charger

I came across this channel searching for Charger videos. I'm not mechanical at all-I just love the '68-'69 Chargers. This guy's videos are over an hour sometimes and I love them! I wish I lived next door to him just so I could learn and help him and get a ride every once in a while. Chris seems like such a cool guy. And he's such a good mechanic! I find these videos very relaxing. Thanks for sharing your passion, Chris.

It is such a relief to see and know that there ARE men from this generation who embrace, harness and continue on with the gearhead, classic car culture and that indeed without a doubt is what has contributed to them becoming men, real men.

People who own cars like this and let them rot into the ground don’t deserve to own cars like this!

Back in 1980, I bought a running and drivable 68 R/T 440 for $900! If I had known then what these cars were going to be worth I would have completely restored it!

Saved a Mopar from a collapsing barn. Right on man......

Triple black 4 speed 69 charger😍😍😍😍

i see a lot of rust repair on the net and a lot of cars are not worth the work but this one car is worth it every pain in the ass hr of it

"I'm not gonna tell you how much I paid on youtube." 1 minute later. "I paid 22k."

I drove one of if, I don`t remember when, but I was 18 years old at the time. I`m 61 now. Good memories! Cheers from Brazil! The best driving experience of my life!

Reminds me of when I found my Charger in an old shed. Fortunately, the floors, trunk floor, frame rails and sheet metal were all in good shape. Central Cal car, so no salt on the roads. You saw it in Clovis at a San Joaquin Valley Mopars meeting a couple of years ago.

Its crazy how they all rust through the trunk into the gas tank. Nice find!

Probably rust on the cyl walls. You need to squirt Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders several times and keep trying or you can just tear the engine apart and do it right. Nice find. Good luck with all that rust.

Yeah, I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I'm amazed at the going prices for rusty old plain jane cars from that era. Back in my high school days of the 70's the '57 Chevy's were all the rage. A teenage buddy of mine bought a 1969 Dodge Super Bee for $500, but it needed a new motor. I helped him put a replacement 440 under the hood. Man that thing had a monster carburetor, I think it was a Holly 1150 if I remember correctly. lol

I'm very impressed that you actually spilled the beans on the price of this car! Thank you!

22grand wow time does fly I remember seen a few of those back when I was like 5 years old

Hey man, hope to see more on this car someday keep it up

The minute I heard him playing Cyndi Lauper, I died laughing! Lol 😂

Enjoyed it just as much as the first time it came out, watching till the end

not a bad way to get into a full R/T build $$$ well spent!

It's Usually the Cars that You see for Years that You eventually end Up Getting, but Once I Missed out on a Running 69 Charger for $9000 a few years ago on Offerup.

The title of your video caught my eye. Good video and thanks for sharing!

Love it Chris thanks again

Glad you went to the trouble to reload this video, sorry you had to though. I like the videos of finding and road tripping these old cars home. I was laughing my ass off with you and Jed, you both are nuts of the best kind. Can't wait to see this Mamba put on the road. Good work!

Nice find! I laughed my Ass off when you busted him singing that 80's stuff.. That was hilarious!

I’m so glad I found your channel again. I remember watching this video a year ago.

Hey man well thanks for the video but I already seen this one before it got taken down

I honestly wouldn't have given $10000 for the car if it had a Hemi. The restoration cost would be insane.

Absolutely worth the money! Good find Chris.

Had fun watching this video, your mate with the sandals is funny!

Ted Nugent 8-trak! I had that (vinyl) album. Literally listened to it several thousand times!

Man, just found your channel and had to subscribe. (Only for the sheep, mind, but i still subbed lol!)

HEY BUDDY, Glad this is back up!

Great story behind it. Great car. Can't wait to watch you work your magic on it. Thanks, tons for sharing.

A shit ton of work but well worth a full restore

this car would cost 30-35K if not more, in sweden in the condition you found it. They are pricey as hell here.

Lol great stuff thank you for saving these amazing pieces of machinery.

Fun video to watch. Very nice car! Blow up sheep was hysterical.

Your vids are great to watch！Enjoy a lot from Taiwan.😁😄😊

And Richard Rollins just paid 38k for 3 Challengers, 2 RT and a 340 car in great shape.

man keep on keeping on ,like the videos

Beautiful car. It only needs two things, a whole lot of time and a whole lot of money. Hope you got it to bring that car back to life.

The clock sounds like it has the same guts as the Mercedes of the same era. if they won't rewind ,there is a little blob of low temp solder which is designed to melt as a fuse link. Fixing them is as simple as giving the two contacts a touch with the soldering iron to rejoin them.

