1969 Charger R/T Garage Find First Wash in 30 Years!

That's right, the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T garage find from last week made it back to the new owners body shop and I was there to document the washing of the car. It was the first time the Charger was washed in at least 30 years!

G'day Ryan, Wow so good getting these All American & what made America great 1969 Charger R/T back on the road. Your channel rebuilding a 69 & Nick Panaritis up on Canada, Nick's Garage is rebuilding a 1970 R/T Charger. Chargers everywhere even my buddy here in Australia will debut his 1971 VH Valiant Charger R/T E37 770 next month at thr biggest Mopar Show in the Southern Hemisphere Chrysler's On The Murray expecting 1,000 Mopar's. Cheers Louis Kats 👍

Great update. Hopefully we can see the full resto 👍🏻

[@deancameron6370]

Hi from NZ,love your channel, I have a third generation charger

[@AutoArchaeology]

Very cool! Those are great cars.

[@huck01955]

Start putting the challenger back together and enjoy it

[@Pedroisanickname]

I've never seen so much KZbin drama over power washing a car😅

[@magnumfour88]

Hey Ryan, that takes me back to when we would all go to the "QUARTER" car wash. Back when it only cost a quarter. A tip of the old fedora to you.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Oh yes, I remember those days!

[@magnumfour88]

You ever get to the Surprise/Phoenix area look me up. Free room awaits. Just an autographed copy of your book will do.@@AutoArchaeology

[@AutoArchaeology]

Drop me a DM, I can add you to my travel map for a future follow up.

[@magnumfour88]

@@AutoArchaeology Don't you mean a PM? I have no idea what a DM is.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Direct Message, or email me. It's all in the description.

[@josephsokola6885]

We want updates on both cars please.. Many Thanks

[@AutoArchaeology]

Nothing new on the impala, and there isn't any plans for it.

[@theariesexperiment4642]

That barn dusty is the equivalent of what whiskey makers call "the angels share". Which is a superstition belief that the whiskey loses a few ounces during aging process. The barn dust is that "angels share" floating around and searching for something special to clinge to. Thats what i like to think anyway.

[@AutoArchaeology]

I have heard that. Cool

[@user-hi2ev7ug4l]

Yup great Charger content....and definitely work on green car....thanks

[@AutoArchaeology]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Wyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch]

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear the new owner is going to dig it out and drive it instead of putting it right into resto. He's got will, that thing is gonna be a basket case. Makes for a great long-term passion project. Oh, and that was a neat S15, I understand this ain't a JDM channel but those are rare (and not exactly legal) stateside...

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yeah, I forgot I left that in there. I didn't have a ton of info on it.

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Or the Dukes of Hazzard car as we know it here in UK 🇬🇧 Great car❤

[@brian56]

Love the cars,hate when they're turned into them.

[@VerifiedVIPMember]

Nothing like clean rot..

[@garygross6849]

Let's see more of the green car

[@MaxOZAU8]

I don't mean to be rude, but it would have taken longer to clean the workshop up after cleaning the Charger. Was the weather bad outside during the wash?

[@0004612]

It’s winter

[@AutoArchaeology]

We didn't want the car turning into a block of ice. It was sunny, but below freezing out.

[@MaxOZAU8]

@@AutoArchaeology Understandable! 👍

[@Jerms995]

S15 Silva! I never see those out and about.

[@bradschroeder809]

Is the Charger F8 green or F5 green? Mitch sold the ‘71 Challenger R/T you featured a few weeks ago, over the weekend. I hope the new owner intends to restore it, not strip it for parts. There wasn’t a piece of metal on that car not rotted from the previous owner leaving it sit outside for 35 years, but maybe the new owner is up for a big job involving a whole catalog worth of AMD parts! That ‘71 reminded me of the black V code Mr Norms Challenger that sat in a driveway in rolling meadows for ages before the owner (or his estate?) finally let it go. I saw the car displayed at the CMC spring show in 2011, and have never heard a peep as to what happened to it since then, rusty or not, if there was ever a car worthy of a high dollar restoration that was it!

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yeah, it will take a while, but it is worth restoring.

[@claycampbell7901]

Hope your friend did not pay the 'Detailers" That wash a driveway wash !!
