Here's my 70 R/T that I picked up a month or so ago. I figured this time, I'd let someone else do all the restoration work, and I'd just drive it. I've done several other Mopars over the years...I thought I'd take a break from breathing the bondo dust for a while.

Got any more pictures of the Torq-Thrusts on your car? I'm thinking about 15x4's and 15x8.5's on my '68.
Here are a couple more of the blower cars. We have the same wheels on both of the purple cars. I can take one up close if you need.
You've got two purple '69 Hemi Chargers? Nice! ;D
I'd love a closeup of the rear rim/tire on the non-blown car... but don't feel the need to run out to the garage just for me or anything. It looks very "period correct" with those wheels, I dig it immensely.

Thank you! I will get you a pic tomorrow. The backs on the non-blower car are street legal slicks. It is too mean to drive really. The blower car is the "daily driver". hehe ;D
Hah... I've put about 6k miles on my '68, most of them last spring/summer. I didn't have another registered/insured autombile, LOL.
4.30 gears, 4 speed, 509 cammed 440 + dumped 3" race bullets made for a fun commute!
I had hoosier cheater slicks on mine, and loved them. Now I have drag radials, and I don't love them so much anymore. I have another set of cheater slicks for my car, but I've been trying to decide what rims to throw 'em on... the centerline knock-offs on my car don't do anything for me.

I dont know anymore. If youve been around long enough, you'll remember that it all started as a 2bbl to 4bbl carb/intake swap gone wrong. I tried several 4bbl intakes, and had massive vacuum leaks with all of them (but the damn thing would start!) - I came to the conclusion that the heads had been decked by a previous owner. Rather than throw money at it, my plans changed to simply getting a new engine for it altogether. However, I'm chronically broke and whenver I do get some $ together, something else comes up and takes priority over it.
A few months ago, I put the old 2bb intake and carb back on it (and the intake fell right into place, unlike the other ones), but it wont even start now. At this point, whatever is wrong with it is beyond my mechanical knowledge and I'm not in a position to throw money at it based on my uneducated guesses.I guess I'm in a quagmire of sorts... ;D
Heres mine !
Mojo, you should have spent less time (de)baiting in off topic and more time picking Neil's brain.

I did, but theres only so much the man could do from a couple thousand miles away to help a dumbass such as myself. ;)
Understandable. It's like a long distance love. Phone sex is fine until the novelty wears off and then...
Don't sell yourself short though. Mechanical experience may be lacking (based on what you claim) but you're hardly a dumbass. You are the king of verbal jousting.

In a few weeks I will be able to post some updated pics of my car. It will have the 440 rebuilt, auto transmission, front disc brake kit from SSBC, headers, X-pipe, Magnaflow mufflers, TCI Streetfighter torque converter, tubular upper control arms, poly front end kit. Started this project in February and am finally finished. Oh, and I did a so-so job painting the engine compartment, but it looks better than it used to.
Nice cars everyone. :drool5:
Hey formula 440. Yes, that is a real V21 coded, 1969 Charger R/T, 440, 4-speed car with F6 Bright Green Metallic paint. I can't wait to get working on it. I've had it parked since 1990 and I'm putting up my 20x32 shop right now so I can start working on it. I can't wait.
here's a couple of our one....
My 1970 RT SE with 71,000 original miles.
Paid $2,500 for it in 1981 and have made only a couple of minor changes to it since then. The sad thing is a couple of months later I had the chance to buy another one exactly like it for the same money and I turned it down. :-[
Keep the pics coming guys and girls :punkrocka:

My '70 at a campgound durning the 2004 Nats
Two days after it came home with me...off on a wrecker it went. :( The U-Joints went out and there was no brakes at all. (shop was surprised the little bit there stopped me lol).
There she goes...

Looks good in pictures, but needs alot of work. Engine is fine...440. The frame (Unibody rails whatever it is called) is rust...which is about the most worst thing. Leaks water in from the rain (I think the windows are the culprit...needs to reseal them). New headliner and some minor interior work. Worst is the cotton picking frame rails... :icon_smile_sad:

Here is my 73 Dodge Charger. It was my wife's grandparents, they were the origional owners.
Here it is on the trailer when I picked it up August 2004
(http://www.retrorelics.net/jim/Boards/On%20Trailer.JPG)
This was taken when I got the motor back from the machine shop...
(http://www.retrorelics.net/jim/Boards/402andcar2.JPG)
I have since started stripping the car down (will do a thread on that too).
I built the motor first, it was origionally a 318 2bbl., now its a 402 stroker (origional 318 block) with the Edelbrock RPM package. Will duplicate the build thread I did at the "other" site with what went good and what went bad with that soon as well as cost and the dyno sheet.
Here is the car now, hopefully this fall it will be getting patched up and then painted Spring 06 and reassembled. Color will be Plum Crazy Purple per wifes request when its done.

Here's mine. This is the only picture I have of my car that isn't a close up of one particular area. Kinda silly since I've had it 13 years come August. It was my first car & I bought it when I was 17. It's still not done. Puttin the wedge back in this weekend, though!

4forty,
Is your car painted its original color? If so is it the TT-1 code?
I saw the spoiler on NYCMille's Charger and loved the look so I e-mailed him and he told me where to get it. (It's a '69 Z-28 Camaro spoiler, sorry Charger purists) The paint is'nt original I don't think... the guy I bought a few years ago had it done. I like black but living w/ green for now.
gotta love 'em
Man, talk about gettin' to see the goods. ;) ;D
And I'm with, Dane, this is way cooler than buying a mag for pix. :2thumbs:

However, this green is gorgeous. I'm in love. :icon_smile_tongue: Edit: oops, that's a '69, different paint codes than my '68. F8?
My 73 tripple black 318 4bbl with 72 hideaways and bumpers.
499ci coming soon...
Heres my 69'. Photo is from Jan' 05' I'll get a more recent photo soon. Will be cloned in the years to come, installing a 70' front clip for now. Doors, deck lid, hood are cut in now in FC7, but being a painter, that can still change as well by the time I go to paint the car completely! Door handles, trunk are shaved, remote opening. Building a 440 for it now, sold what 426 Hemi parts I had last week. Notice my neighbors ride, hes waiting for my 550 H.P. motor to be installed as well!

Good question...i think its the glare from the sun though....
My Charger and my Coronet. The Coronet was my summer project, I got it running and driving, just needs brakes :icon_smile_tongue:. The Charger has been at the shop for 3 months. They were getting it roadworthy because it sat for 16 years in our backyard. Just took it for my first drive in it tonight. My first time driving a Charger and it was amazing.
I like the Coronet too. You just made think of something else though with your first time driving a Charger comment.
Glad the board is back up!

Hey Sublime69;
After timeless times of oogling your car, I finally have to speak up;
I love the color combo with those wheels, nothing screams nostalgic BAD ASS like that machine making ALL onlookers and I'm guessing especially kids, that the 06 version has any loins to that!

Stratocharger- They are all b-bodies of the Charger kind. You got the Riv GS on the head so to speak. It was a friend's car that he parted out for the drivetrain (455 HO) and frame for his 1941 Buick street rod. The Riv is now crushed.......
You are close Ghost. The actual order is 1970, 1969 and then 1968 followed by the 1970 Buick Riv (Stratocharger got that one first). The cut up car in the background is a 1970 Charger. As for what they orginally were: The first 70 was a 440-4bbl., 4-speed, dana-60, RT in triple black, stripe delete. The 69 was orginally a 440-4bbl, 4-speed, dana-60, RT in triple green with a gator grain vinyl top and a towing package. The 68 was a 383-2bbl., auto, black exterior with no vinyl top and a white with red inserts interior (same interior as my 383-2bbl., 4-speed 68 Charger). The fender tag codes for a gold door frame paint, why I don't know. The second 70 Charger (cut up) was orginally a 500 with a 318. It is actually famous for being a picture car up on the wing warriors website. I bought it from Jerry Junemann (purple 70 daytona fame) for $125 and the picture was taken before I moved it home from Hays, Kansas. For some reason, the car was moved out front of his museum the week before I could pick it up and people took pics of it (thinking that someone was going to fix it). I ended up cutting the rest of the top side and saving the rust free frame for my /6 car........

Its nice that the Next Generation show respect for the old crude in your face fast iron.
Even though they may not say it right to you, even when they belt out a "Lite em up" from a distant corner while you sit idling at a stop light, u know they know these cars can shut you down, because you never hear from the distance at a light from some kid, "Lite em up" to a Taurus or a plain ol civic.
They respect, in their own way, and I appreciate that.

The Red Daytona is the bomb! Love the Purple R/T Too. I can't wait to start on Mine. I've had her over 10 years, but haven't had the time to start on her. Hopefully, that will change.......soon!

You have a Purple '70 too? That thing looks nice. :thumbs: I had a '70 440 parts Charger 25 years ago that was purple. I still have the hood, the tail lights & the 8-3/4" rear I'll be using on my Daytona project.
Here is mine....
Some really nice 70's popping up in this thread (as well as other years). LowProfile, that blue looks great with the longitude stripe on there. I know alot of guys prefer the bee stripe, but think about keeping the longitude stripe when you do the car. ChargerSG, your's looks great as well. What color is that? And Mike, when are you going to send me a nice pic of the plum car so we can add it to the gallery?
All you 70 guys, please don't forget to register when you get a chance. http://www.1970chargerregistry.com/ :2thumbs:

Never apologize for the appearance of your car. If it's beat up, it only means it's been driven a bunch and has a history behind it.

LOL :rotz: THE SHOP was a mess as I just moved into in these pics. Much cleaner now. The rear is now out getting cleaned up.... Car Sat 5 years before I got a hold of it.

My '69 GL. Nupe said with the front end jacked up it looks like its jumping even when it is still. The reason it is so jacked up is because I got too big of a tire for it and they rubbed the fenders. Once I get the fronts changed it will be dropped down to a normal stance, or I may just get air shocks in the rear.
My '68 on its way home. It is now dismanteled.

Awesome thread.....
Very awesome chargers!!!!!!!!
here is mine ;) an original 73' charger 440
i like this forum very much!
greetings from switzerland
I guess this thread has went on long enough for me to post a picture of the 500.
Here's my Charger...
Here is a pic of my 72 SE. I realize it looks like an 80's flashback. My dad originally restored this car in 1978 and only put about 200 miles on it in 25 years. He finally sold it to me 2 1/2 years ago. Back in 1978 all the painted striping and lettering on the rear quarters was actually pretty cool. It is a 400 4 barrel car with an AT and my favorite part would have to be the power sunroof. I hope to get it repainted in the next year or two.

No, this is one of the only pics I have except for an interior pic and front end pic. I took a couple quick pics this year before I put it into storage.

THAT IS ONE SWEET BEE :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
Wow, your from Wisconsin too! What part of the state? I'm 15 miles south-east of Fond Du Lac.
Here is my 69 after I had it sandblasted and sprayed some primer/sealer on it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/BlueSS454/69%20Charger/P1010118.jpg)
Here it is when I bought it
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/BlueSS454/69%20Charger/P7230283.jpg)
ChargeGuy I live in Wauwatosa about 10 blocks from Miller Park where the Brewers play.
The Bee has yet to make it to a show. The 383 is still a bit finicky. I found out the hard way what LOW compression can lead to tuning and timing nightmares. I am getting pretty close though. Still a lot of bugs to work out. The left side header doesn't seal worth a damn so that is my next big project. I also found out the damn spark plug holes are mostly cross threaded too so changing plugs are a full out bitch.
Still for my first full out resto it has come very far. I bought it as a primered shell with an interior and 90% of the parts for 8k back in 2000. I used to think I got ripped, but now my mind has changed seeing how much #'s matching Bee's are going for...even the project cars.
Here's my buddy Greg guiding in the 383 back in 2001.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/71383bee/greg_eng.jpg)
Here's the day i bought it off of Jimmy Borros
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/71383bee/Begining%20of%20the%20BEE/71FC7intfr.jpg)
testing, testing, 1.2.3.
Hey 71383bee that is one sweet ride! I dig the elastomeric painted bumpers.
this is my Bee. somewhere in it's life, it aquired a '72 hideaway set-up.
it still has the original drivetrain (recently ALL re-built):
383 Magnum
pistol grip 4 spd.
8 3/4 3:55 sure grip

No, no break. I think he enjoyed it. He said he couldn't believe it when he saw me coming around the bend. We joked around; he thanked me for not trying to make a run for it. I told him I figured I couldn't escape because there were no ramps in sight to jump from. I asked if they planned on putting any in for next year. "Nah, too much paper work." he said. I bet he had the cop cam going in his car because on the ticket he wrote General Lee where the vehicle model was supposed to be, and again under special comments. When he saw my friend take the picture he commented that it would be circulating around at parties. I bet his copy of the ticket and the cop cam footage made the rounds at parties and around the station. Btw, thanks for the compliment.
genlee1970 Is this your car?

Either way I just want to tell you the body painted bumper looks awesome on that car. I have a '70 that I will turn into a GL when it is done. I have spent a small fortune trying to buy the parts to convert the front end into a '69. If I would have seen this first, I probably would have gone the same route you did. Good job.
Have a great day!

good chrome, windows look good, and it seems like every thing is there. Whats your plans for it?
complete rebuild. all black outside w/ black stock car wheels. limo tinted windows, all blacked out. the only thing that you will be able to see at night is the lights. aka: the "BLACKWOLF". I am going to have actuator ativated drop down license plates. for those high speed runs down the interstate late at night. :icon_smile_cool: the entire frt is stripped. the rear qtrs. are cut off of it. i am going to replace the fenders, hood, and frt. bumper and the rear bumper with fiberglass pieces from www.up22.com . i am going to get qtr. clips from www.dvap.com $850.00 a side. floors and frame rails are solid. i found it sitting in a salvage yard in smithville, mo. back in june 05. the license plates that were on it expired in june 86 .i sold my white over red 74' se in may of 86. uncanny wouldn't you say. i guess i was destined to have it!
Hey HazzardJohn, yeah that's my car at Dukesfest. Nice pics btw, I saved them. The painted front bumper wasn't my idea. When I was contemplating a General Lee, my freind Pete, aka "Chargervert", suggested I paint the front bumper rather than spend a small fortune re-skinning the front end. He has a 69 front clip I may still buy from him for future use though, but for now the painted bumper seems to do the trick. I don't think I would have done a 70 as a General with a chrome bumper; I don't really care for the look. I think I converted another 70 Charger guy to the painted bumper idea that weekend. Are you going to Dukesfest next year? Supposed to be in Nashville.

Nice car, been there done that also. Got my ticket in the garage as well hanging up with photos. 144 mph in a 55 back in 1992 in Washington. Lost the car for 120 days, impounded. Jail/bail was $350. make a long story short, all in all it cost me $3300.00 Spent 6 hours in jail, cop was cool, but not alone! Yeah, good times! Not.......
Mark
OUCH!!!! Man that sucks. You've got me beat. Hopefully that 144mph was in a Charger. How'd she feel at that speed. Were any parts missing when you got it out of impound?

Hey Chargervert, one "Feelin' Fresh" photo coming up (read the sign below the gas prices) as well as one of your Charger convertible at Carlisle.
Btw folks, Chargervert is the one who risked a shot from Roscoe's Tazer to get me the pic of the traffic stop on the way home from the Nats. I owe you a beer buddy.
here's some of mine... :o

If anything Al, I owe you the beer,for taking me along to the Mopar Nats in the General! It was a blast,and the General performed flawlessly! As usual! Thanks for posting the Vert! That was back when she had the Dragstar wheels,and the Mickey Thompson N-50-15s! :icon_smile_big:

I will post some pics as soon as I can scan them. I haven't taken pics of it since the day I bought it and I didn't have a digital camera yet.

Too bad about your car man. It does take time to do them right though. Definately post the pics, I'd like to see them. Hey, they have a track at the new site for Dukesfest right? That was so cool last year to blast around a NASCAR track in the General. Al

Hey 70 Battle Horse. Nice pics, thanks. That was on that mini "Power Tour" we did. Saw the blown up version of that first pic on the wall at G-Series' garage. Sweet. Wish it was as hot out today as it was that day, huh? Al
nice pics guys. does anyone know of a third generation General Lee?
Theres a guy who brings his 72 SE Charger to Chryslers at Carlsile every year!
Wall to Wall Amercan Muscle!!!
Hope this worked, I'm new at this stuff!!
This is my 1972 Charger SE 400 Magnum 4-speed. It is one of 126 with the 400/4 speed combo. It has the brougham package, air, 3.23 sure-grip, power brakes, power steering, tinted windows, light package, 3 speed wipers, rear defrost, am/fm stereo, tuff wheel, front/rear sway bars, etc..... It also is a bench seat car.
I spent 5 years restoring this car, it came from Los Lunas , NM. My father had a 72 with the same color combo new , it was the first car I remember him buying (I was 6 at the time).
What's really neat is the build date 4-12-72. My youngest daughter was born 4-12-00. I will never part with this car, it is my dream car.
Thanks,
Mike

Here is different 72 that I think was on ebay at one time.
New tires and rims!

There's a story behind the first 72 General Lee pictured. I heard that the guy got the car for free under the condition that he turn in into a General Lee, at the request of some kid with cancer. Don't quote me on the exact details. That's the jist of the story as told to me by someone at Carlisle in 2004. Al
If it's true, you have to respect that. :yesnod:

R.T., it looks great! I was wondering what color you were going with, great choice.
Is it gonna get a stripe?
Yes - she will get a stripe as soon as i get her running correctly....
That is a great color on that Rolling Thunder. I guess I haven't paid much attention, I didn't know you were repainting. Didn't you put a 360 in that beast a couple of years ago?

I was having some fun with a photo editing program I had recently bought at the time. Here is the pic of my car that I used. It was before I got the AR rims.
Someone from the old site, I don't recall who, asked for the fullsize pic to put on a T-Shirt ;D

I'm making everyone guess the color --- it is a stock Mopar hue so it shouldnt be too hard... yes it had a 360 in it for maybe a year and a half... got less than 5000 miles on it...
For some reason I thought I had posted a pic in here at the beginning of this thread but didn't. Here goes:

One day the car will be solid yellow, so forgive the funky callouts and tail.
I really was'nt a yellow fan, but boy your Charger sure looks good! What a great scenery! Is that what you see every day when you leave your house? Looks like a scene from Vanishing Point! Nice Charger :thumbs:

Thank you for the complements on the color...most people just get hung up on the unusual callouts and tail color and overlook the car altogether :-\ I don't know why the original owner painted those on there, but I hope to get the car back to all yellow in the next year or so.
Yes, that is the view from my house...I live way out in the middle of nowhere in Colorado and love it here. I guess I never put the Vanishing Point thing together before, but now that you mention it, there are a lot of places out here to open the Charger up. My long term goals are a turbocharger and a Gear Vendors unit so I can turn her into the terror-inducing ride she should be :icon_smile_big:
Looks good Rolling Thunder. nice straight lines. Good job. Al

Any more pix of 'er? ;D
TK, dig the snorkel! :METAL:
You know Volk, I think I mentioned this before, but I don't mind the funky callouts and tail on your car. Not sure that I would do it or even keep them if it were mine but I also don't think I would be quick to apologize for them.
Finally ! Another sexy Sublime machine ! NICE CAR DAVE ! :yesnod:
Here's my 68 here in the UK. :icon_smile:
Is it just me or does anyone else find that these cars look just as at home on a pastoral country road in England as they do on a desert highway in Nevada or a dragstrip in the midwest or a boulevard in SoCal or a mountain road in Europe or...
You get the idea.

No criticisms please, as the wing and door scoops were already on the car when I bought it. :icon_smile:

Thanks :icon_smile:
I was having some fun with a photo editing program I had recently bought at the time. Here is the pic of my car that I used. It was before I got the AR rims.
Someone from the old site, I don't recall who, asked for the fullsize pic to put on a T-Shirt ;D
I sent it to them but I don't know if they ever did.
You know...that's actually a really good idea!! With that pic on a t-shirt, I bet you could sell the sh!t out of those on eGouge if you were to try! :yesnod: I know I'd want one. :thumbs:
Volk, I've said it before & I'll say it again...I really like the different stripes & tail panel on your car. :icon_smile_approve:
TK, that scoop looks friggin' sweet!
Ok, in case any newbies here haven't submitted your car's picture to the site poster thread...click this link!---> http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,5737.0.html<---
We only need a few more to complete the poster & empty slots are filling fast, so make sure yours is in there! :boogie:
Hawaiico, you have got to be holding out on us because if you are in that state, you must have some pics of that car with some of the most spectacular background scenery in the world.
HAWAIICO, THAT CAR ROCKS!!
Thanks for the kind words guys!

Check out this one:
Here's mine...1970 CHarger 500 SE pistol grip 4speed.
here is my 1972 trifecta. 1st one (black) i have had for 10 years. it was originally a 318/bench/column car. it now has buckets with 71 style pleated covers and 71 SE upper door panels, B&M floor shift (have replaced the cable 4x already), 73 or 74 bulge hood (dont remember which) also added a repro tach, and the R/T/Rallye tail lights. runs and drives. 2nd one is the 72 Rallye i bought 2 years ago. 340/console-slap stik/N96 car. have been collecting parts for it. runs but trans slips and will require a rebuild. 3rd one is the 318/bench/column "mock turtle" topper car that i bought from Stormhammer. supposedly will run/drive with a new carb but i havent got around to doing anything to it yet.

Here's from the day my brother and I picked the car up, last May, 440 is still out of car going to get rebuilt this month hopefully. Haven't done much except bought a few interior/exterior parts and some engine parts. Lots of planning and daydreaming about driving her when she is fixed up.
Here's a front shot of my 500...
And another interior you don't see too often...
I posted this once in another thread, but since this seems to be where it belongs, I'll post it again. When I was on the old board, my handle was DaveD and the car was blue. New board. New Paint :icon_smile_big:

Damn JimsSE, that is one fine looking Charger.

No crap... Took this picture last June. The only things in this picture that are not 32+ years old are the center caps, lug nuts, and tires. Alot of Meguire's products get it looking pretty good and the camera doesn't pick up the small stuff.

Thanks man.

Here's that B5 '68... Took these today with my crappy Cell Phone Cam... Hope to get better ones soon... Car is MINT. He even sent upper door pads and dash to Just Dashes... Came-out sweet.
Is that blue interior in it??
Is that a new car for you??
Yep blue interior. Will get high res soon... Only other Charger in my area... Guy who put in my Main Heating unit... B5 is GLASS.

here's mine, bit old but it's how it looks like still
Hi
My name is Mario and I live in Germany near Heidelberg.
This is my ´68 Charger. I have bought this car 2 years ago here in Germany.
It´s not a R/T. It has a 383 with 4-speed.
Last year I put on the disc brake conversation kit from Master Power Brakes
with a power booster.
I enjoy the Charger very much. American cars are pretty rare here. But there are several
US-car shows. And we also have a Mopar car show once a year.

Eat me!.......................lmao. I'm merely ahead of my time. I have vision! At this point in time I wanted something different in the sea of rallies , magnums & mags. A little bit of A12 on the car looks all business if not plain. Haven't made my mind up on the poverty caps yet. They look sorta sissy on there. Cool thing about tires & rims is you can lose them & change. I'll be like Almeda Marcos & have a garage full of tires & rims instead of shoes.
Here is my 67!!!
My Charger. From the most isolated capital city in the world - Perth, Western Australia. ;)
G'day from WA.
Dodge Chargers seem to be everywhere around the world.
Hey, Aussiemadonmopars - welcome aboard! I've been to Australia quite a few times and you guys rock! The women are lovely there too - plus you guys gave birth to the Mad max movies. Now, if only we could get Mel to do another one, but this time with a Charger instead of that Ford Falcon.
hi there. :thumbs: Aussiemadonmpars, welcome! whats the story on your charger then , how did it end up in Austraila , by the looks of things you are going to be busy for a while . it looks to be an R/T, are going to restore it to factory original or do some custom work to it.
Here's a side angle shot of mine i'll have more later , Interiors a little different than stock and havent taken a pic of the motor yet since the SB-BB swap.
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/69bananabeast/DSC00189.jpg)
Here's mine when I brought it home. Since then I havn't really done anything, besides stripping the back end and taking the interior out.
(http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8726/charger0141jc.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Hi Guys, (Crazy Larry & Tan Top) and everyone else,
I picked up the Charger on e-bay in Feb of 2004 from a guy near Radford Virginia and by the time we got a shipping container sorted it was August by the time it got here. Its only a H code car, someone painted on the stripe on the back. We also bought over a couple of pick-ups and parts.
A friend of mine has quite a collection of Mopar stuff including a 69 Runner, 73 Cuda & a 74 SE 360 4sp Cuda.
As for the mad max movies, there is an Aussie Charger in Mad Max 2. Its an E55 340 Charger which are the racing model over here. They were built to compete with the Phase 4 Falcon and the Xu1 Holden Torana from General Motors.
From what I can gather they were based on the 6 pack 340's from the states but with a single 600 carter carb.
They would have been a formidable force but the wowsers complained that the cars were too fast for the streets and should never be made public. Still about 500 or so were made.
I've started doing the panel work on the Charger now but I've just seen one for sale locally and it looks to be an ex general lee from warner brothers, going in today to check out what a AU$90,000 car looks like. US exchange rate currently about 0.70 so you guys do the math.
http://allamerican.carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/DesktopDefault.aspx?UsedCarID=1590108&TabID=86326&Alias=allamericanau
Here's more pics of the Charger too.
Cheer's from Australia and keep them pics comin in this thread.
Here is my 68 with my truck and wife's car.
mine looks like this now :D
Mines still on the way down. I need to get out there and pull the drivetrain this week, im just being lazy.

That 1968 is flawless. Great looking interior.
The only thing different so far is I've removed the back seat and the grill. Hopefully it'll be gutted soon though.

Looks pretty complete, the grills blacked out eh?..
what wheels are they?.. looking kinda generic to me... :icon_smile_big: ya' gonna paint your rear marker surrounds?..
that first pic sure shows that extremely subtle front quarter contour well.
since ya have so damn many chargers I can criticize one abit?... LOL.. :icon_smile_wink:

One of the previous owners was a blind Fu...rrr, so he drove the Charger more by hearing rather than eyesight :image_294343: ... No, actually I have no idea what caused that ding, there are two small dings on the rear bumper as well... If you look close you also notice that the left (from the front) side of the bumper is also lower than the right side.. My ride has got some battle scars over the years... I managed to mess up the right side front fender when I backed it out from the garage a little to fast, but I did manage to cover up that ding ok..

those last 2 cars are friggin' MINT!!!!!! :METAL: :METAL:
black is just an awesome, sinister color
i gotta go listen to OZZY now.

hey brock, no grill is not blacked out, getting gloomy outside.. pics sucked.. the wheels are generic. paid $350 for them new, and i should have bought 5 more sets for that price.. i like the rear marker surrounds white instead of black. lots of chargers are done that way.. and oh yeah, you can criticize the car ANYTIME ya like.. lol i'm still gonna drive thehell out of it

Here`s a few of my 68 when I brought it home last October. Since then I have collected nearly everything I`m going to need for its resto. It presently has its original 318 with erson cam, valve covers, aluminum intake, 4 barrel, and headers. It also has a 23 spline 4 speed with and 8 3/4 with 2:76 gears. I just finished rebuilding a 3:54 geared dana 60 for it and next I will be rebuilding my 18 spline "hemi" 4 speed box. Lastly I will be rebuilding a 71 440 and that will round out the drivetrain. The car will end up being a triple black bullitt clone, hubcaps and all. I will keep you posted on the progress.

Here is my 73 Dodge Charger. It was my wife's grandparents, they were the origional owners.
Here it is on the trailer when I picked it up August 2004
(http://www.retrorelics.net/jim/Boards/On%20Trailer.JPG)
This was taken when I got the motor back from the machine shop...
(http://www.retrorelics.net/jim/Boards/402andcar2.JPG)
I have since started stripping the car down (will do a thread on that too).
I built the motor first, it was origionally a 318 2bbl., now its a 402 stroker (origional 318 block) with the Edelbrock RPM package. Will duplicate the build thread I did at the "other" site with what went good and what went bad with that soon as well as cost and the dyno sheet.
Here is the car now, hopefully this fall it will be getting patched up and then painted Spring 06 and reassembled. Color will be Plum Crazy Purple per wifes request when its done.

Heres a few pics of my B3 69. The first picture is when I first bought it (i was 15 in the pic) and the other 2 pictures are what the car is now. After three and a half years of fun. ::)

Thanks mike, and yes My dad and I performed litterly all of the work ourselves, including paint and body work. This is the first time either of us has ever done this before. However, we had a lot of good advice from this board, and some body men we knew.

Damn, that's nice. Who did your bodywork/paint?
Guy on Moparts who doesn't post very much- Duster340. He replaced a TON of sheetmetal, and spent at least a month block sanding the body to get it that straight. It's been in his garage since November, and the body was just finished, but I couldn't be happier. My car was a wreck when he started.
I did some work, mostly stripping, and sanding non-show surfaces like doorjambs, engine compartment, etc...
I've owned mine for 20 yrs.

This is my 68. It has a 440 with 3.23 in the rear. Even with that tall gearing it runs 13.50 @101 mph @2000 elevation and still runs 80 mph on the freeway. It's a nice combo with lots of torque. Hopefully i'll make my daytona drivetrain similar to this.

Haha yeah man. I really like that stripe. I would really like one just like in the movie on mine, but being a '68 like yours, the "440" part would clash with the marker light. I really like the look of the solid stripe just as well after seeing it on your car. If I ever get around to painting my car, I'll have to do that.

I've seen it in person and I didn't need a tetanus shot so it's a lot better than one of mine. I'm trying to convince him to get that motor back together so he can drive it. I know he has the parts.

Nother of the motor I took this morning and I am glad I didn't have the engine compartment painted as that is one less layer to sand through. That first pic is the best shot of my car any more and you see the stuff I complain about.

nice car bcharger, sittin alittle high though eh?..
Ya the rear has all new hardware (leaf springs, ubolts, shackles, New Dana 60, and shocks). The rear is a little high I believe because of the new stuff, but it was sagging before so I am glad it sits higher than it was. The front has all new stuff also, but is a little high and I am going to have it lowered and realigned. Thanks for the kind words. Brian

I hate to say it, but it's a honda civic del sol color called "samba green". It's real close to f6 green. I didn't realize f6 existed when I painted my car or I would have gone that route. Thanks for the compliment. It's nothing real special, but it's mine.

Looks great....quite the hodgepodge though (no offense intended).....68 front end, 69 rear end and are those 70 buckets?
yes yes they are... i think they are sweet though (the seats, make it feel kinda racy inside), in all honesty the guy before me took what he could get to make this. I mean give the guy credit, he wanted a charger bad so he took the parts he could find and made himself one. Not that the man wasn't talented, the body is straight and its in overall good condition, but he just used what he had. Its up to me now to make it right, and i have been, i have replaced the floors and a part of the frame last winter, and i intend to replace the trunks this time around. But as we all know, these parts are expensive, so until im out of collage, let alone high school, i cant really afford a restoration... don't get me wrong i could buy the parts to switch the front end over, but the paint isn't brand new so i couldn't match the purple, which would mean a complete repaint, and there is stuff i would want to along with it... so one thing leads to another... but for the time being im comfortable with the hodgepodge that it is.
took me from '84 till '99 and she still ain't done.. :-\
some of these posts are pretty old now,.. I'd sure like to see the project's updated pics..

Quote from: miller on October 13, 2006, 11:46:56 PM
yes yes they are... i think they are sweet though (the seats, make it feel kinda racy inside), in all honesty the guy before me took what he could get to make this. I mean give the guy credit, he wanted a charger bad so he took the parts he could find and made himself one. Not that the man wasn't talented, the body is straight and its in overall good condition, but he just used what he had. Its up to me now to make it right, and i have been, i have replaced the floors and a part of the frame last winter, and i intend to replace the trunks this time around. But as we all know, these parts are expensive, so until im out of collage, let alone high school, i cant really afford a restoration... don't get me wrong i could buy the parts to switch the front end over, but the paint isn't brand new so i couldn't match the purple, which would mean a complete repaint, and there is stuff i would want to along with it... so one thing leads to another... but for the time being im comfortable with the hodgepodge that it is.
You know, I always liked the '68 grill better. And I also love the '69 tail lights. And yes, the '70 seats are a lot more comfortable. I think all you gotta do is shave the marker lights off, give her a fresh coat of paint and you've got the perfect Charger :thumbs:

I think the wheels are looking good, exept for the rear backspacing ;), but then again that is just me.............

Hey there I am the new guy. Got a 69 4spd console car 383. Thats all the original owner wanted. It's got the original build sheet and all the ID tags to prove it is a all matching number car.[td][/td]

Gladly, but it came with the car when I bought it, so I don't know the manufacturer. I can tell you that it's real light, about 40lbs for the whole thing. Here's a couple pics before I started the resto in May...I'll post some better ones of the framework and hinges, so you can see how it mounts. tomorrow, if the weather drys up a bit
Thanks Aaron. :cheers:
Lookin' forward to the other pix. :yesnod:

Wow. . I have never seen your car before. That thing is sweat. Those Torq Thrust II wheels look great on there. :2thumbs:
Brock- maybe I've been living under a rock, but was your car used in any magazine features, possibly as a comparison ith one of the new Chargers?
Hey thanks guys for your compliments and support!
i must say i sure love my car, maybe too much... :-\
i know the Road and track comparison test you mean Blu but no that wasn't mine that was the other dark blue '69 s.e. but it's not an R/T it's a 383,.. nice car i have no idea why it's owner isn't here...
Here's another pic of my Skunk... my current Fav. taken last week at the Jimmy's picnic... by Stu.
I like this pic. alot, but the funny thing was i saw the pic four or five times before i realized it was me in the picture, i kept thinking too bad that old bald guy spoiled the pic.... ;D
(http://www.megahosted.com/albums/album220/Imgp8323.sized.jpg)
Gee, I almost fell out of my chair seeing your 69, It looks just like mine, a twin.....
Here is a picture of it back in 1969 shortly after I bought it, I havn't seen any in that color until yours....... I like it :P
I hope my pic comes out ok
Here is my 71 R/T N96 next to my 71GTX 4sp car
Yeah the dark blue color is realy rare i have no idea why... it's my fav. Mine was orig. T-3 med. bronze... I had it painted in black lacqure with a slanted white bumble bee when i finally got her painted in '89, a horrific accident took out my front clip in '99 which prompted the color change,.. it's a custom mix of ink blue with a pint of red tint added... it changes color depending on the light...
click the link below for some examples of the color shifting.. there are other pics of my baby on this thread scattered around..
by the way: i have an original '71 r.r... soon to be back in action.. :yesnod:
Thanks again everyone..

I don't know Rizzo, looks pretty good from here :thumbs:
Welcome to the board!
Thanks, Dave, but it's in need of some serious work. It runs like crap and the body has some issues that become obvious when you get close to it. All the trans fluid leaked onto the garage floor at my in-laws' new house. That didn't go over well.
looks good shackels and all... ;)
A friend once told me that a good Mopar always marks its spot ;D
If that's the case then my car is a GREAT Mopar. My uncle painted the shackles silver so they'd stand out. ;D I have to try scanning a pic of the '70 R/T he had when I was a kid. The paint would best be described as festive.
Since my last pics got deleted, here are some more recent ones:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/BlueSS454/69%20Charger/P6140690.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/BlueSS454/69%20Charger/P6140685.jpg)
Just to update the pics, the rear panel is on, corners are on, bodywork on the quarters, doors, roof, and trunk lid are 90% complete. All I have to do is finish the hood and fenders, then block the whole car down a few more times with some high build primer, then into the paint booth it goes. I am hoping to have it ready for paint by Christmas.
here's mine
73 400 4bbl

This is one of the cars my uncle had when I was a kid. He saw the paint job on a Vette and followed the guy to find out who did it for him. Unfortunately, the engine caught fire and it was written off.
that's a great photo... paint or not that thing Rocks!! :METAL:
Wow, is that thing old school, or what! COOL! :icon_smile_big:

Yeah, I wish that car was still around. It would be a blast to drive around in. I remember riding in the back when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Every time we slowed down I'd start sliding off the seat. I also remember some dude at a stop light offering to buy it. It almost got impounded once in Vancouver because the hood scoop was apparently too tall. My aunt started bawling because they were going to lose their car so the cop let them go.
I'm really glad that this forum is back. I've definitely missed checking it out everyday as well as all the great info. Here are a couple photos of my '70 Charger 500.
Nice '70 Santa Cruz. The white top breaks the green up nicely. :thumbs:

My Charger in Alaska

Makes me miss home even more. :'(
Just not driving in the winter. :icon_smile_big:
Man I wish I had bought that charger. Glad to see you have it though. Looks awesome. Heres mine till I get to feeling better and it goes back into the body shop. Cold, that is just an understatement right now. Are you moving back to Alaska anytime soon? I can say though that I have sat in it, haha......
Mark in Alaska
Browsed all the pages and I didn't see mine so here is my '69.

