I was thinking the same thing.. a guy could just rebuild that engine, free up the wheels, and you could drive it around your yard, if anything.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@nastybastardatlive So true

[@OutlawMercenary]

@@nastybastardatlive i agree....it doesnt have to be ''restored'', but it could be ''saved''........no reason why that car, as long as the body is capable of standing up on its own 4 wheels without collapsing, cant be tucked into a nice garage, given a thorough cleaning, a quick once thru on the suspension steering and brakes, and a rattle can rebuild on the motor and or trans, and have that beast cackling in the driveway.......even if its just to stand back and look and listen to it.....in all its patina'd glory.

[@jimsvo4486]

Being such a nice performance car you have to wonder why the owner did not attempt to keep it stored in a place that at least is not in a wet field.

[@79impalajb]

I love how back then you could pretty much order a car the way you wanted it. Nowadays you get option package a or b

[@tlr-nut7275]

That may be true for a Hyundai, but any of the new Mopars or Mustangs can be ordered with or without a million options.

[@johnmcmullen456]

@@tlr-nut7275 Very few options available on a new base model Mustang. Have to get expensive premium package first in order to have several available options.

[@rupe53]

@@tlr-nut7275 ... yes, but those options are "bolt on" options. Back in the day you could order a Malibu wagon with a Corvette driveline and a Hurst shifter, factory rally wheels and 70 series tires. Talk about a street sleeper at a traffic light!

[@tlr-nut7275]

@@rupe53 4 different motors for the Mustang is not bolt-ons. Only area I may agree is interior colours. Back in the day, you could get a lot of colours and patterns for the interior. Today it's usually 2 or 3 choices.

[@rupe53]

@@tlr-nut7275 ... I think you missed the point that those engine options are part of a package. Back in the 60s you could get a stripped down car from Ford or Chevy with a big block police package and dual exhaust. Requests became popular enough that Ford actually started making a "street rod" with a big block, "delete back seat" as a package for those who just wanted to go fast. Look up the Ford T-Bolt. (pre Mustang) Ford eventually saw the $$$ and turned the Mustang into the Shelby Mustang for quite a few extra $$$ as a package deal. Despite the "package deals" people were still able to order pretty much whatever they wanted if the factory made it. 4 speed and sway bars in a wagon? 409 4 bbl v-8 in a wagon? Sure, why not? Today? WTF?

[@rupe53]

Funny you should mention those emblems. I just went through a box of crap in my garage and found a turbo emblem from a mid 60s Corvair that no monger has it's mounting studs. I repurposed it as a Xmas tree ornament with a bit of 5 minute epoxy and a hook. I knew there was a reason to save it!

[@WWEST9726]

That's because it's a Chrysler product.

[@davestewart2067]

Suspect it’s not a pick a part yard. They (the owners) let Steve in there to do the video

[@jimbo3214]

It hurts to see that car sitting there rusting away. I wonder what shape it was in when it was put there? Needs to be saved or parted out to save others.

[@ArcherMorningside]

I agree man. But in the 80s it was a regular car. That’s why it’s there

[@wes11bravo]

Given what rare Mopars get at auction, I wonder if this might be a good candidate for restoration. Probably walking a thin line between money into it vs money you could get back - I guess it depends on your skillset and how much you value every hour you'd spend on it. Then again, forget profit motive - how great would it be to just do the restoration as a hobby, have your son or daughter and maybe some friends help then just keep the damn thing? Sounds awesome to me!

The R/T may have been top-of-the-heap, but if I was a young guy stopping into the dealership in November of 1969 with some combat pay burning a hole in my pocket, I’d have probably ordered a Super Bee! Hopefully, it would still be sitting in my garage today for Saturday afternoon cruises……👨‍🦳

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I think, when you went in the store with your R/T money (3 year old body style), you would have bought a Charger or the brand new Challenger. Well, that's what nearly everyone else did. And why there were so few. 2615? I wonder if there was even one per dealership. Perhaps sent out by Dodge, not even ordered.
