muscle car, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
rusting away in a barn roughly 60 miles south of
Montgomery, sold it to a restoration specialist
and now the car is set to hit the auction block
where it's expected to fetch a top bid between $
150,000 and $180,000.
He discovered the rare muscle car when
checking out another car nearby, and was
pointed to the barn that housed the Daytona.
After much convincing, the old man who owned
the barn agreed to sell the relic.
This car that's covered in rust and moss with a
tattered interior and an engine that likely doesn't
run anymore has such a high asking price
because it's an incredibly rare rust bucket, as
Dodge made just 503 Charger Daytonas that
year, most of which were meant to meet NASCAR
racing standards.
The car, which has a flames painted on the front
fenders, has a 440 Magnum V-8 engine with
nearly all its original parts and a mere 20,553
miles on the odometer,
The car goes on sale next month.
