@@toyoscio This is not business, just fraud. In Norway buyers can claim their money back or repair it and let the seller pay the bill if they are lying about what they sell. Only way to sell junk and get away with it, is to sell it as a full restoration project. This include private sellers as well. Odd they don't have these laws in Usa as they seem to sue people for just about anything.

It’ll need rocker panels, quarter panels and trunk floor extensions. I remember cars In Michigan during the 1970s where they would rust away within the first 5 years no matter how much you washed and waxed them. The body would rot long before the engine would fail. Some present day Mopar restorations are done to perfection, in reality the build quality of the original Mopars was horrendous.

Yeah I have had them all here in Michigan, big block and small block six pack cars Hemi car Etc. Being a Michigan person all my life I have run into so so many issues with vehicles. In reality growing up here in the 1970s taught me all the things that is in this video. Very few things will ever get past me when I go look at a car. The one I have now gorgeous as a Michigan car. If you want to obtain a better body vehicle, seek out the former drag cars that spent their entire life at the strip. Many of them have been crashed and had doors and fenders and front Clips replaced, so you have to look for those things also, but overall you will get a more solid vehicle by far because the thing wasn't being driven in the salt or being parked out beside a barn for 25 years. My father always said let the buyer beware... True and honest words. Look very carefully before you plunk down purchase money

I see a lot of different types of comments on many sites concerning these cars. I grew up in the 70s and I have had a bunch of them six pack cars Hemi cars whatever. B bodies E bodies and A body's. Everyone looking for ANY CAR from this era must remember number 1 thing . They are 5 decades old & very few examples will not have some issues . Very few . This hobby is expensive & you're knowledge must be extensive!!! Learn before you burn . Get as much education on stuff as you can before you even think about buying. It is a lot of work, and a whole lot of headache to take a rat vehicle, and restore or even just drive it as it is! Set your goals on what you want. If you want a very nice ride then you're going to need a very nice fat wallet. Information is your best armament oh, and it will save you a hell of a lot of money and headache before you buy. Great video! Very well-presented, and as I have said growing up during this era and living in Michigan, I have learned it all the hard way.

Well a car worth 8.000$ dressed up for 3.000$, sold for 40.000$, had to be fixed for 20.000$. I'd rather buy a rusted Rat than a "restored" one. And BTW a story from me and a yerk: I once wanted to buy a "original car ,no rust, not welded, 2nd owner car ,accident free, regular dealer service, low mileage". I called the guy we talked , my friend took me there and this guy said we had to go to the garage he parked it. Well 1/2 hour later at the garage ,there was a second guy waiting to purchase the car too. We get in this dark Parkhouse where the Dusted car sat. The other guy cheked it asked questions blabla... I got to check the car while these two were negotiated after I was done I asked him my question: Why is the passenger door different colored with different trim and not opening/shuting correct? Why is there a Gigant dent in the Passenger Rocker? It's accident free. Why are there rust holes in the Floor? It's rust free. Why is the Rearvailence welded? It has not been welded. Why is there a 4th owner in the Service sheet's? It's 2nd owner. Why are there servier more miles in the paper work than on the odometer? It's low mileage Why are there not matching Seats? should have bucket seats in the front matching the Rear Seat not some cloth ones in different color and material. I told him he is a Scum and what a lier he was, he wants to discus it but I left, The other guy aint as knolwedged as I bougth this turd for 1.000 and you could see on his face he apparently wasn't glad buying it after I revealed it's condition. The callout were 2.500 for it at the beginn I would 've paid 750 if he wouldn't lie. BTW. The car got back on sale from this other guy some months later with painted door and with all the other mangles I revealed.

