Do you have any more info?
How bad is it and where'd you find the pic?

Is that a Superbird or a Daytona?
There's a good feature in Classic American magazine, this guy goes to various junk yards and it's amazing to see what's sitting there, though a bit of a shame though!
Superbird, key is in the rear lights, the Daytona had Charger lights where as the Superbird had the vented Roadrunner lights.There's a good feature in Classic American magazine, this guy goes to various junk yards and it's amazing to see what's sitting there, though a bit of a shame though!
Still a 200mph car, sat rotting

Just had a look at that cars in barns website, can't understand the mentality of some people, so many where the owner will not sell and is happy for it to rot away. Just why?
Simple."If I can't have it (in a functional, restored condition), no-one else can"
Whatever the owner could realistically get for that wreck will never buy them another and they will always know that someone else is enjoying "their" car.

In a lot of cases the owner will know it's "worth quite a lot" and will base his valuation on prices of mint, restored examples.
I remember being asked £2k for a MGB GT with more rust than steel, no wheels, no glass and an interior that looked like a family of pigs had been living in it during a number of winters.
Sure I've heard of one chap in the states with an original Shelby Cobra who won't let it go for under £100k, despite being absolutely, totally knackered.
