Have You Seen this Car?

The son of the previous owner of this 1969 copper brown Charger R/T is on the hunt for the family car, sold by his father back in the 80’s. Not much to go on other than two granny photos and a licence plate. Back in the day, it was licenced in Wisconsin. Anybody recognize this car? If so, you can find more info at Barn Finds.
