Seeing the pictures of that Charger reminds me of a story Ken Mosier told me a few years ago. As I recall of the story, a '69 hemi Charger 500 was at a shop in the southeast somewhere. After media blasting it, they left it sitting outside for months and the body became absolutely trashed, he didn't think the project was salvageable at that point.
Speaking of rare cars recently trashed, there was a fire in someone's barn in Missouri in the last year or two that destroyed the owners collection. I heard the cars and motorcycles were uninsured. But not long afterwards, the superbird showed up at an area show. It may be burned to a crisp but apparently still runs!
