Maybe a foreign model like Australia, New Zealand, South America, Mexico? Leon.

It looks like a plain old shade-tree DIY job. 

I'm kind of impressed.  This guy went "It's the 70s/80s.  I'm gonna hack the parts off some other car into the front end of my '68 Charger R/T" . . .  and the results didn't come out looking hideous.



It looks a bit like something from a GTA video game.  They come up with generic versions of production cars rather than paying the licensing fees for real models.

It looks better than I expected.

73/74 SE indeed to be exact

Hard to say if it gets some kind of filler where there is no grill

I respect the effort. However, I don't like it. 69-70 Chargers are perfect as they are.

Also, the crappy picture doesn't show what's going on where the chrome wrap around bumper center would be.  Without that sweet bumper, there are a lot of gaps.

I can appreciate the work, but in real life this might look like ass.
