A Greenwood, Alabama man found a classic

muscle car, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

rusting away in a barn roughly 60 miles south of

Montgomery, sold it to a restoration specialist

and now the car is set to hit the auction block

where it's expected to fetch a top bid between $

150,000 and $180,000.

He discovered the rare muscle car when

checking out another car nearby, and was

pointed to the barn that housed the Daytona.

After much convincing, the old man who owned

the barn agreed to sell the relic.

This car that's covered in rust and moss with a

tattered interior and an engine that likely doesn't

run anymore has such a high asking price

because it's an incredibly rare rust bucket, as

Dodge made just 503 Charger Daytonas that

year, most of which were meant to meet NASCAR

racing standards.

The car, which has a flames painted on the front

fenders, has a 440 Magnum V-8 engine with

nearly all its original parts and a mere 20,553

miles on the odometer,

The car goes on sale next month.
