Vehicle Detail
Please note: Because of the age and antique status of this car, it is exempt from any import/export restrictions. It can be freely shipped and titled anywhere in the U.S. 1967 Dodge Charger. Only 32,000 miles ORIGINAL. Hidden in storage since 1975. Discovered 3 weeks ago. Museum quality. Looking at this car feels like stepping back in time. It is so near perfect. It's unbelievable to look at this car while your mind tries to process that it has never been restored. Log book kept by 90 year old original owner details every single service since brand new! Closely examining the dates and mileages in the log book, it would suggest that the car was only summer driven. Although it's been stored for a mighty long time (specifically, 41 years), it's been recorded that the car was occasionally started. Each time it was ran for a little bit, then the fuel system drained. The car never left it's own garage. In personally speaking with members of the estate, it was indicated to me that the last time this car ran was between 3 and 4 years ago. Currently, the car's tank is dry and the fuel lines disconnected. This coincides perfectly with the history recorded in the log book. Car was kept under bed-sheets, secretly locked away in a single garage with the windows covered. Family members and neighbours have individually told me the level of fastidiousness of the original owner. From what I can ascertain, this was a lady profoundly tidy, organized, and protective of her belongings. I cannot imagine a higher quality find. Inside out, top to bottom, this car is amazing. The interior is absolutely flawless. The seats have been covered since new, and even the carpets! I don't mean with just floormats. The sillplates were removed, and plastic sheets placed over the carpet, then floormats placed on top. It's truly incredible. In the trunk, I found the original jack. Nothing bizarre about that, except... All of the parts have been wrapped in cloth, then tied in string with a bow! I'm not even kidding. I've only taken a peek, and haven't opened anything. It's so remarkable. There is no rust whatsoever, and not even any indication of the beginning formation of any. Matter of fact, the undercarriage retains all it's original paint and markings. These kind of cars are the benchmark. I do not think this car has seen anything but dry pavement on the nicest days. I've counted 8 chips in the paint of the entire car, including the very bottom edges. That's it. Beyond the fine coat of dust, you can see that there is zero loss of lustre in the original paint. To preserve the originality and integrity of this find, I've photo-documented everything. Also, I have not touched a thing. All the original dust remains intact, and nothing kept wrapped has been opened. I have not connected the battery cables, started the car, or even placed the key into the ignition. I believe that should be an occasion left to the new owner's enjoyment. My realtor initially discovered this car and made a deal but, after the initial misinformation that is was a 318 car, discovering it's actually a 383, and then having it sink into my mind what a momentus find this was... I had to pull out my chequebook. Warranting my need to own this car was the massive amount of historic information and provenance that accompanied this find. This car is very heavily documented from the original showroom brochure forward, nearly a half century. I look at the car in my garage now, and realize that I am just not prepared to sit on this investment for the upcoming decades. I've enjoyed the old car hobby since my youth, seen other low mileage original cars that take 1st place in survivor category judging, and can assure you... nothing I've seen under the mid 5-digits comes close to comparison. This is truly spectacular. I can go on but, I think you get the point. I don't think I have to say anything about what a rare or remarkable find this is. The quickest rising segment of the car hobby is survivor cars. I've minimalized my fingerprint upon the originality of this find to an absolute minimum by not disturbing a thing, even the dust. This is a collector piece for an experienced and discerning Mopar investor/collector. With that said, here's your opportunity...... I welcome any interested parties to come view the car in person, or send a qualified 3rd party for verification/validation. I've also opted for an extended, 10-day auction to accommodate anyone wishing to view in person. Please view my feedback. We've sold a half-dozen cars to happy buyers. Disregard the 1 negative feedback. That was from a zero-feedback new Ebayer that never sent deposit, was given every opportunity, but breached in every regard. Still, he felt it necessary to damage my perfect rating. I had to re-run the auction to sell the car. Incidentally, the new buyer left an excellent feedback. Because of that experience, I ask that anyone that would like to bid, who is new to Ebay, or has more than 2 negative feedback, please contact me; otherwise, I will cancel their bid. I welcome any inquiries and questions. If you wish to speak over the phone, I welcome your call. Please write and we will make arrangements.

When I checked the pressure, they were all perfectly even, and equal at 15psi. That was intriguing to me. I looked closer. The spare tire is unused, and the rim is without the slightest mark or scuff in it's black paint. I don't think it's ever left it's original location. That led me to wondering, so I did a quick visual examination of the rims on the car. None show sign of ever being on a tire machine. Do the tires still contain the original factory air(?) It would be fairly amazing, and I suppose there's really no absolute way to tell, but something interesting I thought I'd share.
