I found one locally, several years ago. Looked deserted, but I left a note at the location, with contact info. I never heard back on it, so I went to take another look, but it was gone, and the yard was cleaned up...

What is on the second fender tag?

Lynch Road MI Production - From some of the research I did I was told these where just inspection marks on the second tag - If anyone knows more ?

If I don’t get the car , the original owners will - We all went to look at it last week when I snapped these pictures - My co worker parents owned the car and it was sold to the current owner back in the 90s for $2,500

Didn’t even realize my co worker parents had owned the car because he didn’t start working for me until about 2005 and never mentioned until he saw my 71 BEE one day

I got to know the current owner through car shows over the years because he was always asking about my car also

The car hasn’t moved in probably 20 years or longer , and if you saw what the garage looked like in those pictures , Anyways I was talking to him this past fall about getting it running and putting in a new gas tank as he wasn’t very mechanically inclined and asking all types of questions , so I asked if I could help him work on it

He passed away in December - God Bless Him

His brother took over the estate and ownership of the car - He lives in Florida , so a mutual friend showed us the car last week as my co worker parents have always been interested in buying back the car

They also haven’t seen the car in many moons and where pretty discouraged from what they saw
At first


Obviously it was in much better shape when they sold it - However seeing their emotions , I was amazed watching them crawl around that car when it was literally below zero here in WI for about an hour was pretty cool , and all the stories

I am leaving them decide on what they want to do , but told them I am very interested if they don’t want it

It’s pretty interesting talking to them on what they thought it was worth , versus what they want to do with it , both being in there 70s and having no realization on any type of restoration and money on what they think it takes to restore

However money isn’t an issue for them both , own hundreds of acres and been farmers all there lives in WI and now pretty much retired

Part of the long story

From what I could tell crawling around - Floor Boards , Trunk , Frame , Doors , Front Fenders look really solid , definetly not a rust bucket for a WI car

Quarters have some rust

Non numbers 440 installed in car - Vinyl top trim is missing - A/C removed

So much junk in the garage , don’t know what’s all there yet

I beg to differ, hidden headlights were always a feature and a staple on Chargers, removing them from the standard equipment list was a mistake, they should have remained standard equipment. I installed them in my 73 Charger as well.

A green interior on a EV 2 exterior ? That seems to be an unusual combination.

 

[nstyle73]

? Isnt GY Gold?

 

[Skytrooper]

Is it beige ? It looks green in the photos. What is your question nstyle73 ? It seems odd to me to have green or beige interior with a hemi orange exterior