I would think you would want a smaller wheel to drag though. Guess it doesn't matter as long as your comfy.
Last ones. Hey...I didn't cut the car up, but couldn't resist having it. I'm going to be selling the mint grill, original steel fenders, bumpers, and front valance this spring. Going to a one piece fiberglass front clip. Fastest Charger i've ever driven!!! It's gonna get allot faster after some upgrades! :drive:

Bought it from a guy in Scranton, AR. He and his brother have raced it/owned it for over 20 Years.
My 1968 Dodge Charger, 383, 4 Speed, Viper GTS Blue, just replaced the shifter, rods and clutch as 1st, 2nd and reverse gear were almost non existent when I got it, pictures came out dark so I will try and take some when it's light as well

I just picked the car up on 22 Dec, so don't have any video yet. Building a house right now and really don't have allot of extra time. Oh well....at least that will give me time to make some improvements and hopefully will be racing by mid-summer.
Found a couple intresting shots of my red 68, one at the track, just
before the tire's went up in smoke :drive:

I boiled the tires too when I gave racing a try at the end of last summer. No feeling in my foot so I couldn't feather it to get out of the hole. :eyes: It was either all or nothing. You look good in there @ the track. :icon_smile_wink:
Hey Mike :wave: how have you been? Yeah, radial TA's suck for traction, when I raced consistently
I never ran a radial TA. I only have them on now for the looks :yesnod: :yesnod:
if I was not in this chair, I would probably still be racing, and just checking out mopar meets, that's the
way I was till 1985, then my ''mishap'' I love the track :icon_smile_big:

hey, i just noticed chuck, are your front turn signal lights missing(one's on the front valence) I might have 2 extra(the only thing I have extra) and they are not correct for 68 i think cause they are clear vice amber lens(i'm unsure about that) but you are welcome to what I have free of charge if you promise to put them to use.

Thank's Mike, I think I scored on this one. :icon_smile_big: That car has all it's original metal and a brand new 500+ horse 446 in it now. :drive: I'm into it about 8k so far :2thumbs: .........Chuck. No my signal lights are in a box still with the mirrors and some chrome that never got put back on after last owner had it painted 6 years ago. But thank's anyway........
Here's mine...68 R/T 440/727 not sure about the rear end, but I think it's a 3:23 open? Originally shot Dupont LL-1 with Bumblebee delete, black vinyl top, hood signals, black interior, auto on column , tic-toc, etc. etc...now it awaits my every last dollar.
440 out of car at moment, gotta fix up body too,
69 440 with 727 black on red, white hat special. Has a 8 3/4 rear end and has alot of work ahead of it to bring it back to life.
Wow! The "68s came out of the woodwork. :icon_smile_big:

I see you got shackles in the rear. Adjusting those will lower your car. I don't believe new springs will do that job cause yours look minty.

Thanks. The car looks pretty darn good from 10 feet away. Actually it has some type of helper springs on it that has a rubber bumper at each end of the spring. It does look like shackles though. I'm putting the Mopar XHD springs and KYB's on now. I'm thinking if I don't like the stance after that I might buy a set of front hangers from US Tool as they have a multitude of mounting holes to allow up, down and even fore/aft adjustments.

The first impression I get when looking at it is that the rear is stock height and the front is lowered, looks perfect, if anything, maybe an inch lower in back if it sits too high for you, but it really doesn't look like the back is jacked up, just looks like the front is lowered.
Please tell me what size rims and tires you have front and rear, thanks.

I put the Fatman drop spindles on the front so it's definately lower in the front although it should be lower but I'm having a little clearance problem with the wheel opening trim. If I had increased the backspace a quarter inch more everything would have fit perfect. I'm still thinking about what to do about that...
The front wheels are 17X8 with a 245/45 and the back is 18X9.5 with 295/45. I sized the tires to match the height of the 275/60 and 235/60 15's that I had on it before.
Axlerod, that is won badass lookin' '68. I am taking a liking to green chargers even more so after seeing yours.

Thanks! It's funny how that green can grow on you. I can't say that I used to be a fan of it but now after having this car for some years I don't think I would even consider changing the color.

Nice lookin' ride axlerod. I've always liked the greeens and not so common colors.
I like the stance just the way it is. A little low in front, but it's got a nice rake. :thumbs:
This seems to be the largest post I've ever seen, so I guess I should be the only one on the list NOT to post a pic :devil:

what kind of rims are those?.. that looks KILLER!!! :icon_smile_approve:
Dave, those are the new Am racing ARE 47's (repops)
I changed mine from when i got em and bought new BFG's and turned the raised white lettering out. Jim Shine had the more correct TV show version and I went for the new movie version. I/we thought it was a nice contrast at the shows we attended together. Jim Shine is unbelievable as far as knowledge goes when it comes to DOH(don't even test him). Matt is just wicked cool to listen to as well. He's so smart, and sarcastic, he cracks me up!!!!! I hope they get a chance to come back to the house to have some laughs(read that as beer) before they possibly move away. :-[
interesting how the shine flattens the hood, do you have any detailed pics of your push bar and it's mounting?.. any measurments and weight?. it's source (like where you buy them?) did you rattle bomb the interior?...source and measurements of the roll bar et?..
ya' know what i'd love to see?.. is a bunch of general lees in a decent photo shoot maybe with one flying over... :laugh:

As a new member here is my right of passage, posting a pic of my 20/20 Charger.
Welcome to the board Doc! :cheers: Love those rims.
I haven't had a chance to get any pics posted in a long time so here goes.
This is my 69 Sunroof Charger I picked up a few years back for $500 and drove it home! It needs a complete resto ...the usual quaters, trunk floor, driver side floor pan...you get the picture. Sorry the pics are poor quality but the best I have.
A couple more...and a couple of my 71. Would anyone be interested in a trade? My two Chargers for a complete restored 69???
More of the 71
We took these pics today.

What size tires you runnin on that GL?
They are 1970 American Racing Wheels (correct for the tv show). The previous owner had them professionally refinished and powdercoated. He spent upwards of $1500 on the refinishing. They are the nicest GL wheels I have ever seen. I believe the tires are BF Goodrich P245/60R15.
Hi all, I am new to the forum and wanted to post up some pics of my '70 Charger 500. It has the original 383 Magnum and 727 trans. I am the 2nd owner and purchsed the car in December 1998. The original owner originally purchased the car at Koller Dodge in Naperville, IL. He was going through a divorce and was wanting to sell it quick, so I got it for only $11,000! That was in the condition you see here, in fact most of these pics are from the day I bought it. It had 64,000 miles on it then and only 74,000 on it now. Most of the interior is original, as is the vinyl top.

What's up everyone. Here are some pics of my 73 SE circa 97 or so. It was a BRIEF period in which it was out side, :) I bought this charger a week before I turned 16. The 400 had already been replaced with a poorly rebuilt 318 which I promtly blew up. I put an A&A rebuilt 727 and 355 rear gear in it and then Rick Allison himself built the 360 that is in it now. I spent most of high school racing it and then decided to garage it and restore it properly in the late 90's. Unfortunately, life has a way of slowing the best of intentions. It's safely stored away in my sisters garage until I can afford to rent a place to restore it out here in NYC. Some day.......

Dave
Sorry for the late reply but i don't know where this bar came from. From what i remember I believe Danny Johnson(the guy i bought it from) has them made for him. I believe there is a longer version of this bar also made out there. The real person to ask on this would be Jim Shine as he would know correct dimensions measurements, etc... or he would know where to get the info most likely.
I did a quick google and found this site. Claims to be the exact measurements of a "real" GL. Take that with a grain of salt though.
http://www.buildagenerallee.com/genleebars.html
The interior was most likely rattle canned as it is not perfect. I assume you mean the dash and stuff because the interior was all recovered.
I'll post some pics of the interior in a second.
I declined the roll bar option just cause i wanted to be able to fit as many people that wanted to ride in there. His roll bar option was not like the shows, it was mainly a couple posts and stuff just taking up space.
I ain't doin burnouts just yet cause I need to get the mechanicals where they need to be before she'll light up, and i don't believe in power breaking. Besides i need a stouter gear. I stuffed an SG 3.23 pig in there over the summer, but feel i need 3.55 or better to get my desired result.
RD is building me a tranny and maybe when i get some more cash, i'll get another center with some better gears but for now i guess i'm semi happy. I still need to tune my carb though...DOH! change the cam, put in a gear drive(i like noise) blah blah blah, the list goes on. Someday i'll even redo the body and paint. General Lee again of course. But for now, he's a driver and lots of fun.

Damn there's some good looking Chargers in this thread! :drool5:
hi gang, i just found this site yesterday and that was i missed to get some information about the restoration of my 71 charger r/t 440
i began to read some topic and it's really interesting, i will keep reading and posting to get some information
here some picture of my r/t
its a originaly 440 auto, but the car was converted 4 speed in the early 70
this car was store in a barn since 1978 it has 65k on the clock, ecexpt for the rear left quarter, the rest is intact and very clean
my project is to restore it the closest originaly, but with some minor mods, like bigger brake, maybe bigger wheel too (i like the repro 17'' magnum 500) and some more power in the 440, but all of those mods can be reversible so i can keep this can as closest to what it was in 71
and sorry for my bad english, im a french canadian and still try to do my best with this second language

interior pics of my GL.
You got your GL from Danny? How do you like it? I have heard good things and some really really bad things. :-X The interior looks nice.
attention to detail and paint and body work. I'm not unhappy with the car but not saying i couldn't have done better if i had searched more(who knows, i had the money then and wanted it and talked to him and got a good vibe). I like Danny and consider him a very honest man, but if you are looking for perfection and a professional resto. He will tell you to go somewhere else and you will most likely pay for it. He will tell you he is a hobbyist and doesn't deceive. Read my posts on this thread below. I love my car but it is a driver. I'm lucky enough to hang out at my buddies body shop and eventually I will make the car right, but for now, i'm going to drive the heck out of it and work on the performance end first. I've since learned that mechanical is the most important aspect of a car. My car goes to shows and draws a lot of attention on the road. I let kids climb in it, take pictures in parking lots, it's a blast and I have a numbers matching 69, minus paint of course. :icon_smile_big: I have Danny Johnson to thank for that.
It's been a year and i'm sure his work has improved greatly over that year as well. He was breaking in a new bodyman(17 year old) and my car was his first one i think.

Basically the same from last summer after paint,sand and buffing,and front suspenion in.Had alot of other things going on,but now I am working on getting the motor and tranny together so it's ready to put in.
nice pics
BTW:
...according to the research i was able to do, those firestone firehawks are the best tire in tests...
there's another '69 commin along very nice indeed! :yesnod:
Thanks Brock,those tires were on it when I bought it back in 98,and yeh they did drive real nice.While I was doing the car the past couple years,I put them on my coronet to use so they don't sit around.

I've had six chargers and sold my last (attached) in '04, I have a 71 SSP now...so I question my eligibility for this site-But I still love 'em and could buy another if I get the bug bad enough. Hell, I love all things from Mother MoPar 'specially BBody's
Here's another first gen for you to look at. I've been working on my 66 since about 98 and hope to be finished ( well... I guess none of us are ever really finished ) sometime this summer.
that looks pretty trick. :yesnod:

Sorry, sometimes resizing takes its toll. Maybe this one will be better.
welcome to the site Sailpanel.
Your charger looks dechromed and smoothed is that right?..
im lookin at the fendertop and see no trim. and the bumpers look tucked...
Thanks, thats correct, no fender top chrome, rocker moulding, wheel well moulding ,badging etc. I know alot of purists don't like that but I think on some colors it actually looks better that way.

Heres my 68. Factory 383 4bbl 4 speed. These cars were made to thrash and this one gets plenty of it. Built it myself and had my best bud mark shoot it. Its nice to see other moparheads who actually race these cars once in a while instead of kissin' em good night.
Quote from: ScottW on September 25, 2005, 06:41:21 PM
I guess this is the customary first post thread. Here are a couple of my 74 SE.
:o :o :o :icon_smile_big:I'm inspired!Your my 74's role model. Mine is a 318/Torque Flight 150 mph speedo.
Here we go... my 69 bought last fall. Originally B3 Blue w/ black vinyl top, 318 and 904 tranny. Right now, no engine or transmission.. I plan to put a 383 or 440 under the hood with a 727 Torque Flight behind it. I was gonna paint it silver or black, but after seeing the B3 Blue with black top I fell in love, so it's going back to it's original color. I'm building my shop in May and haven't had any place to work on it since I bought it...I've been collecting parts here and there though until May. I can't hardly wait till summer. :icon_smile_big:
It's got real solid floors in it.

Nice looking project. :)
Here it is!!!!!!!!! My first 69 Charger!! It was stuck in the mud up to the axles! All 4 wheels were locked up, and Patrick had to winch it out to get it on the trailer! As soon as I get the paperwork sorted in a week or two it will be stripped down and sent to the media blaster! I'm SOOO proud!
:2thumbs: looks like a great start kripledbybuick. I bet you're stoked. Let the fun begin. :icon_smile_big: Chuck...................
Great save!! Hope to see more pics when you can, Congrads! ;D
here is one of mine, going to the resto shop soon for metal work, paint, suspension, and a new 440 :yesnod:

Here are pics of my 2 former Chargers. My first car was a red on red 66 originally a 361 2bbl auto. When I got it though it had a 383 in it. The 69 was a yellow on black se with #'s matching 383 4 bbl auto column shift 3:91 diff and cruise control (worked great) and leather. I now have a Coronet Raggy ;D

Here's a pic of my Charger, not quite finished yet, but gettin' there. I drug her home on a trailer back in May, and this is how she looks today. Should be on the road in a couple more weeks... Ironic since this Charger hasn't been registered for the street since 1978! ;D

Hi, from the Netherlands, here are some pics of my Charger, it's a matching 69 440 RT and under total restoration from scratch..
And this is one from the back.. it has powerbrakes/steering, columnshift, 3.23 SG in 8 3/4 rear and very rare combo scorch red/white hat !! :icon_smile_big:

Here are some more..when it arrived and some of the restoration of the door pillars, driverside floor section and innerfender support bracket (all metal sheet is handmade!!) Greetz from Jef
And a little more...
And the last few for now, I'll place more pics when I start with the rear end(it's been cut off completely, see picture)
The rear end is completely cut off....
Did you center-punch a street light? :o :lol:

Looks like you're doing a first rate job & I must admit, that's the first time I've seen a shell supported quite that way. :icon_smile_tongue:
You have to be inventive sometimes... ;D!!
This way I can turn the car completely around to work on every area I want in any position. It's cheap this way and easy and just before the car gets his paintjob I take out the streetlight and weld the last piece in ( yes, you've seen it right!!!)!!! :yesnod: :icon_smile_big:

whoops, sorry guys about the size..I'll try to make them smaller next time :ahum:
That's cool! Is that a factory bronze car? If so it's the first one Ive seen without a vinyl top. It has a white interior like mine too.
Troy
A bomb shelter ;D..that's a good one. I'm living in department building and that's the only type of garage that's available in this area(it's rented).
It's a MM1 car originally, although repainted. white interior without headrests. Btw, is the vinyl roof coded in the fender tag?
so, I should look up for V1 in the tag..Cannot find it, does this mean that it has been ordered without vinyl roof?
On a 68 tag you want to look for a number underneath the 'Y' to tell if you had a vinyl top. Yours does not.
You have a rear window defogger which is pretty rare, tinted windshield, console, buckets, AM radio, hood mounted turn signals, and a driver's side remote mirror.
Troy
Thanks Troy.
You're welcome!
Troy
Here's a recent one of mine...

If its decent I'll send you a free 24 inch poster of it if you get a board poster. I'd like to make one for myself and hang it in my rec room.

Welcome richRTSE,

Thanks. The black car started out as a triple green (F5), stripe delete, column shift car. During the resto, I changed the color, and added the stripe, console, and factory power window set up. The "project" is actually a 1970 Charger 500, 383 auto car. I'm in the process of making it a '69 500 (440/4-speed)clone. It needs quarters, driver's floor pan, trunk floor, etc. I've got just about all the parts, just need some more time and money (don't we all?).

REEEEELEY NICE 68 Looks like mine wants to look like!!!I like those dish mags, What are you running for exahust? Is that black or green?
It's a black on black car. Sorry but my digital camera is a cheap one so the photos aren't very good. I'm running 1 7/8 Hookers thru TTI 2 1/2" pipes. The mufflers are straight thru Dynomax units which allow me to idle around the neighborhood without rattling everybody's windows. But when I put my foot in it, the tuner crowd wishes THEY had a V8!
timinator,
What are the sizes of your front and rear mags?
Your car looks great.
Chris
I got the mags used about 5 years ago before SLT muscle mags started reproducing them. I believe they're INDY 15 x 8 in back and 15 x 7 front. I'm running BF Goodrich Radial TAs. 245/60-15 fronts and 275/60-15s rear. That's as wide as I could go without rubbing. I could use wider rubber in the back. A built 440 doesn't take much throttle to put the car sideways. It's fun though!
Heres my diamond in the rough...not for much longer though...

Skeletor!
Skeletor... still in the first trimester of rebirth, but progressing nicely :2thumbs:. The cross bracing/package tray behind the rear seat was cut out and missing (probably because the former owner wished they had purchased an El Camino to haul plywood with, but found the cavernous trunk and rear seat area of the Charger sufficient for this purpose). Now it is coming back stronger! The Driver side wheel house has undergone transformation

Progress has continued on the doors. The fenders have begun to take shape. After a blasting and with a little more work, the original trunk is a keeper. New rear skin coming soon.

Those little black specs in the grooves look to be all the particles left over after grinding. I have a lot of experience with those... :)

That is correct Troy. It looks a bit rough now (blasting does that to surface scale), but nothing that I think warrants a full pan replacement. I will never be fortunate enough to own a "survivor" car... that little trunk pan is a close as I'm gonna get! :icon_smile_big: Once it gets a quick skim and is shot... it'll look cherry.

Yeah, you are trying to get beat up here aren't you...LOL Nice car though (the new ones grew on me a while back, but hubby says they ain't real chargers so no way in getting one...I thought it would be neat to have our 68 parked next to an 06, but oh well)
Depending on what happens with the new Challenger, I plan on getting either one of those, or a new Charger in '08 to go along with my '68. I figured 40 years would make a nice pair of book ends for the garage :2thumbs:

I need to get me a '66 then. Seriously, in the future I am planning on getting an old Mopar to tinker with. Its not time for that right now in my 39 year old life. That day will come soon though. I am sooo looking forward to it too! ;D

I was one of the ones that hated the new Charger, but I grew to like it. No, it doesn't represent the old first, second or even third Gen Charger; but I still like it. I want an SRT8!!
Morning after driving 24 hours down and back to pick up my project. I was pumped! Sleep? Who needs it?!

thanks. as much as a perfect general lee replica is great, I think it's fun to to do a little customization, otherwise you end up with a replica and not much room to do anything new.

Well not much criminals here, they all froze to death..
Value here where i live, hmmmm let me see.
I think people would rather buy a new Suzuki baleno rather than pay me $20-30 000 ???
i have invested aprox $45000 in parts,$20000 for the car (too much)
Not to say painting and bodywork, aprox 2000 hours.
I know that i would loose money on this one, but it is a real nice car that handles well and look just the way i want it.
I DON´T WANT A NEW SUZUKI BALENO ;D

I bought it from a guy in arizona, I still have the black plate from california . I think he bought it and flipped it. I have never been able t verify if it's 1 of 1 or 1 of whatever. I have everything to put it back to original but the three speed and the shift linkage. I have the steering column , enigine, and the rest of the car is correct color inside and out. so if a guy wanted to it could be put back to stock. I just wanna get it done so I can run the crap out of it!!

OK! And here is one picture of mine... One from Las Vegas and one from snowy Sweden.
Does anyone recognize this car? Dodge Charger 1968 I bought it from Las Vegas in about November 2006.
I just thought it should be funny to find the owner before me. Thanks.
The car has a new home in Sweden now.

mopar67, that's a nice project you have. That's got to be a rare ride over there, especially the Ram Charger.
The grill cut in half with snow on one side is a really cool pic.

Thanks! And yes i saw it on e-bay to. Probably the second time... I bought it trough a used car salesman here in Sweden. (He is a big A-hole btw :icon_smile_angry: )
The engine is now in fine condition with new crankshaft, main bearing, and connecting rods...
And now I have translated some of the comments on my site to some kind of English. :hah:
(My site is updating about once a week.)
It's not a Charger but my 70 Road Runner. Imported here in the UK in May 2004 in primer and looking pretty sorry for itself. It was originally B5 blue and I painted it black. In the last few years I have rebuilt just about everything on the car. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this car. St. Louis built and probably spent most of it's life in that area, the last address was Granite City, just over the border in Ill. It's a 440, 4 speed air grabber car.

Here is my other baby. I know it's not a Charger, but I thought I would share anyway. ;) It's a 1976 Starsky and Hutch Limited Edition Ford Gran Torino. Ford was suppose to make 1000 of them, but they only made about 745. There are less than 100 left though. Here is the website if you want to see more. http://www.starskytorino.com/justin/index.html

The 74 Charger that my Dad and I went in halves on. I am thinking that once my Dart is back on the road, maybe putting some nice wheels on the Charger. Something like 15" Chrome Magnum 500's or Weld Pro Stars. My Dad said he would like to put the side "rallye stripe" on it.
Newest pics of my 69....(taken May 16/07)
Hey Hey The hood is on... That's some progress.
v/r
Mike
Actually, its been on for a while. I just havent had any recent pics of the front end because it was buried in stuff but I moved all the stuff, pumped up the front tires and dusted it off. :yesnod:
More pics of the Charger today:
Looks like the hood is still the original color? Sweet! Although i'm guessing you are going with the silver which will be killer as well...good choice.
v/r
Mike
Yea, the hood, the roof and the top of the driver's quarter panel by the gas cap still have the original T5 colour on it. About half of the trunk lid still wears the original colour also.

Here is my other baby. I know it's not a Charger, but I thought I would share anyway. ;) It's a 1976 Starsky and Hutch Limited Edition Ford Gran Torino. Ford was suppose to make 1000 of them, but they only made about 745. There are less than 100 left though. Here is the website if you want to see more. http://www.starskytorino.com/justin/index.html

Nice Torino---I used to work for a guy who restored and built the Starsky and Hutch cars. His was so SICK!!!! he had so much "extra" stuff...it would kick any car's ass. His grandpa worked on the set of the origianl show. I got to work around those cars day and and day out for a while and got to learn a lot about them....got pics of the interior?

In the years I have been a member here, I have never posted a picture of my car in this thread. I figured since I have new wheels, now is as good of time as any. I realize most people here do not care for the larger wheels, but I just had to have them. I am thinking of losing the wheel lip moldings, but not sure yet.

Here's my 67 that I've had for 17 years.
You know, those early Chargers look so much better in red.

Mario,
The fronts are 17X8 with 4.5" backspacing. The rears are 18X10 with 5.5" backspacing. The front tires are 245 45 17 and the rears are 275 40 18. The rears are not wide enough. I wish they made a 295 40 18 but nobody makes that size.

The car now sits on jackstands in my garage. So far I`ve got the seats reupholstered, console all restored, a dana 60 and new springs installed, 18 spline 4 speed all rebuilt and ready to install. I`ve still got a 71 440 to rebuild and hopefully by this fall it will be heading to the body shop.
This is how it looked when I found it 2 years ago. It was painted green over a previous b-5 blue paint job. It is originally a triple green car but will be a triple black bullitt clone when finished. Right now it has a pretty healthy 318 with an aluminum 4 barrel intake, erson cam, headers, and a 4 speed. After looking for decent 68 or 70 Charger for over 7 years I found this jewel less than 5 miles from home. I bought it, drove it home, cleaned it up a little and parked it on jackstands. I`ve been slowly picking away at it while waiting for my turn at the body shop.
(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j121/pepsparts/Im009165.jpg)
I like the green paint myself. Looks good right now. :yesnod:
Cody - we have seen your Charger many times and it looks nice indeed. That said, I would lay waste to anyone who put stuff on my prized posession. Let them know that dust is the only thing allowed, and that's painful enough. If you put the stuff on it, then chastize yourself immediately. Carry on...

Looks nice Bob. What did you do on it lately :icon_smile_question:
oBVIOUSLY NOT PUT ANY TIRES ON SINCE THOSE ARE 15 YEARS OLD OR SO. i ALWAYS LIKED THOSE TIRES. dANG CAPS LOCK!
It's a 71 SE. I ordered it while I was in Vietnam on Feb 28, 71 and picked it up June 7,71 when I got back. I planed on keeping it forever so I ordered a lot of options. It is a 383mag, 727, Suregrip, s-15 Rallye-Hemi susp, Air, All power-PS-PB-PW, Leather Buckets, Console, AM-Fm-Cassette w/ Mic, Rear defroster, Headlight washers, Variable wipers, Road wheels with 60's tires, 70 amp alt, Disc brakes, floor mats, Tinted glass, Headlight delay, Light package AO1, Dual painted mirrors, Tuff Wheel, and undercoating.
I didn't order the Sill moulding, Bumper guards, or the fender turn signals because I thought it looked cleaner without them. I haven't taken many pics of it with the digital camera yet.
I just found out last weekend that my cousin who use to be a big mopar racer in the 70's and 80's has a 69 Hemi Daytona body down on his farm and to him it isn't anything special. He sold the Hemi out of it and let the car sit. And the big question is, will he sell it. YES. He also has a superbee but I don't know what year.
Like I need another project. Right now I am working on restoring Sam Posey's #76 Challenger Trans am racer. I also have a Petty blue Superbird sitting at the shop but it is in nice shape but going to get a restoration that it diserves. It is a 440-4v, 4speed, White buckets, Dana. It might be the only one left like it. There was only 50 of the Petty Blue (999) cars made. Second rarest next to the Burnt orange mistake cars. (2 or 3 of them).

Let us know if you do end up with that Daytona. Being nothing special to him, does that mean the guy doesn't want a lot for it?
like my new bumper sticker? $3.26 on ebay.

Nice car! I like how you did away with the side markers.
the way i see it every car should have something "wrong" with it, for all the pureists to bitch about... :RantExplode:
Well I for one can't stand the '68 marker lights, but that's just me and that's why they are gone, plus mine as you can see it also has '69 seat covers and a '69-'70 console but that's the way I want it ;D :yesnod:, but 2 be put back together in a little over a month after the bodywork was completed, I think it turned out pretty good ;)

Me too, I also like it's current paint scheme. Are you gonna paint it something similar?
The lower black stripe will stay.
The black stripes on the hood will go.
There will be a black roof line stripe that will be added.
Colors will be fire red and midnight black.

that's exactly it Mr '67 what color was it/will it be?...
thanks for the details... good luvk wityh it's reannimation...
Mr. Gordo, I am especially fond of blue, and yours is pretty rare in that shade,.. looks very sweet indeed,..
my blue is a custom mix it was a dark navy blue to which a pint of red tint was added that makes it appear purple to some in bright sun light but a dark blue in the shade, at night it has often been called black...
i call it Blacklight Blue.. i'm not unhappy with it... after originally painting it Black in 1989,.. and trying to keep dust off it till the repaint in '99..
I have plans in the works for a custom paint in the next two years to do it up like a S.R.V. Stratocaster Guitar... as seen below..

No they were made out of fishnets, cereal boxes, rust, rivits, and mud from the previous owner. I also had the rear framerails, outer wheel housings, that rear sub frame piece, trunk extensions, valance panel, and corner pieces done. It was kinna like a sweater I started pulling the string on. :brickwall: :icon_smile_big:
The car has always taken great pictures, but up close you can really start picking on it. The previous owner also took it to some cheapy paint place to have the red sprayed on. They didnt prep the car in the slightest, any heavy traffic area on the car its starting to show that its made out of gold....or was painted gold originally. :scope:

When I was younger I had a Bronze/Copper colored 69 and my buddy had a 68 Gold w/black vinyl top,black interior ,that was one of the nicest looking cars I ever saw.If it was gold think about it.
Yeah, the code says it was originally gold. :2thumbs:

Naah, it was a console auto with a suregrip 3:23. I had it in storage for about 10 years straight while I owned it. Before I performed a rotisserie resto on it I checked the #'s and it had a HP motor out of a 69 Charger according to VIN. PO told me it was the original motor. Torsion bar sub frame had rust and the rusted rear quarters were overlapped with the new stuff. Stuff that didn't matter when I paid $2500 for it.
The new Charger is frowned upon here. I imagine they could have named it something else but it's only a name, IMO. When my wife gets out of school I imagine I'll have the purple one to replace my 300m, need the 4 door more than 2.
Check out my thread of the OSP running them down the quarter at the Oregon Nationals:

I dont have time to play the "its not a real Charger" games, its a 13-second, 150 mph V8/RWD car, end of story. Besides its my work car and its light years better than the Crown Vic it replaced. I doubt that "the Man" is gonna let me run it down the quarter, but lets just say, I need to know what the capabilities of my equipment are :icon_smile_big:
I dont think Ive been anyones hero before!
Now back to the pics. here are pictures of my fathers 1968 Hemi Charger he bought new in the fall of 1967

I myself believe that the new Charger deserves the name. Even if Chrysler kept the Charger without discontinuing it, it would look like this. A company has to evolve with the times. Ya can't argue with 13 sec 1/4 mile passses. I love the Charger. 4 doors and all. :drool5: Someone who knocks one apparently hasn't driven one.

Pics from today after the body work I did. You can see which areas I worked on due to the different shade of primer
River you have a BEAUTIFUL car! Anyways, I just finished up a summer semester at college so I decided I'd come home for the weekend. I took the Charger out for a drive or two. Only had the camera on one of them and I was losing the sun behind clouds everytime I wanted to take a picture. I also didn't get to hit all the planned spots because of surprise rain.

No, it was an option on '70 Chargers. J81 I believe. Mine didn't come with it originally. Here's another pic.

It's COLONEL
Thanks Wi. I really try to take pics of the car in some beautiful areas while trying to be somewhat creative...I'm glad to see that somebody appreciates it! ;)
A few very recent pics.
1st- The interior
2nd- I took out all of the parts from the trunk and interior and sorted them into boxes in the trunk
3rd- Engine
4th- After I pushed it back into the garage
Car looks good. :cheers: Now all you have to do is Git Er Done! :2thumbs: That's the hard part. :brickwall:
Yeah, cody stop playing with ur models and get 'er done. It looks good :2thumbs:
Thanks guys! I actually spent a few hours over the last 2 or 3 days doing body work so there is progress being made. Even though the body work is probally a waste of time because the shop will do it when we sell our house and can afford to send the car there.
Buying the car WAS the cheap part. I neglected to tell my wife that when she turned me loose to look.
OK, that wasn't my charger, but my wife is now not speaking to me, because i posted a 38 year old picture. I'll try to get the '68 charger posted that she let my sink our money into
Ok, this is my 68 Charger. It has a hot 383 in it backed up by a 4spd, and 4:10 richmonds with an auborn locker. Wife still isn't speaking
Super Nice :2thumbs:
whumpity,
Why don't you try to take the same picture with your 68, but now 38 years later... maybe she'll talk again. (make sure to post that pic.)
Also, a side note...as of Monday, the Charger is OFFICALLY MINE!!!! The registration papers now have my name! :woohoo: :woohoo:
Congrats! Cody...
whumpity... that car just looks evil :2thumbs:
yeah whump, i agree,.. your not gonna belive this but there's two other '68 chargers with that same hood, 'cept they are both silver...
:smilielol: great pics welcome to the club..

Thanks, well the torque thrusts were in horrible condition so I sold them and had black steel wheels on them for awhile.
My 68 with a 383 Magnum , the interior is all wrong...a new legendary interior is on the way! Pic of my 68s charger/cougar
Very cool! Always loved blue on Chargers!!!! :cheers: :2thumbs:

Nice looking Charger! The 383 one looks pretty solid too. Is it all there and just torn down or are you starting with a shell?
it a really good shell. most of it is laying in it, k member and front suspension, workable fenders and hood, and i have alot of parts i have accumulated over the years building the first one. main have to finds will be; glass, rearend, drivetrain, and some body work(done by myself), wiring and interior. it will be fun, just like the first one.
Welcome! mxcharger69,
Nice work, how long have you been working on her?

I hope that wing is a Halloween costume for the GL, because that is one butt-ugly car.
Oh no you did-int
:lol:, its an ok car...not my choice of wing colour but its his so he can do what he wants with it. Its all about what he likes...Im just a fan of the weird front fenders... :icon_smile_blackeye:

Well my 69 looks wayyy different now. It no longer has its grille, bumpers, front valance, tailights, back up lights, rear seat, headlight support and some of the trim. I took it all off!! :icon_smile_big:

Very nice and good job! Or as we say in Sweden "Najs" ;)
I'm new here as far as posting goes though I come to the site all the time. Anyway, Some very awesome rides are listed in this cool thread. I went through all 51 pages yesterday and was inspired to put mine in as well. Hope you all like it. The following are from last weeks gathering of the 1st annual, '71 Bee's and R/T's in Melbourne Fla. Hosted by JohnnyBee of www.71superbee.com. It was a cool event even if it was a small turn out. I know that it will grow as time goes on. John and his wife did an awesome job of hosting.
My car is a 440 w/Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, RPM intake, Edel. 750 Carb, Hooker Ceramic Headers, 2 1/2 in exhaust with Flowmasters 50 series mufflers, MSD coil and ignition box, Accel wires and plugs. A 727 trans with a GearVendors Overdrive and 3:91 gears.
I'm a MOPAR guy due to my buddy Troy.... no, the other one. He is responsible for my addiction going back to the 10th grade when he showed up at school in a '68 Charger that had some wierd custom paint job on it with some naked baby angels on it :smilielol:. It really wasn't till he got the thing painted that anyone would drive around with him :cheers: Since then though, I've been hooked. Damn it man! What have you done to me? :brickwall:....lol

68RT4ME, that's a sweet ride. I really like the clean A/C install. Your car looks a lot like Kori Alexander's, another beauty.
Naked baby angels, :o, ewww gross. I'm betting Troy has more than a few deep, dark secrets he doesn't tell us about. :D

Yeap, it's nice to know I have an influence on people, a lasting influence... :icon_smile_big:
Here's the '68 Charger no one would drive that I eventually "restored" to this condition and of which Andy later bought from me... So, we both owned this lil' jewel... The other cars in the picture are my '69 318 Charger and my first '70 six pack Charger R/T.
And for the record Mike, the baby's were lil' baby angels wearing loan clothes and holding lil' cupid bows and arrows.... :lol: ... Yes, it was a awkward driving in the car, but for $500 and a complete car, you're not going to complain...... This car made my 20-year high school reunions "top-10 things remembered for the class of '82".. another :icon_smile_big:
The pictures are about '81/'82.......
And here is mine -68 today 2007-09-01 (i am the -67 :icon_smile_wink: )

Here's some pix of Kori's (sixpack71) ride. He doesn't get on the message boards much anymore. If you want something done like the factory, no ones' better IMO.

Hey Denny, do you live in Oregon or is that just where your Charger came from?
Myself and the previous poster (472 R/T SE) live in the Portland area.
Looks like a complete project Denny, loving the wheels!
Oh, nevermind. I see from your profile you're in Geogia. Where did you get your car?

Brad
Bull, It was origionally from Gold Beach, Oregon? A family friend lived there off and on for a few years. He gave her to me in 88' and I have never driven her :slap: , I know it sounds stupid but it is my first car and the fact that it has never run since I got it might be the only reason I still have it. The tag on the back still has the 1986 sticker on it. Thanks Hemidog , I've always liked the cop wheels and found the little Dodge nut covers and had to have them. Anyone know what their off of? One of them is faded and would like to get one to replace it.

I haven't gotten it yet at this point, but here's what it looks like 3,000 miles away from me. 69 Charger RT/SE Thanks, Rob.
Looks great! did you buy it online?
Rob,
Post some more pictures! sounds like a great car, all steel R/T S/E for under 30K awesome! When will you get it?
Pat
Sounds like a great deal.....congrats. Hopefully there will be no suprises when you get it home.
I've tried to improve the photos and will try to do the old girl justice this time. Pictures are circa '80-'82.
Bought her in Colorado Springs from an auto body tech school student (he's the one who painted it orange with th C flag). Ad in the paper said 1969 Charger, 383 Magnum AT, $900. I had just gotten a re-enlistment bonus (Army) so I went to check it out (at night). Couldn't open the driver's door so had to climb over the console. Turned the key and ...fired right up. No lag at all. Drove it around the neighborhood and handed that boy the $900. Didn't even want to haggle.
This is a long story of a beautiful but ultimately tragic love affair. Maybe I,ll finish it sometime.
"...and she used to be mine."
Hey- I once WORKED with DukesuvHowardDAVE. He's a cool cat from Ballablama or Mizzurra or sumthun ! I heer he lyks pickin the Banjolaylie ! :scratchchin:
Here are my 2 toys. The 68 is getting a full resto(frame is done now) and the 74 is a ex-drag car that I am slowing turning back into a street brawler. The 74 used to run consistant 10.6's went the 500 wedge was under the hood. Now its a fresh 440 turning out around 435hp.
Sorry the pictures of my 68 won't attach....I'll try again when my daughter comes home, I'm not to fluent with how these computers work :shruggy:

The Colonel..isnt that the name of a members yellow 69 Charger?
I dunno...haven't been on the forum that long.
When I bought the car it was already orange with a flag. I wasn't especially fond of the paint job but I was too busy driving it to repaint it.
When I took it home (Missouri) everone made fun of it (until they went for a ride) and called it the "Dukes of Howard" for Howard County, Mo. So I started calling the car Colonel Quantrell after a guy that ran amok in Missouri and Kansas during the Civil War.

