Back in 1989 I bought a 69 RT/SE 440 auto, running and driving, for $1500. It was rescued from Pick'N'Pull in Sacramento. I also bought a 70 GTO, 400 4 speed for $1500. Ah! Those were the days!

That 68 Charger looks badass Olivia, the 2nd gen Chargers (from 68-70) will always be my favorite Chargers.

The orange one looks like "General Lee" get that one, from Dukes of Hazard!

Change that 69 grille back to a full straight 68 grille.

Great video.  Hearing the stories of each car was very interesting.  Looking forward to your progress.  I also have a 68 Charger and did a Gen3 Hemi + 5 speed auto into it.

Wow, this tops my friend who has like 5 of these. Most were 68s, i believe 1 69. This guy is a great collector. He appreciates the cars and the history, and doesnt pass up the ones that are weathered or flawed. And he drives them!

Badass! You aren't kidding on finding 440's. I have one for my 66 Satellite, and since I bought it, I've only seen a handful, and they're always $1500 and up. Also, any 67 and later 727 will work, but if it came from the motorhome, it'll have the wrong tailshaft on it. (It won't have a slip yoke). I'm looking forward to see which direction this car goes!

Edgar is a cool dude. Just sold him a bunch of Charger parts not that long ago. And I pretty much never sell Charger parts.

I'm a old scriber I watch the numbers go up every week because everyone wants to take their car to the strip even if it's just a scocker van and they put a bigger exhaust.it was always a dream for me to break 9 but here I am at 83 still watching someone else living my dream.keep up the videos

I LOVE how this guy has a foreign accent (can't tell if it's Spanish or Italian) he has MOPAR MUSCLE CARS and an AMERICAN flag hat!!!!
I'll bet he's MORE PATRIOTIC than most Americans.

This channel keeps on getting better and better with every upload! 🏁

What an awesome bloke with an amazing collection! The time spent talking to him in this video is awesome!

Nice...this guy is a Charger guy!!! I was him back in the day - loved them before they were popular.... I had 5 68s over the years, never paid more than $500 for any of them, and all big block cars. I found wrecked ones and stripped all their parts- collecting enough parts to build 4or more... Oh those were the good ol days, the 80s and early 90s!!! Now, im just hoping to get one more before I die!!!😊

That's a Chris Birdsong special if I ever saw one!😂

Another nifty note the 68-69 charger were designed from a coca cola bottle that tipped over on the designers drawing  table as the story has been told....if you can get an old coke bottle (glass) stand 20-30 feet away with the bottle on it sine in your hand the body contour is the bottle.......try it out 😉

Definitely got to put that PISTOL GRIP in there!!! What a Awesome car! Wow!

Cool Car!! Aluminum slotted would look cool on that bad boy!! Your doors are from a 69 the lock buttons were moved foreword that year due to complaints the 68 were hard to reach seated in the front. Can’t wait to see the build.

"Year One" can supply you with all the Original Mopar parts. I think they're in GA.

Wow this guy being interviewed is awesome....👍

Compared to most Chargers people are buying that's in great shape! Check out the kinda Mopars Birdsong buys, lol.
