This 1967 Dodge Charger was discovered in a state of abandon near a junkyard and it is now awaiting restoration.

No one knows how the car got there, or how long since somebody last put some miles under its tires.

But what is certain is that cars such as this one are always valuable.

Hopefully this one can soon get back to its former glory.

Always a sad sight

Not a day goes by without somebody finding an abandoned car in a barn or a junkyard.

The reasons are often unclear, but it’s always a sad sight.

The upside is there are collectors and YouTuber that spend days, sometimes months, tracking down these cars to restore them and put them back on the road again.

The ‘hunt’ can sometimes take a long time.

A man once found a rare Shelby GT350 and he said it took him around two months to negotiate with the owner.

Another collector went further, spending seven (!) years tracking down some classics.

How much is a 1967 Dodge Charger worth now?

Dodge Chargers are always valuable, even when they’re falling apart, and this one isn’t.

The price fluctuates significantly depending on condition but, generally speaking, a 1967 Dodge Charger can be sometimes be more valuable than a 2024 Dodge Charger.

To give you an idea, a while back, a rare 1967 Dodge Charger in great condition sold for nearly $300,000.

The Charger has had at least three lives.

First, as a three-door muscle car, then Dodge changed it a four-door sedan, possibly so it wouldn’t be mistaken with the Dodge Challenger, which is also a three-door muscle car.

And then, now, Dodge launched a new electric.

They even gave it a fake exhaust sound, but putting the words ‘muscle car’ and ‘electric’ in the same sentence always feels a bit odd.