Different car. The Colonel one we are talking about was named for a different reason and is yellow.
Sounds like a nice car. I'd love to have a yellow '68 R/T.

I like the old school Keystones :2thumbs: It will look nice once you redo the quarters.
I like it. Looks like a great project. I'm curious though, are those 70 tail lights?
Who me? They are the 69 taillights with the chrome metal trim around each one. I think the sun is just reflecting the light on the tail panel emblem a little too much.

I like it. Keep those pics coming
:whistling:
Here is a pic of my new project. After quite a few years I finally have another Charger. :yesnod:
It will look good next to the RR.
Cool....welcome aboard. Looks like you gotta Bee too :2thumbs:
Thanks, yeah I have what is left of a Super Bee. It is just a shell, but it is in pretty good shape. Hardly any rust. Too bad I am better at collecting them than fixing them and getting it on the road.
Here's my beater 68
This was my very first car, 70 Charger 500, was 318 but had a 360, one black seat the rest white. It was light green and very, very rusty. I sold it to someone near Ft.Wayne Indiana and would like to see it again. Maybe own it once more.
Hello Everyone,
Here is a couple pictures of my 2 toys. I've already posted a couple of my 74, my 68 is a car that was turned into the General Lee in the 70's, parked in 82 and left for dead. I think these old girls need to be saved, so I'm slowly restoring it as money allows. It looks a little rough right now, but the entire undercarriage and frame is done, frame connectors and torque boxes installed. Also the taillight panel has been changed back to the correct 68 one. Hopefully next year start the ouside body. Cheers :cheers:
DAVE-WTF u mean by THIS statement? :icon_smile_blackeye:

Great read and a great find. I love the 318's. Do you still have it?
Yes, still have it. New member 2nd69charger's green Charger is the same car in the thread I posted the link to. His green 69 Charger and my red 69 Charger were owned by the same guy for 27 years.
Thought he might show up here one day.
Hi all, yes I am the proud owner of my 2nd 1969 dodge charger. The first one was a 1969 charger SE 383 4speed F8 green the bad news is when I sold it back in the late 70"s the kid that got it piled it up into a bridge. So you say that is why I wanted the green one. I have currently the new one stripped and have started the body work. It will be a 440 4speed car when done.

Tim, was that the one with the multi-colored body parts, like blue and green? Or am I thinking of someone else?
You're probably thinking of another car Bull. This one started out as a General Lee. It had a black fender and door. The driver's door is from a blue car and the quarters are from a yellow and red Charger. The local boneyard had 3 Chargers to choose from. It's my own little Frankenstein creation but seems to have turned out better than I expected. I did all the bodywork myself. I had no idea what I was doing when I started but figured I couldn't screw it up any worse than it already was.
I like the white 69 in the background of that shot

Ok. Your neighborhood looks similar to one another member lives in. It looks like wide-open plains with some mountains in the background and he has posted a couple times about forest fires up in the hills near his home.
Anyway, your car looks awesome. Kudos on the body work, it looks flawless from where I'm sitting. :2thumbs:
Hi here's mine. A 68 original Mini Charger funnycar. A roller now, but plans started on a vintage looking aluminum 500 KB, solid billet dual plug heads, 14-71 little field, with 3 rib bug catcher. Plan to run Alcohol, exhibition runs, and firing it up at local Mopar car shows. Trying to keep as original as rules allow, want to show how they looked and did it back in the sixties. This car is from Illinois, any one recognize it or know of any history or contacts please let me know. Check out the clear plastic bubble to cover injection scoop, I haven't seen that on any other car yet, hopefully a good clue as to it's origin. No names, numbers, or info found on car yet. Thanks Jim
Welcome to the group and good luck with that one. Are you planning to replicate a known car from back in the day or are you going with a retro styled look of your own?
Awesome project! :2thumbs: Please post more pic with the body up :2thumbs:
Hi Dont know yet. I like alot of old name cars. But I do like the flouresent orange colors they used to use. I plan to ad the mornal badges and emblems that a street car would have. Like a Larson camaro, or a Mickey Thompson cars, it has it all. I think that looks neat, and to have people stop and look for a secound and wonder if it's a street car, or track. I liked alot those older Camaro funnycars, if you tinted the windows they could have passed for street cars. I just want it to look exceiting, represent the old days well. Thanks for your coments. I'll post more pictures later. Thanks Jim
WOW! :scope:
interesting project for sure i've often wondered what an altered wheelbase second gen would look like, when ya' snap more pics please do a centered side profile shot so we can get a better idea of the altered proportions...

Mini? I assume it's narrower than an actual Charger, right?
Hi Here ya go. And the other persons question yes, MIni meant narrow Charger. Designed as a result of the first Hawwiian Charger getting airborne, and crashing. I saw fiberglass circles underneath where the marker light would have been. I guessed 68.

Hey do you remeber the little zingers cars. Look them up, you'll love them. Small replica fiberglass bodies, with rear engines, exhaust, wheels etc. They made abunch of them, then toy models to buy. There in the old magazines. I remeber vettes, tractor trailer, to name a few. They looked exactly like the old t-shirt like the pictures you posted. Your idea is good. I often draw them that way too. Thanks Jim

Too bad it apears to be PHORD powered.
i had that one as a kid, it was bright yellow, anyhow,.. i think your charger would look great like that...

Man, it's a small Mopar world sometimes. I know where your friend lives (over in the Kearns/W. Jordan area), from stumbling on his Charger one day a few years ago. The white one was in his driveway & I saw the back end of another poking out of the garage. That must have been your car before you got it. Pretty cool. :icon_smile_cool:

Hey all, this is my first post, and I just bought this 74 Charger SE. 360 2bbl, posi rear end, runs and drives too! needs a new alternator and a tune up though, its hard to start and the battery dies after about a minute or so of running.
It's my first project car ever so I hope to learn alot from this one. It came with alot of parts and a set of magnum 500's (need to be painted though).
here's some pics

Nice 3rd Gens guys! And nice wheels Daytona Guy! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
I've added some photos to my photo sight now that I finally got my car this morning. I put it on an alignment rack to keep it out of the way but here are some more shots http://public.fotki.com/drodg/ The car is virtually all orginal paint, interior, etc. The engine has been repainted with some non original chrome. It has 36000 miles on it and wow what a stunning car. Won't be driving it for awhile as the snow is a flying here in Indiana. Thanks
Like that 68 & Porshe :coolgleamA:
The 69 Coronet is a kinda survivor. It has 23K on it but paint was pretty scuffed and chipped so I had it repainted. The vinyl top and interior are all original. I haven't driven the Charger yet but the Coronet is one of the nicest driving muscle cars I have had. Thanks

It's interesting to me how a Coronet, a Charger & even the Plymouth B bodies can have a such a difference
between them even though they are essentially the same chassis, interior & options. I guess it's MoJo. They
all have it but in different ways. Hard to put a finger on it.
I'll be interested in your comparison between the Coronet & Charger driving experience when that day comes :popcrn:
I got the car just in time Friday nite. We got hit yesterday with about eight inches of snow. Love the Midwest in the winter.

Hello from snowy Russia!
Here is my treasure as it was found in small town, about 100 miles from Moscow. It seems to be the only 2 gen Charger in Russia :2thumbs: An overall condition is not so bad, regarding the 39 year age. In fact, the Charger "lives" in Russia (USSR) from 1980! Now I'm collecting parts for total restoration.

My 1970 RT SE with 71,000 original miles.
Paid $2,500 for it in 1981 and have made only a couple of minor changes to it since then. The sad thing is a couple of months later I had the chance to buy another one exactly like it for the same money and I turned it down. :-[
Where are you located? There is a guy here locally that had one here just like that. (NC) Btw...Nice car!!

Hey HazzardJohn, yeah that's my car at Dukesfest. Nice pics btw, I saved them. The painted front bumper wasn't my idea. When I was contemplating a General Lee, my freind Pete, aka "Chargervert", suggested I paint the front bumper rather than spend a small fortune re-skinning the front end. He has a 69 front clip I may still buy from him for future use though, but for now the painted bumper seems to do the trick. I don't think I would have done a 70 as a General with a chrome bumper; I don't really care for the look. I think I converted another 70 Charger guy to the painted bumper idea that weekend. Are you going to Dukesfest next year? Supposed to be in Nashville.
Im doing a death proof replica type car and it will have the front bumper painted to match the body color. It looks great on your car! Id keep the 1970 clip on there. Because with a 1969 clip on there it will look like everyone else's! Nice car!

:iagree: :yesnod: any more pictures/ info on how it come to be in Russia :popcrn:
remembering seeing a 69 charger on cars in barns in poland :scratchchin: makes you wonder where & how many chargers are spread through out the world
No kidding, that sounds like there just has to be an incredible story behind it. Something you'd see on one of those automotive "reality" shows or something. Send in Dennis Gage.
Here is pic of my '68, still looking for info on "Lease Car" on my brodcast sheet, Thanks, Rich
Okay, guys, here is a short facts:
This Charger was sold new in Paris, France, the first owner was female yachting specialist), she use it for yacht towing (!). (Charger has a towing mechanism at the back). In 1980 she sold a car and Charger goes to Russia. The local owner repainted it silver and drove it for fun until his death in 1994. Since then a car was sitting in a garage till I'm luckily found and bought it.
The specs are:
383 2 barrel engine
Bendix power disc brakes
Power windows
3.23 Sure Grip
Y4 Gold Metallic (originally)
and so on...
I even found a build sheet under the front seat! It says that Charger was built for "export specification"; the car has "KPH" speedometer ::)
P.S. Feel free to ask about car)
P.P.S. Who is Dennis Gage? Any links?
That speedometer looks cool :D
http://www.myclassiccar.com/
I wonder what it would be like to try to find one of those speedos today.
Dennis Gage hosts a show in North America called "My Classic Car". There are a few programs similar to his but that was the first one that popped into my headf as I was typing.
http://www.myclassiccar.com/
First speedo ive seen like that,i wish my car had one as Australia changed to KPH from MPH. It would mean i wouldnt have to do the coversions in my head as i come up to all the different speed zones.You have a great looking car their.
:cheers: thanks for the info ( Chargerus ) :yesnod: , intresting car with a KPH speedo , looks in real good condition from the pictures , considering all the bad weather you guys have over there :yesnod: , had a idea it might be a export car , when i saw that id plate rivited on the left front grill frame top plate :scratchchin: hmmmm whats that say on there chrysler/ simca of france or something :scope: .

You're absolutely right - id plate says "Societe des Automobiles Simca" ::)
Condition is good only at first sight, - virtually all the mechanicals are need to be repair or replaced. The car came without right front caliper, window regulator (lost), although the body is quite good (but not straght) and the car is almost complete and original :2thumbs: (In soviet years many rare cars owners often swaps original parts for russian or other cheap analogs) :icon_smile_angry:.
Photos speak for themselves: rust behind the door; the engine rebuilding
P.S. You know, all the parts needed are coming from US, it's a little bit expensive and takes time. The restoration just began...

Those KPH speedo's are not to easy to find.I came across two in the last 25 years.Passed on the first one ,but was a little smarter and bought the second one.
A little trivia about them, the odometer wheel rotates the opposite direction of an MPH unit.

could be :yesnod: i for get there was two export hemi cudas convertables out of france , one was winchester gray metallic , the other was white . the gray one was at the mopar Nat's in Columbus a few years ago , still wearing its french licence plates
hmmmm how many chargers were exported , i doubt it ,its something we will never know , unless there some old dealer records somewere in france :shruggy: , just had a thought , i wonder if the wrecking yards over there , have got any in ;) as not many would be intrested in parts for them years a go & still have them there , well a bit far fetched i know . challengers & barracudas were also part assembled in belgium :scratchchin: might have a few in their wrecking yards :scratchchin: although the local Mopar owners clubs might of picked them up :scratchchin:

Man, so many Charger quarters cracked right there! Including mine! Wonder why. . .
:scratchchin:. Mine has more rust there than cracks
HEY! MINE CRACKED THERE TOO. I thought I was the only one....................guess not!
We should start a club. The club for "guys with cracked quarters" :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
i got a cracked quarter also, i leaned on it and it snapped the welds or whatever that keeps it together.

Been lurking around the forum some time, so its time to register and say hi.
Here is my -68, gonna restore it alot and change color.
I just got it from Los Angeles and it is in a very nice condition.
The original color was gold, then it was painted blue metallic and then red with a Black Sabbath decal. :rotz:
Im really curious about this cars history, but well, now its mine and the cragar rims stays. :2thumbs:
This one now resides in Sweden.
(Also, the pic in this thread from norway with the black -68 in the cloud of burnt rubber rocks!)

Cool. I love Black Sabbath.
Here's some other pics of mine, don't have many sadly, because I took them with a normal camera (film) and don't have a scanner. The last one is with the front valance, bumper and grill off. (box on top is a new front valance.

Do you live in Woodinville WA? I live in Redmond. I did see the black 68 one time driving
through Woodinville 2yrs ago, at least it was a perfect match.

Recently joined this site. Looks like a great place to hang and get some great information. Below is a pic of a project my son and I have been working on. (it will be his car). We've done all the work ourselves. Just putting on the finishing touches.

Nice car :2thumbs: and color combo. Can you tell us a little about it,like what motor etc... :icon_smile_big:
It's a real R/T 440, 727. I found the car sitting in a field in Alabama, along with a '72 Big Block Road Runner. Picked them both up for $1500.00 (about 4 years ago). The motor is 30 over, zero decked, forged rotating assembly, edelbrock heads and manifold and a 780 holley. It should be pretty quick but streetable. You can check out more pics, as well as my other cars on Motortopia at the link below. Thanks for looking!

Yes that is me. Both the black one and the current one are from Woodinville. I actually work in Redmond and and occasionally drive it in. We will have to keep in touch and take a little drive sometime!
Nice ride by the way. Must keep them low to keep them happy! :cheers:

He's 25 now....I dragged it out a little til he got old enough and not kill himself, or someone else. He helped me on my other car (70 'Cuda) but he had a lot more hands on stuff on this one. I think if you do the work yourself (if able) it gives you more self pride. He's learned a lot during this build. The next one is all his. Of course, I like keeping my hands dirty!

Man. you really cleaned things up. Time to start working on that beautiful car. Sorry to hear your dad lost interest. Maybe once you get going on your project he'll get back into it.

Thanks Sublime69......My son picked the J5 and I'm glad he did. I haven't seen many Chargers around with that color, at least not around here in middle Tennessee. I used a tan colored primer and it really makes the paint pop in the sun. I appreciate the comment. Yours looks great too.

Been trying to get it on the rotiserrie. But apparantly Whirly Jig "forgot" to send me the rear mounting bracket. They sent me some kind of "Stiffener" but I have no idea how to get the rear attached. I wanted to take a pic of it on the rotisierrie and post it here...
Their directions and video are about as horrible as it gets. I'm sure someone with some "know how" would figure it out with no problem, but for someone like me that has no experience in automotives, it's a mind boggler.
As soon as I finally get it up on the rotiserrie I'll take some pics. :icon_smile_big:

Sounds good to me! And good luck with the rotisserie. Don't worry, I wouldn't know what I was doing either! :P
IT's really annoying cuz they could have easily just sent me the right type of bracket, but they sent me two different sizes of the same kind of bracket (front mounting). I don't know if I'm suppose to "modify" one of the pair to fit the rears or what. Don't know what would have been so difficult in just sending a pair that already "fit".
Plus there's other parts of their directions that are sketchy. It says to put the car on jack stands about 18"-20" off the ground. Then it says the front mounting brackets have to the the same height off the ground as the rear mounting brackets. Problem is if I have the car 18-20" off the ground then that will put the rear mounting brackets about 4" higher then the front mounting brackets.
The guy did a video of them putting a 69 charger on their rotiserrie but he didn't bother filming anything from the back of the charger. He just says "The rear is done the same way" but it's not done the same way. For all the money I paid for that darn thing, I'd expect a little more effort out of them.
The product itself looks very sturdy and top quality, but all the parts needed to get it going aren't ready to go from the start and their directions suck.
/end rant.
Anyway, hopefully I'll get ahold of them tomorrow and get this squared away. Problem is I bought the Jig over a year ago so if it's a simple matter of them not sending the correct rear bracket then I'm probably going to have to buy a new pair. :eek2:

I got one from auto twirler. The front mounted right up by just drilling some holes. I had to make the back brackets. Could be the same senario? Let me know if you need some pics.

Yeah I have to drill out the back brackets and attach them together to form the rear brackets.
Pics would be appreciated to make sure I don't screw it up when I drill mine out. :D
By the way, the customer service (on the phone) at Whirly Jig is as good as it gets. I didn't catch the guy's name, but he was extremely helpful and very friendly. Told me to call anytime 24/7.

IT's really annoying cuz they could have easily just sent me the right type of bracket, but they sent me two different sizes of the same kind of bracket (front mounting). I don't know if I'm suppose to "modify" one of the pair to fit the rears or what. Don't know what would have been so difficult in just sending a pair that already "fit".
Plus there's other parts of their directions that are sketchy. It says to put the car on jack stands about 18"-20" off the ground. Then it says the front mounting brackets have to the the same height off the ground as the rear mounting brackets. Problem is if I have the car 18-20" off the ground then that will put the rear mounting brackets about 4" higher then the front mounting brackets.
The guy did a video of them putting a 69 charger on their rotiserrie but he didn't bother filming anything from the back of the charger. He just says "The rear is done the same way" but it's not done the same way. For all the money I paid for that darn thing, I'd expect a little more effort out of them.
The product itself looks very sturdy and top quality, but all the parts needed to get it going aren't ready to go from the start and their directions suck.
/end rant.
Anyway, hopefully I'll get ahold of them tomorrow and get this squared away. Problem is I bought the Jig over a year ago so if it's a simple matter of them not sending the correct rear bracket then I'm probably going to have to buy a new pair. :eek2:
I got one from auto twirler. The front mounted right up by just drilling some holes. I had to make the back brackets. Could be the same senario? Let me know if you need some pics.
Yeah I have to drill out the back brackets and attach them together to form the rear brackets.
Pics would be appreciated to make sure I don't screw it up when I drill mine out. :D
By the way, the customer service (on the phone) at Whirly Jig is as good as it gets. I didn't catch the guy's name, but he was extremely helpful and very friendly. Told me to call anytime 24/7. Of course I won't do that, but it's good to know he stands behind his product enough to provide that kind of service.
I will try to post some pics tonight when I get home :2thumbs:
Heres my 73 almost finished after 15 months of resto...

QuoteHeres my 73 almost finished after 15 months of resto...
WOW! What a car! Did you do away with the bumper fillers? What color is that!
I did away with the front bumper filler, the rear is still there, The color is sublime I wanted to go with a 71 color to make it more of a Bee clone but Sassy grass was the closest they offered in 71. I went back and fourth between sassy grass and sublime, then I had a photoshop of my car done in sassy grass with some different stripe options and Bee emblems, on the photoshop thread on here. That was what I liked best.

he wants it medium metalic blue with white or silver stripes down the hood and deck lid . He also wants to put the big hood scoop on it 66-67 style. But who knows he changes his mind all the time.

I dont see pics? :shruggy:
can anyone tell me why everytime i try to post a pic it tells me its to large of a file?Its one pic of my charger?Help
What you wil lneed to do is resize the photo. What I do is, when you open the pic on your computer click edit then click copy. Then open the paint program. When the paint program is up you need to click the button that says Paste. After you have done that the picture should be on the paint page. Then while looking at the picture on the paint program there will be a bunch of words at the top of your screnn go throught them until you find the one that says ( sceth/Scew) once you click that then you can down size the picture however you big or small you want.
Hello fellow hot rodders, been a long time, my first post in four years.
Had another screen name back in 2002 thru 2004, can't remember it.
However I do remember all of the help I received during my build from members of this board.
Special thanks to Chryco Psycho and Charger Andy for the tech guidance.
I bought the car, a 383 2BBL Auto, back in '02 from the original owner and family friend.
The 383 now a 389 is B&B with Hughes Engines Stage One heads and a HE2330 Cam.
We've blown away MX-7's, GTO's, Stangs and even an E-500 on I-55 in St. Louis.
Headed to Steve McQueen Days in Slater, MO on March 29th.
They are honoring the 40th Anniversary of BULLITT in the childhood home of McQueen.
Fire up your Chargers and I'll see you there.

SF-CHSE:
I grew up near Slater (13 miles east in Glasgow). Even got thrown in the Slater jail one night. If you have a little extra time, take a run over there and see where the drag races take place in the river bottoms. Miles of straight two-lane blacktop. A little farther east and/or south there's lots of hills and curves. Hwy 87 south from Glasgow to Booneville was a serious race track back in the day. Lots of gravel roads around as well, but probably not a good idea in your beautiful Charger.
Great place to learn to drive! Hope you have a great time!

I just realized that I have not added my newest Charger to this thread. It is a 1968 383-4 bbl 4-speed numbers matching beauty. The color was originally B5; I may go back to this after a few years of cruising, but definitely before my daughters High School Graduation, class of 2018 (she wants to go to her graduation it the Charger). That's my girl! :2thumbs:
P.S. These pics were taken last week at the DMV (it had to be inspected as it was an out of state car).

I just realized that I have not added my newest Charger to this thread. It is a 1968 383-4 bbl 4-speed numbers matching beauty. The color was originally B5; I may go back to this after a few years of cruising, but definitely before my daughters High School Graduation, class of 2018 (she wants to go to her graduation it the Charger). That's my girl! :2thumbs:
P.S. These pics were taken last week at the DMV (it had to be inspected as it was an out of state car).
I like the look of the 68 with the rim color matching the car's paint, with those hubcaps, can't remember what they are called, nice car.

Car stands out nicely Nacho!
Here's my 69 R/T SE. It's hard to get a good picture of it so these will have to do...for now.
Nice car. What kneck of the woods are you from?......looks familier?
Only a driver at the moment, will start the restore when i gather more cash.
Some very nice cars in this thread, def gives me some more motivation...only 19 and i can see im going to be in the hole for awhile with this money pit...its well worth it.

looks pretty restored already, nice shape, cool looking charger, keep it between the lines, have fun :2thumbs:
Thanks guys,
Pictures do it a bit more justice. If you look at the car up close it has the usual bondo on the quarters and rockers, also the rear bumper was poorly re-chromed and needs to be replaced (rusted and peeling in places), interior is in OK shape...the usual for a car its age. Originally a 318, years ago someone swapped it out for a 400. Its got bucket seats and rallye gauges, auto slap stick 727. Engine is tired, but she still gets up and moves.
My goal is to get all new rubber for the front end, stroke the engine (470), rebuild the tranny, get a posi rear, and then worry about the body and the interior.
The70RT -- I'm near Indianapolis, IN . I've never really had the car out too much but it does look like some other guy's cars on here. It's back to it's original B5 but was a real dark blue when I bought it out of Illinois.
frankie...
sweeeeet pics bro!! that better be at the car show!!! or i'm gonna have to have a talk w/ slider!!!! lol
-john
Man...car is REALLY not ready for a show, but dont want ya to take it up with pops. Let me machine compound it this weekend, if it comes out good ill consider taking it to the show. Also want to have a new rear bumper at the least.

damn skippppy son!!
DAWG!!! lol
just a LITTLE O.T. here?
Sup guys, just joined this site (wish I found it earlier, lots of questions I had are answered on here lol).
A little background info: I'm 17 from Cali and a 1968 charger is currently putting a whole in a my wallet.
Here it is as I got it. The only thing missing was the carpeting, the rest of the interior was there. It drove...sorta...and stopped...barely...none of this it did legally but it did it never the less :icon_smile_big:
(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7662/recentchargereditip6.jpg)
Right now Ive got it stripped down to just a bare shell. Ive got 98 percent of the rust problems patched.
It has a 440 with a 727. Just got a pair of hooker ceramic coated and tuned headers off of ebay and a Multi-point fuel injection system for it.
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6762/dsc06056my2.jpg)
:2thumbs:
Future plans include rack and pinion kit and a Air Ride Technology suspension system on it, along with disc brakes.
Oh and Ive had the car for about 6 months...ish. lol.

I couldn't resist with everbody putting up pic's now, so here is my orange 69. I know it's done up as a
GL, but the black one is in the process of being painted and is not ready for pictures yet. This one has the new HEMI stroker in it. Sweet car anyway!
You have a very nice GL. I would be very proud of it. I have a GL and a numbers matching 318 904 68 charger that I would never seperate for a 440 or Hemi transplant. I love both worlds, originality and us GL lovers.

The Charger is an R/T with Disc brakes and that is about the only option.
The other is a Jaguar XKE Roadster.

When we got this one the drive line was long gone. It even had a chevy six cylinder rear in it that I guess somebody put in there just so it would roll. Anyway with it's heart missing it was the perfect blank slate, then came the Hemi, the 4wdb's. the dana 60,and all the goodies to push this big ole thing around the road like it should be. :drool5:
Not a Charger, but here it is!

Beautiful! I don't get it though! How do all of you other 17 year olds and around that afford that shit?! I work over 40 hours a week and my only bills are phone, gas, and insurance and I am still barely scraping by on the Charger, and it's got nothing fancy either! :RantExplode:

Hahahaha....I was wondering the same thing!!!! :cheers:
Now....about that Airride...... :shruggy:
Two jobs plus living at home for the win!
Ive been saving (and looking) for a car since I was 8, plus I spent 2 summers when I was 13 working under the table for a local private airport. I saved everything I made from that job.
Now most of my classes are at night and one of my jobs I take home from the office.
I lucked out by having a friend thats a certified mechanic which was a big help too.
Is there a problem with an air ride setup that I'm not aware of or is that just a personal preference coming through lol?
Hear is my baby; thought it would look good on this page(71)! :icon_smile_big:
WOW! :drool5: That's nice! Love how you did the S/E emblem :2thumbs:

Going with a 4" cowl hood to clear the carb.
Just painted it over the weekend. Did it myself on a thin dime. I used the Duplicolor Paint Shop System line of paint. in about a month I was going to polish it down a little.

I will try and get photos up in a few days. Its been raining now for 3 days non stop. After I got the black down, I said, "I should have went with yellow and not red' I think yellow would realy bring out the body lines better. But I am happy with it.
Brand new to the forum here, and I already have got a bunch of ideas from you guys, theres tons of good information here. Heres just a few pictures of my Charger, including one of the freshly rebuilt engine, that I just finished putting in earlier this year.

Welcome to the site! Thats a good lookin '68 :cheers:
New Member, Thought I would post a few of my 68. I finally have a garage, at the new house, to start the work. I've been reading posts in this forum since November of 06, but didn't want to post the car until the work was about to begin. Alot of knowledgable members on here, glad I found this forum.
This will be my first resto of a Mopar... Many of my friends always had Mopars :flame: and I had the GM muscle. I've always wanted a Charger since I was a little kid. I can finally afford to build a Mopar, It's my turn. :D
man I would love it if my charger was one color...
Good luck on the project, what do you have planned for it?
Here is a side view of the black and red. I still have not had time to polish out the red so dont grade me on it yet.

I dont have my front bumper on yet. it looks naked without :) I will slap it on this weekend and get some better photos of the front for you.
Finn,
The plan is to make a Plum crazy exterior with black bumble bee strip and white interior. The car came with a 440, but was originally a 383.
Thanks Hutch :cheers: Cool car: Great color scheme. Nice ride height. Wheels look great.
Cowl hood???? Lookin forward to more pics!!!!!

Well, my 440 with double quad carb setup needs air, It was the best hood option I could go wtih and give it lost of room for intake.
The winter makeover was completed today! I think this one will be a love it-hate it scenario. :P I predict Jackson will love it though. First a before picture. I actually really like the old wheels, so I'm keeping them around. Maybe I should put the black vinyl top back on?

Here's mine before I tore it apart for resto.

I think the Black top would be better with the white stripes. But with the blacked out wheels and black stripe. It looks cool the way it is :Twocents: :cheers:

Ooh you're damn right! I love it! I still keep going over the fence and back about the old beaterish look with some mags or the look like you have. The only thing that has me on the Bassett's (or any new wheel) is the cost, but I love the 70's look as well as the mean as hell look, and black wheels definitely seal the deal there. I love the red pinstripe on the Bassett's though, that just gives it the extra something!

Thanks BROCK,
I ordered the rims from wheel vintiques ph#(559)-251-6957 back in 2003. They are magnum 500, front 15x7 with a 4 1/4 back spacing if had it
to do over again i would of went with 4" bs so i could have full adjustment of my torsion bars without comming close to touching my steering linkage.
Tires are mickey thompsons indy profile F70-15 from summit racing part #MTT-1052.
Back are 15x10 with 5" bs. tires mickey thompson indy profile H50-15 from summit racing part#MTT-1074.
wheel vintiques can make any width with what ever back spacing you want. You can use my spacing but I would still measure out your car to make sure
they fit. the first comment I get on my car is how bad it sounds, Second is the paint, third my tire and rim combo. It does look tough in the pics
but even tougher in person. Any other questions send me a message
Thanks Tick68 will do :cheers:

Just dawned on me that I have a couple pics of chargers that Ive lost track of. Figured here would be a good place to post to see if anyone knows of what happened to them.
(http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/1903/copyofp1010229hw3.jpg)
this one my friend took pictures of for me, (Ive got more, including engine/interior pictures)
It was for sale at 3,800 obo. If you cant read the windows its a 1966 383 with a 4 speed, which according to them is rare...I wouldnt know.
They had this 318 barracuda for sale at ?2500? as well:
(http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/3407/p1010218kn5.jpg)
This one I know is restored as Ive seen it around town. Last know location is Newhall/Santa Clarita CA.
It WAS for sale at 12,500 back around 2004ish? saw the sign laying in the seat but they never called back :-\
Last time I saw it, it was driving around with a restored with a fresh coat of the same color paint.

Finally, got the Charger completed and back on the road. A few more minor details to finish up but we've got her out cruising. It's been in two shows the past few weeks and took second place in both. This car is wicked fast, pushing over 500 ponies.
love it

I think he was referring to them being all over your car instead of on the floor or something. Kinda seems like an expensive flower pot of you ask me. :smilielol:

If you look closely, they're not on the car, they're hanging from the garage door track. Several feet away from the car.
Ahhh. Well that makes more sense, but hard to tell from the pics. I do believe that is what he was referring to though. :cheers:

Goodz, none yet, my house took some of the time and funds set aside for the car. I've been slowly aquiring parts for it, work will officially start this summer! Correction on the date, that pic was 3 years ago when I bought it. Going to buy floorpans at Carlisle this summer, maybe more.
Thanks keepat!

NICE '73! :drool5: :2thumbs:
Feel free to check out my third gen only forum too :yesnod:
thanks guys! and i'll check out that forum, I need all the help I can get, as I'm not mechanically inclined (but learning).
Always been a fan of muscle cars, specifically mopars and even more specifically, chargers. always wanted one. Always talked about "wouldn't it be nice" and "what ifs" with a friend of mine and last year I said screw it and made it happen.
and I've had my heart set on a '73 charger for a long time and everything aligned just right. Maybe I should to an introductory post telling my story or something.
But yes, any tips on proper care, anything, however simple it may be, would be absolutely welcome.

I am procrastinating for finals... so I made some pics for you guys.
last of them
When did this thread turn into "Professional Car Photography 101"? LOL. I'm not complaining, just mostly jealous that my car isnt finished and that I cant compete with these pics. :(
No need to compete. Is that an SHO taurus? I got a buddy with a black one. Its got some power but nothing too extreme
Yeah... 1998, I bought it last year for a good summer car, now I'm selling both the Jeep and the Taurus to make room for a new car.
It has been a very fun car, your right, not a tremendous amount of power... but I've left some ricers at the starting line with their jaw dropped :D
whats the new car going to be??
i think i have it down to 3 choices
2006 monte carlo with a 3.9, (242 horsepower)
2007 saturn aura xr (252 horsepower)
2006 charger sxt (255 horsepower)
a dealer has a 2004 GTO on the lot, 22,000 miles for 15,900... but i really need something with warranty... tempting though
probably shouldn't highjack this thread though... back to the chargers
Not Chargers but pretty close.

Guys, Thanks for your comments. The interior is pretty rough, I'll post pictures later. I'll be looking for alot of advice as this project moves along.
Welcome to the site. Nice car. I'd hardly call that one a project. Only suggestion I have is change your rims. :cheers:

Long way? man you have a hot ride. You are more than 3/4th the way to the finish line.
Here's a pic of my 74 when I bought it on 7/3/05.
Appears to be in excellent shape but looks are deceiving. Both outer half rear wheelhouses, lower trunk extensions and the underside of both rear sections of the rocker panels are rusted out.
Now its completely stripped down and being restored. Hope to have it ready for paint late this fall.

Nice job so far. One suggestion from someone who went through it the hard way...
You might wanna coat and/or paint your master cylinder before it rusts to hell from humidity and such. Just a friendly suggestion. This was mine after 3 months of being outside...

Nice pic. When I first looked at it I thought, "What the hell is that huge mirror doing on the Camaro?" Then I realized it was a chair in the background. Funny how it blends right in.
huge mirror. LOL
Last time it moved under its own power was 1991(?) :'( It was moved around from my old driveway, backyard, friend's field, the wood's at my current house and finally into my current shop. Restoration in progress, not full-blown, just safety issues to get it back on the road. I do have a 440 block at the machine shop and a stroker kit from 440source to assemble.

I am pretty new here, these are the only pics I have on my Computer here at work. 383/A833/8.75. It's a heap that needs everything gone through, but you gotta start somewhere. I just got it last fall but have had my Challenger for about 7 years.
One more
I have dreams of a Mr. Angryish redo. Plan of attack is repair all the rot in the frame and floors, subframes, torque boxes, XV Level 1 suspension and 4 wheel discs. Along with going through pretty much every system on the car.

Well , thanks for the coments about my Polara RT. Im from Buenos Aires , Argentina . This body style was manufactured exclusivelly in my country from 1970 to 1978 ( the RT version was released in 1974 and discontinued in 1977) , there was also a 4 door version which was built in Spain too, but 2 doors were built only here. You have a great forum!!!! , I love Chargers , specially the `68-`70 models , sadly they are almost impossible to find here , only three of them are known to exist.
Here I leave you some more pictures of my ride.

Those wheels are aftermarket steel units , they are made by "Spina Ruedas" here in my country, this model is called "Rayo". They are in 14 x 7 front and 15 x 10 rear , fitted in Cooper Radials ( 235 -60- 14 front and 275-60-15 rear). You like em?. The bolt patern is the same of any '66 A-Body manufactured in the states.

I really like those South American Mopars! They look all "Frankenstein-y" with mix and match pieces-parts...Dart/Valiant tail lamps, Charger fuel caps, quarter panels from other stateside discontinued Mopars...I'm not saying that's fact, but, I've always thought that...same goes for the Aussie Mopars...very cool....check out the Australian Charger videos on YouTube from the 70's...
...that red Polara is awesome; those rims are kick-ass, and the Coopers look great! Welcome, both you guys!!

Thanks. No General Lee here. It's not that I don't like the way the GL cars are done, it's just not my style :coolgleamA:. I mean no disrespect to the GL owners out there, I just prefer to have people see the car as a Charger, instead of hearing "look, its the Dukes of Hazzard car"
Here is my 1971 Dodge Charger SE.
Original big block car, a/c, leather bucket seats, 150 mph speedometer, slap stick auto transmission, disc brakes, black vinyl roof, hide-a-way lights, Magnum 500 wheels, Gun Metal blue exterior/interior.
Bought from original owner in 1985.

Currently the drivetrain is a '71 440, 30 over, six pack rods, virgin 906 heads, 268/454 lift cam, Torker II polished manifold with a Painted Holley 750 metering block vacuum secondary & chrome bowls, Weiand air cleaner, MP electronic ignition, Acell coil, Taylor Wires, chrome Moroso valve covers, Hooker headers into a stainless steel exhaust w/ polished Supertrapp mufflers. Polished stainless steel firewall, lots of chrome, ie hood hinges, brackets, alternator ect, & stainless steel hoses. Custom polished brass radiator cover. A TCI 3 speed street fighter transmission, custom shifter, GER 2800 stall converter, Cheetah reverse valve body, deep cooling pan. Front disc brakes, heavy duty sway bar with polished stainless steel brackets, 90/10 Competition Engineering shocks. 8.75 489 case posi rear with 4:30 gears. Weld pro star rims & Mickey Thompson Sportsman pro tires, MP leaf spring relocation kit, custom subframe connectors, Jaz 20 gallon fuel cell in the trunk along with the battery, & custom crushed blue velvet. Holley electric fuel pump.
Marc Cross power black leather bucket seats w/ hand pump lumbar and thigh support, new black carpet, and the door panels, headliner, back seat were dyed satin black, Grant GT steering wheel, Autometer gauges, Pioneer AM/FM Cassette, graphic eq, Pyle Tube subwoofer powered by a ADA amp, a Sherwood amp powers JBL titanium 6x9's in back and 4" speakers in the front kick panel.
Painted 2387gm blue back in '87, (could go for a re-spray), original black vinyl roof, re-chromed bumpers, rear spoiler.
And I still have the original unrestored engine, the a/c unit, original transmission, rear end, Magnum wheels, leather bucket seats, shifter, radio & build sheet.
I might be willing to trade it for a 68-70 Charger, not sure yet.

Don't get me wrong: I support freedom, the fight against terrorism & democracy for all.

