One of my pet peeves when taking on a project is I prefer to take the car apart myself, as it always seems like things go back together more easily if you pull them off instead of inheriting a plethora of loose items removed by someone else.  But the seller of this 1969 Dodge Charger here on eBay assures us that not only has he already invested over 150 hours in the teardown process but that all the parts have been meticulously tagged and labeled, so hopefully the next owner won’t end up with any mysterious pieces leftover once the reassembly begins.  If you’re ready to take over, the B-Body is located in Oklahoma City with the no-reserve auction currently resting at $22,100.

We get a mixture of photos provided, some showing the Charger as it was when the seller took the acquisition and others revealing how it is now.  He originally planned to restore it himself, but after taking much of the car apart discovered that the project would require more time and cash than he had available right now, so the decision was made to get the Dodge into a garage somewhere where it would receive the energy needed to get back on the road.

I appreciate the owner not sugarcoating the level of corrosion the car is showing on the back side, using the word severe to describe the amount of rust present in both the inside and outside of each quarter panel, with the valance and taillight panel also in need of replacement.  The front torsion cross member has rusted to the point that it’s broken away from the frame, which is causing the car’s crooked stance.

Dodge offered two versions of the 383 for their Charger in ’69, one with a 2-barrel on top making 290 HP or you could go for the 4-barrel variant and get an additional 40 horses.  This car is equipped with the latter, or maybe I should say was because the motor’s now been removed and is sitting on a pallet, but the engine is stated as the numbers-matching block although no word on if it was running before being taken out.  We get a good shot of the compartment post-removal, with things in the bay looking better than I was expecting.

Here’s a picture of the interior from when the seller got the car, and while the inside doesn’t exactly look pristine I’ve seen far worse plus it does appear mostly complete, with an aftermarket Stereo but it also has factory A/C so that’s a positive.  But now the car is crammed full of components, and as a bonus, there’s also a 5-trumpet musical air horn included in case you’ve always wanted to drive around proclaiming your admiration for the southern heritage.  Is this a project you’d have any interest in taking over?
