omg!!!111!!one!!!1uno! am giggling and excited like a schoolgirl.

i was driving today at noon, was supposed to meet my dad for lunch.. when like 10 or 12 blocks away from my house i saw this badass rear end and fat tires 200 yards away and getting closer... could it be it??
YES IT WAS!. a 1968 charger r/t (from the exterior and emblems it absolutely looked like).
i started drooling, drove slowly past it... then went to lunch with my dad. i had the car on the back of my head for a few hours, jealous of the owner and hoping someday a car like that would show up for sale....

i´ve never seen that car in the ´hood, there are very few 68 chargers in Lima, am pretty sure i know most of the guys into collecting cars in da hood... this was an unknown car for me.

at 5pm, i went back around the same place, but the car wasnt there. i thought why they would leave a car like that outside... it had no signs or anything.
so i stopped and asked the security guard... "what´s the deal with the long old orange car that was sitting here??... he said the magical words.... ITS FOR SALE, the owner from #10xx just said so this weekend".

i couldnt believe it. there is a charger for sale.
i GOTTA have it.... i dont care if it ends up costing me a kidney... but i gotta have it.
the guard told me the owner will be there tomorrow, am soooooooo gonna be there cash in hand. (crossing fingers!!).

am so excited, the thrill is just too big to sleep tonight.

Sweet.

Be prepared to bend over and take it prison style.

 

[mshred]

without pictures i am incomplete.

 

[ALEXIS_DH]

i dont have a fancy cell. just the one that came free with the contract 2 years ago. so i couldnt take a picture and the car isnt there anymore.

i called my dad aftewards. told him "dad, i might need a backup emergency loan in the near future.... there is a 68 charger for sale". nuff said.
he understood the urgency and utmost gravity of the situation.

the charger, challenger and the barracuda are my dream cars.

 

[greenchris]

i ask my dad for $50,000 plus loans all the time too!

doesn't do much for me...

Maybe looks wise, have you ever driven one with a pumped 440? It's very insane!!!!

 

[buildyourown]

'69 Chevelle SS for me thanks.

I'm with ya there! Might be bias though!

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I had a 1969 Olds 442 in HS, it was fast.

 

[Bicyclist]

doesn't do much for me...

Maybe that's 'cause of the vinyl and the fact it's all jacked up in the back. A clean one is a nice car IMO.

 

[rideit]

Dude, If you score that car, we are SO getting a couple of britchitas, and clubbing in Barranco this April.

I am dead fookin' serious, Pata!



(who owns it, If I may ask?)

 

[Bicyclist]

my dad owned a baarracuda but he sold it to pay for med school and he said it would brake down alot, but it could beat any car he raced, 0-60.

My dad's better than your dad.

 

[Downhiller]

My dad's better than your dad.

(who owns it, If I may ask?)

this car is a total unknown to me. i think i know who the owner is, but i have no clue how he got the car.
i didnt even knew there was an orange/white interior 68 charger r/t in lima.

since threads like this are worthless without pictures... i snapped a few quick ones today. i live next to a military base, so i had to be quick and stealthy (plus i didnt want the security guard to notice am taking pictures of the car, that´ll likely be a handicap when haggling)

the build up.. just leaving home.

two minutes later, just a few hundred yards away.

a ****ty delivery van blocking the view of the badass rear end.

more to come in a couple minutes..

 

[OGRipper]

:biggrin:

 

[ALEXIS_DH]

mad r3sp3ct yo... (check out the R/T logo).

the car definately needs some love.....

 

[lovebunny]

so have you talked to the owner yet?

 

[ALEXIS_DH]

so have you talked to the owner yet?

yup.
he said he´d be available today´s evening. but i´d rather check out the car and test it at broad daylight.

so tomorrow 10 am is when.

 

[lovebunny]

sweet! your stoked

First impressions seem good!
Paint looks nice, as does the interior (from the bits we can see), and from the tires it looks like the car is either a restoration job or just really well taken care of. This is a Good Thing, because then you have a black canvas to make your hot rod

(assuming you want to make a 'rod instead of a resto)

am kinda familiarized with the classic car market around here. i also own a 68 camaro with a big block.
guessing by my experience with muscle cars in southamerica, its very likely that car has most (if not everything) original parts on it.

from long time to long time jewels appear, like hemi chargers (one appeared many months ago with 40k-ish ORIGINAL MILES!!), shelby mustangs (by now all of them are accounted for am pretty sure) and the like...

the other day i saw a ferrari dino parked at my office. i talked to the owner, he told me his car had 33k original miles and still had the original paint.:biggrin:

 

[Downhiller]

alexis thx for pics

car looks so damn hot...



what do you ride alexis ?
i hope guy will let you drive that beast.. if he do put some pics

 

[NapalmCheese]

Holy jeez man, thats rad! That doesn't happen so much in California, though a friend of mine in high school bought a 1967 Mustang from an old lady for $5000.00. It had 3000 miles on it and was still rolling on the original Polyglass tires it came from the factory with, that was amazing.

Good luck, I hope you're able to pick it up!

 

[rideit]

Alexis, I told you the story about my friend Roberto Berendson's 60's Cobra in Lima, didn't I?

Took two years to retore with his 16 yr. old son...got it all pimped out, son got drunk, (as in blackout drunk) took it out at 1:00, and totalled it.

That's gotta hurt. this was last year, I believe....
