The city of Atlanta has not be kind to this turquoise 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Years of exposure to the city’s humidity and summer rains have cracked, worn and rusted significant portions of this Mopar machine away. Rust now resides in the areas where fine craftsmanship and a beautiful paint job once stood. The metallic fungus covers the entire rear and has eaten away large portions metal. Despite being a rust bucket the seller has an asking price of $17,900 due to the car being an original 440 RT with a numbers matching 727 TorqueFlite tranny. The mill however, is a replacement 440 equipped with the infamous six pack.

The 2nd generation Charger hit the highways in 1968. Chrysler designed the Charger to be Dodge’s top performer and the flagship of the fleet. With its sexy coke bottle styling, a herculean 440 mill and a fiery personality the Charger became an instant classic. Thanks to the 440’s raw power, the Charger became a favorite among drag racers and stock car racers. It was piloted by many famous names including NHRA legend Dick Landy and NASCAR King Richard Petty.

What’s left of the coat that shines through is the rare Q5 Turquoise, which was one of the latest common colors used on the Charger. The seller claims the Charger still runs and drives but by the looks of it, she is going to need plenty of TLC before it hits the shows or the strip again. How much would you pay to save this rusted machine?