It's not something newfound - it's old stuff they've had laying around for a long time. This may explain it a bit better:

after Iran's revolution (in 1980) USA boycotted Iran.
It made the Destitution for american cars parts except GM parts.
so, mopar parts are very expensive. these parts have stored before revolution.
The cool thing is that the internet makes sharing some of this knowledge a lot easier. So maybe next time the headlights will be installed correctly. ;)

Nice save Troy. :cheers:

(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg155/vj6pac/old396.jpg)
The next is my 1973 VJ that started life as a police car in a small country town, it took me 9 yr's to bring back to life.
It run's a 265 Hemi bored out 60th, an E49 cam with tripple weber's, backed by a 4spd gear box, at the moment i am runing a 2:92 diff but have plan's to change to a set of 4:11 gear's soon so i can have a play on the strip.

You sold challenger for 68 charger... I did the same thing (Challenger not sold yet though)
What model challenger did you get rid of?
I had a 1970...
Looks like the charger is in very good condition, very nice :icon_smile_big:
In my opinion, get some nicer wheels for it, They dont suit chargers. Bullit used them, but they just dont work.
72 with 400 4bbl,727 slapstick,8 3/4 3:23 posi All done at home!

Hey If i said "Those wheels look shit get some better ones" i would understand that statment. I clearly pointed out that to ME they dont work on the car and had said the car looks nice other than the wheels (to me in my opinion)...
If that aint nice, Hell, get off the drugs. :rotz:
I like the full wheelcover look.Ran them on my own car for a while.Biggest problem is the fact your pushing around a 3700+- lb car on a very small contact patch.

i thought your car was a 73?
Figured id put my new car here also, atleast its part of the main picture section this way. :icon_smile_big:
XP car 318/auto now 383/4speed.
I baught a base model on purpose so that I could do whatever I would want to it. I love the originalities of R/T cars and will always have my respect when I see original 440 six cars, hemi cars even 383ci. However me being a person that likes to make the car unique (15x14 wheels for the rear, custom gauges, custom interior, stock look from the outside and a 70 rear tailight in place of the 68 for added aggressivness to the car) I could not and would not ever buy an R/T myself due to this reason. To modify an R/T is wrong and thats why I never owned any cars that were the special model cars. I like the car to be unique and built my way.

And that blue one is a 56 or 59 ( I don't know ) CHRYSLER NEW YORKER CONVERTIBLE with 369 HEMI engine.
He has bought his newyorker's parts from USA and imported those in country.
My 73 charger is wrecked and needs to restorate. I'm looking for a guy that buy some parts for me (with my money) and send those in my country.
your gonna put a '70 tail light panel in that '68 you just baught?.. :smilielol:
way to go dude :slap:
why don't you save your money on those (very) questionable mods and spend the fundage on a decent 440?.. :shruggy:

To modify an R/T is wrong and thats why I never owned any cars that were the special model cars. I like the car to be unique and built my way.
:cheers:

your gonna put a '70 tail light panel in that '68 you just baught?.. :smilielol:
way to go dude :slap:
why don't you save your money on those (very) questionable mods and spend the fundage on a decent 440?.. :shruggy:
Yes a 440ci is a good idea to happen before this.
The car is not staying that colour. Trying to decide between orange or a custom dark blue, cant seem to find anything that works so its probbably going to be either black or orange. However, black, very common, so i dunno.
When i got the money for the painting of the vehicle, then im going to get the propper OEM style full rear quarters 1 for each side and change the quarter skins that have been put, at this time, the cutting of the rear tailights will happen, and then paint and finished.
So i gotta save up money for the quarters, buy them, then save up for lights, buy them, then save up enough to be able to paint, and then finaly get in the cutting.
Gonna get white interior and custom ET 5 spokes prior to this though. Once thats done, il probbably do the 440 and then start saving for the restoration.
I dont see anything wrong cutting up a 318 car just to make unique to my taste. I think thats a cool idea. If thats not good, then, putting a 440 in a 318 isnt good either, its not original. Putting a manual in place of the auto, not good, not original, painting it a different colour from factory, not good cause not original, puting a 70 tailight instead of 68 not good not original...
So how far do you take it? :shruggy:

Same thing I was thinking, Id rather see a rusted out charger be saved and built the way your talking about instead of one thats already nice go under the knife again.
Plus then you can enjoy driving this one while you build the one you want! :icon_smile_big: :Twocents:

Heres some new one i took yesterday.
thats one fine 69 ;D :yesnod:
Beautiful car ice blue!!!
thanks for all of the compliments everybody
Back n Black
The wheels are 15 x 10 magnum 500's with a 5 inch backspace. tires are 295/50/15s Dayton's. The wheel wells are unmodified an only rub under extreme conditions(like when the car gets a little too sideways) Even then it is only a slight rub on the inner wheel well and i have only seen/removed rub marks twice in the past 3 summers 6k miles
Im at work right now but we took nearly 600 pics that day so i plenty more to share when i get a chance and if anyone is interested.
thanks again
very nice blue !
NICE 69 ICE BLUE. :2thumbs:
Nice rides Mally and Ice Blue. Sweeeeet!
that blue is hot :drool5:
This is my baby. Nothing real special but it's mine. I bought it back in 86 for $400 and have yet to drive it. Other than getting the engine, transmission and interior out of it, it still looks pretty much like this. I've been buying parts for it for the last 8 years or so and i'm about to the point that i'll be ready to start on it this fall or early next spring. I didn't want to start on it back when I bought it because I was afraid that i'd rush through it fast and end up with something I wouldn't be happy with. 22 years later the new has worn off now so I'm ready to start. :yesnod:
About the only things that I'll have left to buy are the parts to rebuild the engine and tranny and I'll have to decide what I want before I start buying those. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was bought new here in Tyler and never got far from town.

Nelson, your 68 looks killer!
My '69 will be similar B5, white top only with b7 dark blue interior.
Does anyone have a pic of a 68 or 69 B5 Charger with B5 wheels and the blue streak tiires?

Keep us posted on the resto. :2thumbs:
Heres two pics of my 69. I bought it from the original owner back in 1984. Ive moved it from house to house, working on it when ever the time and money allowed. Its been garaged, in several different garages come to think of it, all this time. I just had it registered this past year, and it was time. It has some rust in the lower quarters, a spot on the rear deck filler panel, but who's Gen 2 didn't,right? Still, not too bad for 40 year old paint.
The entire drivetrain, transmission, rearend have been out, fixed and cleaned up, I built the 440 from a PAW kit in 86, the transimission is a Fairbanks 727 street/strip unit bought at the Fairbanks facility in Bridgeport Connecticut and the rear is an 8 3/4 w/ 3:91.
Im in process of replacing the interior, which, is not in bad shape, considering the lack of real use the cars seen. Out go faded carpet, cracked dashpad, torn up front seats and hole filled headliner. Anyone know of a good body shop in Connecticut whos still willing to take on project cars? Im not looking for a 100 point concours winner here, just remove the rust, and make it a nice sedate color, like Viper red.
Ive warned the the postman the Mastercard bill will be very,very heavy next month...
And all my photos are over 200KB, so Ill post them separate from this

2nd
1972 hide away headlights factory am/fm 8 track in dash not near as much work needed

You know, I'm not gonna lie. I don't like Vector wheels, but your car wears them GREAT! I guess some opinions are just bound for change :icon_smile_cool:
thanks guy.. i am impatient to send to you a picture with the 4 wheels :) probably this week end.
Can't wait to see 'em :2thumbs:
I think the vectors look sick :2thumbs:
Gotta go meet a client but I had to post the news!
Just got the dyno done at stage 1 on my engine:
400hp/454lbs of torque (peaks).
At 2500 rpm its still making 425lbs of torque. :D
Looks like Ill be going through tires often lol, though on the plus side the engine shop is guessing 12-14 city and about 17 highway which is better than I had expected.
Sounds pretty good too, purrs like a kitten lion.
I took a pic and a video Ill upload later!
yay!.
My first post. I bought my 69 charger off of e-bay of all things. Got it about 4 years ago. It was white when i got it, but originally was blue (b5 I think). It has a 440 now, but was originally a 318, with a vinal top. I dropped it off at the body shop in february this year, and I'm still waiting fro ti to get done!
First pic is from the e-bay ad.
Second one is of me driving it across Idaho. (It was in Utah, and I drove it home to Oregon)
Third pic is at a car show last year.
hello & welcome (UH60L) :cheers: nice looking 69 ...so whats the plan at the paintshop ..... back to original color ..or white or .... :popcrn: don't see many 69s in white
welcome. :scratchchin: So what color are we going to be ? :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn:
'72
Here's mine
She's back after a year and a half in the body and paint shop. New quarters(lots of fitting required) and all the rust around the rear glass repaired. i found three layers of metal in the lower rear quarters that had been grafted in and bondo'ed over by previous owners over the past 38 years, along with a whole bunch of other shortcuts that had been taken. I also changed the black bumblebee stripe (painted on by somebody years ago) to white.

I'm getting ready to put all of the interior, rear bumper, tailights, Headliner, New dash, and a whole bunch more in about three weeks. I have been stockpileing parts over the last few months. Im not sure what im going to do with the wheels yet Im open to suggestions as long as they are not Torq Thrusts... It has about a 325hp 318 in it and it only has 60,000 miles on it...

Very insteresting paint scheme. Have to say I kind of like. Can't wait to see what the finished product looks like. As for wheels, man hard to say. It's going to depend on what you like.
Time for some more of the Skunk, these are taken by SFRT, Thanks Frank! :2thumbs:

Johnny Formula 440 took this one...
Hi there folks, I guess I can officially post as a legit member here now. I just picked up this 68 Charger 2 weeks ago in PA. It has a crate 360 in it, has had a lot of sheet metal replaced, and comes with a lot of parts. I've been away at army annual training for two weeks (I bought the car the night before I had to be here) and the car is being delivered tomorrow night. I can't wait. My cuda will have a new brother. This is going to be my daily driver as I only live two miles from work.
welcome!
Just got the first coat of primer on mine. (woot woot) :icon_smile_big:

Man, I would love to hit THAT road in a Charger!
We'll be back there in 2009, but I'll be forced to have some rental car. Had the Chrysler 300 with the Hemi last year but I don't think I'll be having that much luck this time again!

Yeah, bombing up and down U.S. 1 (on off peak hours) is immensely satisfying!
One of my favorite things is driving down to the Santa Cruz beach Boardwalk to ride the old wooden coaster and scope out the honeys.

Hi people,
It's a '80 DODGE POWER RAM 250 CUSTOM with 360 inch*^3 4-bbl engine. :flame:

Here is some pics of Iranian MOPAR

It was wrecked for 10 years, but the chassis and body have very good condition.
We ( me and my friend ) have bought it and decided to restorate this nice body.
Third pic is a very nice dodge dart. under 20 000 miles
fourth pic is '81 PLYMOUTH TRAIL DUSTER RAM POWER
Good luck with your project! How many Chargers have you seen in Iran?

I think there is over 200 chargers from '65 to '75 in Iran.
50 chargers are 68-70.
and 130 chargers are 71-75.
and 20 chargers are 65-67
plymouth roadrunners are just 50.
there is just a '70 roadrunner in iran, It's wrecked, It have 12000 dollars cost.
I will attach some pics from mope's in iran.
this is a '64 chev. IMPALA in north of iran (near of caspian sea)
third pic is the owner of a red color DODGE POWER WAGON

i was able to take some decent pics with a friend around the 4th. enjoy
possibly the most gorgeous charger I have seen. What color is that? I just may have to paint my 68 that color when the time comes.
Here is my 69 Charger. I bought it about 5 years ago, and finally I am able to get it up and running. Ok, I was requested to shrink it, so here she is!
Cool. Welcome to the site. You need to downsize your pic :icon_smile_wink:
Quote from: The70RT on August 31, 2008, 06:25:32 PM

If your using firefox you can right click the pic and select "view image" and it will bring up the imaged re-sized to fit the browser.
In IE you have to go into properties and copy the location then paste it in to get the same thing.
Just a tip since a lot of people forget/size them for bigger screens than most people seem to have.
welcome. :cheers:
I didn't seem to be able to modify my original post pics so here are a few more of my new daily driver.
Here's my 68 R/T, one of 210 built with a Hemi and a 4-speed, now has a 440. Couldn't afford to restore it and put a Hemi in it, so I opted to make it driveable and look good rather than buy a Hemi and add it to the pile of parts in the garage and wait even longer to get the body work done. I've owned this car for 24 years and I'm not getting any younger.

I see a cuda in the garage with the tarp suggestivly exposed like a gal hikeing up hert skirt, you are such a tease... yes we would like to see her more exposed... :2thumbs: welcome.

Yearone. There is more pics on my resto thread. They went on pretty smooth, even with the frame connectors.
Ok, she has gone through some changes since I bought her. First was to get rid of the Sublime Green. It started to grow on me, but it had to go. As it was stripped, found was white, blue, metallic green, and of course orange paint under the sublime. Under the vinyl top was a flag, of course everyone wants a General. Now it is a Grey color and I am rebuilding the 383 that came with it. I have no fender tags to tell me anything about the originality of the car, so I am totally customizing it.
Some more picks, I am still putting it all back together.
Is that bed liner in the trunk? I was thinking about doing the same...
Its a textured paint, much like bedliner. I didnt paint it, and the guy who did didnt actually tell me what it was. It is very much like bedliner, but has blue specs in it.
So you painted it gray....or is that silver>
Its actually, and don't anyone get mad because I am not a traitor, its 1983 Ford Pickup truck Grey.
Never seen it on a charger before. Interesting choice :2thumbs:
Here is my project:

Lol, that really wasn't intentional and I didn't even notice it until I posted these pics. I knew someone would mention it after I saw it when I posted them. I had actually just been in the trunk of my Cuda where I keep the detailing odds and ends that I was using on the Charger. Here's the Cudy in all his glory for ya.
She went out in a blaze of glory:

That '73's plates look reversed and in Arabic. Looks like someone abandoned that piece of shit in Downtown Tehran, my man... FWIW, I like the Rallye taillights much better. A buddy of mine has his '73 taillights rigged to be like Cougar taillights; you know, each individual light section goes off in sequence when you use your turn signal...pretty cool...
...and weren't the Rallye taillights for a '72, anyhow? :shruggy:

interesting grill on that chevy... :lol: i really like it.. :lol:
Here's pics of miy 68; pre body shop. I had been working on it of and on as my work schedule and money would allow but was going no where with it. I then decided to take it to a shop 400 miles away, bad decision and a lesson learned. :brickwall: Now that the car is back I once again can't work on it due to College schedule. Soon I hope to be done. My son tells me everyday I need get it finished so he knows when I am there to pick him up, he says there are too many people with the same minivan picking up kids at school.

When I was playing grand theft auto vice city (GTA 4 ).
First pic is burning '73 charger (sabre turbo ). :slap:
Second pick is my garage. :cheers:
Third pic is my pink cadillac el dorado. :drool5:
And fourth pick is my other garage, place of my chevy malibos. :smilielol:
Actually I believe the sabre turbo was based off of the Cutlass:

Also, you might want to post the pictures that aren't of your actual charger in the "Picture of the day" thread or one of the sort to help with organization.
:cheers:
Yeah thats a Cutlass with one tailight missing, heres mine. Not burning rubber but no cartoon either ;D
I guess we better not hijack the thread ...sorry guys.

I'm a newby here, and this is my 3rd Charger. Started with a new leftover '69 R/T in 1970, followed by a basket case '67 in '85, and my current one is a '74 as seen in the pics. I'm working my way back to a '69 before I die, haha.
Uploading these pics are giving me holy hell. Hmmm.....
Dude, Nice 74! :2thumbs:

WOW! Watch me make my charger disappear, haha. Suhweeet.
I notice the same gap below your hood that I have. Is there supposed to be a moulding there?
LOL
Yep, its still there just keeps falling off no matter how many times i put the thing back on :rotz:
Just a black strip, not sure if there repopping them yet...still havent repopped the filler around the bumper but i want to loose it anyways. Simply modification of opening the mounting hole up a bit more and sliding it back. As for the rear, you can loose the filler by putting on 72 brackets and you will need a filler neck from a 72 so its not a pain to pull off your gas cap.
Nice, did you forget to put your windows up? :smilielol:

This is for Chargerkid01.... :icon_smile_cool:
Thank you for posting pics of my charger for me!!! It is a sow process.
Hello all....
I'm new here, just found this forum today and had to join in.
A little about my Charger....
My dad found this '71 on the lemon lot at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC back in 1995. This was my first car, purchased in my senior year. It's not an R/T but I loved the look so much I put all the R/T accessories on it. It had a then-fresh FJ6 paint job and new upholstery, but that was it. We slowly cleaned it up over the last 10 years to where it is now. I haven't done much with it lately as I just bought a house last year but I hope to put in all the new wiring harnesses I've picked up over the last couple years next spring.
The engine is a warmed-over 318, built for cruising and long trips. American Racing CP200 two-tone wheels, and a hidden CD player and 150w amp for sound. I'm hoping to eventually scrape together enough dough to put a MP crate 360 in it.
Here's a pic.....I'll post the better ones once I remember where I saved them.
(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/mugen_28/mycharger.jpg)
This is a fantastic forum! Can't wait to explore it more....

Hey Folks,
New member here and here's my '68. 318 a/t with factory a/c. I bought this car from a guy in Daytona Beach when I lived in St. Pete Beach. I now live here in Newport News, Va. It was restored over 10 years ago and I've had it about 8 years. It's not a "#'s matching" show queen, just a nice driving car that's fun to take out for a cruise. I've done nothing special to the engine, just a valve job 6 years ago and a new Demon 4 barrel a couple years back. Runs great. Now it has a rebuilt posi rear from a 68 Road Runner w/ 3:23 gears. Electonic ignition as well. Good old power assisted drums all around and power steering. Glad to be part of the forum.
-Chuck
Nice :2thumbs: and welcome :cheers:

Does it really have different wheels on each side?
Here's some new shots of mine with the new wheels
Looks like different wheels on each side, but was actually pictures with different sets. It even has a different set now.
When you have a charger, you may need some gas.
1- a crashed coronnet :shruggy:
2- a eleanor is making in iran. :'( because it was just one 67 fastback in iran. :shruggy:
3- front of coronnet.
4- :2thumbs:

That's a serious difference in tire wheel size
Umm...I call PS (Photoshop) on that one. Looks like big disc brakes in the back and none up front.

Wow, PS is getting advanced, it sure fooled me...
their real. the front tires will be a little taller. no brakes on front as of now, waiting to get them.
20 inch rims in the back, 17 in the front.
looks like the rear fender arch is cut out a bit too... a very interesting stance... :yesnod:
thats because i been cutting out all the rust on it.
i'm starting to form new lips on the rear opening to fit the large tires
That is one heck of a rear wheel combo to fit under there. Can you post a close up of the rear wheel?
it was easy, after i cut out all the rust (tubs,trunk, lower quarters,and floor)
i had enough room to put any size i wanted. then i started to build around
the wheels.
Timebomb, what size are those rear tires? normally i wouldnt like anything over 18 on the back but you have some tire height so to me it looks ok. Im glad your gonna put more tire height on the front :2thumbs:
the backs are 305/50 R20's, the fronts are 205/45 R17's, but i'm going to put a 60 series tire on the front.
i like a little more sidewall on the tires.

But it still isn't your Charger.
Here are a few pictures of my Charger as of 11-22-2008 at the painter.
I should have her back by Christmas.
You're painting it with the engine in there Steve?
It would be nice to have the whole thing painted on a rotisserie but that was not in the cards.
I did paint the engine bay and motor when I had the motor out, after all the work that has been done it could use some touch ups. Just another item on the list.
Okay, I was confused there for a moment.

Hi Paul .....mean looking 69 with them Steel wheels :yesnod: nice looking charger you have there Dude
Thanks everyone. This is my 3rd charger. my first was a 70 500 n code w/ factory gator top, hood pins, burnt orange int, and exterior, slap stick with air, ( i have the build sheet, i do not know if someone on here has this car). my second was a 68 sunfire g code, slap stick with air. now, my current charger i am keeping. so far i have rebuilt the front end, new steering gear box, torsion bars. i have an nos front bumper not installed yet, nos fuel filler cap. i just installed a restored gauge cluster done by lilwendal, (very nice). new forward lamp, engine, wiper, and just installed dash harness. i bought a near new steering wheel with most of the woodgrain still on it, but is bent, prolly involved in an accident. i am finishing up with all new console, plates, ect. but i have to replace the inner seat hinge covers b4 the console goes in. im still on the dash, waiting on a-piller covers. received kick panels from year one, but they are waaaaay off, very incorrect, so they are being returned. i just got the car 5 months ago off ebay, $29k but well worth it, i love the sunfire color on mopars, and the 4 spd makes it fun to drive. i found an awesome dealer installed air evaporator off a 66 cornet with awesome chrome, itll be a while b4 the install on that, i have to try and see how to make it look like it was installed in a manner the way they did in the 60s.
Hello everyone. My name is Jeffery. I've been a "lurker" on you're site for a VERY long time,and now I think it's to join. I have a long history with all things mopar from my fathers pale yellow '68 Charger and my mom's gold '73 to mine and my wife's current vehicles. (Mine a blue '06 dak. Hers a blue '02 liberty (that count? ha!)). Enclosed are pictures of my Chargers. Big Red started life as a red 318 one of a million (don't know the exact number) auto Chargers. He now has a mild build 440,4:11 sure grip 8-3/4 and a few other things to numerous to mention. The yellow banana started life as a, well I'm gonna say '69 318 (again one of a million,don't know the exact number). Unfortunately,yellow banana has met an untimely demise last summer by way of a 90' cotton wood tree. I look forward to communicating and interacting with all of you. Bull, Troy, and some of you others, wow, I feel as though I already know many of you, but you guy's don't know me at all. You guy's really don't know how much time I've spent reading you're posts, comments, jokes, advice, looking at you're pictures of you're cars, projects, car shows, EVERYTHING! I feel it is an honor to be a part of this board and only hope that I can contribute as much to it, (and all of you) as this board (and all of you!) has contributed to my life. Thank you.
Jeffery Johnson

Welcome to the site Jeff. Really sucks about the 69 man, is the story to painful to retell? (I'm guessing it was weather related)
Nice cars, sorry abou the 69'. Welcome to the board!
Heck with the way AMD is making panels id say that thing is sill salvegable. Or (yea most of you guys are gonna cringe) but its a good candidate for a charger convert.
:wave: hello & welcome Jeff :cheers: real nice looking 68
sorry to see that picture of the 69 ..Damn ..sad sight !! :o :bawling:

Nice lookin' '68 clanton.
You think maybe you could email a copy of the broadcast sheet for the '70 into the
'70 Charger Registry (http://1970chargerregistry.com/70messageboard/index.php) that way it may be reunited with it's rightful owner?
Welcome to the Forum.
or you could just send the broadcast sheet to Chris Germain and he'll take good care of it for you. I did just that when I found the sheet for my first car which was a 70'

What a shame! What did you do with it?
My wife and I went to dinner with her parents on our 10th wedding anniversary. While we were eating dinner we could see these massive storm clouds comming in. As we rushed across the parking lot the wind was really whipping up and it started to hail. My father in-law drove us back to their home where my wife's jeep was. Just as quickly and fiercly as the storm came up...it just died! The winds calmed back down, the hail stopped,hell, I don't think it actually rained a drop! We got in the Jeep and headed home (about a 5min. trip). As we were coming down the road (the damn sun was shining now) I could see what appeared to be waay to much sun shining in our back yard, looked odd, different some how but I couldn't put my finger on it. As we got closer to home I could see that the tree must've fallen but, I could'nt see where (or on what) till we pulled up the drive. The 90' (roughly) cotton wood tree had fallen dead in the WRONG direction. Flattened the Charger and our pop-up camper. Insurance company paid for tree cut up (we kept the wood) and gave us a thou for our camper. NOTHING for the damage to the Charger shell. It is an uninsured automobile. Storm damage to our home or property is covererd but basically if it has wheels its supposed to have its own insurance or, its not covered. The yellow banana is now a parts car for big red and the tree will be next years fire wood. This is how we saw it as we came up the drive. The tree hit my truck and caused minimal damage to the hood. Crushed our pop-up camper, caved in the roof,smashed rear glass and crushed both rear qtrs. Damaged both doors as well. Yup, its all under that Tree.

Thats it, I'm moving my 72.
Man that sucks. That is sooo painful to look at. Did you have a fairwell service for it with all of your mopar buddies?
Hey guys and gals, joined yesterday and glad to be here. I'm trying to post some pics of the '68, but not sure on how to resize them. Any suggestions?
Fixed it! Here's the 'ol asphalt buckler as bought in '06. Photos of a newly rebuilt 440 that pounds the ground coming soon.
Hey bigred68...where in Portage County do you live? (your license plate gave it away) I'm up here in Nelson. Nice screen name, by the way...
Yesh Man,
I live in NE,Ohio as well. We should start a Ohio Mopar Mafia. :laugh:
Sweet 68 MoparSam! Do I spot an 8-track? ;D
Why yes it is. Happens to be a Craig that has a better FM reception than my Ram 1500 has. It sadly is all that is left from my dad's '72 Road runner.

Welcome aboard gang. :cheers:
Nice rides.
MoparSam, it looks like you are missing this for your steering wheel. Do you have it and it's just not put on?
Mike
My ex girlfriend and I were messing around with her new camera, I set up the shot, but I let her actually take the photo because I have no idea how to work the Nikon D60.
It started raining shortly after we started the shoot so we had to wrap it up and drive the car home.
This was the one decent pic we were able to shoot (notice the raindrop already on the lens). And then with a little editing I was able to come up with next photo.
if you are going to take those night shots, put the camera on program mode, night landscape mode or night portrait mode(they are all on that little wheel on the top right of the camera) so the shutter will automatically capture as much light as it can. Program mode(also the A,S,M modes) automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speeds. You also want to use a tripod or remote shutter release in low light situations where the shutter is going to be open for any length of time or your pictures will be blurry as I imagine that is what happened in this case. No one can hold a camera steady enough for a night shot. Still a nice picture though.
Oh yeah focus manually as well instead of auto focus. Experiment on a still subject and use all those different modes one at a time. you'll be surprised at how different each picture looks.

We were using a tripod... but you have to understand we took this picture with about a minute of prep work, it started raining so we hurried up and snapped the picture. This is some of her other work.... when we she has time to adjust and play with the aperture, shutter speed, focus and so on.
i hope this worked
It worked quite well. :2thumbs:
as you can tell she's in rough shape... but u haveta start somewhere lol>> what u expect for a 30+ yr old car
Car looks familiar..craigslist by any chance?
take good care of those grills, i paid $150 for a set that needed some repairs 8 years ago........
And don't worry, you never have to apologize for the condition of your car. The whole purpose of the site is to mutually enjoy all things Charger so watching a restoration is as exciting as a race which is as much fun as winning a concours trophy which is as enjoyable as dreaming about your first which is as cool as helping somebody score a badly needed part etc. etc.
that's true ghoste>> yeh it was from craigslist>> it was my buddy's before we traded haha
sad sad engine bay>> hope one day itll be clean again
Might be the same car...NE i assume? I regluarly look through the NE craigslists..
Yep never apologize...my car is the bondo queen and had a rough life...i plan on starting the repairs this winter but i dont care what it looks like i still drive the crap outta her.
haha>> i think i would like mine to look like what thomas jane drove in the Punisher movie ( i know its not a charger).. primered and lookin like a bada$$>> it could be the same car>> its an SE>> did the guy say that he replace the distributor and plugs but needs a full rebiuld in the for sale ad by any chance??

Undercoating looks good when done right. I spray it at work on new Toyotas and Hondas. I hate spraying that sh*t.

Hi there gang, Thought I would see if I can post up a pic of my charger? I know it has been awhile that I came on this site, but beings were under a blizzard warning, I wanted to see if I can still get logged on ::)
Just forget about it...

Do you have a name for your car yet? It looks cool. :yesnod:
Thanks Man!
No not yet, I kept bouncing between ideas on the name so I figured Id have to get to it first before I could really decide. I'm open to suggestions though :cheers:.
*Update: the numbers on the doors were put on correct on one door and slanting the wrong way on the other (when I saw that I couldn't believe anyone could be so dumb :eyes: :brickwall: :slap:) but it'll hopefully be fixed today, at which point I can take the doors up to the booth to paint with the body...provided the freeway opens isnt closed due to snow still. If its not one thing its something else :-\.
what numbers on what doors?.. :shruggy:
i'd like to see the car complete before I pull out my hankie... :lol:
I put "08" on the doors lol. Ill snap some pics tomorrow. It took me all day to get up to the car because they shut the freeways/roads down due to snow. By the time I made it to the shop I only had time to apply the r/t stripes so tomorrow Ill shoot the body and doors.
In non-charger-but-still-mopar related news:
While sitting in stop and go traffic on a backway to the paint booth I noticed a familiar roof line amongst a bunch of junk, sitting about 200 yards off the road. I grabbed the binoculars for a closer look and it turns out it was a dark green/primar, solid/straight looking 1968/69 Roadrunner! :drool5:
I dont know how many time Ive driven this particular road and never noticed it before.
Im going to try to hunt the owner down and see if I can (at the least) take a closer look, C-stripes's story has me all fired up on those mystical once in a life time finds lol.
Hey, might as well join this thread! My charger has much work in it's future, but here's what it looks like right now. Yes, small low resolution picture was intentional - to hide a few (few dozen) blemishes. :icon_smile_wink:
(http://www.doubleweb.com/73charger.jpg)
I bought this charger a few years ago, and was not able to get much done until recently. Reconditioned the gas tank, changed out the fuel lines, and rebuilt the carb... finally got it's 400 4 barrel running pretty darn well. The tires and wheels are new, and thank you dodgecharger.com for helping me work out my spacer needs. I initially planned to get some slot wheels, but happened across a really good deal on these centerline champ 500's. Someday I might move on to slots, but I'm pretty happy with the look of these. Don't see too many of them, and that makes it fun.
Pay no attention to the fluid puddle underneath. :yesnod: My next task is to end those leaks, so I can move on to some body work... and eventual paint.

I do believe Dale Earnhardt did drive a Dodge Charger very early on, so the license plate frame can stay. :2thumbs:
Yes he did. I have a Chevy buddy that I remind all the time about the fact that without Dodge to get him started Dale would still be working at a car wash or something.

Thanks a lot. The rears are 15x8 and the fronts are 15x7 Magnum 500s from Wheel Vintiques (what you get through summit). The radials are P275/60R15 in the back and I'm pretty sure the fronts are P235/70R15 (I'll double check this weekend).

I just bought some valvecovers that you have! and I'm building a RamAir system to mine now, and I also putting msd 6al and new proform 750 to it ;) I'll send pics when it's ready! :)
First post for me. I've been researching this site for some time now and It's simply mind blowing, it's like I've died and gone to Charger heaven!!!
Blasted!!!
Well, that body doesnt look that bad, any closeups?
I'll have to dig them out. It looks good in that shot, but, oddly enough we did metal work, then blasted ; driver quarter, passenger lower quarter, trunk, extentions, bumper braces, corners, rear crossmember, rear valance, taillight panel, trunk gutter rails, front floorboards, ....I think that's most of it.
Wow King and 68, those Chargers are KILLER looking. Love em. :drool5:

nice :coolgleamA:
Hey, I'm new here. Just wanted more people to see my 69.
hello & welcome :wave: ...... :o wow looks like its been set up for the 1/4 mile ....back in the day ...whats the story :popcrn:
Bought it off of a friend a year ago. It was hacked up, looks like a 70's quicky. It had other frame rails and an 8 piont cage. All the paint is original. The lettering is painted on. Origanally from NJ. That's all the info I have on it. Started redoing it in late Sept. I have a ton of more pics. I'm building it for street/strip use. Thanks.
i love the way a super tubbed 2nd gen looks! awesome car! congrats and welcome to the site :2thumbs:

sounds like a good plan , what motor you going to run ?? , have you found out where it raced ..or anyone got any old pictures ?? ..... if not could try over on www.moparts.com , would like to see more pictures Dude & of the resto ..love looking at stuff like this :yesnod:... :2thumbs: :popcrn:
love the old school race lettering very cool piece of history :2thumbs:
you should start your own thread and post all the pictures
Had to resize the pics. The engine is a 71 Imperial 43,000 original miles, soon to be a stroked 500 or 543. It ran in Englishtown, NJ (Old Bridge). I have not been able to track old photos of it down yet. I'm a CNC CAD designer, so I designed all my brkts and even the rear crossmember, (they want an arm and a leg for).
Now there's a different charger! :2thumbs:
Make your own thread with lots of pictures! :yesnod:

I like the wagon wheels on those other cars :smilielol:, the charger is the only one there that has the most tire on it.
I think, either he went to the wrong car show...or he went to show everyone what a real car looks like>> i vote for the 2nd option haha :cheers:
Hello all. First post here. Here's mine with my little boy crawling around in it.

Nice looking ride. Welcome! :wave:
Mike
hello & welcome Eric :wave: nice 68 :yesnod:
Welcome. Nice!
Beautiful '68! :drool5:
Welcome! That actually looks good with painted bumpers! Stealthy look! :yesnod:
Hi this is a pictures of some of my charger the GTX is also mint Francis at shadowauto.com
:o
Nice Francis!!
Only the second time I've seen a Panther Pink 3rd gen....very cool!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
:drool5: Eric, Hello and welcome! I love the look of your ALL black '68. Please share more pictures of it and possibly some statistics! (like engine, tranny, etc.) Again awsome car!
Thanks for the complements everyone. This is awesome to see so many Chargers in good running, good looking condition :2thumbs:
Anyway.....The car is nothing impressive in the way of performance. Approximate 400hp mild 360 (10:6:1) with stock Eddy heads and a 904 FMVB 904 with a Gearvendors auxillary O/D, 8 3/4 rear with 4.30 SG. Cheapo headers and 2.5" DynoMax exhaust, and bone stock suspension. Car is just a small block factory a/c car that came original with 318/904 and a 2.76 one legger. Centerline Telstars, 275/40-17 back, and 245/50-16's in the front. Thinking about going to the same 17" wheels in the front if they'll fit? Will that look okay???? Here's some more pics.......

Hey 73TXRallye440
SWEET 3rd gen.
Whats your tire sizes/backspacing? Any rear shots?
Edit: Is that Paul G's car he sold? If so its 295s correct?

Hey 73TXRallye440

thanks, i dont have any rear shots, but will get you some this weekend. Do a search for "Paul" as he was the one that owned this car on the forum and did all the in depth backspacing wheel-fitment. I do know they are the absolute widest you can run stock. They are 295's in the rear. Ill see if i can find the link to the in depth thread he did on here showing all the measurements he did. Definately a worthwhile effort.
No need to look, i figured it out. Knew the car looked familiar but it appears you made a few slight changes :2thumbs:
Have that thread bookmarked for awhile
Thanks :)
Why are you selling them?
I might have to sell the car and certain parts are so nice I wanted to see if I could sell them separately. These are the first parts that I thought of. Call me if you have any questions (412) 327-3825
----------------
*EDIT* I had a question but I saw the answer in the ebay ad
Why are you selling the car if we may ask???
If I do it'll just be for personal reasons- other things in life costing too much money. Ideally I won't have to sell it, we'll see.
I hope you don't have to sell that would suck!!
the school held another car wash,.. i liked this pic..

:o .............. :drool5: damn :o ..would love to see more pictures , & hear about any info you have on it :yesnod: :popcrn:
I'll try and scan the window sticker. It was listed as "Lemon Twist" (Plymouth) on the sticker instead of Top Banana....It is the original window sticker that came in the dealer jacket from Grand-Spaulding Dodge. Dude traded a Chevelle for it. Fairly low optioned except for the 4.10 Dana, Hood Perf. Treatment (wish they ordered that with the call-outs - that would be cool) AM radio, Vinyl top, 15x7 Rallyes, Power steering and the Elephant motor. The FY1 was an adder as well.
Here is the engine after yanking it out.
Sweeeeeet Max. Doesn't look like it needs restored though?

Thanks. Roger Gibson did the engine, trans, k-frame and front suspension only (so that stuff is good) for the previous owner but that is all the previous owner wanted done. Before that he bought the car from Legendary who really almost killed the car with some of the worst body work I have ever seen! Of course it was all hidden - that is why the car looks good from the outside. It was nice enough looking to get in some books and a magazine. Heck - there is also a Johnny Lightning made off of this car. I will post some pics of the resto as I get them.

Well, this is my first post here, so here she is. She's a numbers matching (as far as I know, seeing as how VIN stamping on the motor hadn't started yet) 426 hemi w/727 trans 1966. Outside is Turqouise, inside is white. Currently, as you can tell, she is nothing but sheet metal.

Hi friends.
I had owned and bought a book named "PROJECT CHARGER" written by Larry Lyles from amazon.com
then I've beginned translating and reading this book.
when I read some of it, I thought that why I payed money to that guy for that job?
If I had the book in time I bought the charger, I didn't need to pay more money for some parts or didn't hurt some parts for example electronical and wiring system. :'( :shruggy:
but, it's not late. I'll try to work as a expert restorer for my cars at now! :D :2thumbs:
here are some pics of iran old american cars for you. excuse me for uploading a few pics of dodge.

