Remind us to start exploring dilapidated, unassuming barns when we pass them. As Charlie’s Classic Cars and photographer Teddy Piper, whose photos you see here, prove, there can be some serious treasure lurking beneath those rotting boards. Take this 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger they came across in Alabama for example. Expected to fetch over $150,000 when it goes up for auction at Mecum Kissimmee Auction, the Charger is one of only 503 ever built. The previous owner purchased the muscle car for $1,800 in 1972, slapped on some flames, drove it a bit, and then let it sit. Now it can be yours… for a pretty penny.
