Even before the entertaining shows that it was a problem. When I moved into my current home in 1985 there was a good solid 69 Z-28 and a 68 R/T Charger sitting in neighbors back yards (we used to walk a lot back then with the kids). Also about another half dozen other old cars. I respectfully inquired about them on a regular basis, and got the "going to fix it up" song and dance for 25 years watching them rust away. Lady with the Charger died (it was her Viet Nam vet kids) and junior sold it for nothing because the rust was so bad. Z, the same deal, when the guy moved to a new house the body buckled loading it onto the trailer from the cowl and rear window/trunk leaking. I just hopped the DZ block was not frozen beyond repair.