Just took some pictures of my charger this weekend with a freind. Some of you guys may not like the car's "style", but I absolutely love the car. I still need to lower the back of the car more, so that should pretty much perfect the car's stance.

I love it also!! I do have two questions; 1, Where's the front side marker light in the first shot? (It's visible in the next shots!) and 2, Where did you get your front chin spoiler? as, I'd love to add one to my car as well! Again, awsome car!! :cheers:
:faint:
that looks MEAN!! wow...i love it
Thanks for the comments guys! I took the side marker out in the first picture in photoshop, just to see what it would look like, but it didnt make a huge difference in the look of the car, so i just left them in on the other shots. I got that spoiler from a goodguy's carshow vendor that sold a bunch of camaro parts. Its a 69 camaro front spoiler, but it fits on the car, if you do a little bit of drilling. The spoiler itself is only 30$ or so, so its a pretty good buy, and it adds to the look of the car alot.

WOW! that looks awesome.I would like to see a few side shots.
I dont have any side shots of my car that I can find at the moment. This photo shoot was a fairly quick one because it was cut short by the rain. The main reason I had it was to get some pictures of my car in its recent state, and to try to practice some more with my flash.
KC awesome ride... hat type of wheels are those and what size are they???
The wheels are from a company called DPE, and they're called the R05. They make wheels for bmw, audi, and a few other mostly european cars. They are custom though, so I got mine in a set of 18x9 0 offset in front and the rears are 18x10's 0 offset. I could have gone wider all around, but I got a deal on the wheels, and its all i could get them in. The wheels pretty expensive if you were to buy them new, but since i got them off a private seller, i got a pretty good deal.
so do they rub?..
only the front passger side rubs on full lock turns to the left. It only rubs on the inner fender brace/ support thing.
I think the stance looks pretty good the way it sits, with a forward rake. I wouldn't lower the rear if it was my car, but that's just me. :) Looks good, though. :2thumbs:
the General Lee is a 68 with a 69 front grille. It's a project for now.
the white 69 is still wearing it's factory paint, and interior. Also the 318 has never ben rebuilt. nor has the tranny.
here is some more pics.

Nice 66 :2thumbs: Wow, it looks like it is parked where chuck use to live. Stuco and short slanted drive :shruggy:
Found this older Pic of my Car. LEON.
That color is SWEET! It looks like metallic orchid - is it? My dad always loved that color, he said if he ever got another car to restore that's what he'd paint it.
This is my 1969 Charger R/T she's being restored right now, she's not as cluttered as in the pic now.

I though maybe he was talking about that Pink (mauve) 66 charger? what color is Orchid? LEON.
Yep, I think he was. :D Orchid is a light purple.

On our site, we call him "Pinky" :smilielol:
Has anyone ever seen a 66 charger that was painted Panther Pink? They made a johnny lightning of it.
Pink looks awesome on that 66. :yesnod:
I remember there was a story in a magazine about a pink hemi first gen owned by some old lady for years. It was stored for a long time so it was very original except for the hemi badges she had swapped out for ?383s? because no one would race her otherwise haha.
Yea..that's the Bloomington Ghost car...Cora is her name....and the car is up for sale...I don't have the link in front of me at this time....I'm sure there is a thread about it here somewhere on the forum
Found it http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,53933.msg0/topicseen.html#new
Here's a photoshop pink one I did a while back just for a laugh on the 66/67 site...
its Mauve, and her name is Mary , thank you very much
don't worry we don't listen to Bryan on the other site either!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

There was one made in Playboy Pink and given to the centerfold of the year in 1966. Her name was Allison Parks and as far as I know the car is unaccounted for. There are pics of it elsewhere on the site.

WOW! Great looking car. It reminds me of my fathers when I was young. I can remember saying; "Daddy do a donut, daddy do a donut" and no matter where we were or where we were going, at the first intersection, he'd push that chrome button and slam that shifter into first and slam the throttle, cut the wheel and launch that old pale yellow (his was a '68),hot dusty dirty black interior Charger into a series of donuts that would make Jimmy Johnson blush!! (and scare the crap outta me) HA! wow that was fun! Can't do that stuff nowadays, heck I was 8? 9? all of about 50lbs, I'm SURE I didn't have a seat-belt on (not to mention in a baby seat). They'd lock ya up and throw away the key nowadays!!
forgot to post some other post of old interior although stereo will probably go back in, GV o/d in dash, Shift-R-Arm in console is out due to Lightning Rods going in, and "what if" license plate for when the car is finally done (those in the know say that will NEVER happen :shruggy: ) The what if is what if Mopar had all of their best ideas and new technology back in 66 for a Super Stock Dodge Charger instead of Coronet/Belvidere...................... Daytona wing, stroker big block, Digital fuel injected 6pak on supestock manifold, overdrive tranny, 4 wheel disc brakes, road racing suspension, etc etc etc.......
maybe thats why they say it'll never be done???? :shruggy: :shruggy:

Hey everyone- I haven't posted in a long time. If I recall correctly there are pictures of my car wayyy earlier in this discussion. Finshed the Charger last august. This photo was taken before I had some of the trim on and the front buckets in. Wisconsin winter sucks.

You know Mauve (Robert), I never noticed the original color until I saw these pictures. Was your car a different color, or is that primer underneath the relays.

absolutely brutal(//)
all that is primer, the original owner had the pass rear quarter replaced once and painted it to match the rest of the car but its only been painted completely once after it was built, that was by me in 98, we took it back down to the metal when we did that, it is an original Mauve car
Finally got the wheels on. In this picture its still on jackstands. Ive since put it on the ground (first time supported by itself in over a year!) and let me tell you guys, its friggin low with the system dropped.

Here are vintage 1969 ILLINOIS license plates for my Charger.
Not yet, I need to connect the front wheels and roll it out of the narrow tent its in haha.
Hi,
I've gone to a garage for meet an owner of a charger 73 R/T.
A 73 with 71 front grill and smashed front steel frame. :slap:
with superbee trim on the backside!!! :smilielol:
and he said to me 28.000 dollars for this trash.
His car had excelent interiour and a 440cid engine AT.
when I saw front and underhood and hood that car showed to me a big crashshshsh.
probably this engine works good, may be not.
but I thought that he says 7.000 dollars before he say.
1969 Dodge Charger 383 now with a 440 Holley
Nice 69! What are you plans for it??
I want to build it with as much horse power as I can get out of the 440 that is in it. I want it to have a NASCAR feel to the car. I know I want to build something unique. I also want to paint it myself; I have painted a car before so I believe that I can do it. As for the color I am not sure as of yet. Does any body have any suggestions for the car?
Sounds like fun, with hp increases probably the first thing you are going to hear is torque boxes and frame connectors to strengthen the car. Is the 440 a 69 year build or newer?
69 build
Welcome! What was the original color? If you don't like that color go with black, silver, Dark Green Metallic looks cool or Petty Blue! By the way, straight gear or auto?
POO POO was not 1969 Original Color it was Blue to begin with. I am not really what color I am going to paint it. It is an Automatic on the Colum car.

Thanks for the positve comments men.
The color is a stock PPG paint: Tapestry Red Pearl. I was waffling between deep maroon or burgandy, and picked this one after a lot of thought. I lucked out.....
Thanks for the paint info! That's a huge help for when I get my car painted. Any other pictures of the car?

Mike,
Thanks for the welcome. I posted once some time ago. Just have been to busy with life stuff.. ::)
On the questions,
Yes: those are CalTracs you spy. Since I didn't want SS springs to give me a truck like ride, yet needed to keep a Dana 3.7x in place with 600ft lbs of torque from a Muscle Motors stroker, I thought Cal Tracs and a pair of Eaton Detroit custom springs were the way to go. I have some testing todo this season before I endorse this route. It seemed sound at the time.
During metal work I had to have the trunk replaced, so the wheel wells have 3" mini-tubs giving me more room (spring moved in to frame rails.
Don't have memory / or notes: for exact dimensions, let me know if you want precise. Pretty sure it was:
Front 17x8 offset is just 4" (in the middle) w/ p245/45R works w/ AlterKtion
Rear 18x10 offset was 6.5" w/ 305/45R Nitto NT555R
American Racing Wheels were special order.
hi there im new to the site and was having issues with teh whole adding pics, so im going to post a link to the 73 charger SE 440 ill try to get the pics on sorry guys.

Did you intentionally put a 68 grill on your 69, or was just that what you ended up with?
Just curious.
no, the previous owner installed '68 grille 'cause he though it looked better, and I think so too :coolgleamA:

well they say you gain few horsepowers above 50-60 mph....it's ginda "poor mans supercharger" :lol: but I just want to engine to get cold air. 'cause when I have to wait, in idle, in the lights or traffic for a long time, it won't idle bellow 2000 rpm, and yes , I have plastic 1" spacer between carb and intake! and engine heat is normal! fuel just vaporize from the heat headers meke etc...and theres no scoops etc where the heat can get out of the engine bay...and I used basic round chrome 3" cleaner....well I try this ram air now and see if it helps :)

Hi,
I'm sorry about uploading different pics.
then I don't put any muscle's pic except dodge charger.
but taking pics of this cars in Iran is very hard because of their owners and Iran's transportation law.
more of these cars are became a trash and released in the streets and alleys.
burgomasters transport these cars to state salvage points and give 1000$ to their owners who released.
a salvage point without recursion. :icon_smile_dissapprove:
me and my friends keep our and ours away from their.
we have many painful problem about these cars.
my dad, mam, family, friends, taxi drivers, people, government and others make our angry Much As our cars are our love. many of people Tongue Lash our because of our car.
you and your people have not any problem with old cars Specially this muscles. but we... :'(
here in Finland is few problems too, stupid yearly inspection, which are sometime hard to get pass, and stupid laws how you can build you hotrod etc, for example if something comes out of your hood, say blower, scoop etc, it has to be very low so you can see clearly ! and newer cars you have to chance all windows 'cause there ain't this "EU" emble, have to install side turnsignal, fog light etc. bullshit! and biggest thing, which sometime control our driving with muscle cars, is gas price...about 6-7 $ per gallon........!!! :brickwall: But I drive as long as there is gas!!!! :2thumbs:
Sweet pix everyone!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I like 68's but your car did a good job at atempting to persuade me to join the 69'rs. Very Very nice colour combination. :cheers: :cheers:
:notworthy:
totally gorgeous car
THIS IS MY 68 I CANT POST IT ,ITS MORE THAN 200KB BUT YOU CAN SEE IT HERE ON THE SIDE.
bring pic up on your computer then click on resize and do about 70% then save ans check# of KB, reduce until its below 200.
if you want to keep the original pic do a save as first then rename the one you want to be smaller then re-size it, then post away

Tom on the 3rd gen site, but he lost all the info since he got it off ebay a couple years ago. They did a fantastic job if you compare it to the original JC Whitney type that Chrysler sold back in 71. It even flips up from the bottom.
Love the green too!

So I''m giving some SERIOUS thought to selling *or* trading my 2002 Dakota I just Completed a resto on and going on a search for a replacement for my Old ''68 Charger I''ve been missing since I sold it back in April of ''01....
8 years later I''m wishing I had it back, so I''m thinking of Trading my 2002 for a Suitable bare empty shell of a 68-70 Charger *or* Mopar B-body I can re-skin to a Charger Shell...
I think the little 2wd Regular Cab is going to be sold to Finance buying another Charger.

My '66 is a work in progress. Chris Darland is doing the build in Medford, OR. Plans are to make this 318 derelict into a HEMI Gasser. We already got the straight axle and flipped the rear. Some rust, but since this is a drag car, no worries. I am a indi-film maker (just completed Hot Rod Girls Save The World) and actually this car will be the star of one of my next films- The Legend Of D.B. Petty. I am a huge Mopar and especially first generation Charger fan.
Coooooool welcome to the site.
Welcome!
Gotta ask, how far did you move it with the trailer while it was on those jack stands haha? :o
Here is the charger getting the 440 put in!
Gorgeous! Saved that one to the computer haha.
All right this forum is a bad influence on the weak - me.
Cooter got on my shoulder to swap out my Centerline Convo Pros for Magnum 500s. I'll try to post a couple of before and after. (Anyone interested in a set of Centerlines - only seen rain once!)
before
The Magnums look way better! :cheers:
after
Yup, there's no question which looks better with that particular combination. They look real nice with that Red body and Black roof :2thumbs:
Yup, the Magnums definitly! :2thumbs:

Did someone say graveyard? Ok, its my Cuda, not my Charger, but I couldn't resist.
Very nice and during the ceremony to boot. Can't say I can top that one.
Wicked nice cah!
Actually not a funeral. It was a mennonite church in service in the afternoon. They all drive plain, black vehicles with no radios. I DID park the Cuda amongst them for different shots though since the sea of black vehicles was such a nice contrast to the bright red Cuda.
post em up. :icon_smile_big:

wow that's saaawwweeeeeettttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice there NYRaider. That car is the right color with the right stripe, the right amount of blackout and the right amount of chrome for everything to work together really well.
Yummie! :2thumbs:
Here's my Charger from a different view as seen from my Cudas rear view mirror. The wife was following me to a car show. Kinda felt like the movie Bullitt.
here's mine! XP29G8B car.

Did you send me that bottom one. Did you crop some. That my friend is the poster I believe, right there. Whatta ya think. Haven't heard a thing back from 6pk yet??
Actually, maybe pic one from here. Also we can give everyone else a couple more of Cecil while we're at it.
The head on shot is already a given, so this would be in addition to.
Still haven't got pictures of Chris' or Mikey's yet.
I don't want to bug em though. Chris is dealing with crappy vendors right now, and I don't want to send him over the top. :lol:

The first one is in bullitt trim.
:drool5: looks awesome ... :yesnod:
if you don't mind me asking :scratchchin: bottom picture whats the wheel & tire size on the front :popcrn:
Heck no I dont mind you askin! :2thumbs: 15x7 Magnums with f60 15 Repop wide ovals.....It has g60 15 polyglass good years now though.
thanks for the info :yesnod: its been appreciated :2thumbs: :cheers:
hmmmm :think:
Those polyglas are sure a nice lookin' tire. It's just too bad it looks like I've been in the bar all night whenever I take the Challenger out.

My Charger really drives well with them...The wide ovals were actually better as far as wander goes. I think the manual steering helps that alot.
My 73
This pic was taken on 5/12 09
Forgot to set the date stamp on My camra.
Your 73 looks great!!
Nice color! Is it a second generation color?
I use to have a set of rims like that on my Jeep.

Thanks Guy's
I wanted to do a poll on the rims, Yes or no.
I here a lot of people say they look like truck or jeep rims but I'm not really sure what I should buy.
I do want to go a little wider in the back.
Any ideas :shruggy:
I think the wheels look nice on your car :2thumbs: They go with it nicely. :yesnod:
Ive got a set just like those on my Toyota 4x4 and I dont like 'em on there. They look odd to me on that truck.
:scratchchin: personally i dont like the rims, the car is bitchen though,.. but as regards the rims, they're kinda' '80s lookin, wold look fine on a jeep,.. but i think maybe some american torque thrusts in the original finish or maybe the same color as the car a silver on the spokes would look really nice... :shruggy:
but those that are on there are too busy,.. i'd like to see more pics of your car though,.. nice you lost the side markers... :2thumbs:
sweet 73, the wheels look fine too...got any more pics? :2thumbs:
EDIT: just found them on the 3rd gen thread...nevermind :icon_smile_big:
Nice chargers!
Took a picture from the apartment after this years premier journey with the charger. Our little boy Eje ride with me only 2 1/2 years old. He didn't want to leave the passenger seat.
There are more pics posted under 3rd gen Charger Guy post Your pics, ( thread ) Page 8 and 9
I absolutely love that green on black! :drool5:
and gotta always love those dog dish caps!!!!! :drool5: :2thumbs: :coolgleamA: :cheers:

awesome stuff cody ...to get your selling dealer name plate .... still looking for mine ... emailed a few only mopar brakers in Texas ... :'( no good :'( :'(
The Duster still has the original one on it :yesnod: I figured out where it was from by the old receipts I had for it. Minor brake jobs and etc in Edmonton in like 1971. So I figured since all the receipts had Edmonton for the location on them...then it had to be sold brand new at Crosstown Motors. Robin measured the tabs for it and I measured my holes and it sounded right. Then when he sent one to me, it fit perfectly. I talked to the original owner the same night (for the first time) and he confirmed Crosstown Motors. :cheers:

The first one is in bullitt trim.
I like the Bullitt Trim. I think that the Charger in Bullitt though had 3 white stripes on the side walls. Yours looks like 2, just wanted to throw that out there.
3 stripes? 2 stripes? Huh???? :scratchchin:
Well I remember seeing it on the car when Bullitt gets off the taxi the second time. There is obviously more than one car and they figure no one would notice. :shruggy:
Hi All
Great to see all your finished rides.Im still playing with mine.Exported from the US to New Zealand in 97 ,drove and enjoyed it for 9 yrs ,been working on it for 2 yrs .Nice pretty much rust free AZ car with orignal build sheet,warranty card and matching nos 383 and auto etc .Heres a couple of pics when I got it (no I didnt put the flames on it) and as it is now.Getting there.
Looks great Kiwi383, what are your current plans for her? Where abouts in NZ do you live? I have family in Auckland.
Welcome. :cheers:
that 426hemicharger kid is a hoot huh?.. :smilielol:
niice cars and welcome Kiwi! :2thumbs:
Nice. Love the colour :cheers:
Hi All thanks for the comments . grdprx I live in Massey ,Auckland and my plans are to just keep it factory ,have just changed the colour and interior colour etc.Original was FK5 with white vinyl top and interior but FK5 is not for me.I am going to reco the engine also just back to standard.It was a 3 owner car when I got it and not mucked around with to much apart from the white paint job and the flames.The original warranty card said it was sold new from Bill Breck Dodge in Arizona to an Alvah Cramer. Anybody know how to track down that person ?
Looks great Kiwi! I believe my uncle lives in Glen Edan. Haven't been there since I was a youngun.
Here's my just rescued from an early grave 69 R/T 440 car. Found it in a field in kentucky. Just sold my 04 SRT4 to pave the way for restoration of this rust bucket.
Awesome! Welcome to the club! :wave:
Sunroof car?!
Looks more like a "permanent aftermarket" sunroof too me.
How are the frame rails?
Like previously mentioned, not a sunroof. Someone cut out a panel for what they needed or wahted ::)

looks a project & half there ..... could not have started a car like that at a better time with all the repoped sheet metal out now :yesnod: even roof skins :coolgleamA:
looking forward to seeing more pictures :popcrn:
I like your choice of car! I always advise people to either buy a basket case or a perfect car, never buy a middle of the road car that has some flaws because you always get it to those cars deeper that you plan to. Keep us posted on the progress and post lots of pictures

And HOOD PINS??? :o :o That is a rare option! :yesnod: Sweet find man. :2thumbs:
Edit, I don't think those are factory though.
The frame rails are wasted on the rear. Everything front of the rear axle hump is in pretty good shape. Except for the floor pans. I think the hood pins are original. Rusted up pretty bad but I think I'll keep them.
The factory added hood pins should be further back, and closer to the fenders.

Well, I can't believe it, but my Charger's finally done with paint!

Welcome! Your car looks great!! :2thumbs:
Thanks! Here's another I took Saturday.

hello & welcome Rustymuscle :cheers: :cheers: looks good !! a intresting project going on there :coolgleamA:... i spy a roll bar :scope: whats the plan ..street ..strip ...what motor you putting in that thing :popcrn:
Hey RUstymuscle, nice going there. Is that a real R/T and original color? I almost bought an R/T that exact color in Atlanta, Ga about 16 years ago. Any chance that one came from that area?
Here is my 74 charger I have not figured how to post pic yet?
?????
I LOVE the colour of your '69 rustymuscle :cheers:
Thanks for the kind words!
I was thinking of starting a thread on the first half (read: disassembly) of the build, having been inspired by many of the "Build Threads" featured here.
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j5/rustymuscle/Charger%20Development/IMG_3057.jpg)
As for all of your inquiries; no, she's not an original R/T, but T7 Tuscan Bronze is the original color. Originating from the St. Louis plant, this Charger came with a 383, floor shift, console-mounted automatic, A/C, power brakes, power steering, and a 8.75 with (what I believe) were 3.23 gears on a peg leg.
I bought her in 2002 from beneath an oak tree in Bakersfield, CA for $1200, pretty much complete without a grille but in reasonably rust-free, though battered shape.
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j5/rustymuscle/Charger%20Development/P1000607.jpg)
As for what she's going to be, I've stripped off all the fluff (A/C, PB, PS), filled the firewall, notched and boxed the K-frame, boxed and tied the subframes together (as per DLI's 68-70 Chargers). While I simply can't afford the Hemi I want to build, I will be stroking the crap out of a '78 high-nickel RV block 440 upwards to 540ci and built a Dana 60 with a set of 4.88s on a spool.
Personally, I've never seen a street/strip Charger that really "wowed" me. So, having wanting a Charger since watching Bullitt when I was nine, I figured I'd do it myself.
Now there's a man who means business. :2thumbs:
Looks great and that color is MINT!! :cheers:
I started my own Build Thread here:

Looks great!! cant wait till my charger gets to that condition!! Managed to get all the glass, trim, doors off this weekend. Bought some dollys to move the car around on. Cut most of the floor out. Pretty soon it'll be off to media blasting. Still got to pull the dash out.
Hey Rusty, what color is she T5 or T7?
Quote from: Rustymuscle on May 25, 2009, 01:42:37 PM
but T7 Tuscan Bronze is the original color.
:slap: :smilielol: :slap:
Ok, I didn't see that.
P.S. Don't bother with that model I wanted. Brock Sampson has a problem with it. Brock Sampson has to be my mother for her and second guess my decisions :rotz:
Hey RUsty, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there something about rv 440's that can't be used for cars? I thought there was a thread on here about that at one time.
What's different about the block n heads cept the steam ports? The old Direct
Connection Engine Book says they'll work just fine :nana:
can you guys tell me what year it is?
Judging by the side marker lamps, its a 73-74...looking at the lack of bumper filler...would make it a 72 :2thumbs:
Nice ride!
It's supposed to look like a '71 obviously. The vinyl top anyway.
picked her up in texas....and drove her to cali
Hi!This is my '69 Charger SE 383 2 barrel.
I bought it from a californian auto trader a year ago and import it in Italy.
The title tell that the car was site in Lexington, VA but unfortunatelly I don't know its story.
Have you ever seen this car before?
It is a matcing number.
After a year, I almost finish to restore it and realized my dream since I was child....have a great General Lee!
Take care you all!!!

Ciao e benvenuto al migliore luogo sulla rete in tutto il mondo. Hello and welcome!! :wave: this is 426hemichargers' mama, :lol: and I say your allright but we wanna see more pictures of all these cars as soon as you can get them...
some interesting details on that third gen.. :shruggy:
:scratchchin: I see a whole lot of orange cars in our future... :lol:
Not my car, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of this car that just appeared near my buddies house for sale. It's in pretty poor shape with a ton of bondo and terribly aligned panels. I included a pick of the For Sale sign info if anyone might want to tackle this huge project. Its located in Hagerstown, MD.
Few more pics
Woah! in that first shot it looks like the scoop is crooked too,.. maybe to match the wing?.. :shruggy: :lol:
If i bought it i would spray paint the whole thing black, and rip the hood scoop and wing off before being seen with that car.
I dunno, the scoop is about the only thing I like about the car.
Almost forgot...that push bar has to go!

Look at the leaf springs. Looks like it already was spray painted...
Personally, I've never understood the fasination with converting cars other than a '69 Charger into a General Lee clone. I've seen nearly every year of Charger as well as a couple Coronets done up as Generals. It feels painting my wife's '04 Grand Cherokee black and installing a red LED light bar in the nose and calling it KITT. I just don't get it.
Like the 69 just fine - but that 72 :flame:

That is a good lookin '74! :2thumbs:
I agree! :drool5:
Damn that's nice :drool5:
DC74 wants more spunk. I say go for it :drool5:
Y'know, 440 blocks are super cheap and are found in tons of trucks, vans, and larger sedans. You can get a good 440 running for easily the same (if not cheaper) than a stroker 408. Go big, man! It's a '74, it never had the chance to run the big motor. Give it the opportunity it deserves!

Hey everyone,
My '68 as it was when I bought it. No changes as of yet (only got it a couple days ago).
I used to visit the forum years ago when owning a Charger was just a pipe dream.
I'm sure I'll visit more often in the next several months (years) while I work on the car. I'm sure I'll need the help.
Thanks for having me.
Welcome back to the fold and nice car too!
looks really nice welcome,... I used to be known as stratocharger on the old site...
i'd like to see more pics of your '68,.. is that a silver stripe out back there?..
Thank you Ghoste and Brock:
There is a gray bumblebee stripe out back; the interior matches as well. I'll try to get some more pictures, but when I tried to attach one, I was told it was too large (even though it wasn't).
I'll try again a bit later.
Thanks again.
Drew
that thing is screamin...what work is needed on it?

My Charger at the Original Duke Farm
Welcome to the site Josh! Wow, that sure dosen't look like the original Duke farm! That's the barn I see :yesnod:
They started to tear it down :RantExplode: but, they found out it was a Historic Site. :icon_smile_big: The man who owns it seen us out there and let us in. :icon_smile_big: We knocked down some of the weeds and went inside. :icon_smile_big: It was a wreck inside! The man wasn't going to let someone without a General Lee in there but, we came and he let them in too. So it worked out good for both of us :icon_smile_big: :cheers:
Thanks, Josh Williams
Not that I don't appreciate the DOH but surely it isn't historic because the Dukes filmed there?
No. It was a really old house and I think used for something else but, I can't remember what.
Josh
Ok, I finally got my car to the painters and got my flames painted on. So here is it, let me know what think.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! :2thumbs:
Here is a pic from today.
I always like how the grille has that weird effect when the light is right. Nice car and diggin those wheels. :2thumbs:
Here is my 70 Charger.
new to chargers so thought I would post a pic and say hi and thanks for all the great info. I am learning a ton just from surfing the old threads. My son is 15 and we got him a charger for his very first car. It is a 1972 and runs/drives but will need quite a bit of work before it is ready to become his daily driver when he gets his drivers license. So far, we have changed out the front disc calipers, changed brake fluid and bled brake system, cleaned up front grill, and changed out the U-joint. Now working on sanding the brake light surround for black paint, working on the electrical wiring which is still a bit finicky and trying to track down a cheap set of used wheels since the current wheels and tires are mismatched and generally suck.

I love seeing father son projects! Welcome aboard & keep the pics coming :cheers:
Thanks for the nice welcome guys! I'll be taking photos of the restoration so will post more up as we go. As for wheels, son wants 15 x 8" so those 14" wouldn't work for him but thanks for the info. PRobably have to stick to local deal since shipping on wheels/tires is waaay too much.

Good looking '69! Mine's about ready to go in for paint so no pix yet but I'm curious as to your wheel and tire size. Do the rear tires rub when/if you have a couple folks in the back seat?
Thanks
Tom
Tom,
Thanks for the compliment!!
The car has 15x7s up front with 235/60r15s and 15x8s in the rear with 255/60r15s - and no, they do not rub - they DO clear the wheel openings!!
If you want to tuck the most amount of meat in the wheelwell as possible, I found that my 15x8 Welds with Hoosier DOT 30x9 street slicks work great. Of course, that's with Mopar S/S springs, 1.5-inch blocks, and drag shocks. The do rub with two full-grown passengers, though.

hello & welcome :cheers: nice looking charger !! like the wheels !! whos are they ??
They are actually a knock off the old Halibrand Gasser wheels. I can buy them pretty reasonably through a local speed shop. If you are interested, let me know and I can get you some prices or better yet I can just give you his number and you can give him a call.
Just found mine, I dont even have it home yet....
(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/motorcitydak/zz.jpg)
my '69 has 8*15 wheels and 275/60-15 tires back, they roll just fine, even back seat full... :yesnod:and i know for fact that 10*15 wheels 295/50-15 tires rolls too, but don't know if when back seat full... and yes, stock wheelbase and boxes
Thanks to everyone for their input on tire/wheel combos. I'm leaning toward Charger1's setup with Magnum wheels from Summit............great price for magnums. I ran Goodyear Eagle GT's on my Chevelle and liked the ride.
Tom

Oh... I'm sorry, it makes sense now. lol :slap:
I just remember during my Charger search, seeing Challengers with TA on the side of them, I didn't know what it ment.
But yeah, I got my work cut out for me, lol, it'll be awesome when it's done, and well worth it! :2thumbs:
A quick aside, but you do know what the Challenger TA means now correct?
I would assume it means the same as the Pontiac T/A. Trans Am right??
Yes. Pontiac had scooped them by a year as far as being able to use the entire name so they just used the initials.
Quote from: Ghoste on July 04, 2009, 08:09:50 PM
Yes. Pontiac had scooped them by a year as far as being able to use the entire name so they just used the initials.
Pontiac paid the Trans Am organization $1.00 per car built. I doubt Dodge had to though. Afterall T/A coulda stood
for anything - even though as an homologation figure strictly built so that Dodge could go Trans Am racing the reference
is obvious :yesnod:
I read many years ago, that Pontiac also scooped Dodge on useing woodgrain and "Engine Tuned Aluminum" on dash board facias,.. I wish I could remember the source, but all I remember it was a Chrysler exec... I hate to give info without an accurate source... I also read that the front of the Dart/Scamp was designed to accept rectangular headlites but the DOT Regs took several more years to enter the books so they just made do with the Regular sealed beams till the '80s...

What year? Jag raced with discs at Le Mans in 55.
Developed and patented in England in 1902 and first used on Lanchester cars from that era. Modern styled discs were first used on Crossley's in 1949. Chrysler Imperials offered a form of disc brake in 1949 that worked more in the opposite way with the discs expanding outward against stationary pads.

'70 Charger 500, 318/904/4 corner drums car originally. No engine, no transmission, no 'lectrics, front end crooked as a virginia fence, holes in the floor on both sides of the trans tunnel....
New floors welded in, front end rebuilt (UCA's from Firm feel, stock ones were SHOT), brakes redone, new axle spacer fabbed for the left side (8 3/4 out of a '66, sure grip!), new electrical system (stem to stern for 500 bucks) 440 shortblock is done and just about ready to drop in. I've been living in and under this damn shitbox for two months now, I dare say it's coming along nicely :cheers:
Apparently it was once white with black interior, fairly rare if i'm not mistaken?
(Yeah, I named it Bronson. Old, kinda crusty but still mean as hell :D)
Mines a floor shift 727 TF with 8 3/4 3.23 in the rear, just put new MoPar HD T bars and rear springs under there too. Next is 11 3/4 disk brake swap and 145K torque converter.
all great stuff! :2thumbs:

Car Show Last weekend.
Here' s my 74 Hardtop. Is there others out there. I have not found another in my area of Wisco.
nice color i like it
Thanks,
It's L8 Dark Moonstone. It looks brown in the shade but more goldish in the sun. there is gold metal flake in this paint color.
From the Hemmings Concours d'Elegance in Vermont this weekend (7/18-19)
Finally inventoried the car and we were supposed to have a numbers matching 383 however it turns out it is a numbers matching 361.
The dash looks cherry! What color are you going to paint it? :2thumbs:
this is one of my Favorite pictures of my car, and that's me walking over to her too...
i just found this here in a search and thought I'd post it..
(http://www.megahosted.com/albums/album220/Imgp8323.sized.jpg)
probably the truest photo as to her actual color as well..
Very nice purple Charger!
Here's my latest after the new hood. It's purple but the overcast sky makes it look almost black:

The dash pad is cherry till you get to the drivers side. One small crack. Browsed the gauges, didn't really get a chance to take them out. The radio was changed out so that area is hacked up.

Thanks. Seats are looking like we could take our time recovering them. They are intact and, for the most part, without major damage. The center console piece is really nice however yellowed over the years. Any suggestions on getting it white without damage would be appreciated. Keeping the original color which is dark blue.
Looks awesome Purple440! :2thumbs: your right, it looks black in the pics.
ITs not the best Pic but I saw something on the way home and took a picture with the phone
other cool picture i want to share with you.. a look like hazzard sand dirt road background! rosco is perhaps hidden behind the speed panel:)

LOVE IT! will appreciate more pictures and details ASAP please.. :popcrn:

Welcome. Man I bet you will the award for most miles on a Charger on this board! :2thumbs:
Thanks, Ya'll
Not a roll bar. I have a child seat in the passenger side. That adds 10 hp :lol: This car was originally a 318 car. Bought it for 900 bucks in 1978 with a 340 motor and around 80,000 miles. Nobody wanted these cars in those days. This was just before the Dukes came out. This car was my driver until Put about 10 years ago. It has never been in a garage. I put a 440 in it in 1988. It was a 1969 440 Six Pack Motor. Sold the Six Pack a few years later and put a 750 Holley on it. Motor has a little head work and Headers with the after market intake. I had the springs re-arched and bound with sway bars front and rear. This car has sen some serious racing in it's days as I lived in the country where there is only open fields and swamp. We raced cross top end. This car has 2:76 gears and really doesn't wake up til after the century mark. Had a 69 Torino's motor blow up running behind me at 100 mph one time.
Oh well, enough of my early years. I'm into cruising with my family now. My racing days are long gone. Here is a pic of my 2 1/2 year old son asking if he can drive............. I'm not kidd'n :drive:
verry nice car!!!!
Awesome car. It looks like what they were referring to about rollbars looks like aftermarket seatbelts like the XV motorsports ones that I have. Is that what we're seeing? Can't believe its never seen a garage. Looks to be in great shape....Can I have it?
Stock seat belts. Here is a very short clip passing the wife.

Will get a resto this winter.
resto?? looks great just the way it is :2thumbs:
The picture is playing a trick on you :yesnod:
All rust have been fixed so far but its going to be stripped down totally after I've tried it out this summer.
It wasn't much though.. Lower parts of the rear quarters behind the wheel arch. Trunk floor has been totally removed and a new one is fitted. It has a lot of surface corrosion underneath but it will be mediablasted. Have thought about dipping the whole body in acid but it sound like a big hazzle to prevent rust in all places that are difficult to reach..
All bits and pieces in the front and rear suspension has been bought. A crate Hemi 426 has been torn down in molecules and put together again. Everyhting weighed in and checked.. Didn't have the nerves to start it up without doing this.. :eek2:
Its getting SSBC brakes, front and rear.
The original paint is the dark silver. Black interiour. Black vinyl top.
You are probably going to hang me now but I'm thinking about painting it Lamborghini yellow. Code: Gialli Orion.. google it.. Really cool pearl colour :icon_smile_tongue:
All parts for the interior will get a resto or I'll just buy new parts.. Carpet and front and rear covers are already here.. Also thinking about doing a lot of the interiour in carbon fibre instead of the wood grain :nana:
The hood might also be fabricated in carbon fibre. We have some really good craftsmen to do this job in sweden. The company I'll use have done several whole cars in carbon fibre.. I estimate the price for the hood to approx 1500 USD. Not that bad I believe?
So go ahead and tell me what an idiot I am :icon_smile_big:... I can take it!
(It is not a matching numbers car, the engine is not right but it came with a 440HP from the factory and the engine that sits there now is from the correct year so I'll atleast keep it around just in case a change my mind)
I can't get over the awesome cars on this site!
I took some pics of pics from the early days and added a few others. Most of the old pics are 70's and 80's. The fella I got this car from sold it because he wanted a truck for deer hunting. The first thing I did when I got this car was wash out the 6" of corn shucks plastered with mud from under the car. The guy was driving this one thru the corn fields to hunt deer. :shruggy: Later on I ended up racing this car on dirt roads along corn fields. Kinda dangerous especially at night following several other cars. :boogie:
Here are a few more pics. Nice rolling burnout. Not bad for 2:76 gears. The boy luvs the Car. Last pic is my driver with the Charger.
Road Dog this is one beautiful Charger. Love the body style. :2thumbs:
Sweet ride, curious as to what the stickers say :shruggy:
Road Dog love the car :drool5: :2thumbs: I spy :scope: an N.C. plate. Where abouts N.C. are ya?
Thanks Ya'll , I'm just east of Raleigh. The sticker across the trunk says," If your wheels ain't spinn'in ya ain't got no traction". The left bumper sticker says, "I don't love pot holes". The right sticker says," I may be slow , but I'm ahead of you".
that Charger Looks great! :drool5:

Hello all. I am new to the forum and to Mopar muscle but not to cars themselves. I have been a part of several restorations... ('66 Chevelle, '73 Nova, '73 Corvette, '78 Pinto, '79 Pinto, and built 2 drag cars) but my '74 Dodge Charger is the next on my list. I just finished the '79 Pinto except for a few details. I bought the Charger in June. I'm the third owner. 82,000 original miles. I have original book and warranty/option pamphlet, original insurance card and registration. Car set since '03 after being a summer driver. Started right up and with some cleaning and a tune-up I had the car inspected less than a week after I bought it and have put around 300 miles on the car without any major problems. Love old muscle and drive this car everyday there is good weather. Needs work but is in good driving condition and will be easy to restore. And the best part? I'm only 18 years old and will be attending West Virginia University in the fall. Sorry for the long into, here are the pictures.

