Huge Mopar fan hid 400 cars in Louisiana Bayou and a tree ended up growing through 1971 Charger Super Bee

A fan of Mopar cars cleverly hid a massive 400 cars in Louisiana Bayou. 

But, thanks to his hiding skills, nature has taken over. 

A very rare car is hidden amongst the leaves and branches- the 1971 Charger Super Bee, and the state it’s in may just shock you. 

Louisiana native Russel Bamburg had a passion for all things Mopars- resulting in his hidden car junkyard.

Over 400 cars were found hidden including Mopar classics

The old cars held a very special place in his heart, with the metal head taking it as far as hiding some 400 of the machines out in the wild, wild west… of Coushatta. 

And, the impressive stockpile was only found when the collector passed away in March of 2024. 

Although clearly visible from the road- the surprises of what adorns in the vehicles, may just take you by surprise. 

The collector loved all things with four wheels and an engine, but his love for the machines may just have slightly sprung out of hand. 

The ill-fated Super Bee was found with a tree growing through it- throwing its previously high-tech spec quite literally out the window. 

The Charger Super Bee was a lower-cost version of the Plymouth Road Runner and was first launched in 1968. 

New changes were made, with perks added

But, in 1971 changes were made.  

The 340 V8 small-block was a new perk to make its way onto the Super Bee list of possible options.  

And, although the 440-Magnum wasn’t available for the new and improved 1971 version, 26 were actually built.

And Dodge made two-door vehicles Charger, and four doors, into Coronets. 

When it was released, the model featured some impressive perks. 

The heavy-duty suspension ensured it was ready for whatever the wild had to throw at it and the drum and bucket seats were standard too. 

The stripes featured on the exterior were made to emulate side scoops. 

But, the shiny, flashy previous exterior is a far cry from the one that lies hidden in rubble. 

It may take more than a lick of paint to restore the rare car back to it’s glory days- but if you’re someone who thinks that they can take on the challenge- there is one perk.

If you’re interested in buying the rare vehicle, the owner who has inherited the hidden pile of cars will chop down the tree.
