The second generation of the Dodge Charger (1968-70) saw a huge uptick in demand – both when they were new and now more than 50 years later. The R/T was the muscular version of the automobile and came with a 440 cubic inch V8 as standard equipment. More than 9,500 of the R/Ts were built in 1970, including this roller which is without its engine or 4-speed manual transmission. From Old Town, Florida, this rusty project car is available here on eBay where the bidding stands at $7,800.

After two hugely successful years in a row, Charger demand dropped to “only” 46,000 copies in 1970. This R/T may have been one of 1,400-1,500 when new given that the seller says it once had a 4-speed shifter. If we knew all the options this car had when assembled, it may be rarer than that, but the cowl tag is MIA, so we don’t know. But many of the reasons that buyers couldn’t get enough of the 1968s and 1969s were still there, like the hidden highlights and tunnel back rear roof layout. The latter would go away with the redesign that arrived in 1971.

There is ample rust on this Dodge, at least as far as the floorboards and trunk pan are concerned. We gather the car has been sitting for years and we assume the drivetrain was harvested for use elsewhere because it was better than the rest of the machine. The interior has fared well, too, and everything will need attention, including the headliner which is falling down.

We’re told that extra parts will come in the sale, and it would be nice to know what they are. Vital parts are always worth more than lightbulbs. And, the wheels seen in the photos will not be included, so we assume the seller will replace them with steel wheels and old tires so the vehicle can be loaded onto and off of a trailer. If you’ve been looking for one of these desirable Chargers to restore, is this one you’d attempt? You can build it any way you want since there is no information about how it was assembled other than a VIN.