Oh BTW the car has had one re-paint. Original matching 318 w/ leaky 904 tranny. Nothing special, but good enough for me. ;D

not sure if I posted this B4 but you can ride along in my '73 in this video. ;D
Hi all, first post. Awesome site, been reading here for about 18 months. I'm in Melbourne, Australia and have a 1968 Dodge Charger, along with a couple of aussie Chargers. After scoring a work transfer to Boston in January 2008 I found the Dodge in Ohio and had it shipped home.
It's a factory 383, console auto, bucket seats, front discs, power steering car. Nice options - not numbers matching anymore and it's had a repaint in 2001 Dodge Metallic Green. It's just driver quality all over but that's the way I like it, can drive it everywhere!

Awsome pics 1st_charger :icon_smile_big:
Thanks for taking them JT01! :2thumbs:
It takes talent to drive and take awsome pics at the same time
Pulled the car out of the garage today to do some pressure washing to get all the mold off the car. Im surprised it was still there afterwards.
Wow thanks for making me feel like my car is almost finished! :2thumbs:
same goes for me!
sometimes others pain gives the rest of us hope.......................
I see a car like his the same way I looked at a big box of crayons and a clean piece of white paper when I was 5....somethings gonna happen here! :2thumbs:
No problem guys... :shruggy:
Unfortunately its going to be a very long road! :icon_smile_blackeye:
SO.....what's the plan for it? (now that shes had a bath) We want details! :2thumbs:
Well all that mold had been setting on the car for almost 30 years. I finally managed to find some rear wheels and tires so we could role it out of the garage. Bought a pressure washer today for the fun as you can see the car in the pics.
Next step is sheet metal and rear frame repair. Passenger side rear frame aft of the axle is toast. Need to send it off for media blasting to see exactly how bad off the frame is. Saving to buy a compressor next to be able to pull all the bolts off from the front fenders and get the car totally dismanteled. I know for sure its going to have to have all rear metal. All pans from firewall back to trunk. At this point I dont think any metal can be saved. Possible roof skin or big patch panel where somebody hacked it up for the roof. Since it was originally an R/T, its going to have a 440 put back in. Im planning on mating that with a 6 speed manual. Original style dash, newer gauges. Viper, newer charger seats. Still debating on that one. Hotchkis suspension, undecided for wheels. Going back blue.
From the comments Ive been reading, kinda worried about how long it will take to get all the body components Ill be needing. Trying to find a good shop in my area that can do the body work and blasting. I have no experience in that field. Only mechanical work. Im going to have to go out on a limb and trust someone big time.
Research here first, sounds like a good plan of action. I'm no body guy ether so I can relate!
Sounds like a stellar plan :2thumbs:
Here are some pointers from things I have learned here.
1. Get references from the body shop and follow them up.
2. Do not pay up front. Once they have your money your car will never get done.
3. Get a contract in writing of cost, time to finish & what work will be done. See above. Also some members cars have been at the body shop for years.
4. Keep agreed value insurance on your car. Maybe not a requirement since your car will be stripped. Some have had damage / theft at the body shop.
Truthfully - do it yourself!!. If you are mechanically inclined you can do the body work. They amount you will spend at the body shop will easily pay for all the hand tools, a good compressor & a decent 110v wirefeed welder. After the job is done you will have all the tools for future jobs. Don't overwhelm yourself. Break the project down into small steps and complete them one at a time. With the high quality metal coming out now from AMD these projects are becoming easier. I had never done bodywork before and put a trunk in my friends Challenger. I bought a Rotobroach cutter for the spot welds and an air punch to put holes in the new metal for rosette welds. We took our time, measured carefully and it came out great. Good luck with your project - saving an R/T is a worthwhile endeavor.
A buddy of mine owns a body shop. So, I've seen first hand how you don't want your rare or hard to find
parts left loose in someone elses' hands. Oh, he learned & they are more organized than ever - but until
it involves lockboxes: stuff will come up missing. Best to keep your parts yourself, even when it's a friend
it will involve others that you just can't be sure about.
Hi,
Yeah, I know This trunk emblem is wrong, this car is a Dodge. :2thumbs:
But I dont want to give my original CHARGER emblems to robbers. :rotz:
And I can't find these parts in Iran.
I've bought this PLYMOUTH emblem just 4$....
Ha ha ha ha... some parts don't excist in Iran (such as CHARGER molding emblem) , but some parts excist and are very cheap (such as a not-used '69 Charger tail-lights in 40$)...

Ouch!!! My daughter..!!!
Jesus please save her !!!
that looks like it hurt alot
Ouch!! :o That was close!
Ummm, what exactly happened there?
I just found this site and all i have to say is wow I am going to love this place.
This is my baby that I found sitting in a field

(http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq80/aaron543420/IMG_0305.jpg)
So far it has new frame rails, New trunk pan and extensions, 2 new quarters (not on yet) ...the underside has been stripped, cleaned and primed... the engine compartment is now stripped down to metal and if all goes right it will be under primer by tonight... 2 new fenders ....well i should say new to me lol ... I stripped them down to metal and and have them under primer ....and holey cow it looks like someone shot a 1,000 BB's at them.
hello & welcome Aaron :cheers: got a project going on there !! whats the plan , rebuild to look stock or ??? , keep the pictures coming dude , love looking at stuff like this :2thumbs: :popcrn:
Welcome Aaron! :2thumbs:
welcome aaron :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
The idea behind the 69....
I'm going to go with the semi stock thing ..... The only thing thats really going to change is the rear end and engine . The guy gave me 2 Dana 60's when i bought the car so I figure I should use one lol ..... and the original motor is coming out and going into storage (for now). I have a mild 440 thats been rebuilt for my 71 Dart but im thinking that its already painted and ready to drop in so it will go in the 69 (trying to save a few bucks before the lady of the house kicks my butt)....
The body will be black with a black top and a red rt stripe. The originally color was a baby poop green... Someone then painted it gold and then someone came in behind them and gave it a very very poor black coat of paint.
I think the interior was red and black (kind of hard to tell lol ) and I'm thinking I will go back to the same colors but just not as much red as it originally had.
Oh and I love pictures so yea there will be many many many more.
I see a tag on the fender, did you decode it yet? :scratchchin:
Very cool...that picture of it in the field reminds me of when I found my '69. The interior in case you're wondering dosen't look original. The red seat and black door panel are not for a '69.
I used the tag decoder from the other site and it only showed that it had bucket seats, drip rail, etc .... no colors etc... :'(
Went for a cruise with some of my buddies last weekend and ended up at sonic :drool5: :cheers:
all sonics should look like that....all the time....

I was thinking the seats were not the correct ones ...but wasn't 100% sure.... I do know that the right fender came off a 68.... but no matter ...when the car was being moved my buddy's wife "accidentally" hit the fender with the bobcat and trashed it....it was a sad day

I have been a member for a few years but have not been able to post because my car has been at a stand still. I have enjoyed reading the forums here. A lot of great advise that I have been keeping in mind for when I had the opportunity to start again. Well, here are some pictures of the car. Rolled it out of the garage after almost fours years of no progress. I know the stripe in the back is not correct-miscommunication with the painter I guess-will be changing that later. Anyways I am now moving forward on this once again. I have been waiting a long time for this. Thanks to all who post here on the site. Hope I can be of help in the future.

very interesting color - is that a metallic?.. :popcrn:
Wow thats what im hoping my 69 will look like somewhere in the near future. Love those wheels!
Quote from: Brock Samson on August 20, 2009, 10:19:25 AM

\
Yes it is a metallic. It is actually color matched from a Yamaha R1 street bike. Looks kind of purple in the garage. Not too happy with the bodywork (and stripe) so eventually I will have it all redone. Not sure if I'll stick with the exact color though. It's a 2 stage PPG with a 3 stage PPG pearl white stripe as of now. :shruggy:
even though the stripe isn't correct.. hell i think that is looks pretty bad ass! its all about what makes you happy.
like it car great stance!!!
Awesome mopars here!
Welcome and great looking car!
Hi!
After long reserch I found some news of my '69 that was sit for long time in Virginia.

Here are strange with a pour look.
At the top left in the blue stripe there is write "I" as Italy, then sequential numbers and letters,finally in the other blue stripe there is the first two letter of the county and the year when was born the car. I have write "VA" as Varese (north of Italy county close Milan) and "69" as 1969.
Here are some pic's from the local car cruise that is on Saturday nites.... :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:

Hey Dodgy, got any straight side photos of that car? I'm thinking of Cop rims on mine, photoshop isn't cutting it for me lol!

they might stand out more if they were painted body color instead of the black, but the pic angle makes it hard to see also
Here's my car, back in '93, already sat around 13 years by then...
As beginning the resto.
Looks pretty solid :2thumbs:
Quote from: The70RT on September 06, 2009, 07:47:15 PM
Looks pretty solid :2thumbs:
It was absolutely tight in 1980, the bottom was packed with probably 300 lbs of red Alabama clay. My mistake was cleaning out the dirt, and cleaning out the oily rags and parts from the trunk-after another 20 years and not too much attention, the trunk floor looked like the starry night sky and the Michigan humidity got under the vinyl roof. The bottom is still perfect, though.
I decided while restoring that rust eradication and prevention was priority one, and to do that the quarters had to come off-so as long as they were off, and had a pinhole or two after acid washing to replace them with AMD pieces. It was like losing a child but I'm good with it now.
Here's a piccy of the frame under the trunk floor;

not much of a visible change other than color, but a lot of changes under that body

Hi
Thought I send in some pictures of my 1969 Dodge Charger.

Thanks for looking.

Hi
Her are the pictures of my 69 Charger.
CalNor Charger
Heres mine!
my 68 charger!!
I love flat black 68s! keep us posted! :yesnod:
Its some black base coat we had around here at the shop,sprayed it on to find all the high and low spots.I've been welding,spripping,grinding etc on this car for three years .It feels nice to be at this point now because i'm done all that,I never thought at the time it was going to be that long and still going to be another good year.I put all new frame rails, floor, trunk floor looks really nice under there now,kind of happy to see.
Well I'm not sure if you guys heard or not but my dad passed away a couple weeks ago.
The Melenoma cancer got him this time. Wasn't much they could do for him. It was just too extensive and fast moving when they found it.
In tribute I drove my car down to the chapel at McChord Airforce base to transport his ern from the funeral to the Tahoma National Cemetary grounds.
When I was on the base I drove the charger over to where my dad's airplane (c-124) sits on the field area so I could get a good picture of the charger with my dads airplane behind it that he flew for years and years. Pretty cool they actually have it out on the field for all to see these days.

Here is a couple of mine, first time out after 4 year restoration. It is 99% done, rims and tires coming soon.
:o :drool5: nice 69 BnB :yesnod: :coolgleamA: what wheels are going on that thing :drool5:
You know Back N Black, I think the wheels that are on the car right now look good! It gives it a real sinister appearance.
And Brock, a buddy of mine has a tattoo of his 69 camaro on his arm and I rag his ass all the time about getting his money back on his tattoo because it's the ugliest Cuda I've ever seen. (you comment to Jackie made me think of that)
Here is mine :cheers:
very nice :drool5: what kind of headers are you running?

No white lettering...
Nice work!!!
The Draglites look fantastic on your '70 :2thumbs:
Thanks. It does look good. I'm thinking of getting a set for Xmas.
And the draglite weight is about a 1\3 of what those cop rims are. I am getting some 15X10 and 15X7 this Winter and the 15X10 are 14lb pounds and 12.5lbs for the 15X7. I'll be shaving a total of 27lbs of unsprung weight when I switch over and go from a 215-60-15 to a 295-50-15 on the rear, and still be 10lb lighter. I have chrome reverse rims on it now but its time for a change.

Well, The DMW asked me what sizes I wanted, and I just guessed and chose these. But the front plate won't fit the rear bumper, it's too wide.
But still, I don't like the rear plate either, I want a US-size plate.
This needed to be posted here
That's a nice Coronet on the end! :2thumbs:
Finally got my hood blackouts fixed (all the way to the window trim), my grille painted correctly and my center caps the right color, so I figured that warranted a pic or two:

welcome Mr BB... what color is that?.. is it original?.. Nice! :popcrn:
:cheers: hello & welcome :2thumbs: :popcrn:
Thanks, Yes the colour is original, it is T3 Light Bronze Metallic,with a Tan Vinyl Roof
Thanks for the response! being as mine was also in that combo (R/T SE with black Int. & stripe delete) i'd sure be interested in many more photos of yours... :yesnod: are your rims Cragers?.. :popcrn:
here's another t3 Tan one I saved to my charger file some time ago...
I think that colour on that car is T5 or T7 dark Broze Metallic with a T3 interior. Yes i Have 14 inch Cragers on the front and 15.s on the back. I have to send them out and get them rechromed or put on some new ones have not decided yet they r a bit pitted with some rust. I will get ya some interior pics i neeed a new interior and i want to keep it original.
my bad, you'r correct in it being one of the darker bronzes,.. they are so (the bronzes) rare and few and far between especially with the Tan top... yours is more of a sand while others are called "root beer".. I think the middle one is a gold, I'd sure like to see the three "T"s next to each other.. :shruggy:

Heres a few pics of my 69 RT 440
Those look like NOS plates - I bought 3 sets off of a guy that are "guaranteed to be usable" (I Hope).....I see by the sticker, you already went through all the Y.O.M. stuff. :cheers:

I bought them off a guy on EBAY, before i bought them i called the MTO to see if that combination was available (seems like bikes and snowmobiles also use that combo) it was so i got them. I think that this guy makes them they r new as new can be. Anyways then you have to ship the plates off to the MTO the approve them after they cash your 275 bucks then you get to go register them ad give them another 75.
The 318 car that gave up its front clip was T3 with a tan top and interior. I know this as the fender tag I got is from said donor car.

-rename the file names to something absurd (like gdrfbgdgkjsdnbg.jpg for example)

Nice one! Almost looks like mine, but yours is on the road, and not mine. :popcrn:
Some more pics from Sweden, but this time "it" standing still... If somebody knows? The R/T stickers on my car, has it an original look? Cant see any other Charger with this set of stickers on the hood! I need some pictures of the enginecompartment (440 Magnum R/T -71), trying do get wiring, waterhosing, etc. etc. correct. The spelling and getting the sentens right in english, is quite hard for me, so i hope you understand me. IL promise if i wrote this in Swedish, you wouldn't understand, Nada!
I think that R/T decal is from a Challenger.

here is a shot of my 16 year old son's 1972 charger. Nothing fancy but it is his first car and he is really proud of it. We bought it field fresh and needing alot of work. Spent most of last summer fixing it up and still working on little stuff but it is coming along pretty good. Josh and I did the paint ourselves. Nothing special but was a good learning process for Josh and didn't turn out too bad.

Howdy People, Im Bob from Auckland New Zealand , Ive been lurking for a while , I've got a 68 that Ive had for not long, its just a stocker 318 2bbl auto at this stage , low miles and clean body , was a Texas car & been here a little over 2 years. Got a few plans for upgrades tho ;)
We get a lot of family fun cruising in it thats for sure, we're in the middle of summer over here so its looking good for the cruise and show season.
Had a few Mopars of the Australian and NZ variety mainly the Hemi 265 6cyl ones, Chargers and Pacers , they go alright, had a couple of them with 6pks on, definetly wakes them up a bit, but this one is my 1st US built Mopar and liking it :2thumbs:

Hi there thx for the kudos. It's been a LONG battle for this beast, but worth it in the end.
The rims are 15 x 8's on all 4 cop car rims. The tires are 265/60/R15 Goodyear NASCAR Eagle 1's.

Yeah i think you're right. My cousin runs a goodyear shop here in town which is where I got these. I remember him telling me that I got the biggest size they ever made for that brand and they are no longer available.
Ultra sharp Bee 71383bee :2thumbs: , dont see many around here either, about your yellow letter tyres - a guy over here made up his own stencils and sprayed the big Goodyear yellow letters on, on his black 70 BB Cuda, looked 'just right" , just a bit of time involved to make em thats all

Ultra sharp Bee 71383bee :2thumbs: , dont see many around here either, about your yellow letter tyres - a guy over here made up his own stencils and sprayed the big Goodyear yellow letters on, on his black 70 BB Cuda, looked 'just right" , just a bit of time involved to make em thats all

BobT, was the third brake light in the car when you got it, or is it required installation per the NZ govornment?

ahh, my bro-inlaw is a handy graphic artist so we made a bunch of them, you want one? maybe we can trade off something :icon_smile_big: would'nt mind some dodgecharger.com decals but I dont have a paypal a/c , postage might be a bit steep tho
I wouldnt mind making a custom sticker like that for mine (except say something like Dodge Scat Pack with a couple bees in yellow lettering) but, im not THAT computer literate :brickwall:
Got a new one to post up that i liked very much

Tan Top- Oh Yeah, it's definitely going stock. I've got the 6 pak rebuilt and ready, the 4 speed is waiting, just need some color on the car. I'm about 8 years into it, it sat in the first body shop for 4 years and got about 2 months worth of work done....frustrating! The body shop it's in now is all over it, he's doing a good job and expects it to be done about March!

Hello to everyone! You all have outstanding Chargers here :drool5:
I live in Finland and I just bought R/T clone ´69 Charger with 440cid Magnum engine and 727 3-speed automatic transmission :cheers:
This is my first Mopar ever, I have been GM enthusiast before and I still have my ´86 Iroc-Z Camaro. It was supercharged before but now it is without engine and I´m selling it here in Finland. It is a great car but 2nd gen Charger is something that I always have been wanted :2thumbs:
My ´69 Charger will arrive here to Finland in few weeks. I bought this baby from there US so I haven´t even seen it than only in pictures, so I really hope that condition and everything else is that what I´m told to. This is unrestored individual... Only paint and interior is new and of course engine and transmission is done..
Here is one picture of it, if someone recognize this Charger I´m interested to hear more of this so feel free to send me message or something :cheers:

Just purchased my first dodge since my old 1979 Dodge Magnum. This one is a 1972 Dodge Charger. Its got a straight body and little rust. Needs some work but nothing that time and money can't get done.
^has a '73 grille, interesting...
The old grille was messed up, the only junk yard replacement was from a 73.
My new '69... I've been learning a bunch from this site for about a month now, thought I'd join up and say thanks.
Thank you all for sharing and showing your cars and info.

I bought this 1973 Dodge Charger SE yesterday for $2,000 and drove it home! Can't wait to get started on the restoration. Even though it has been in a barn for the last ten years, it ran and drove pretty good. The man I got it from bought it from the original owner in 2001 who put a 413 motor home engine in it. Still has the original paint. WISH ME LUCK!
Nice buy! And welcome, also. :2thumbs:

It's depends on brand and model of car.
for example girls love firebird & camaro and most of GM F-body riders are young boys :scratchchin:
but government and military and "BASIJ" (we tell them AHMADI NEJADian terrorists ) hate american cars and in many times they shooted at them.

I figured that American autos wouldn't be very popular with hardliners. :rotz: :yesnod:
The BASIJ are the motorbike riding guys who were beating protesters, right?

Here are a couple pics of my Charger. It is a 72 but has 71 doors along with a matching 440 auto, AC (still blows cold air), hidden headlights, R/T taillights, and electric glass sunroof. I am glad I chose to paint it black but it sure is hard keeping it clean!
that thing is awesome looking :2thumbs:

Here are some pics (I can't type more because my english language ability is poor )
2nd pic are BASIJI who kill us like gangsters. they have high-speed bikes (Hayabusa and... )
but it's a governmental law that every man who rides bike with 250+ CC engine (except basiji ) can be killed strightly by a basij member without any STOP alert. (they have gun ) :flame: :brickwall:

you can plainly see the roof pieces and the rear wing mounting holes.
Great Pictures Behrooz!
I find it interesting we see 25, even 50 chargers from Scandinavia and Austrailia and none from other areas, countries or even entire continents...
Thanks!

I would say it is a 68 if the tail panel wasn't changed. Is it a R/T? Nce options on that car: 4-speed, rear defog unit, rear speakers and a 8-track.

1st pic- A golden coloured '73 Charger that has been salvaged for another '73 Charger.
But I haven't any pic of that Charger.
2,3,4th pic - A red '70 Challenger has been parked in here for sale (6.500 $ )

i'm really surprised at all the american muscle in "extreme" countries such as Iran, when i say extreme i mean politically, socially and industrially. i mean its almost expected in countries such as england, germany, france, italy where american influence and servicemen/women may have left them or stayed with them plus the other side of the coin of people wealthy enough to buy and ship
but other countries, Iran, Iraq, Russia, etc with their society norms and distance from America i think its amazing that people are into the cars and they are "allowed" to keep them. "allowed" may seem strange to us but we have alot of other freedoms that many countries don't allow their own people
keep up the faith and the pics behrooz_roadrunner :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
:o more good pictures behrooz RR :coolgleamA: i'm really amazed at those challengers , wonder if they have mph or kph speedometers :scratchchin: & were they original export cars :scratchchin:
thanks for posting these pictures Behrooz !! great stuff :coolgleamA:
I was just thinking: "If these Mopars could tell there story?" :scratchchin:

Here's my baby in the snow and his slow extraction
one more
:'( Not even a cover for bad weather
...darn...thats unfortunate...
He'll live ;D
Hell i remember driving mine back in 1980 when we got a foot of snow....It was my daily driver then. I had to un-freeze the head light doors after they sat a while when driving in conditions. The N-50's didn't fare so well either.
I would have thought that with the Charger being such a "Hot" performance car.....the snow would have melted right off the car!!!! :lol:

Hello from Germany! I'm glad I found this forum. I'm a big car maniac. And I love Chargers! I'm not really a Mopar guy, but I like many of them. But Charger from '68 to '70 is my real favourite. So many cool Charger pics and information here, and not for all the E bodys.! Very cool.
Here is my '69 R/T- SE, in bare, with new rear Fenders and primered in orange. Do not know how the end color will be. Might be green metallic or black, maybe even orange. Still wondering....
Upload isn't workin' at the moment. Will try again later...
Here is some pics. 4 speed car.

@beehrooz: Very interersting and cool pictures. Never thought that there was muscle cars. Other american cars I know of older pictures. Good luck and stay safe! We need people like u! I wonder if those killers have any problems drinkin' Pepsi or Coke. Unbelieveable. :rotz: Keep on drivin'! Cheers from Europe.

Always thinking about that. And to boot somewhere in its past my 73 was stolen, VIN tag removed (still have the fender tag atleast)...always wondered who the car belonged too?, do they miss it?, and are they even still alive?
Maybe one day ill put the puzzle together. :shruggy:

hello :cheers: looks a good project going on there ! keep the pictures coming , love looking at stuff like this :yesnod: :2thumbs:
Thanks! U can't imagine how much bondo I had to sand of that one! ::) The car is actually rust free from California. But was hit in the rear someday. They fixed it as good as they could and the rest was bondoed. The whole car. Then to the painter, and the whole thing cracked... My chance to buy it for a pretty good price. I decided to give her the new complete quarter panels, and rear panels.
Need to assembly it when the snow is gone, to check if everything fits (bought it already disassmbled) and take her for a first trip, before disassembling again and paint.

Very nice 68! :cheers: Like the shaved side markers, that's what I'm shooting for
I like the window tint. :2thumbs: :cheers:
Yeah, nice car, but that tint wouldn't fly around my parts. Would love to have it on mine that dark though.
Nice! very clean. :2thumbs:
nice looking 68 :yesnod:
Here are some pics of how it looks right now. Its almost ready for paint and reassembly. I have to get a scanner to post some of the old pics I have when it was terrorizing the roads.

The day I brought him home. 1971 Charger 500. Has a 72 400, slap stick auto. I have an 8 3/4 waiting to go in as soon as my springs get here. New exhaust goes on in a couple of weeks too. Have a new fuel tank to put on and finish rebuilding the carb, putting on new hoses and a good tune up and hopefully fire him up for the first time in about five years. Clickable thumbs. Thanks for looking. Mo

:icon_smile_big:
love your Charger!! had I kept my '73, I would have gone with similar color and painted the grille too (or gotten hidden headlights from a '71/72 car). looks nice and mean!!
Looks great Nelson!!!
Let's get started...
Here's some work I did Sunday night. Now I remember again why nobody wants to paint cars and why it costs a fortune when they do.

1970 Pontiac Turqouise Mist. It changes quite a bit depending on lighting conditions, as you can see in the pics. It can go from a greenish/silver to a blue/green mix almost.
:yesnod: thought i recognised it! a great color! love it! :2thumbs:
Here is the end result of an all night death march from hell. If you have ever spent a "considerable" amount of time scuffing old rock hard enamel paint with a scotchbrite pad you know what I mean. Got the whole trunk area though. Under the package tray, the braces, everything I could get paint on. It could have been better, I'm fine with it. Besides who's ever really gonna see it? The hood hinges and quarter panel end caps were already primed and ready to go.

Well I broke down and bought another R/T.. This time a 2010. I know some of you guys hate 4 door chargers but I saw this one sitting out on the lot and couldnt let it go. I was trying to find a good priced R/T for my father and found mine sitting next to the one the salesman was showing me.. I was going to buy a new Crew Cab Ram but couldnt swallow the $700.00 payment! Sticker was $41k, got it for $32k. Employee pricing and rebate.
:2thumbs:
Picture talken today while running around in the gold country.
This is after quite a bit of block sanding and "finish" body work....although there is still plenty to go. It's starting to look like a car again, almost.

Thanks Marc. I hope to see your 68 there as well. It will be a few years before i start on my 68.It is a original Toronto sold car and has been off the road since the early 70s.My plans for it have always been to restore it as delivered and try to save as much of the original paint as possible. The sublime will be at Moparfest with a few mods that are being done now.
Cool videos! :cheers:
Top vids guys, nice O's in the 69 but the Black 68 R/T really takes the cake :coolgleamA:

And your right Brock that is the new GoMango also known as Tangerine Pearl Coat, paintcode PVE.
Thanks again guys and hopefully I will actually get to start to put her back together this weekend, I haven't really had a chance to touch her this whole week.

Paid $500 for it, changed the oil and plugs, painted it, and went racing. In process of building a 440 and fixing the rest of it up. Won it's first race 3 weeks ago
very nice! I really like the paint scheme. What are some specs on the 440 and what's in there now? Got any "before" pictures? I'd say $500 sounds like a steal!

This is the one that got away. Sold it to work on my Superbird. What a fun ride it was.
Good lookin' ride Bob. I'm sure we've talked about it or Dan may have said some thing.
Where did it go? Multi-carb car? I see it had turn downs. My bought new from Junction City, Oregon blue '70 Charger R/T also had them.
Sorry, lokoks like just 4 of them on this posting! I will post another 4 in another posting! The first pic of the triple black 73 SE in the tent was my first Charger. I am in the process of restoring it now, and hope to be well under way by end of Summer! The second black primer Charger is one that I just picked up and plan to get on the road ASAP to run around in this Summer while I work on my SE! I will just paint this one flat black primer, and a few other parts changes, and it should be a driver! Starts and runs already, and I just bought her yesterday! The other 2 have more good parts than the pics show! I will have tons of extra parts to sell! Oh, well, I am gonna get to work now!
Hello,
I am relatively new to the Mopar community and thought you might like to see my Charger. It's a '66 with a '66 440, dual quad & 4 speed. This is the first Mopar I've owned (besides a clapped-out '72 Duster I had in the 70's) and I love it. The body is near perfect, engine is basically stock & the interior is pretty beat up. I acquired it in a trade for a mint '70 Mustang a few months ago. Many of my buddies in my car club have Mopars and now I know why. What awesome, unique cars!
Some of the work recently completed is all new brake lines/hoses, dual pot master cylinder, pinion seal, 3 point seat belts, rebuilt headlight motors and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. I am currently installing headers, idler arm, new motor & trans mounts, a rear wheel bearing and am having a new gauge cluster built for it. I am going to Chryslers at Carlisle in the hopes of picking up some interior pieces in preperation for a redo next winter.
I've been checking out your site and see that it is primarily '68-newer Chargers (some amazing cars!!) and hopefully there's room for a 1st generation example.
Thanks, Bob
More
bout time ya came by here............... :popcrn:
Thanks, I didn't even know this place existed until the other day!! :coocoo:
Oh boy... one more 1st Gen. Were really gaining on them now :lol:

There's something to be said about coming around to Mopar from somewhere else.

I'm not sure what's going to happen to it. I bought it way back in 92, drove it for a few months, and the supposed "rebuilt" motor (400-2bbl) took a dump on me. Motor had a rusted through valley pan, leaves/wallnuts/pine needles in the lifter galley. Not rebuilt, but rattle-canned! I pulled the motor and parked the car. I traded the Charger for a street-racer '73, but bought back mine a few years later. It still has my 1993 plates on it. It's been in the garage I recently pulled it from for the last 14 years or so.
The Charger is going right back into storage, but at a new location - Mom bought a new house, so it's moving there in the new storage trailer. My son, Jeb, will turn 14 in ten years, and we will pull the Charger out then and start work on it. 'Til then, it's back into hibernation...
I'll push for a resto/mod. Have 72 flip-up headlights & RT tail lights already. -Jason
Hello!
I'm new... Here is my lovely Charger I've had for 20 years. I just got her out of storage for the summer, and she needs a bath!

The car in front of the barn is a 1973 Dodge Charger SE. It's either got a bent/broken/rusted frame or torsion bar mount as the driver's side front wants to lay on the ground. It's a 400-2bbl auto on the column. Originally red w/ black top& interior. Someone installed a MP elec ignition kit incorrectly and burnt the ignition wiring harness, but components are still good. AM/FM 150mph Rally Gauges, Rear Defrost, nice black bucket/buddy seat interior with the salt-n-pepper cloth inserts (no rips in seats) great grilles & glass. I found the car in MI while doing some service work. Paid $600 for the car amd sold the extra parts in the trunk for over $700! Someone was trying to restore the car, but the rust is BAD!
It will be moved to the new house with the black Charger where it will be stripped of any decent parts. I have a second shed for all the extra stuff I've collected.
I don't have any good pics of it, but you can see it behind the Gran Fury I've been parting out. -Jason

Looks like April 16 to me. It's a pretty cool car - you don't see many maroon ones. You really don't see many with a 318 and 2.76 gears with a tach!

Is the Kent charger show usually late July or early August? Last year, it was at the church parking lot on 240th, down from Meridian Jr. High. :icon_smile_cool: I am looking forward to it. The last show I had her in was at Lake Sammamish Mopar Round-up (1991?!?).
Oh! I took some Interior photos yesterday, some 68 charger pron for you to enjoy;)
I know, another black charger. But its my black charger! :coolgleamA:

whats your plans on the 68
Now we are talking! Rough but ready! (like mine) :2thumbs:
Here's a few of mine at the link. Hopefully I can get back at it this week sometime.

BOY! Your really getting it dialed in nice!
Block sanding, reprime, block sand, reprime, fill, sand, reprime.....I couldn't even tell you how many times I have had to go over the same area to get it to where I can live with it and trust me it's far from perfect but most people seem to think I'm doing ok....So far. I wish I had some kind of real training from an old school "metal worker" The project would have went a lot more smoothly to this point and with less cost I am guessing. But I'll live with it. If it's anything like my buddy's 68 Valiant most people will never even see the flaws.
I have friends who want to help but no money yet!

Thanks! I have received many compliments on the "badassness" :icon_smile_big: it looks tough from the rear.
I have not measured the backspacing, but I think it is around 4-4.5".
There are some rubbing issues when people sit in the back over speed bumps, so I'll probably go with SS springs when I can afford it.
Heres mine at a local show

Strip to finish about 4yrs, body shop had it for 13mths final paint. Just about everything else was done in my garage except chrome and seats.
Did full strip down to hull. It took a little longer than I wanted due to New Engand winters and working overtime.

Just came from a little trip that we took with my friend when we did go see my other friend´s original Dodge Charger R/T 440cid 1969 :cheers: It was amazing even it was a little project, but not bad at all!! It´ll come stunning car when ready :2thumbs:
This Charger came to Finland few weeks before than I got mine in this spring.. Unfortunately my friend is now selling it, damn I would like to buy it to myself, I would paint it to matte black, but 8-71 to it and make it real mean pro street car but unfortunately I don´t have enough money because my own Charger has taken all my money :shruggy: :rofl: :hah: This my friend´s brother have also original '69 R/T Charger and it is in mint condition, great car also :drool5:
Of course we went to cruising with this and burned some rubber, man that was fun, like always :o :drool5: :cheers:
And here is the picture, great car and I hope that possible new owner understands to restore it to great condition!! :2thumbs: This is great car to restore, there is no rust and it have all parts and engine, trans etc works great so pretty easy restoration to amazing and original '69 R/T :cheers:
At the loading dock waiting for a very large order of produce for my restaurant.
Guy at the warehouse: "All this stuff isn't going to fit in there."
Me: "Yeah it will."
Guy a few minutes later: "Well damn....it fit!"
I forgot to get the "after" picture :(

They are just crying out for more attention.

heres one
My lil' 68
:leaving:
here's a couple of my clunkers. only one i drive is that chevy junk to the left. New daily driver in post production(porsche 928...tag will say WYATT, anyone care to guess why????) and the 67 coronet is still kickin around.
Got mine picked up Yesterday, and its on the road right now! coming from WA to NC! finally going to get to work on her. Been sitting in my folks garage for the past 10 years! and previous garage before that... (and about a 2 year period in the elements in between, those were bad times)...
If any of y'all see her on the interstate.. snap a picture for me! will be on a 7 car load trailer. probably see her in NC around next Saturday.

go with your first guess! :2thumbs: black porsche 928 WYATT on the plate. Other car was a red ferrari mondial. Wyatt and Gary drove them and in the mall scene when Gary(anthony michael hall) is driving the porsche it actually says Gary on the plate when they tear out of the parking lot. The rest of the movie though the porsche is pretty much assumed driven by WYATT. and it has 2 pictures of the car with WYATT on the tags.

Wow, looks like as sweet ride, but another car leaving here from WA :shruggy: its amazing how many of are WA cars are
going all over the country, they just don't rust out here like most people think :yesnod:
Good luck.
Dan
Guy down the street was given a 928 S which needed a new exhaust system when the Orig. owner left for the sandbox - the new owner found out the mufflers were $2k alone and sold the car cheap.
its a v8, just slap some flowmasters on it and go
Porsches' floor mats cost north of $600. :yesnod:
exactly. i have no problem fabbing up my own exhaust. thanks for that information on the cost of the mufflers though cause I think I have a slight exhaust leak under the car. :smilielol:
I'll be getting some measurements and calling up Dynomax. No flocrapsters for me thanks. which reminds me I need to change out the exhaust on my coronet. i saw the f word on the mufflers one day and nearly passed out. :lol:
Dave, I agree that porsche stuff is expensive but your numbers are a bit off. $600 :lol: you can get a good set from lloyds for pretty decent money.
now the clutch assembly :o
totally serious, to order as options the Porsche floor mats - I bet you thought they'd be standard huh?.. :lol:
$600.oo and that was a year or two ago.. :shruggy:
I figured this would be the best place for my first post. Here are some pictures of my 1970 Charger. Bought this car from Georgia off the internet for 10500. After I got the car I realized that I was basically took for my money. Car had no interior, didn't run, bumpers were welded on, tires were flat, bondo work all over was slopped on (can provide pictures later) wires were all over the place, had no lights whatsoever, and the list goes on. I found these pictures on ebay after I recieved the car and I did a search for the vin number.
The guy who sold it to me put a 1969 front end on it but never realized it was a 1970 charger. He slopped the bondo on it and did a quick paint job for the pictures he gave me. He told me the car had all the body panels and center console and was just missing seats. He sold it to me as a 1969 charger but I thought something was fishy when I used a vin decoder and the numbers weren't matching up. I was quite suprised when it arrived full of trash and no interior whatsoever.
A big lesson learned when buying off the internet. Some people you just can't trust.
You wrote a check without seeing the car in person OR even pictures?? :rotz:
What can I say, I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw the pictures and I had cash burning a hole in my pocket. I took the word of a stranger and ended up getting bit in the behind. The only excuse I have is that I'm young and dumb I suppose. :brickwall:

Welcome aboard!
But I can't dwell on what happend to me. I have the car now and if I can get these next pictures uploaded or posted somewhere, it'll show the progress I've made since acquiring it

So you did see pictures, were they old pictures? Or misleading at all?
You must have been on fire when it came :flame:
These are a few pictures the guy sent me. I was more depressed I think than anything. I spent so much money on a dream car that I've always wanted just to have that dream smashed.
:rotz: ok well, I'll say it,.. we need to know who this was... :flame: Boy! Am I pissed! and, welcome to the site.
two different cars , guy bated you with wrong pictures
WOW! That totally sucks to hear another one of these stories. Hope you can go after this guy.
The guys name is Michael Joseph and he lives in Panama Florida. He also said he was going to have a title for it when he shipped it up here but I never got one. All I have is a bill of sale. I dealt with this guy for like 3 months trying to get a title and some answers but he was hard to get a hold of.
Anyways, enough of the negative stuff. I managed to post most of the pictures on cardomain.
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3806206 (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3806206)
Page 1 is the pictures he sent me.
Page 2 is the night I got the car.
Page 3 is the pictures I had my girlfriend take for me. I had it shipped to my dads house and I had military drill that weekend.
Page 4 is my attempt to start some repairs.
Page 5 is the start of new/used parts I've ordered. The radiator was the exception, it was removed.
Page 6 is the point where I did as much as I could and had sent it somewhere to be worked on.
Seems this guy always has a few cars on ebay. I have seen 67-69 camaros and a few mustangs and even a chevelle.
After viewing the cardomain page I'd say
you've come along way with it. Good luck.

