Yes I hated that as well but are you saying that you wouldn't want that HEMI to put under the hood of a project?
I know people are going to look at me wierd here, but no, I would take the 440 worked over instead of that 5.7 anyday of the week, and that includes the 6.1 as well. You better look again Khyron, thats no 5.7 under the hood of that Foose-mobile. |

You're right G-man, he shouldn't have been destroying anything as beuatiful as a 67 Charger.

Why in the freaking world would you pull the original electro-luminicent dash out of a 1st gen car?  That interior is ghastly.  |

WTF is a Shaker doing on a 1st gen Charger The interior doesn't look bad but the original gauges restored would have been much cooler.  Those oversized rally wheels look Hideous !   On the plus side the bodywork and paint are gorgous.  Too bad about the original motor being trashed. A nice 500in stroker would eat that Hemi for breakfast.  Ron |

I think the car looks pretty good. Just not $75K good. I also dont know / dont care if something looks original as long as it looks good and functions properly.

.... thats right, the ORIGINAL MOTOR was just smashed and thrown away. Not to be suspicious, but is there a possibility that was done to get more ratings? |

BTW, I got 'em on my project '69 I'm building. IMO, they are GORGEOUS wheels, especially up close in person. The car is even more assembled now, they look great on a 2nd gen, IMO. They are much, MUCH better than those offered by Billet Specialties.  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,38231.0.html |

I think the guages, front seats, and steering wheel all look way out of place too. The shaker I thought was cool at first, but then I realized they didn't do a real shaker with the baseplate hooked to the carb. If that was the case I wouldn't be able to see plug wires through it.  |

Not to be suspicious, but is there a possibility that was done to get more ratings? it got the opposite reaction from me if it was.... They just cleared the car when the chain snapped and they ran like bitchs as that work of art pancaked itself on the floor |

heres one that hates the engine... I remember this build, it's the reason I stopped watching the show. It was an original 440 car, when they pulled the engine the chain broke and the engine smashed to the ground.... thats right, the ORIGINAL MOTOR was just smashed and thrown away. It pissed me off. so I stopped watching.
I've seen them do this to many cars, but this one just hit home for some reason.
Not an original 440 car though, original 383 2bbl, note the 5th digit "G". XP29G72152584 |

Wow, if I was Chip Foose, I'd be kind of ticked. You do something nice for a guy and they turn around and sell it to make a profit. I could tell the kid wasn't really into that car. He looked like he'd prefer a ricer instead. I loved the part where the engine broke the chain. Most the owners on that show love their cars and would never sell them in a million years because of the emotional attachment. I think what Chip does is super nice. I see the look in his eyes when they first see their cars and it seems he does it out of the kindness of his heart. He realizes it's more than a car to them and it represents an emotional experience or family member/friendship relationship. He uses his skills to touch others lives. What a stud. I keep waiting for him to "steal" my 68 Charger but much to my disappointment, I just went out to the garage and it's still there!  |

I'll throw my 2 cents in also. 1. agree with most on the wheels just don't look right on a !st gen. 2. and what is with shaving the door handles ? Just never have liked that look myself. |

Alas, it has ended. And not even adding a "Buy It Now" price of $115,000.00 could temp the rich and famous.  |

Nobody on line here could build that car for what has been put into it at the asking price. I see so many smashing it and other cars tweaked, modified other than stock, gees, being original is so out dated, ha-ha. Bodymen/painters don't get the respect they/we deserve as often as we should. |

I'd give it all kinds of respect and praise the great Foose if I thought it looked like something worth respecting. Just because he's a talented body and paint man doesn't mean that everything he touches becomes a great work of art. It doesn't even mean it's tasteful or improved and even though some may see it that way, some obviously don't.
