A guy was just casually cruising around in his dad’s car when he accidentally found some rare Dodge icons.
He found a Challenger and a Charger, even a Mopar model.
The best part is these cars are actually in good condition.
The worst part is no one knows who owns it, or if the owner is willing to sell.

The story behind Mopar models
These cars were found by a guy called Walcoman, who posted the video to his YouTube channel.
Mopar – which still exists, by the way – was basically to (then) Chrysler group brands what Brabus is to Mercedes.
Mopar, a portmanteau of the words MOtor and PARts, has designed vehicles for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram.
The company is still active and is now part of Stellantis, which makes sense considering all the aforementioned brands belong to the multinational car giant.
In the past, they also served Plymouth, Imperial, DeSoto, AMC, Eagle and Fargo.
Mopar adds something of value to the car, both literally – as in monetarily – as well as romantically.
People just love Mopar vehicles – especially Mopar Dodge Chargers – because they are reminders of a long-gone era of motoring.
How much is a Dodge Charger worth today?
Broadly speaking, you can still find relatively cheap Dodge Chargers that are also rare.
The catch is these vehicles will almost certainly be in horrific condition.
To cut a very long story very short, it all depends on condition.
You can either find abandoned Chargers, like the one that spent 43 years in a barn, and get them for a bargain, as low as four figures, or you can get a Dodge Charger in great condition, and that’ll cost you.
In the former scenario, you don’t need a lot of cash, but you do need a clear plan for how to restore the car.
By contrast, you need money – and a lot of it – in the latter scenario.