Beautiful ride. I thought I knew that car but it looks to me that they're two different cars. This pic was taken at a Les Schwab store too. Our club has it's annual show at the Washougal store.
They're sporting the wide Magnums as well.
Two MM1 68's with wide Magnums at WA Les Schwab stores! That is a nice car. I saw it on this site when I was researching wheels. I was hesitant at first about the 10" ones but I am happy with my choice.
I may have to make it down there for your show some year.

hello & welcome (UH60L) :cheers: nice looking 69 ...so whats the plan at the paintshop ..... back to original color ..or white or .... :popcrn: don't see many 69s in white
Sorry, I deployed to Iraq and never got back on here.
Actually, the orignal plan for the car was to go with a General Lee clone dedicated to my father, who passed away in 2007. I was gonna have "dedicated to dad" airbrushed on the quarter panels.
Long story short, it is in my garage again, $24000.00 later (yes I said 24 thouthand!!!). It's Hemi orange, still doesn't haev the new glass installed. I got the engine and tranny in and started the wiring. I am now broke and it will be a while before I get to buy more of the required parts to finish the car. I will post some new pictures of the car today or tomorrow, spo you can see what it looks like now.
Basically, I have, at least temporarily, decided against the General Lee thing, I jsut can't bear to put vinyl decals on top of $24000.00 worth of body and paint, know what I mean, Vern? (Plus, the orange paint actually looks pretty darn good) Looks like for now it will jsut be an R/T clone car.
The body shop forgot to cut the antenna hole in the new fender. They also welded the right rear bumper support too high, the holes don't allow for the bumper to be installed level. Plus, i got all the "extra" parts back in cardboard boxes. Nothing is labeled. I don't even know what alot of it is, becuase I didn't take it apart, so I have a big puzzle in my garage.
I doubt there's any chance that Overhauling or some wealthy person might help me out with a few parts, thus, there it will sit for a while. I honestly intended to eb driving it in the summer of 2008, but it took from february to december to get it out of the body shop.
Oh well.

I've seen this car in person, and even tho putting an old body on a new platform has been done before, this is the only one that I've seen that looks right and doesn't look out of proportion or has a weird stance. It's really well done.
He's mine.Purchased in 1984 and garaged till last year.Drive line completely replaced.New interior. Still wearing original paint and sheet metal. Anyone know a good body shop in Connecticut?

Thanks everyone. The car is not perfect by any stretch...I see all the flaws that most will never see however I guess they are never fully done or perfect are they :eek2:
Kelly, nice shot of your car. What is the deal with those heels??? How short is she? Those are some serious KISS boots :o
Dan, congrats on getting your car done. Looks fantastic. :drool5:
RIDELIKEHELL, hope to see your 68 next year at Moparfest. Looks great. Keep the faith, you'll get her done. My Dad will talk to anyone about the Hawks....he got Chris G later as well. After the Habs the Hawks are my second fave because of my Dad.
Hoping to take the family to our first cruise night tomorrow. The car only has 2 hours on her so driving is part enjoyment and part fear of what gremlin will arise next. She still has teething pains.
Love the color Dan! Welcome to the site. :cheers:
Yup, nice lookin Charger Dan.
Welcome to here

Spent about a week diagnosing and replacing a fried magnetic pickup in my distributor and cleaning up from trailering her back through nasty weather after Moparfest but she is back in form.

Mendota Heights. I was driving up 35 one day and i saw exit 69 and thought, i wish i had my camera i'd pull over and take a pic. Then i looked at the map and sure enough there is an exit 69 just down the road from work. So i went there today and got these pics.

Yep sure is... Hillsdale Dodge. The dealer has been out of business for sometime now but its something. I still have both plates and I will run the front until the great WSP :nana: tell me to take it off.

Your car is coded for a "white and blue" interior - not "white". It's a very cool option and very rare. I have all the colors for a white interior memorized but it's been a while since I've studied the other combinations. If I remember right the seats should (might) have blue inserts. That piping should be the same color as the door panels (white I believe).
Here are some references which may help:

Here's some purdy pink piping on a seat
(http://www.vespamiami.com/photos/vespa_lx50_new_10_pink/MVC-783S.JPG)
That makes sense in a sad way, but he's talking about a door jam. :scratchchin: Maybe he's talking about that trim that presses on to the rear door flange on the inside.
Windlace is it? http://www.stockinteriors.com/Windlace.asp?Itemid=17773&MakeId=7&ModelId=132
http://www.stockinteriors.com/HeadlinerColorsUp.asp?Select=1&TypeId=74
i thought he was asking about the windlace also, on my 1st gen the seats and door panels are white and so is the windlace. i would think the windlace would match what ever the door panel is since they are touching each other

Thanks guys.
Here is some video from this morning....
First off...I'm sick and have almost lost my voice...
My oldest guy (7) and I took the Charger out early this morning...he has skateboarding lessons every Saturday morning....air was crisp and cool and clear. So we took some video....he still isn't great with a camera but there is some okay stuff if you can get past the shots of his shoes, the console or the dash.... ::)

I am finally really enjoying driving her. For the first while it was part excitement and part dread since it was a complete rebuild and had to work through gremlins that could leave me stranded somewhere, or worse on fire. My confidence in the car and it's performance is high now. It is a blast to drive. Too bad Winter is coming.

You are just expressing what I'm going thru now, I thought I was alone. :eek2: Have now 154
miles and every sound and smell makes my heart jump in the sky of fear that the engine will explode
or the driveshaft coming up thru the floor, fires due to leaks etc. I hope I will start to trust my build
very soon so I can enjoy the car as it should be.

Per
I hear you. Part of me goes "I just built a car...and I'm not a licensed mechanic....what do I know about building a car...something must go wrong". I caught a fuel leak early so was lucky there. The car pulls like a freight train when I step on it at around 40-50...wicked fast, but was really taking it easy so never floored it from a stop or slow roll. The 10" tight torque converter Ron recommended really fools you as it spools up gently at light throttle, was starting to think my car had no punch at low end until I lit her up yesterday. Whoo hoo thing is a beast.....just like Ron said it would (Ron designed my engine build).
Time to start planning for Carlisle next year.
Then we are both a pair of lucky guys because I build my engine on Rons spec aswell. :2thumbs:
The torque my monster shows after only using half throttle is amazing.
Per
I hope you guys have safety hoops for your drive shafts, Ron knows what he's doing! :2thumbs:

Hey Don, what was you Dyno readings for HP and Torque? I know the feeling of driving after a complete rebuild, but is all good now. It was a year ago today that i got mine on the road and now i have 2500 miles on the clock. :2thumbs:

Hey Don, what was you Dyno readings for HP and Torque? I know the feeling of driving after a complete rebuild, but is all good now. It was a year ago today that i got mine on the road and now i have 2500 miles on the clock. :2thumbs:
There is a story on this. When I had the engine dynod I was trying to "help out" and was setting up the six pack carb vacuum lines. We realized well after that I had goofed and had the vacuum hoses completely wrong and the outboard carbs were not opening up. By then the chance to dyno again was gone. So on the center 2bbl only we got 461.2 HP @ 5300 RPM and 520.4 Torque at 4100 RPM. Before we figured out what I did wrong I was dissappointed in the results as Ron had estimated the set up should be good for 500 HP. Wish I had gotten the outboard carbs working to see what the real numbers are. On top of that I was filming the dyno and somehow set my camera on time lapse so I got no video....a completely missed opportunity.
Hey Don,
nice pictures.I saw your car at Carlisle this year,it's really beautiful. :drool5:

Hi All, I bought my 68 charger 3 years ago and apart from the motor I did all the restoration work myself. I completely stripped her down to the shell and then slowly built her up again. I enjoyed every minute of it, including the scratches and countless bumps to the head.(my wife had started to insist I wear a helmet.........out of the question of course) And for the past year I've just been enjoying the pleasure of hearing that Hemi come to life every time I turn the key to take her out for a spin. There is nothing better on this earth! Check out the before and after photos to see what can be achieved with a lot of love and patience (not to mention a pocket full of money) Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics with you. ENJOY Fred
I love the vanity plate.

see you got hydroboost set up , thinking about fitting one also :scratchchin:
Hi tan top,in regards to the hydro boost..........it's the best thing I ever did. The car stops on a dime so to speak, no more hairy moments! I purchased it off XV Motorsports and the front disc brakes from SSBC Co. It all works beautifully. I'll try to include some more pics for you but it doesn't always work (most frustrating)
:cheers: Fred
pics didn't come through, will try one more time Fred
Hi Guys, thanks to all of you who responded. Fred

Very nice.

Second :2thumbs: for the Hydroboost! I love the Keisler 5 Speed, but the Hydroboost was the best add on I did to my car.
That is an awesome 68!
Badass '68 Fred....welcome! :cheers:

Thanks for the coments on my old MOPAR I have not taken it to the track yet but plan to. KCIR is not too far. As a wild guess I hope to be in the mid 12s. But no matter it is fun to drive .Its shift point is at 6000rpm.I could go higher but realy cant afford to break it. I cant say enough about all the great Chargers here.

The grille will be made using a aluminum honeycomb sheet then a casting resin to mold in the outer edge and mounting clips.
I have a 2008 Hemi with a 5 speed from a Durango going into this also
side view of the car looks like the insets could be useful for air draw with 2 slots open on each one. from the front there seems to be no openings except for the turn signal slots. am i seeing wrong? are they going to be useful? thanks. jim
The shot from the front is earlier, I cut the openings bigger and will be used for cool air.
sweet :2thumbs: great idea :yesnod:
Very nice man! Did you re-work the front valance panel too or am I just seeing things?
Im guessing from the side shot you molded in the quarter extenders on the back?
Yep, valance is filled in, bumper will be filled also where the plate goes. All marker lights filled. Shaved door handles.
The quarter extensions are molded in. And I added a little more spoiler to the rear.
That's going to be one sick ride. :cheers:
Here's a shot from the rear

Me and my dad cut tubes of small pipe bent then to the shape of the indents
Tack welded them on and Filled it it to the shape as the actual
Rally doors... The doors in that area are raised up just a little just have to adjust the door
And shape the door to match the conture of the car....
Witch the result is an identical copy...haha and also beats paying $500 per rally door
It look about 2 days of work for me and him to do it.
I have done all the work on the car other than a little bit of help on the doors and engine work.... Baught the car when I was 16 and did all the bodywork myself and has been an awsome learning experience.

What I can make out, that's a good lookin' ride. I had a '70 4 gear R/T that was all blue like that. I seem to like the mono color schemes.
Welcome to the forum.
I appreciate the response. This is my first Mopar, and I have no direction. My father was a Plymouth man, and was big on Roadrunners, gtx's and Cuda's. He isn't around anymore and I'm having a difficult time getting advice on what I should do with this beast. I don't really care about originality, I'm more or less looking for HP. But this thing does have the original 440. I dont know how original everything else is but that's why I'm here. Further more I'm active duty USMC and time to work on this car is slim. So more or less I'm just preparing for future plans. For now besides leaky head gaskets and a nearly overwhelming exhaust leak it runs and drives fine. I'm getting ready to take off for a year, overseas, so I suppose Ill save up a little dough and with what I can learn from here have some funds to back my decisions when I get back.
Cheers,
Hud
Welcome
It looks like your parked in the living room. :icon_smile_big: I wish my garage was that nice.
As for HP I would pull the original motor and build a "500" with another 440 block.
HAHA, It took 3 days to clean this garage out to be able to get the car in here. I had a unrestorable 67 camaro disassembled in a million pieces, and fluids all over the place. I finally dont mind walking into my garage. The only thing that could be better than walking in on a charger would be a charger and a cuda.
Here are some better pic's. Its daylight now you may have a little better idea, in relation to advice.
Got the lights hooked up today! ;D

hud, welcome, you say it drives fine but your leaving for a year. unless someone is going to drive it once in a while when your gone i would start setting it up for storage, fresh oil, moth balls to keep the critters out, stabil in the gas tank, etc
I thought about that, I think I will entrust the Charger to my wife. Surely she can start it and drive it around the neighborhood without screwing anything up.
well I sure hope so anyway.....
Really like it, nice pic...

Thanks. Now that we did one it doesn't seem that bad. We are going to put together an e-book for people that want to build one. Just need to get off of my a$$ and get the book done.
As for your Charger, You have to put in at least 1 hour a day. Even if all you do is set the tools on the bench to do something the next, or spend the hour making a detailed list of what needs done. I have over 1400 hours into that damn car but most of it was blood and sweat. Even when I was out of money I did an hour a day cleaning bolts or painting something.
It sounds stupid but it works. Here are photos of the donor cars.

That is exactly what i will be doing here for next few months.. trying to save up to get mine in the shop right now! sandblasted.. patched.. primer.. depending if it cost way too much.. i guess i might leave it pirmer for a while.

My wife and I painted this car semi gloss black with Rustolium (sp) "professional". It is great paint, comes in big cans and doesn't hold water and dirt like primer does. I got talked into getting a rush paint job on the srt-68 for sema and I am sorry I did. There are 100 things wrong with the paint and body. But as a driver that may not be a bad thing.
Here is a photo in semi gloss rattle can paint.(http://mopar5150.com/images/480_srt_68_1.JPG)
i keep reading about rustoleum.. remember reading about a guy who painted his car with a high density foam roller?? and just wet sanded inbetween coats and it came out beautiful!
That was on Moparts wasn't it? I seem to recall reading that someplace too.

There are several guys out here that are running rolled on and sanded paint( mostly flat black) and they look great. Total cost $100.

this really motivates me...
i seen on (i think it was) hotrod tv where they showed that they painted a car with a roller and sanded and buffed it and took it to a car cruise to get feedback and it looked really good. people were amazed at how it was painted. im just not sure on what car show i seen it, but they showed it could be done with great showing.
guys here have done that try a search... :popcrn:

Come to think of it, my beater challenger would be a perfect candidate for this. My goal for that car is to build it as mean as possible, as cheap as possible. :scratchchin:
it is just ridiculous how good those cars look and he used a roller... you know what.. i think i am going to try it!.. why the hell not.. i mean the paint isn't going to get any better the way it is.

Well said! Lets see it. :popcrn:
Me too! Mee too!
Why cant youy just spray the same stuff, sand & buff?
it would take alot of cans to do the spray thing (and hope you have one of those trigger holder thingys), the roller would be more uniform and less runs than a spray can or are you talking about using a compressor spray gun??
the idea is to get rid of all the blowing air which includes the dust, dirt and bugs, cleanup mess and pre-paint prep of taping/masking

I see but getting paint in tight areas might be a challenge. It just seems to be for a lesser of a car to me....cheap paint is, well cheap. You might as well just get a cheap gallon of enamel and have at it. It seems then you wouldn't have to go through all the sanding. I guess it would be good for a temporary paint job....but you are just making more work for the next paint job.

It takes 11 cans to be exact. It took three people about an hour do put two coats on the car.

This is a good temporary paint job and helps protect the car while you are working on it. My car was never garaged until I had the silver paint put on. The rustolium can be washed and touched up as needed. For us guys that tend to be the white trash of the neighborhood, it makes the car less of an eyesore when the city drives by.
well.. i am not the white trash of the neighborhood.. but then again, i am the only one out here with a mopar project in the driveway that is torn to pieces.. hey at least i drink good beer when i work on it.. no natty in this fridge.. and i stand by that! (Sam Adams! or Sierra NV... Rogue and Dechutes Brewery when i can get it!!! oh how i miss the NW).
no offense but trust me when i say if your the ONLY one working on your car in the driveway then you ARE the white trash of the neighborhood even if nobody has mentioned it yet.........
if your lucky enough to live somewhere that has several people working on cars then i want to move to your neighborhood..........
For those interested in some roll on results, when I do get back to the car, I will be continuing this way... here's the front bumper (though it's not a great pic - colour is very rich, deep, with a very high gloss).

I'm new of course. bought a 68 out of Iowa for 2,000 dollars on Saturday, brought her home to Wichita, KS. Very rough but I see great potential in her. Frame rails are very bad in the trunk and various locations along the body :'( usual rust in the trunk and floor pans. Original 383 with original 727 torqueflite and factory AC, still has the *Airtemp by Chrysler* sticker in the passenger quarter window :icon_smile_big: Someone tried to turn it into a General Lee :-\ Im gonna put her back to her mostly original self. Slow going for a while, gonna strip it down out in my barn and rebuild her one piece at a time.. ive got more pics stuck on my camera but cant find the damn usb adapter cable, once i do ill get the rest posted. Hope to meet alot of you as my own mopar comes to life over the next few years :icon_smile_wink:

Black Betty on Black Friday down by the river (3). And Sinnamon's old rusty mural decklid hung on the garage wall finally!!!

What did you use for the front spoiler????

What did you use for the front spoiler????
It's a plastic 69 Camaro spoiler kit you can get anywhere on ebay or whatnot. Line it up, drill a couple holes.
There's a center brace rod that goes to the middle / bottom of the spoiler, if you make that go to the 7/16s bolt that is just in front of the radiator support, it'll line up pretty well.
I believe there's a longer version also... but I find the 69 just gets over curbs and stuff without screwing anything up.
BrianShaughnessy thats VERY SHARP. 1st_Charger Ive been telling you that you need one of those spoilers for yours.
SCHWING! I never get tired of seeing Black Betty :cheers: Any new pictures of Sinnamon besides the trunk lid one? I need my dose of T5! :2thumbs:

Hi . Im new . After some very hard times the past couple of years i finished my charger this summer. I did all the work my self except some help with paint and body . I returned every thing to stock original except for the body color.

looks good with the centrelines :yesnod:
no original color Eh , if you don't mind me asking ! what was the original color combo :popcrn:
Nice car trakpac440. I like the Centerlines too (and the color).
Very sharp silver love the black vinyl top
I just might paint mine silver.
Hi. the original color combo was triple tan T5 exterior tan top, tan interior. One reason i didnt go with the orig como was i didnt have the original engine and i dont plan on selling it anyway. I like the black and silver look. It still has the original trans and dana. When i got the car it was hemi orange color faded with black top and the interior had a almost floresent orange diamond tuck cloth from back in the 1970 era. When i was disassembling the interior i found that after removing the cloth most of the interior panels where damaged from spray glue the clotch was glued on every where i will try to post some before pics. It now has black interior.
Thanks mike.

Silver and black. :2thumbs:
Welcome! NICE '69!!! I was at the show in Everett back in June and I was definitley drooling over your Charger :yesnod:
Great looking car! Black and silver look real good.The stance is perfect looking at it should make a chevy pee on its self. My car is not original color or # matching anything. I like it that way so I can make it the way I want it.
Love the black and silver! Well done.
Thanks for the comments. I wish the wheather was better here in rain central so i could drive it more. :icon_smile_big:

Had some more photos on my phone but cant get them downloaded yet . It took about 5 hours and they uses it for 15seconds , all good fun though

pretty sure it wasn't brother in the literal sense
Hey, new here. I own a pair of Mopars, a 1972 Dodge Challenger and a 1970 Dodge Charger. The Challenger is a 318 with a 904 auto, it was my first car I bought 13 years ago when I was 15. I drove it all through high school, college and now has two baby seats strapped in the back seat, it's part of the family. The Charger has a 400 big block (originaly a 383 car), 4spd., and 8 3/4 sure grip. I bought it when I was 17 and it's been a work in progress since. Between racing and raising a family it's been put on the back burner more than once but I plan on getting it going again real soon. Below is a pic of my two mopars, more pics to come :yesnod:
WELCOME! Nice cars! Anxious to see more of them.
welcome roundyrounder :2thumbs: another 70 charger joins the group :boogie:
hello & welcome RR :cheers: :cheers: looking forward to seeing pictures :yesnod: :popcrn:
From a 70 owner to another....Welcome, make sure you register it over on the 70 site unless you have already.
Thanks for the warm welcome. Here's some ugly pics of the Charger taken a couple years back. All the sheet metal in the rear is being replaced but the rest of the body is pretty straight and solid

Thank you!
Of course, Nacho is a very good friend, we appreciate him very much! One common friend sold me the car.
It seems that this is one of two ´69 Chargers remaining in Venezuela (The other one sits crashed in a parking lot). I know there are two ´68s and one pal has a ´70. They were imported, because between 68-70 only Coronets were produced here. After that, between 71-74, Chargers like Nacho´s one were produced by Chrysler in our country. Because Venezuela produces cars since 1948 (GM de Venezuela), importing cars has been restricted along many years, with few examples like the 5 ´68-´70 Chargers mentioned.
Here's Charger Mikes' '70 500 with some tasty Mods... and Richard and Kyle Petty's autographs... :popcrn:

And added a "500" to the stripe. Very nice.

other crashed in parking lot !! what sort of condition is that one in !! could try to buy for spares or repair !!
i did glass over the r/t on the scoops. and the tail stripe is painted on. this has been redone frame up. it was a joy to put together. ariz. car all factory sheet metal. 5 years to restore and worth every minute.
I like it :2thumbs: !
Hey all. I found some of the photos of my car when i first got it. You can see the awesome sun faded worn out orange diamond tuck interior she had. I removed most of it before i took the pics. The whole interior was covered. There was spray glue all over everything. I have more pics of the build somewhere in storage. The grille was damaged and the r/f fender was wasted . I found a good grill and a fender and assembled it and then drove the car to my friends shop. Durung the tear down i found 2 of the build sheets. One of them was in the back seat and is in perfect condition. Original spare tire, jack assembly, Even still has the cover that goes over the gas filler tube and hides the jack.

It is amazing what you find under paint!

Not sure if I am supposed to put all these here? O well.
you should start your own thread and repost these so people can follow your work
It was a Colorado car its whole life and still is, I have the original bill of sale from Colorado Springs.
Should I do that on the discussion thread?
just post under the everything charger thread. these pic's will get lost in here but if you have a thread you add to it will continue your story to the end :2thumbs:
yep charger discussion
Hi guys, from Australia and these are my Dads 2 Dodge Chargers. We have some other Chrysler products, but they aren't dodge chargers...
Anyway, the 69 is one he has had for 33 years. Recently got a paint freshen up and a 493/383 engine.
The 67 is a 383 4 speed car which just need a lick of paint to be a real nice car.

Hi guys, from Australia and these are my Dads 2 Dodge Chargers. We have some other Chrysler products, but they aren't dodge chargers...
Anyway, the 69 is one he has had for 33 years. Recently got a paint freshen up and a 493/383 engine.

Hi
I´m Markus from Blackforest, located in the southwest of Germany near the Swiss/France border. I got to know about your great site :thumbsup: in the fbbo forum.
I had my first look onto a mopar muscle in the late nineties and some visits of german mopar meeting (Moparshop) followed. I finally found my mopar in winter 2007/2008 and bought it about half a year later for getting it trough technical inspection (TUEV) and get historic license plates. Since then I do all whats neccesary to keep it on the road.
cheers

Hi everyone. Great site!
I am a Mopar fan from South Africa and have a 71 Charger RT (WS23) (440 Magnum 4bbl, auto, Hidden headlights, ac, ps, disc brakes, headlight washers and many more options. All Chargers are very rare here although there are a few 2nd gen and 3rd gen around, this is the only 71 RT I know of in South Africa.
I am looking forward to starting restoration soon.

Hi all, I'm Neil and I'm new here. I'm a Canuck in Puerto Rico and am trying to collect/rescue as many Mopars as I can down here. Here's a few pics of the 72 I just bought. It hasn't made it home yet, but the day is getting closer.

So are you taking the Mopars with you when you move back to Canada or just saving what you find while in Puerto Rico?
I'm not going back to Canada. I got married down here last year so I'm here for good now. My wife turned into a Mopar fan so she's all for picking up whatever we can. I bought a 73 Duster 340/auto car for her that I'm going to paint Panther Pink with flat black hood when I get finished with the body work.

Ok
Not the same but my former boss was from Cuba & he was one sharp car guy, because he had to be. No such thing as PepBoys in Cuba so he rebuilt EVERYTHING on his 50 something Mopar. How is getting parts for you.....is the shipping high?
Nice cars & I look forward to your projects.
getting parts here hasn't been too bad yet. I have an Auto Zone within 5 minutes, a Pep Boys 5 minutes in the other direction, and an Advanced Auto Parts right across the road from them. The Cuda has been pretty easy to find parts for so far and I have a friend with a gen 3 Charger sitting in the field next to his house that I plan on getting everything I can from. I found a guy last week that has a warehouse full of Mopar stuff that I'm planning on shopping in too. So far I haven't had to get anything shipped here, but since it's part of the US I don't think it's too high.

Sweet ride, I had a model of a 71 charger that same color with a blown Hemi sticking out of the hood. I love that year charger.
What a great view! Duluth is a great city! I should take some pics of my Charger there once I get it done!
C'mon up! We'll get some side by side too!

Here's a couple of pics of my recently acquired Charger.
It was a Cali car, fairly good condition, just needs a little TLC!! lol
It now resides in sunny Queensland, Australia!

And another!

Nice....I thought you guys only drove Ford Falcons down under? What size tires are in the rear of your charger..they look huge!
My guess 295-50-15 is my shot.
Thanks,
Hard to stay away from mopar when you're father's a mopar maniac!
He's got a couple of american chargers, some aussie chargers, and a couple of plymouths.

Looks to be in good shape cept the rear valance but I have seen Charger in WAY worse shape for starting points. :2thumbs:
Thanks guys, here is some more pics, I haven't registered yet.
FYI I searched over 5 years for any 1969 charger project local and this is the 1st one I found. :o
$3,500 with extra parts.10 minutes from my house. :cheers:

I see a fender tag. If you post it up someone here could decode it for you. 3500 is a steel & if that is a real RT you did very well.

2nd line from the bottom, first code on the left - W1 is the color. I will give you one guess what color that is, but also let you decifer it for the fun of it. The decoder gives you the description for what the code applies to, the paint codes page will give you the color.
Nice project! :yesnod:

Yea that tail light panel blows my mind. The seller told me the motor/tranny wasn't #s matching and the guy he bought it from 19years ago pulled the originals out to rebuild and said when your done restoring it come back and I'll sell it to you. He never restored the car and it sat in his barn for 18 years thats when he sold his land and my car sat were I found it.He gave me directions, I found the place he described and a elderly lady answer the door.She said her husband passed away about 1yr ago and wasn't ready to sell anything.She remembered my charger.
hello ladies and gentemen this is my project car.
it is a dodge charger se that was imported brand new in Greece back in 1974!!!

welcome to the site.looks like a good one
thank you all guys nice to find you, it may looks good but it has big rust problems in the roof (thank you vinyl top) and floor panels
front and back are like the flinstones car :P
the car havent got the original engine (318) becauce the first owner replaced it with a v6 from a ford for economy reasons :icon_smile_dissapprove: you know its very very hard to restore an american muscle here in Greece,
all the parts must be imported from america, so this doubles the cost and nobody have really experience in this cars.... my plans is to put back a v8 engine probably 318 and go with the stock type of rebuilt as its possible.
I hope to have your help in this :icon_smile_big:
First thing is try and find someone who repairs car bodies using metal not filler, that will solve a big part of the location issue.
Next don't buy anything till you get several replies of that's what you NEED to have.
Then depending on what your budget is figure out what you must HAVE to finish the Charger & just want because you like it.
Also don't throw anything away you take off the car, as you never know if it is easily replaced. The exception being rusty sheetmetal
thanx green :2thumbs:

Thanks. Memory is pretty vague on the brown car. 318. I think someone used it for parts.
This was back in the late 80s. There's another one in background in a couple of shots.
'69 383-2bbl car. Brother's as well.
oh right :yesnod: thanks for sharing the pictures and info :cheers: :cheers: :2thumbs:
Yeah I noticed the car with the writing too. In the last shot you can see the back of it. The trunk reads "SIX PACK TO GO" :coolgleamA:

Possibly a cool story to go with it, never heard the history though. There was no motor and trans with the car and it had a ton of plastic holding it together. Had that car been around today, it would have been an ok project for someone ambitious (bad frame pieces). I think because it was in the 80s and didnt have R/T stamped on it, there was no interest other than to strip it.
Here's a link to another thread of the '68 for those that crave pics like myself :)
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,73441.0.html
Its on Kijiji as well. I dont know if this is the guy I sold it to (it was 20+ years ago). I've responded to the ad , but never heard back. Someone else mentioned the same thing about not hearing back. I had posted my story on another forum and someone from Detroit did get a hold of the guy when it was on Craig's List with a phone number.

Hi there,
I found this site via Proboards, so this is my first post. I've attached a picture of my Charger (all being well) that arrives Thursday. It has sidepipes which I believe a few owners have suggested/asked about. Well here you go, this is what they look like.....

A pic of "SIX PACK TO GO". Maybe someone here knows something? Had an R/T headlight door, but I'm pretty certain it was a 318 car. Hood was cut for a scoop. Was in London Ontario in the 80s. That's all I really know as it wasn't around my brother's shop very long. That service center is still in business, so maybe I'll drop by there some time and see if they remember it. I'm curious now. My '67 Satellite convertible in background. Too far gone, so it was parted out.

And a pic of the background Charger from the other pics. '69 383-2bbl. Had a '68 drivers fender and grill.
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/simplystressed/69charger383.jpg)
Here's mine.
Still needs a bit of cleaning up under the hood and a few other bits and pieces.
It's an XS29 R/T 440 4 speed Charger with Six Pack set up.

Yeah. The Charger is longer and sleeker and the Camaro is taller and...husky. Exactly! It's a very interesting photo like that...seeing the difference in design philosophy.

Shit I didn't even notice before how dark my windows look in pic 2.
As a matter of fact I tint windows for a living and have my own shop. The tint is just a 35% film but I applied a second layer on the rear window recently. Lol it looks like 5% from that picture.
Thanks for the positive comments guys :2thumbs:
Actually went to a show today, It was the All Australian Car show an hour from where I live. But they allow any decent car to park up on the sidelines too.
Decided Wednesday night to Duke up for today.
I was originally going to build my car as a GL but changed my mind half way through.. hence the Vectors and HO paint job. I made magnetic numbers and flag and even had a mate fabricate me a push bar. So with a couple of hours work she had a sex change and became a he for the day.
I set up a chair close to my car and it's amazing how many more comments and photos were taken with the war paint on. Everybody from kids to oldies know the General Lee lol.
But I'll refit a new rear stripe this week and pull the push bar off and go back to the plain old Charger look.
I think Australian Hotwires or Magnums would also look good on a Charger... Group C / Sports Sedan it up a bit :yesnod:
Was a nice day earlier this week, so I decided to get some gas! My front suspension is a lot better now with all the new bushings and stuff!
Bad ass! :punkrocka:
Very nice grdprx
Hey Freddy, I'd like to see more of your charger!
The one in my pic isn't mine its was the General Lee that was restored on some tv show.. think chip foose had something to do with it? I have a 69 im restoring i just haven't posted any pics of it or started a restoration thread yet.. Im expecting it back from the body shop in a few weeks, ill post then :boogie:
From today.
Washed and ready to roll.
Now I just need to find a car show to go to.

Looks like he swapped hoods, not trying to be a jerk but the current hood looks a little darker.
FWIW I liked the other hood with the SS scoop.
This hood is a bit darker and was 1. Not painted with the same batch of paint as the car was 2. has been sitting in the garage the last 2 years. Other hood with scoop will go back on after my summer trip.
first spin this year, great feeling!
:cheers: Lookin good! Nice Charger.

keep the chrome smoothys :yesnod:
I had chrome reverse on mine for years but without the center cap. :2thumbs:
It gives the car a look out of the 70's IMO. That could be good or bad depending on your taste.
ive been working on it for 6 years now almost done
Got recent pics? :scratchchin:
Here are a couple more recent pics
Here is one of my old beater.
Different looks my car has had over the years. First pic is from 1978 and the rest are thru the 80's.
Found this. We attended a local cruise night last year and someone videotaped some of the cars leaving and lo' and behold there is my car around 49 seconds into the video.

nice cars....
Mine back in 2002 when i first bought it.. :icon_smile_big:
Took the Charger out for a longer shakedown cruise and blow out the carbon with some WOT runs. Stopped for gas and my 8 year old took some pictures.

I like bridges.
I like your Charger next to bridges. :cheers:
Here's my 2011 Charger R/T that I took possession of last week after waiting 4 months... Blackberry color, All Wheel Drive (I live in Northern Minnesota), 5.7L (370hp) Hemi. Beautiful car! Too bad Dodge didn't offer Chrome wheels as an option on the AWD. I have to have the stock rims chromed in Minneapolis, Mn to get the look I want. I still can't believe the quiet inside the car. Wow! Sirius Radio, 8.4 inch information center with a backup cam, Voice recognition for radio and telephone. And the best part is that that the Charger still gets up and MOVES. Yes.. It does smoke the tires when I stand on it; Not bad for a 4 door.
welcome moparowner. :2thumbs:
Nice. I never knew they offered an AWD option.

I dont think the did before. New for this year I believe.
my 73 SE... Originally a 400 now it has a 440, standard gauge cluster went out for a ralley cluster, bench seats replaced with buckets Originally green w/white vinyl it is now plum crazy waiting on a new black vinyl cover. Still a long ways to go before it's finished but I am slowly plugging away at it... If only my wife would get a second job to help pay for it!!

This latest gas spike has quite a few long time new Charger owners trading their rides in for some thing more economical from reading @ the LX Forum.
While I love my Magnum, what I'm really wanting is a Grand Cherokee SRT AWD. From what I've read those things flat get with the program. I'd still have the capability of putting my chair in back like I do the Magnum.
Interestingly enough the Magnum has held residual value since purchasing it 2 years ago. Dealers are actually asking more than what I paid for mine with same mileage.

dustin simmonds - i use a canon 5D mark II, awesome, awesome camera. I mostly use a wide angle lens but would like to get some other lenses as well. Maybe if I sell the car for a decent amount I'll be able to upgrade a bit (I won't be Charger free, I have to have either a 68 or 69 for sure).

Phwoar that looks great My68!!!!
Made a little change today myself.
Decided to see how the Charger looks with a white stripe instead so an hour or so later......
viola, a white stripe!

Not sure it'll stay yet as I'm rather partial to the black stripe but when it's only an hour's work, I can always change it back.

The white stripe does look good.. I bet it'll grow on ya and you'll like it as much as the black one..
Yeah, we'll see.
Fortunately I'm in a position to change it whenever I like.
Heres a couple pics from a local car show yesterday. :2thumbs:
I like the white stripe, so much in fact I'm thinking of buying one off you :lol: ....
Why not change the R/T in the stripe to something like "01" for something different?
I think the Charger needs the chrome bumpers... That black one is nice, but.. it just looks like it is missing something. speaking of bumpers, i need mine rechromed. Anyone know a good place in Easter North Carolina?

Is it just an illusion? Or is this Charger slightly wide bodied at the wheel wells?
Its not any wider than normal, must be the angle. I will say I'm getting ready to put some bigger tires on the rear though.
As for the bumpers, i like them. i think they give it a more aggressive look. I know I've seen threads debating chrome vs. painted, so i thought I would see what people think.
im on the "like the painted bumpers on this car " side. looks so smooth this way. good job :2thumbs:

1968_Charger your car is absolutely gorgeous! I love the all black look.
I love your grill too. I just finished repainting mine and was debating whether or not to paint the "argent grey" surround or leave it satin black. You have just made up my mind!
Thanks alot. When I decided to paint the car black I went with painting the grill and surround all black. I think it adds to the aggressiveness and highlights the trim around the grill also.

Got my #-matching '69 with lots of information about its 41-year-one-family history (from the 71 year old daughter of the original buyer) in January. Unfortunately, they tried to get it repainted and the painter did a real bad job. But, to be honest, I don't think that I'll re-paint it in short time. It has almost no rust (only rear fenders just a little -> next winter) and still the original trunk-floor :icon_smile_big:
It's a non-R/T, non-SE, non-Whitehat but very original.
Runs and drives just great and I get a lot of thumbs up - even here in Germany :2thumbs:

My 70. Originally had a 318, now sports a 67 440. Its no show car, but is a blast to drive.

that 2 hour drive got to stretch her legs a little bit!
Did you buy the car in Germany or had it shipped there?

