Shed Find 1970 Challenger Mango Orange, Orange interior, slant six, 3-speed manu

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

A cool video I did of a 70 Challenger full of sticks from a bunch of pack rats.

That is one awesome car! 

Polish that up and drive it nice and gentle.

That is quite a collection of sticks, and definitely and authentic shed find 
The gas pump is a nice find too, hopefully you got that to go with it!

Cool video  Ryan as always    I wonder how the Racoon got the hood open

Also real odd the car has a black carpet, but I think that one could assume it was replaced at one time?

I wonder what they are going to do with that car?  Hopefully it gets rescued from that rodent infested ramshackle shed!

I do not believe it is original.  He replaced the original non-a/c dash with the correct color, but A/C dash, and fixed the headliner.  He probably changed out the carpet as well.  It was 30+ years ago though!

Wow!  What a neat find!  I agree - hope it finds its way to a good home - without the raccoons!
That trailer hitch brought back memories - had one just like it on my 71 back in the day.  Still have the hitch - just no longer on the car!  Hauled a small sailboat just fine!

It's a pack rat.  Or mexican brown wood rat.

I've had the pleasure of examining a midden that was around 800,000 years old.  Very valuable resource for paleoecology. 
  However I have had the disgust of pulling at least 6 cars that had these types of midden's in them. 
The pack rat urinates a yellow paste and it sticks all the different stuff together in the nest.

I know you find all kinds of cars so I doubt that you buy all these cars you find. 
Do you pass cars along to collectors when the owners are ready to sale?
I almost never see the cars you feature up for sale anywhere. 

Have you come across any M46 cars yet?  Perhaps there is a collector who would appreciate information or a lead on M46's.

Out of the thousands of cars I've found.  Only a handful have ever been bought sadly.  I have found a few M46 cars through the years, usually missing the scoops.

Just a heads up, I don't want to over-saturate the page.  But I release a new barn find/shed find/garage/junkyard video every Monday.  This weeks is pretty cool, with a bunch of Chargers and next weeks will be a legit barn find AAR 'Cuda.

Great episode!

Yea, don't ever be worried about posting too much on here, we love this kind of stuff.... A lot of us older folk don't do YouTube or whatever..

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Sounds good, the next few weeks should be exciting.

[cuda hunter]

Sweet!  I'm biting my nails.  Can't tell if it's F8 or TX9.
