This Dodge Charger was abandoned in a Florida barn, but finally got a kickstart to its fairytale ending

The Dodge Charger is one of the most famous muscle cars of all time.

The iconic design paved the way in the auto industry.

“The first-generation Dodge Charger was designed to be a high-speed street racer with a fastback roof design and full-width tail lamps,” stated Dodge Garage.

But, like many cars, one 1969 model wasn’t kept ticking over and instead was left to rust.

Listed on eBay, the Dodge needed a bit more than a lick of paint to get back to dominating the road again.

The automatic eight-cylinder Dodge has 99999 miles on the odometer and came free with cobwebs.

The rusty car had been owned by the current owner for over five years, and surprisingly, even though the car needed work and hadn’t been regularly driven, it wasn’t all bad.

“This original vehicle is still in good condition with low mileage,” stated the eBay description.

Taking into account just how much value this car has in the history of muscle cars, it’s not hard to see why it was snapped up by an eager buyer for just $21,300.00.

“With its iconic design and retro appeal, this Dodge Charger is sure to attract car enthusiasts looking for a vintage gem to restore or enjoy,” the seller continued.

And, you’re wondering why it’s in a barn, the seller detailed that their husband placed it there as the brakes needed work, but now the car is set to be treated like royalty once more with a new owner.

“It needs complete restoration, of course, because of rust floor pans, trunk pan, etc,” the listing stated.

Barn finds can sometimes strike gold

When it comes to stumbling across barn finds, sometimes things can turn out better than any car enthusiast could ever imagine.

From working engines to even untouched cars that still run like a dream, when exploring hidden cars, amazing things can be uncovered.

Take this $4M Bugatti from the 1930s. It was miraculously discovered in a dusty garage, and it could very well be one of the most unbelievable barn finds ever.

Plus, if that wasn’t enough, one man stumbled on an abandoned Porsche dealership that was eerily frozen in time with more than a few dusty secrets.
