A Greenwood, Alabama man found a classic 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.
