HLPAG - Truemusclecars.com -- '69 Charger sure LOOKS nice

I thought I had found my dream car -- a '69 black RT, no vinyl, and with a MANUAL.   :drool5:  Ran across truemusclecar.com website, got excited, but then found a reference that it is the revamped HLPAG.  I found plenty of references to HLPAG here on this site.  Dreams -- for now -- dashed.   :'(

terrible one

$50k and they can't even put the right upper radiator hose on there! It's kinked and everything  :slap:

Seriously though, it could be a nice, solid car. It seems like they have some that they just flip. The ones that they "restore" are the real trouble  :eek2:

Looks pretty nice, actually. Which leads me to believe they had nothing to do with the restoration (except the radiator hose :D). They probably bought it as-is for $30k.

Heres what that car looked like back on 4/18/07 on ebay.....looked the same way on 2/23/10 when it was relisted again & probably sold to "True Muscle Cars" to work their magic...

No Surprise! its a Halpag Car! that explains everything including the missing Fender Tag

tpetty

Yeah,
I didn't get the Mr Norms association either, and there aren't many details listed.

Rebody.  :rotz:


The car Chris lists is correct.

The black one has A/C interior & A/C firewall.

The 4 speed bracket on the firewall looks to have been added on as well.

Chris' original shots show what it should look like from the factory.  The black car has what looks like fresh bolts.

Wow, looks like someone may end up with a real shiny bag of trouble :o

Looks like the guy taking the pictures was either going to do that or burn it (reflection in the rear glass)

Incorrect radiator?  Shouldn't the upper inlet be on the other side of the radiator?

Funny to see if they gets way with it, sadley i think so since its to many with allot of money who just buy it and then discover what
Looking for 383 Magnum #0B196875 and 0B115166

seems to be a rebody.
radiator is from a c-body. Probably just quickly rushed together from the parts they had easily access to. Mastercylinder etc is also a cheap autozone part.

It is a shame, the original RT doesn't look to bad

How is it the fenders are so much rustier than the rest of the car in the before pics? It's almost as if someone stripped them and then gave up on it.

Slight accident or such so they were replaced/fixed and were still in Primer?

Just FYI - I see Patrick is placing ads referencing www.daves-classic-cars.com now.

Also, some ads reference "Steve's Customs" for paint and body work.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.
