I like the gold as well. I almost bought a '68 R/T in that same condition and color years ago, sold before I got there. I love the Metallic Gold as well... who knows, might be the same car. However, a duke '68 just isn't right. But, to each or her own. 100% true.  However (unlike us die-hard charger fans and DoH fans) most common folk won't know the difference between the 1968, 1969 and 1970 models, they mainly see the Orange Paint, General Lee stickers and Dixie Flag and automatically assume it's the proper year model and all.  It's fine for what I plan on using it for... might restore it to the factory image later... it has ALL matching numbers, stock factory AC & heater, paper work, clear title, etc. (which we all know is rare) http://www.stockmopar.com/mopar-vin-decoder.php?VIN=XP29G8B269602 |

So I'm guessing the car is still in progress? Yes still a work in progress - probably 75% complete. What are you using it for? The usual: daily driver, dukesfest, classic car rallies, local parades, fundraisers, magazine articles, Pinks-All-Out, events like that and might film it in an movie or two. Not the same car you own now. The charger I was going to buy had power windows and a real R/T not a wanna be. It was in Washington State also. Matching number car you have also,what a shame to clone it. Enjoy......... True... figured I'd get a lot of   for converting it to a General Lee... however I'll probably restore it to factory original after I've finished my current plans for it... worth more original anyways |

Found a little factory surprise within the dome-light just before removing the headliner... a "Good Luck" charm.
