One of the rarest Dodge Chargers ever produced, that wasn't intended for US, found abandoned in a forest

Dodge Chargers are some of the most iconic cars ever built.

It has endured as one of America’s icons ever since its release in 1966.

A 1970 Dodge Charger has recently been unearthed in North Carolina.

And it could be one of the rarest Dodge Chargers ever built.

1966 saw Dodge make a big attempt to challenge Ford’s Mustang.

First released in 1964, the Mustang created the pony car segment of the car market.

Naturally, Dodge wanted, and needed, to get in on the action.

So the American marque unveiled the Charger in 1966 for the mid-size market.

Directly derived from the Dodge Coronet, the Charger was an enormous success.

The base, standard option was the 318 cu in – 5.2-liter – V8 engine.

At the top of the pyramid was the legendary 426 cu in – 7.0 liter – Hemi V8.

It’s widely accepted that the most iconic generation of Charger was the second-gen.

And it’s the second-generation Charger that stars in today’s story.

In recent days, a rusted-out Charger was found in Asheboro, North Carolina.

And it has been making waves on eBay – because of its potential rarity.

The eBay seller, hmusclecars, listed this car for sale a few days ago.

But this one is different – because it could be one of the rarest ever built.

It’s claimed that the frame of this Charger is still ‘super solid’, despite the rust.

This Charger comes with a rare, Alpine White interior and a D-13 transmission.

It also – originally -came in an all-black paint finish with a black roof.

In the advertisement, the seller claims that fewer than 100 of these units were sold.

Without official information, it’s impossible to verify if this is true or not.

This Charger was once powered by the epic V8 powertrain.

That, however, is long gone – presumably as a donor for another Dodge.

This Dodge Charger could definitely be a restoration project car for the right person.

But it’s going to take a lot of work to restore it to its former glory. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that whoever buys it can get it on the road again.
