Destined To Rot

I used to live right down the street from this '68 Charger. Didnt think much of it; heck I didnt even know what it was until I picked up a '69 Charger. After I got my Charger I realized what it was and that it meant something. I checked it out and could of bought it for $4000 back in 2000. I passed as I needed the money for my '69. The owner of the house where it was sitting said it's been there for 3 years. The car had rusty floors and lower quarters but most of the upper body was fine. He also said it was a '69 R/T with a 440. But it had a '68 grille and fenders. I found that weird. Anyways, I moved away and came back every so often to check on the car. Well that was 8 years ago. And it still sits there to this day. The owner of the house actually isnt the owner of the car so I've been told. Apperentley, the owner of the car is the original owner. He left the car at his friends house (the house where I found it) and moved to Poland and basically forgot about the car. Its gotten worse over the years. Even though it has a tarp over it, it isnt helping. The roof is now rusty, around the windows is rusty, the quarters are rusty, the frame rails are rusty, the rockers are rusty, the floors are rusty, the fenders are rusty..everything is rusty and the interior is toast. It also has a locked up 383 in it. A friend of mine checked it out and after doing a vin and fender tag check, he found out its not a '69 R/T 440 but a base 318 '68. It also came original in R4 red paint. The owner of the house refuses to sell even though he admitted that his friend isnt coming back for it. I'm sure a large amount of money could buy it but thats just my opinion. I guess this one is destined to rot. Too bad.