Two main companies on the east coast that did rust proofing back in the day were Z bart and Rusty Jones. I worked for a company out of Harrisburg, PA that used carnauba wax with a fluorescent dye formula to prevent rust in new cars. They sold the dealer I worked for a black light and the spray gun with attachments. No holes were drilled. the stuff was sprayed into the body weap holes until you saw the green dye show up around the points where water would come in. The warranty was useless because the company went belly up in about 5 years. They paid me $6.50 an hour and the cans of wax cost the dealership $20 a can. They charged the customer $300 for the service. A big car took 2 cans and a truck was suppose to take 3 cans. The dang shady dealership I worked for cut both of those down and still charged the $300. They are no longer in business either.

Hi Chris 😎 . i've been a mopar nut since age 5 starting with the General Lee and that a whole other fan obsession and then just exploded from there. My first car at age 18 : 1965 dodge dart 4 door. Then at one point bought a used and abused 74 duster then sold thatband had a 1976 plymouth volare premier 2 door. For a few years then my final vehicles that i have owned for the past 10 years 1965 dodge 2 door post car " project" 1982 dodge d150 truck . i a big fan of pretty much all charger body styles but 68-70 are my favorites. I live here a couple miles south of branson mo. My buddy and his wife run dixie outfitters in branson and own 2 General Lee's . I've wanted to own a charger to build either a movie blade car or the General Lee i can come up with the parts : motor , suspension ect but the chasie is another issue . i know of a mopar guy about 45 miles northwest of me that is obsessed with B-bodies and B-body parts . he elped build the General for my buddy a dixie outfitters. I also follow fellow friend Jed over at scotts speed shop and Uncle tonys garage and Nicks garage. I like your videos especially this one for when buying muscle or project mopar cars🤘. Well i babbled on long enough. Take care stay safe Chris. Let me know if you ever pass through the branson area in the future

In Michigan there are two kinds of cars.. The ones that were stored away in Garages in the Winter.. and the ones that rusted away and went to the scrap yard.. I bought a Z-28 Camaro in 1979 . I did drive it two Winters.. some in MI some in Colorado and some in FL & LA.. I had it Ziebarted.. I washed it a lot .. I can't really see any rust on it.. but I cut the wheel wells out to put wider ties on it to win the Spector drags at a local circle track ..

Great video for those on a Charger quest, Chris! Most complete rollers are gonna cost a pretty penny, driving cars even more! The repair parts are out there if you have the skills yourself or deep pockets. It can be done. Looking at trying to get a second body myself. Thinking about a Daytona clone! Great vid and advice for a novice!

Ive bought a few turdsters back in the 20th century. I knew better. A well polished turd can obscure your vision especially when its springtime and the turd has been freshly done and it looks pretty slick and the T/A's on 5 spoke chrome big and littles give it a perfect stance. I did get my revenge 10 years later.sold the grandson of the guy that sold me my 67 RS/SS super pooper a nightmare of his own to bring home and park for months at a time as it rapidly melted roofing tar and pools of rusty water settled in the saran wrap and pizza box floorpans.give me bondo and a couple rolls of foil and ill make you a showstopper for about 2 months.

You have a new subscriber! GREAT video. Been rebuilding a 69 charger for a guy I know. That was pretty much in the same condition as this one. 600 hours of work only for the metal work.. $$$. The guy ended up selling the car before it was done, because he got sick and tired of all the money going into that restoration. Sad story.

My personal low point was a Challenger with a freshly-painted 340- with overspray on the plug wires. The top of the engine had been repainted while it was in the car. Couldn't quite believe it.

Used to be a company called Rusty Jones that you took your car to on the East Coast that would shoot stuff into your car to keep it from rusting. The only problem was they found that they made the rust worse.

Hey, you look like a combo between Joe Dirt & Billy Ray Cyrus and is perfectly hilarious hahaha 👍🏼. I like the style, and is a really good vid. Most of my Mopars have been b-body cars, but in a lot better shape than that pos lol. Other than one and was a 70 RR that I bought several years ago as a project car for 1500, so I knew what I was getting into and wasn't too bad. Yep every one of them, always had problems with the vents to and must be a Chrysler thing. Once again, I really liked the vid and keep up the good work bro. BTW, cool dog and is funny how it bites the exhaust like that lol