There were two reasons we got rid of the cars back then. Gas and insurance. I had a 69 Coronet R/T I bought new and I sold in 1973 for those very reasons. I was 19 when I bought it. The Arab embargo and the horsepower to weight ratio from the insurance companies were killing us. I'm 69 and just finished a 70 Challenger R/T 6 pack ,4 speed, 354 Dana car all numbers matching. So some of us old guys are still out here helping the younger guys stay interested. Glad guys like Chris are around to carry on what some of us have been doing since the early 80's.

Just stumbled across ur channel, and realized ur a member of Ratty Mopar on Facebook! Love the channel

you say you don't know why someone would get rid of a Charger in a couple of years. I purchased a Charger R/T Hemi with 4:10''s and a TFoff the showroom in 69. It was my daily driver and night time money maker. Decided to drive cross country. Gas just went to $.32 a gallon and at 8 MPG I wasn't going far. Sold to a buddy who was going to pull the Hemi and put a 383 in it for his wife. Anyway went and bought a Datsun 510 made it from Boston and up Pikes Peak. down to Texas then home. Cost of this trip was around $70.00. That is seventy dollars. TODAY can't say how many times I've kicked myself. There were only 500 Chargers make in the configuration I had with a price of $5002. Great channel and keep em' alive.

I do believe that the song by Lynyrd Skynyrd call me the breeze was written about 1969 Doge charger (whiskey runner) Mr Breeze.

GREAT video!!! LOVE mopars...first off great comment about the radio in the beginning of the vid..and your friend had a good song playing..80's rocked my friend!! Keep us updated on the triple black 440..I like what you did on your trip home with the camera great vid.what was Jeds youtube channel? Also jealous with all the mopar you got.lol

I can't believe it - $22,000 was paid for this car when I purchased a number matching 440 Charger R/T SE with no rust and only 58,000 miles for $20,000... It's a loss of words for what was paid for the car in this video with holes in the floor boards, broken glass and a rotted interior.

All those Chargers are awesome. I love that red Hemi, that was truly awesome.

Yep subbed. Cant believe i hadnt found ya sooner

We need more super restoration guys like you here in Texas! I have a 69 Charger that needs your expertise and TLC

I know that type of old man. "No, I'm not selling it, I'm going to pull it up to the barn here soon and restore it" I'm like, how long has it been sitting here? He says 40 years. And I ask him, how old are you? He goes, 82. I'm like, yeah, grandpa, SURE you are. Lol

The triple black Charger is like a Charger aficionados dream come true. What an amazing find!

Ok let me say it again, My dream car

Had a 70 Roadrunner thx to my dad buying it in 1972 because it still had 30,000 miles of bumper to bumper warranty left that was covered to 50,000 miles ... vs a brand new anything, cuz warranty dropped to ONLY 20,000 miles in 1971..( check it out) could not believe my eyes when my dad got me to come along to pick up this surprise purchase when i was 18 !!!!! The young man he bought it from for $2450 Canadian had repainted it from plum crazy purple, to a gorgeous deep red burgandy , put a black vinyl roof on it and it had white interior!!! INFREEKINCREDIBLE!!! Nice American mags and fat Dunlops.... 383 Magnum automatic. My mom drove it regularily too, and often hurried thru town unintentionally sqealing the tires with the back end danglin' out lol, & eventually bought it for me to cover many hours i worked for her not expecting any pay. She had 3 businesses. Just wanted to say i envy this young man and wish him every possible success and happiness in life. That R/T Charger ....you have the most beautiful iconic muscle car ever conceived 68, 69 & 70....& it fully deserves to find the person that will restore it to its original GLORY!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE...!!!!!!! What a Humfreekindinger that baby would be, shining in the sun ...cooling down in the shade ..."black cars look better in the shade" / Gino Vinelli. Start it up, turn it up... let me take you for a ride you will never forget. Imagine....I am. Thank you very much! Markus ! 😁

Thirty years ago I almost bought a rusty green '69 with a 318 for $500. It sat in front of this guy's house for sale for what seemed forever. We struck a deal that I would pay him about $50 or so a week to meet his full asking price (I was a high school kid). I went there a week later to make the first payment and the guy had sold it out from under me. In '93 I looked at a black '69 383 car in decent shape, I think he was asking $2800 or so. I passed because he had a bottle of Bar's Leak under the hood and I figured maybe the radiator was bad. If only I could go back in time.

