We poke fun at the Ford Mustang and its drivers for spinning out and crashing a lot, but the truth is they aren’t the only ones. The reality is that most American muscle/pony cars (or to be fair, their drivers too) have a habit of losing control and taking themselves off the road quickly.
Consider this trio of Dodges, whose lives were cut short by front-end damage. All three now reside in auction lots for totaled vehicles, and what’s truly surprising is that none of them has even reached triple-digit mileage. For instance, the green Challenger GT below had only been driven eight miles (13 km) before meeting its untimely end, suggesting it might have incurred damage even before delivery.
As is the case with all such cars, the circumstances that led to them winding on the auction lot is not made clear. However, this V6 Challenger’s life was as traumatic as it was short, having suffered damage to both the driver’s side door, and the front clip.

IAA reports that the vehicle was lost in a collision, and it appears to have been T-boned. Surprisingly, the engine still works, and from the passenger’s side, it may appear undamaged. However, it is not alright, unfortunately,
Located in Flint, Michigan, the auction house estimates that it would cost $28,809 to fix it, which is a big ask for a Challenger equipped with a 3.6-liter engine and an automatic transmission. Maybe it will be cheap enough to attract some interest, though.
By comparison, this black 2023 Charger R/T located in West Virginia looks a bit more appealing. Equipped with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine, it has suffered some pretty serious front-end damage, but still runs and drives (or, at least, can move under its own power), according to IAA.
However, the auction house estimates that it would cost around $39,000 to fix it. Again, that’s a big ask for such a vehicle, but with only 18 miles (29 km) on the odometer, it seems a shame to let it go to waste.
Finally, this Dodge Challenger with black stripes is pretty mature, compared to the above vehicles. It has 39 miles (63 km) on the odometer, which means someone may have actually had a chance to take it for a proper drive.
It has also taken a pretty big smack on its nose, which has folded the hood and collapsed the passenger-side front fender. However, Copart reports that its 3.6-liter V6 engine still runs and can turn the rear wheels. It doesn’t have an estimate for how much the car would cost to fix, but I can’t imagine it would be cheap.
Do you think that the age of these vehicles makes any of them worth saving, or are they all too far gone? Let us know in the comments.
