I remember reading about Charlie Keel and his Great Charger and his health issues. I am hoping he is still with us and doing well.

God Bless Charlie

I don't know the last name but there is a member here with a black 68 Charger, his screen name is CDR and his name is Charlie.
A short time back he bought some high end Challenger that is black with black stripes.
These new Challengers are great cars too.

Charlie is also one of the first people I heard of that put an overdrive 518 behind a big block in a Charger.
This was before anyone was offering a bolt in kit. Silver Sport Overdrives has a 4 speed auto overdrive based on a GM 700R4 or actually a 4L60E. It probably isn't as durable as a Mopar Transmission though.

Hi Charlie,      19 Sep 25

Thank the Good Lord you are here. I remember reading your posts and wishing I could do all you had done.

Your Challenger in the photo is one Bad Ass Machine !!!

God Bless Sir,

I do like seeing the black cars with matte black stripes.
Yeah, this has nothing to do with B5 Blues original topic but how can you deny showing appreciation for what is cool?
Look at the rear wheel wells. It looks like he rolled the lips. Compare that to my wife's 2015 R/T:

Maybe I'm seeing it wrong but it does seem like his rear wheel opening lip edge sticks out more.

I am not one to hold grudges (In general) so if no rude comments are made to me from now on, I'd be willing to play nice.


Still playing the victim i.e. it's all my fault for pointing out when you "go too far" by your own admission.

Nuff said.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Anything except stay on the topic over and over? wa wa wa....