Good luck on the black r/t ✌🏼beautiful

I had a 1970 plain jane 318/auto Charger, vin# ended in 0003 meaning the care was #3 off the line. Bad breaks and other issues aside from the fact I was moving across the country, sold the car to a junk yard for $75.00...LOL (I have to laugh at myself otherwise I'd be crying again)...

the under-dash reverb is AWESOME

Back around 1989 my cousin had a nice 1980 R/t charger 440 with 4 speed and postive trac

dude, love the charger theme. I worked at Fenton, Mo. B body plant 69'-70' right before US Army draft during Viet Nam. My job was breaking-off zerk fitting on front end [ so the customer could not diy lubejob,] plus install chrome exhaust tips on 440 cars. ''No I can't get you a roadrunner horn for your 55' chevy !''

Great to see it saved👍

you can't beat the sound of a v8 a true old school v8

Thanks for being honest. Ur transparency definitely builds ur credibility.

Wow must say i dont miss the Indiana rust! Having been raised in Muncie I've seen some horrifying rust on old muscle. Moved 2 states away to Tennessee and everything is rock solid for the most part.

I'm so happy those guys revived this long-rotting Charger. The '69 R/T is my dream car, and they are so valuable these days.

All I can say is thank God for hillbillies, cable, & Barrett Jackson!!!!

I really like the 68 better than the 70. That is some great music.

You stop the Scott's speed shop.. another one of my favorite KZfaqrs

Sweet Sweet Sweet ride beautiful Charger

I'm 62 years old. As a junior in high school in 1975 I bought a 69 Charger 383 magnum, auto on the floor, center console, bucket seats. White with a green vinyl top. It had around 54,000 miles when I bought it. I paid $1,200 for it. I owned it for 2 years and sold it for $1,000. It was a solid car in great shape when I sold it. If only............

Awesome find i love the 69 chargers for one reason the general lee and it's just one hell of a power house

My dream car is a general lee this is amazing i love these cars by far the best looking amrican muscle

have you been uploading progress on this restoration? Only just finding this now

What a Great Barn Find. I wish I could have this car or one like it. I'd love to see this car all Redone Nd Restored

One day I’ll have one of these beauties.

Nice job on your find I love those cars

Their is a guy in town has what I think is a 68 Camaro under a tarp. people have been trying for years to buy it but the guy and his wife say its their sons car and their waiting for him to come home from the war. From all the checking around their son died over seas in one of the Korean war. He got the car and a week after he got it he went to war. The car has been sitting in the same place for all these years. if the tarp gets tore up he gets a new one and keep replacing it.

Too funny! Cyndi Lauper ! Apparently guys just yana have fun too! Priceless

I passed my opportunity to buy me a decent well like new condition a 68 Charger 318 auto, really solid car for only $5000.00 back in 1999. But that was my money for the down payment for my 1st home. So I bought the house.

Ted Nugent in the 8-Track. Classic!

i love those old school aluminum slot rims

Cool this is back on ..sorry I thought that 68 was the Smurf..be cool be safe !!

Lol! I have a running, driving 70 V-code Roadrunner and I bought a nice Weiand P3690982 6bbl intake to play with vs the factory dual plane 6bbl. Since Jed uses that intake, I spoke with him about it. That's too funny you (and now everyone) busted him rockin' out to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" LOLZZZ

That will be a BAD-ASS CAR when it's fixed. I still have my 71 Charger ( base model ) I bought back in 82 for $300.00

Classic! I can't ever forget this one ! Laughing my ass off! But hey, I'm the same way! Jammin to 80's jams!

I sold my XS 440 triple black. Auto 8 3/4 but I put a Dana 60 in it. 29g. nasty divorce I'm glad you're telling the prices that means a lot for ppl to get the idea

what was the intro song for the triple black charger?

These are timeless beauties .....respect them 😩😩😩

This came in as a recommended vid.. watched and liked. Cool car. Aside from matching numbers and what the car actually is.. the demand is also high with all the Fast and furious movies out there over the years.. these 68-70 chargers are fetching very high dollar amounts. 22K for a rusted R/T is really a good deal..

My daughters friends Dad has a early 70"s model mustang fastback with that Cleveland Engine...all original and it runs...........when I went to her house to pick her up after a sleep over, It was in the winter and there was about six inches of snow on the ground............as I left I look in the field where the grass is two feet tall and there in the weeds is that Mustang Fastback...Mach 1 or something.......I went back to the house to ask him about it and he said he bought it ten years ago and it still drives and he plans on restoring it............that was about seven years ago and that car still sets in that field rotting away.

Such a rare car! You had better store it securely !

this car is so cool especially the fact it’s from where i’m from

SOUNDS AWESOME

It must have been the thing to do in 1980. Buy a '60's muscle car, put it in a barn somewhere, and then forget that you ever owned it. So that nearly every week 40 years later, someone would walk into a barn and find a forgotten muscle car. These things are all over the place now, just walk in any barn!

wow good video, specially min 19 19 lol what a surprise
