This auction is for my 1970 Charger 500 SE - 1 of 2887 built and 1 of 963 painter Cream - Y3. I purchased it in 1999, fully intending to restore it, I had barely gotten started when I started having some health problems. Unfortunately, those4 problems also caused financial issues. As much as I hated doing it, I started parting it out just to get by. I am selling now that the buyer will restore it. If not, there are still many usable parts or parts for resale. What makes this Charger, although not complete is that it is basically a matching numbers car. I was able to find serial numbers on the dashboard VIN plate, the fender plate, the door jam sticker, the radiator support, the trunk stamp under the weather stripping, and also on the engine. What is not original are a 4 barrel, air cleaner, manifold and heads. He had also pit a set of Crager mags on the front, so there are only original hubcaps and they are included. The hubcaps I put on I believe are 1638. The drivers side fender must have been dined as it paint does not match. In addition to the matching numbers, I also have and almost complete window sticker, 2 build sheets, the drivers manual and the original warranty card. I bought the car from the second owner, but he new the original purchaser. The car had not been started for quite a while before I bought it and I have not started it either. The car does have some issues. I parted out basically most of the interior, the front bumper, grill and valance, the radiator, the rear bumper, tail lights and finish panel. Having been parked outside, there is some rust. The rear frame rails, the torsion bar cross member, the front floor pans, the trunk panels, the lower rear quarter panels and the rear valance will need to be replaced or repaired. The fenders are OK with the exception of the usual spot behind the Penstar emblem, just a bit on the lower edge of the doors and rocker panels. underside of the hood and the lip of the trunk and under the vinyl top, This is about average for a northern car. The wiring harness will need to be repaired as the previous owner had added two speakers under the dash and a trailer hitch. The car has straight sides and does include all the chrome (very minor swirling) and minor pitting on the quarter windows and mirror. In addition, the glass is very good with only minor scratching on the back window and on the drivers window from rolling it up and down. Included will be a number of original parts: The original air cleaner (do not have the carb, manifold etc) Fan, spacer and pulley hood support/latch, fender supports and splash shields the horns headlight buckets, trim and hardware and lights (not T3) wash bottle (not the best condition)battery box and strap gas cap and trim ring (some pitting) front turn signals/parking lights side marker lights (one red lens missing and some pitting) 2 original deep dish hub caps spare tire interior trim heater control interior door handles and window cranks gas and brake pedals with custom trim dome light dash speedometer and instrument cluster - no clock (unfortunately I broke one of the pins on the module. It is but I don't know if it can be repaired). All switches (headlights, windshield wipers etc.) are still in the car. I even have a 1970 and 1978 Michigan license plates that I will throw in. Although I do have offers locally, they would just use the Charger for parts. Considering the matching number and documentation, I would hope that the new owner would restore it and give to it what I couldn't.