I found it only after it was shipped to Germany already. I was thinking about using my holidays in FL to check some Chargers out, but my finance dept was kind of opposed to spending quality time
in addition to the money :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:
awesome looking chargers Guys ... :yesnod: :drool5:

:coolgleamA: nice original looking 68 , whats the story?? would love to see more pictures sometime :yesnod: :popcrn:
My wife is the third owner and has owned "Galahad" since 1982. The original owner purchased the car here in Western PA in November of 1967 and took exceptionally good care of it. The glove box still has receipts for every oil change and service that was performed. A young man purchased the car from the original owner early in '82 and did some DIY cleanup and restoration before I bought it as a birthday gift for my wife in June of '82. We had it repainted shortly after we got it. The carpet had a hole worn where the driver's heel rested and the driver's seat was split. We got new carpet from ACC and Legendary used the original front seat cover to reproduce the correct vinyl(s). The front seat covers are from Legendary and the rear seat cover is original and you can't tell the difference. The rest of the car is original. I suspect that the build sheet is still where it was put in 1967. The vinyl top and interior (bucket seats) are dark green. The engine is a 383 - 2 barrel - single exhaust. These pictures were taken in '07 for insurance documentation. That's why the Hemmings with the date shown. The car still looks as nice.
Thanks for the welcome and the kind words,
Bruce Coen

I was thinking the same thing. They appear to have a hard chine like a bias ply.
Looks good
They don't make those tires anymore. I think they are the same as the Eagle GT 2 or the Eagle LS
Have not posted my car on this thread before. I am going to a car show this Father's day and I have never had this car shown. I've alway been rather embarrassed at scratches and the original door panels on my car so it has been hiding in a garage. It's a driver but I figured if I was a kid who has never seen one, then I would like to see it.
Another

:2thumbs: Looks good to me. As far as the scratches I kinda like those cause it shows it that is a person who goes out and enjoys their car. And thats what it is all about.... well at least to me.
i wouldnt be afraid to show that car any where. nice car. people will love to see it. :2thumbs:
:drool5: :drool5:
Plum, I will relieve you of any and all embarrassment, I will ease your pain! I'll be at your house at noon tomorrow and take custody. :D
The world needs to see this beauty, so show it off please. :2thumbs:

Hi,
This is my first post. I tried to attach four photos (each under 200K), but preview doesn't show them. When I hit the POST button, I got an error message that one of the four file names attached duplicates another file name. No idea which of the four files is a duplicate because it doesn't tell me
My Charger is a '69 with 383 and 4-speed. I'm the original owner, and it's stlll in my garage undergoing prep for a new paint job.

My idea was to make a more sinister version of the general lee, thus I needed the numbers on the door. I like the number 8 because I feel its more balanced than say a 2 or a 7 (not to knock anyone's favorite numbers haha). That and I had loony aspirations of have the car done in 2008 if I remember correctly :rofl: :slap:

Gotcha, I thought maybe it was when your kid was born, or when you graduated from school (rich parents :nana:) or something in that nature. If you wanted a really cool number.... you should have went with pi... :lol:
You gotta admit a door with the number 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286 208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481 would look pretty sweet!
Lol the idea of having a kid at 21 gave me shivers. Ive paid for this thing myself...and now can't afford school! Or a kid for that matter haha :icon_smile_tongue:!
And you might get a kick out of this song...

Props to you for making such a fantastic car so young. My father and I have been working on my car for 8 years now and we still haven't gotten it even close to the level yours is. Great job! :2thumbs:

Both cars look to be a light shade of green. So is it true the reason green was so popular back then was all the service guys' coming back from Vietnam wanted green to match the equipment they ran when overseas?
It´s been a while when I posted my Charger here, so here is one pic from today´s cruising :cheers:

No, it ain´t Hemi at all :rotz: It has 440cid Magnum engine. Previous owner just have put those Hemi emblems to doors and I haven´t removed those yet.

Beautiful car! Black and Silver have always been a favorite color combination for me. I also really like the stance of the car . Pictures are great. Go easy on the tires! :lol:

Well, I´m not so big Hemi enthusiast so that doesn´t bother me really.. :icon_smile_wink: Only those emblems are silly because there is no Hemi engine. Those are Weld ProStar 8x15 and 10x15 wheels with 225/60 and 295/50 tires :2thumbs:
My one owner 73 Charger SE. :2thumbs:

Me and my first charger in 1984
Love the old photos. :drool5:
My first Charger back in 1984 or so, owned the car back in Miami FLA until 1987 when I sold it to buy another 69 Charger. This car was painted dark blue, Q5 originally with 383 H code black int and black top. Not for buying, but I do wonder where the car is and if it has been fixed up or restored.
Heres mine just before i stripped it down, now its at the body shop

Here are a few more old ones. I still have the girl, too, but sadly, not the dog.
Great pix BJ8.
Both cars look to be a light shade of green. So is it true the reason green was so popular back then was all the service guys' coming back from Vietnam wanted green to match the equipment they ran when overseas?
Well, the reason mine is Light Metallic Green is because my wife agreed with me that it was the best of the available colors. Since we both liked it, the choice was easy. She let me pick everything else. Actually, I always thought that Light Metallic Green was rather rare. I have only seen one other Charger on the road since 1969 that was the same green and without a vinyl top. The green '68 in the photo was seen and the photo taken by my son, not me. My personal belief is that nobody who was in Vietnam would have wanted anything back home to remind them of the experience! :rotz:
Added some stripes.

Thanks.
I am trying the side stripes for now. They are vinyl, so if I don't like them, I can just peel them off. Although they are growing on me.
I just painted the yellow one a few days ago.

If all goes will Ill be painting the 69 the same color next year, with a black 440 racing stripe. Of course its only got a 383 :smilielol:.

Yeah, the stripes look good.
I would have held off for a while, perhaps even taking some pictures before adding the side stuff. :shruggy:
Then again, you didn't ask for opinions. :lol:
I like those stripes! :cheers: If I had a 2011, I'd do the V21 hood black outs and the pin stripes on the sides like the '70 Chargers had :yesnod:

just picked up a better fender that is perfect compared to the green one on it
This is my Charger that I've put so much blood sweat and $$$ into. I have most of the glass in know and waiting
on some little stuff so I can put the interior in.

Something has to be done about the top horizontal piece though. As is, it's gonna slow the car down. Maybe that's the purpose of it, rotate vertical to help slow down when speeds reach triple digits?
I can say this, Dane's not gonna like the competition. ;)

There's nothing wrong with a little change! You can always change them back later if you don't like it. If it keeps you interested, then go for it! Wheels and tires can totally transform a car! :2thumbs: Make sure you post pics! :coolgleamA:

Yea, I am going to have to find a way to deal with that inspectors tag as it's just about to fall off. It's been bent 1 too many times. Think I will use some tape or something on the back of it to keep it from splitting in half.
Should get the car back tomorrow evening. Can't wait.

I'm pretty stoked on how everything turned out. I did most the work myself except for pain. I even did the headliner although I was warned not to I did it with the help and advice from the users on this site. I wish I discovered this site 4 years ago!!!
Good job, man! :cheers:

Musicman - What brings you up to the White Mts? Are you up to see the foliage..
Yeah, I'm coming up for the foliage and maybe the Fryeburg Fair, but mostly I'm justing heading back because I love it there.
I've been going there since I was small enough to sleep on the floor pan in the back seat of my dads car.
The mountains have always been like a home to me... it's my idea of living... I actually feel alive when I'm there. I love the woods, I love the mountains, I like small towns and small town living, and the freedoms that come with it. I like the idea that I can step out onto my back porch with a rifle and not have to worry about a SWAT TEAM showing up because some Crazy F@#$! Walmart Shopper who watches to much TV Propaganda is afraid I might be the next local serial killer living in her backyard.
I grew up in a small town farm community during the late 50's - 70's, so I guess that's what I'm use to... Fresh Air & Freedom :2thumbs:

I believe it is but I haven't given any time to determining if that is the case. The tires are 235/70-15s up front and 275/60-15s in the rear. I think the fronts are a bit to big, in hindsight I should have gone with something that would have given me less sidewall but its not so horrible I have to pull them off.

I have looked into Aspens & Cordobas as a side project to strip and abuse but my cash flow says no.
Here is a more recent pic of my 70.
not mine but very interesting.........
something looks really wrong there. :o
anybody know whats up with the altered wheel base?
not really sure what they were trying to do there , hopefully mr. landy didnt have anything to do with it ....

Yea, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.
my guess is that its either a wheel stand car or a body on a chassis that didnt match up right
that AWB Daytona is a photchop :scratchchin:
photoCHOP...
The Green AWB Daytona is from an older thread over on the Aero Cars discussion board, and yes it was "photoCHOP"ed
My hood sporting a new look, and covering up some scratches at the same time.
I made a V21 stencil from some photos off this site. I'm still figuring out the cowl layout so its not totally finished.
Anyway, got a lot of thumbs up driving around NJ this weekend.

AWESOME When I get my General done and do another 69 thats the stance and look I want with it.
Had to move the toys out of the garage this morning so I could clean the place up and get it ready for winter. Pretty much this means make room for firewood!
I thought I'd quickly take a pic or two since before long both of these will be in storage.
A few hours later my wife had the excellent idea of going to the dairy queen one last time so we took the charger out again. Gorgeous day...had to do a burnou before we came home. Was a good one as well, went sideways for quite a bit!
What, no pics of said burnout?
*sigh*

All three bulbs should be on when parking lights or the headlights are on. The inners are plain tail lights while the outer two double as brake lights. It actually looks really nice with just the outer two on.
Maybe all he has on is the brake light?

That would be the correct number of bulbs indeed, but they would be a bit dim me thinks.
This is mine with the parking lights on, engine is not running. Brake lights are way brighter than those.
Alright doc, what'sthe deal with the lights, we're intrigued here. :icon_smile_big:
Was just brake lights as it was daytime.
So are y'all saying that all three should be lit up when you hit the brakes?

Nope you're good. Only two light up when you hit the brakes, all three light up when you turn on the lights. I 'assumed' it was your normal taillights because of the intensity. My bad, carry on, nothing to see here. :whistling:

Here's my pair...
I've had the '67 since the summer of '99. She is currently in Silver State Classic Challenge www.sscc.us (http://www.sscc.us) open road race trim, but has been a drag racer most of the time I've owned her with a best of 10.75 @ 125.75. Original 440/727 car, still running the original block but stroked to 496 and putting out 644HP/684lb.ft. on pump gas. She's run the Silver State 110 and 125 classes with a 140 coming up in May. The 140 class will allow me to do 165mph. Not bad for no overdrive. 140 mph is 4900 rpm, trans slipping 1.5% and getting just shy of 11 mpg.
The '68 was a gift from my wife for my 30th B-day in Jan '10. It is a midlife crisis car that I have to build myself, and since she figured it would take 10 years to finish, I ought to have it right on time for my 40th. It spent at least 25 years in Mexico and is a nightmare of silt induced rust. Solid floors and frame, everything else is trashed.She has been thoroughly deconstructed, partially blasted (lost the weather) and is undergoing the cut and past of good metal for bad.

What about that overdrive? It should be a great addition for your racing. Keep us posted.
Thanks for the :2thumbs: The ORR was actually my fathers dream, but he didn't have a car for it. For Christmas I told him if he wanted to fund the necessary parts for the initial change-over to road race, I would convert my drag car for him to run in. At the time it was running bottom 11's and putting out 609HP at just 5700 and 647lb.ft at 4400. We ran the numbers, and realized with a custom converter and 2.76's we could do 140 at about 4800 rpm in D. Running the 125 class would restrict us to 140 anyway, so no overdrive was needed. Silver State requires you to work our way up the speed indexes. Your first run is restricted to a max of the 110 class, the second can be up to the 125, the third up to 150, the fourth up to 180, and then you can do "Unlimited". Since it was his gift I let him drive and I navigated. We've run the 110 and 125 classes together, and in May of this year, I solo'd for my first run as driver in the 105 class. Long story short, I lost the engine in the Charger at the qualifier in Vegas 2 days before the real race so I rented an '11 Camaro from Enterprise and ran the 105. I would have run the 110 but the tires were only rated to 118 and they agreed to let me run if I backed down a class to give a better safety margin. I had to race something so I could move my way up the brackets as a driver. With the current setup, I can run the 150 class without straining the engine. 160 will be at 5500 and there is no need to go any higher than that to maintain the needed 150 average even though it certainly can. My biggest problem is aero. I have WAY too much air going under the car. I was hoping the '69 Camaro splitter that everyone uses would work, but it mounts the the '68's valence which is not there on a '67. I'll be building a 4" dam/splitter that attaches to the bottom of the bumper. The engine is all back together, and now has ported heads and a better cam and power is right at 644/684.
If someone knows how to post video's off youtube rather than just links, let me know. I have a couple cool ones from the course workers of the car going by at speed. I linked them in my previous post.
Awesome cars 67Charger440
Here.s my rides - 71 RT and 73 SE
great to see a 1st gen going all out at an open road event, thats been my dream for many years too, where ya from?? how far do you have to go each year to get here?? PM me if ya don't want it all out here.
I drive up from SoCal to Ely, NV which is about 575 miles each way. I found a cool pic that was snapped during the run... 136mph (actually reading a little low), 4900 rpm and 1/4 tank of fuel (actual was well over half). This car, with a few aero tweaks will top out in the 150 class, top speed allowed will be 165. Any more will require OD.
i see the gas gauge dropping as i look at the pic. :smilielol:

If I fail one more time I'll just give up and get drunk instead...........
looks like a sobering evening. great pic :2thumbs:
jaak, nice green colour, looks like Sassy Grass Green to me. A lot of nice Chargers in this thread. I'm amazed how many people bypassed the factory colour and chose to paint the colour they like instead. Considering the large number of R/T clone (tribute) cars, why not? Actually, my '69 Charger (the red one a few posts back), is also a clone. It is now red, black interior, console, floor shift, 440, torqueflite, Dana rear. It started out as Y3 cream, white interior, no console, column shift, 318, 904 auto, 7.5 rear and air conditioning. Here is a pic of my car as found unrestored in Corsicana Texas.

your car has some nice company there. :yesnod:
Perfect look. Someone here said '68s look great in black. He was right. :yesnod:
Someone has said allmost all 68's are black also. :stirthepot: :icon_smile_big:
Is it me, or does that '68 have 15" wheels in the back and 16's in the front?? :scope:
I gotta say, no matter how sweet Chargers look painted black, I don't know that I'd personally want the extra cleaning associated with having a car that colour with every little speck of dust and finger print showing up.
How much of a headache is it for you guys with black Chargers, especially if you take it out a lot?
Admittedly it is a bit of a pain in the "_ " but I factored that in when I decided to go with the black.
And besides, keeping her clean is a labour of love. :icon_smile_wink:
And if I had to do it over, I would do it the same again.

How it looked recently. Still lots of work to do. May need some guidance with the finishing touches and it looks like this is the place to be for that. Ray

how about a recent side shot ray?? very curious what those strobe stripes look like when full on

Hi Robert.Here is a shot from the side. I purchased the hood black out stencil but have decided to go with without for the power bulge. If anyone needs a stencil I am willing to part with it for half of new plus shipping. Ray

Beautiful car, Ray.
Thanks for the compliments. This car was originally from California , not numbers matching and my first and last attempt at doing this. Has been fun and I am getting closer to the day I can turn the key. A lot of inspiration on this awesome site. Just what I need to see this through. Ray

wow i love it... Flat Black stripe on white color.. beautifull, steellies wheel nice choice too. your car is beautifull.
the before had strobes on the roof, not keeping them?? i had never seen that done before, thought it was interesting
as for the hood, it sure would be sweet witht he black out on it..................
Sorry. I missed the point on the strobe. The car had been parked since 87. I picked it up in 91. The strobe was painted on at some point early on. I am torn on the hood blackout to be honest. Still time to decide. I may end up flipping a coin. Right now I am working on the engine. I discovered the hard way that you can not ram a 3/8" oil dipstick tube in a 11/32" hole. Who thinks these things up anyway?
I am in need of a hood black out for my '74. Where are you from, Ray?
Manitoba, Canada

Hi there,
I am new to this board so let me first tell you something about me. My name is Marcus and I am 38 years old. I live in Hamburg (in the north of Germany), so please excuse my english.
I was searching for a 1968 Charger for about two years. It's very hard to find Chargers here in Germany. But finally with some bottles of beer in my head I found this forum and searched the "Cars for Sale" Topic. And there I found this beauty from a board member, so somebody may recognize this car. This is my first american car. And my first "real" musclecar. I think you can't call german cars "musclecars". Even if they have a big-block an a lot of horse-power. Our daily drivers are a Audi RS5 and a Audi RS6. And if the weather is fine I use a Audi A4 convertible.
So, thats enough from me. Here are some pictures of my new love :cheers:
Welcome Erzfreund. Nice car you have there. I'm sure it will be a real show stopper having a car like that in Germany. It looks just like my '69 which you can see here on page 210. I agree the German cars are best when it comes to a daily drive. I have a Mercedes E320 Bluetec diesel for the daily drive. Best car I ever had. Enjoy your Charger. Don't forget to post the Autobaun video on Youtube with the speedometer pegged.
I've seen you Charger. Very very nice. I will take a video from the autobahn when i have a co passenger on my side. Would you like to see the charger speedo or the one from the Audi?

The Charger please but, don't kill yourself for me. The handling might not be as good as your Audi.
Okay. I will take a video and upload it to youtube. I have a nice Autobahn here, with a very long straight an no speed limit. I think the charger will go straight without any trouble. Handling not necessary ;)
Nice cat by the way. I have 4 cats too!

Hey Erzfreund, are you going to take it to the air strip drag races? There's a guy named Chris from Germany ('67 red Charger) that's on the 66-67 Charger forum that takes his car to organized races that they hold at a local airport. Do you know him?

Dear Mike, the guys from my local garage overhauled the gearbox. The first time it was very hard for me to drive that beauty, but now I got it. It's so much fun to drive that car, but at the moment the car sleeps in my garage because of the weather here.
I had to install the heating and wiper, because we have no such weather that you have in Las Vegas. For example, we have now 14 degrees Fahrenheit and some snow.
I will send you some nice pictures if the weather gets better an I have found a nice background for the pictures.

I don't know him because I am new to the scene. But maybe I will meet him this year at the "Street Mag Show" here in Hamburg.
If someone don't know what to do in springtime and has some money left for travel. Why not joining me at the "Street Mag Show" in Hamburg held on the 19th and 20th of May 2012. Just send me a PM so I can get in contact with you.
Here are some expressions of last years show. The expect about 2000 vehicles this year.

If you're looking to race her you should consider attending the Mopar Nationals Germany. It's no timed race but great fun!

Is the Imperial the only classic you have Carsten?
My family drivers are a 2000 Stratus, a 96 Sebring droptop and a 2010 Grand Caravan.
My classic is a Mopar-by-acquisition '71 AMC Javelin ADPS 401 Special (one of 61 marked '71 highway patrol Javelins built for Alabama) currently awaiting a full resto to police-duty specs (currently a custom purple I can't wait to make go away).
I know, not a Charger. Shoot me. :icon_smile_cool:

Hi,
no, I have several Mopars. My B-bodies are usually just "toys" which I use for fun but I always have a few fuselage C-bodies for the average driving.

Sure. Here she is halfway home and just hosed off for the first time in a decade...at my sister's home near Newport News, VA.
(http://www.javelinamx.com/javhome/jwr/71ADPS/092605dm.jpg)
I live in northwestern New Jersey and the car was discovered outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama by a total stranger who knew of my website for these rare beasts, and contacted me to confirm what he had found. I explained it was indeed a real one, and if he didn't want it, I'd love to grab it. He contacted me a short time later, saying he could not afford it, but had passed the info to a friend he thought might want it...because he felt it should remain in AL due to its history. I explained MY fear was it would land in the hands of another hot-rodder that would change much more than the paint and that history would surely be lost. Another few weeks went by and he told me his friend had passed on it, and he provided the owner's contact info. I called the guy, said I understood he was asking $X and was interested. by now, he wasn't sure he wanted to sell it anymore and I said I don't want to come down there to see it, only to be told it's no longer for sale, so I'd need a firm price before I make the trip. He upped the asking price another $500 and I said I'd be there that weekend with that much in hand, and provided the car was as complete and rot-free as had been described, we'd have a deal.
...and we did. Here she is in storage at my in-laws' home...

(Note: the 304 emblems on the fenders were put there by me to deter a thief that might hope it has a 401 in it. All the 401 emblems are in one of several parts boxes).

Sure. Here she is halfway home and just hosed off for the first time in a decade...at my sister's home near Newport News, VA.
(http://www.javelinamx.com/javhome/jwr/71ADPS/092605dm.jpg)
I live in northwestern New Jersey and the car was discovered outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama by a total stranger who knew of my website for these rare beasts, and contacted me to confirm what he had found. I explained it was indeed a real one, and if he didn't want it, I'd love to grab it. He contacted me a short time later, saying he could not afford it, but had passed the info to a friend he thought might want it...because he felt it should remain in AL due to its history. I explained MY fear was it would land in the hands of another hot-rodder that would change much more than the paint and that history would surely be lost. Another few weeks went by and he told me his friend had passed on it, and he provided the owner's contact info. I called the guy, said I understood he was asking $X and was interested. by now, he wasn't sure he wanted to sell it anymore and I said I don't want to come down there to see it, only to be told it's no longer for sale, so I'd need a firm price before I make the trip. He upped the asking price another $500 and I said I'd be there that weekend with that much in hand, and provided the car was as complete and rot-free as had been described, we'd have a deal.
...and we did. Here she is in storage at my in-laws' home...

(Note: the 304 emblems on the fenders were put there by me to deter a thief that might hope it has a 401 in it. All the 401 emblems are in one of several parts boxes).
:coolgleamA: :2thumbs: good stuff :popcrn:
thats a sweet javelin. :2thumbs:
Yeah that is pretty sweet
I agree, that Jav is sahweeeet! Hope you bring it back to look like it did on duty..
Thanks, that's the plan- to have it look just like...

more long bumperettes for those that hadn't seen them in the other thread
very dark green...I just bought white R/T stripes on ebay this morning. $64.50 with shipping from seller 1oldmopar...usually around $100 but they finally listed a no reserve auction and I happened to see it before it ended. It definitely looks black in low light situations...when I went to buy it I thought it was black for a few minutes while it sat in the garage. It probably wouldnt be my first choice, but its the original color (or close anyway) and it's grown on me.
I like that colour

Re: the above- A very nice replica owned by Californian Matt McLaughlin.
http://javelinamx.com/javhome/copcar/McLaughlin/
It/there's also one in the opening to the MuscleCar TV Show, as it' goes after a Red DAYTONA in the opening credits..
Probably the same car. being in CA, it's been on a few shows. Best way to be certain: Cop Javelins never had bumper guards. If it has them, it's Matt's car (a former '72 AMX converted down to an SST by its previous owner, cop car author, cop car owner and actual cop, Edwin Sanow).
More great pictures of Red and Green Chargers ( that look like Black from here too ) :icon_smile_big:

Couldn't get the damn pic to load so here is my charger in avatar panel.
its probably wanting you to shrink the size. resize it, then you will have to rename it since you already tried with it, then save and retry :2thumbs: nice project though.
The first time I tried it it said that it could only take the picture in certain file types. I can't switch it on the computer I am on. And I am hoping that being my first true project that it comes out exactly as I planned.
email me a pic and i will post it tonight after i get home. :2thumbs:
Will do bud. And just so you know it is the pic that I got off of ebay. So I don't know how big the picture will a actually be once you play with it.
sounds good. :2thumbs:

Why do tires always go flat on the bottom!?!
i dont know :smilielol: this photo wouldnt load due to the file type. i ended up having to take a pic with my phone from the computer and mail it to me causing it to be a bit fuzzy.
Send the original file to me and I'll reformat and post it as clear as the original. See your PMs.
UPDATED: Here ya go. I was wrong about the flat...cuz when I zoomed in, it was fine. :D
You cheated, you pushed it out of that pot hole dint ya!
Nah...I just lowered the Earth a bit. :icon_smile_big:
:2thumbs: Thanks guys. Also thank you for lowering the earth some so the tire would be right. :smilielol: I couldn't stop laughing when I read that.
turned out good.thanks jwramc :2thumbs:
I gave it one more shot...zoomed in a bit further, tried to enhance the details a bit. It's amazing what comes out when you tweak the contrast and sharpness just a bit.
And thank you nvrbdn for helping me out by getting the pic out there. And jwramc that is just hilarious. I didn't think you could top it but that is definitely the icing on the cake. :haha:
And I luuuuuvs me some 'CAKE'! :drool5:
Heard cake is even better with strippers in them? But I have yet to have such a delicacy!

Can you make it black so I can see what that will look like? Also thanks for all these pics. Nothing like a good laugh while waiting for my shift to be over. :2thumbs:
dang that thing is running great. smokin the tires. hey the wife is cruising it while your gone. there wont be any rubber left on those tires :D
How dis?
It needs all new tires so my wife isn't driving it. And I can't buy tires right now until I can buy a cherry picker. Which means I have to sell another engine I already have. And yes that is exactly what i wanted the car to look like. I just need to figure out how to get that vinyl crap off the roof and make it look like it never existed.
now we need an exhaust hanger and chrome tips.
Quote from: nvrbdn on February 07, 2012, 09:42:59 AMnow we need an exhaust hanger and chrome tips.
Got it... and got rid of that vinyl mess, too. :smilielol:
Lol sure do. I don't know how to do all that fancy shit so we just have to wait for jwramc to fix it up for us.
Oh a good one for an avatar pic would be it doing a burnout while being a convertible. lol
:2thumbs:
sweet. :2thumbs: but if you have all that talent, put some countryside behind it.

you are a wizard. that is great. :2thumbs:
That is pretty awesome. But are those fish in the drivers seat on the avatar pick?
Umm....no.

Man now i feel so stupid. :brickwall: Even a guy I work with thought they were fish. Just swimming in thin air above the drivers seat.

Hey jwramc, what software are you playing with and how did you get the smoking tyre effect?
Love it. :2thumbs:
It's a photoShop doppleganger called Paint Shop Pro. I'm actually using a decade+ old version of it- ver.5.
The smoke is a spray painting tool. You choose how dense you want the pattern, how wide, the color you want...then just wave the cursor over the areas you want painted. I just shoot the stuff where I see it on 1:1 cars doing burnouts. Glad you like. :)
It's amazing what can be done with this kind of software...

Ok I know how to do the paint/brush stuff in edit, but I didn't realise that's what you did. Looks really cool. I'm going to have a play with my car.

You know, it's not as easy as it looks................it's obvious that any Tom, Dick or Harry (& Fred).............can't do it!!
I need plenty more practice to get to jwramc's standard.
try the spray can if you have one. :2thumbs:
And go for much less density so it speckles in a wee bit at a time. Don't worry if it looks a bit pixel-y, as you can use a softening tool to lightly blur it all after.
Quote from: nvrbdn on February 08, 2012, 09:39:05 PM

I tried that first but it did look too speckley...... pixel-y so I went for the air brush instead.

ah ha! which softening tool? (I'm just using windows paint).
Oh MY, that'll never do! I don't even think it has a softening tool.
Go here and download ver. 5.1 (what I'm using).
http://www.oldversion.com/Paint-Shop-Pro.html
And don't worry if it seems overwhelming. Practice, experiment...aw, heck....like everything else in life. :2thumbs:
Thanks for your help jwramc. I will look into it first chance I get.
and yes, practice does make perfect.................just wait till you see my next work of art!! :yesnod:

damn marcus,I wanna cry when i see that pic,,,that car is bad ass!!!! did you figure out the shifting yet
Dear Mike, the guys from my local garage overhauled the gearbox. The first time it was very hard for me to drive that beauty, but now I got it. It's so much fun to drive that car, but at the moment the car sleeps in my garage because of the weather here.
I had to install the heating and wiper, because we have no such weather that you have in Las Vegas. For example, we have now 14 degrees Fahrenheit and some snow.
I will send you some nice pictures if the weather gets better an I have found a nice background for the pictures.
Welcome to the site and I am another that knows your car well. Mike is my cousin.
Can you tell me what you had done to the transmission? And why?? Last time i drove that car it shifted hard and tight. Just what you want in a nasty fast car..
Take good care of her and let us know how she is now and then.. That car runs on Mikes blood and sweat. Now I know he's in tears...
Congrats on owning such a fantastic car.... :2thumbs:
Hi Steve,
the garage had to overhaul the gearbox because it was impossible to get into first and second gear. There was a loose bolt in there but now its fine.
The car has now learned how to react on icy steets :icon_smile_big:
Belive me. She is in good hands and everthing I'll do to her is care!
Here are some winter expressions of her:
Yuk! what's all that white stuff. :lol:
You say she's in good hands, but also that you are driving her on the ICE!! :eek2: Put her away till the roads are in real good shape... You damn sure don't want to hurt her... It sure is pretty in the snow though!!! :2thumbs:
Just for the photo Steve. She is already in the garage under my house.
Very good.... I have a new favorite picture of that car. It's pic. #2 of your last posting... That car has the most "BAD ASS" looking rear end of anything I have ever seen in a street car.. It's gonna take some getting use to the license plate though!! :coolgleamA:

That's true! Marcus was lucky however to live in a county where they let him have such a small plate! There's countys over here in Germany which make us use the classic euro-shaped plates.
And that looks disgusting on an American classic:

Our plates show the county the car's registered in (first 1-3letters) followed by 1-2 letters and 1-4 digits. Plus the letter 'H' if it's a historical car. You only get to chose the letters and digits in the middle. Not too much personalisation...
On carshows you do see interesting combinations though, some use the 2 letters in reference to the car (RR for Road Runner) and then 383 for the engine, or 68 for the year. I did see a Charger having XS 29 which was pretty cool ;-)
Glad you liked the pictures! If you're in SF and want to check the filming locations check out this website:

Keep trying with the pics. My first few attempts with pics were a no go but are never a problem now. Same with many of us. Almost seem like the site has to get to know you. Always rename your pics to something stupid that would never have been posted before. If your pic is named "'69 Charger"? Well...good luck posting that pic.
one thing you can try is emailing the pic to yourself. when you open the email, click on the pic and say save. then after it is saved,open the pic. left click on the pic and say open with, then a box will come up and chose open with microsoft. that will let you resize or rotate or rename. at the top of the page i believe you select picture and under that will be the choices. make sure you save when your done. always pic for a size web large or web small. that will pt your pic in a size that displays good on this site. at least this works on my comp.

1) The image file must be smaller than 200K.
2) Attempting to post the same image twice will not work, it must be renamed at each attempt.
3) Once a reply has failed to post it must be closed out, and a new reply must be generated for the second attempt.
4) Hosted images like those stored on Photobucket etc, can be linked to your post without issue.
5) This forum is a pain in the @$$ when it comes to posting images, but what are you gonna do, it is what it is.

:popcrn: Finally picked up another set of wheels for moving around, had this look back in the early 90s and I still like the look. :2thumbs:

:scratchchin: Thank you, Yes, they are on the list too, along with a set of center lines with the white out look. Still hard to beat the dog dishes for me.
I did get in trouble with my 5yr old son who informed me I was suppose to put them on the blue car where i have some old A/P (need a couple centers if someone has some), that was a funny conversation, he was so serious, wish I had it on tape for later yrs, guess that will be a mini project with him here in a month or so.

Yours looks just like the 70 I had back in the day, except mine was a base model 383 with a bench seat in front.
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,11167.0.html

Very Cool :cheers:
I see all these awesome old school chargers, but I got a newer one. 2008 DODGE CHARGER R/T.... yes hemi :coolgleamA:
Hope you all like it, it has 20" rims, Lambo doors, Flowmaster exhaust, K&N Cold air, and working on getting the back two doors Lambo as well :)
Uhh ohh sorry buddy this site is pretty much just for the older chargers... :poke: :whistling:
Hey Brock was your car in the parade? I was walking with Local 38 Plumbers and Pipefitters.. would have loved to have seen your car
:flush:
I don't think I've ever shared a pic of my Charger on here. It's a 1970 SE :drool5:
it needs work, but I love it.
Here's mine it'll be flat black in a few weeks. 383 hp 727 and a 8 3/4
looks good punkfan. hows the interior?
Thank you. I dont have a pitcure of it., but it is complete. Besides seat tracks... I've got the carpet out getting ready to fix the floors.

Yup, right at the front of the parade.. later i was parked in the mayors spot at city hall with the Swat/TAC squad and the Firemen and we went up to Tommy's Joint for Corned Beef and Cabbage. a GREAT Day!
Such a turnout (over) 5,000 folks in the parade I missed plenty.
BTW The grand Marshal is head of the Electrical Union. :2thumbs:
Here's a pic of my baby sitting astride the White River on the hundred + year old bridge in Smithfield, Indiana, another in my old backyard in Muncie, and the last one is in her current state- all covered up on jack stands waiting for me to get her in June to bring her to her new home in Colorado Springs. I threw in a pic of my latest Mopar hauler- My '09 Hemi Ram Sport Plus Crew Cab, a.k.a. "Bam-Ba-Lam-Whoa Black Betty" (with only 5000 miles on her). Enjoy the pics guys.
Bradley
nice bunch of mopar folks in colorado springs, wish i had never moved away
First project ever. 1973 dodge charger se with a 400 4bbl. Still got alot of work to do under the hood but its worth it.
Definitely worth it for sure! :2thumbs:
After 6 yrs
It's nice to see it start to come together now.
Love the colour. Keep the pics coming. :2thumbs:
Hi there,
Greetings from West Australia!! (Perth)...Well i have been patiently waiting to post up a pick of my hopefully new ride for the last month or so which will be ready for sale in about 2 weeks with a bit of luck (yes another one has escaped your shores and made it here :)..
Car has been here for about 2 years and current owner has been giving it anything needed to bring it up to his high stds ...
Looking forward to becoming part of the Mopar family and eagerly awaiting a phone call to say its ready for inspection and throw up some pics....oh its a 69' original BB centre console car...more to tell soon fingers crossed!!!
:cheers: Chippa
Hi mate, welcome on board.
It's a great place to spend a bit of time. Lots to learn and good times to be had here.
Looking forward to pics.
Fred :cheers:
welcome chippa. cant wait to see those pic's. :2thumbs:
Cheers Guys....hopefully the wait will be worth it!!! i have been juggling around my cars so i can make this happen,sold both my cars (one a late model Ford with about 550Hp at fly) bought another 4wd to keep the wife and kids happy,trying to find a small car for work and back and then will hopefully have the Dodge locked away in the garage....
Feel a little guilty about buying myself a toy but theres no point going thru life without enjoying it along the way hey,plus my wife is the one telling me to do it so its good to have the blessing from the minister of war and peace hahaha..
Chippa :2thumbs:
Well mate, if you've got the wife's blessing..................you've got it made! :2thumbs:
Here are a few of the 68 4bbl 383HP car I picked up a couple of months ago. It's at my bro's house in TN and he's doing the restore work for me. Car was complete and missing very little (seats appear to be wrong so I'll need a new set) but the rest of the car was there, minus stuff I was going to replace anyway. Originally red with a white vinyl top/interior, will most likely wind up metallic blue with black and a bumblebee stripe, haven't decided if I want to go black vinyl top or not.
Car has been raced before and the PO took the mainfold/carb off (replaced with an Edelbrock) and pulled the 8.75 out of the rear and stuck an 8.25 in there but I already have a donor axle from a Satellite ready to go. I have no idea what kind of cam setup he put in the car yet but it's def not stock and is a strong runner.
Front floorpans were rusted and trunk pan was gone (suprise), but was lucky to find a project car where almost everything was there

Hey Chippa, welcome. I'm in Perth too with a '68, along with another member Doc who has an orange '69. Get some pics up asap, we might see you around at some of the local events!
Hey Laxy,
Will def keep an eye out for some of its cousins when i finally purchase it...not sure how many are in this neck of the woods but it couldnt be more than 10??...i saw a very nice black 68 on Sunday :)
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d85/metaldrummer1/menkc.jpg)
Nice pair of Mopars you got there :2thumbs:
Wow looks super neat Chippa, yeah not many here, although at the Charger Club Supercruise there were 3 different green '68s!! :icon_smile_big:
I've seen 4 '69 models (+1 in Kalgoorlie) and 7 '68 models over here all up I think including mine and Doc's. And no '70s at all.

Thanks! I'm excited!
Probably something that's bright but not too light. My Victory is a color called 'KYSO' or 'Knock Your Socks Off' blue. I'd want something very similar with black panel in the back and am going to put all the chrome back on it (it's in the trunk thankfully)

Its hard to do when the family are young and when it takes place over a period of years it takes a lot to stay motivated too. Good work and its nice to see it coming together for you.

seen it for sale for a while in missouri. one mean looking charger. :2thumbs:
Yeah I bought it...it really is nice...fun to drive too. I had intentions of buying a new car. After some thought I figured a classic was way to go. I can drive it, work on it, show it, rebuild it down the road...and its still a collectable. Anyhow, that's how I justify it. Best move in my mind...

Here's my 73 SE. Grandparents bought it new in 1973 as a 318 car. Currently has a 360 and is in a slow resto process.
I like the yellow & white combo & hope you keep it. :yesnod:
hmm...it's a thought. I had planned to change it. But being the factory colors who know. I also am growing on the idea.

Here are a couple from today. Had to take it out and try the new-to-me Hurst stick I got from member Oldcarnut on this site.
:cheers: AWESOME 68! I see a theme of black. ;)
Here's one from today. It's great to be able to go for a ride now that the snow is gone.
Me,my 70 and a cool street sign
Here are some pics of my 1970 RT clone I imported into Australia from North Carolina. Had the car one the road now for 6 weeks and enjoying every minute of driving it. Unfortunately, what was advertised was not exactly what turned up. :shruggy:
I have had to replace or repair most of the steering, rebuild the front brakes, sort out the wiring........ nothing worked, now everything comes on goes off, opens and shuts. The heater core was in a bad way but I pulled it apart last weekend and sorted it. Now have heat :flame:
The centre console was only sitting in place and in a bad way appearance wise, I recovered it and refitted it properly.
Oh and the real surprise was being told the engine was a 383...........turns out its a '72 400 cubic inch. Not too worried as I read that they can be made to perform. Should give me something to do over the summer. In the mean time I have tidied up the engine bay a little.
Sorry it wasn't as advertised, but it sure looks sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!! :2thumbs:
MaxE48 that is sweet looking interior!!
Surprising how many 70 Chargers there are in Australia. A couple of Aussie export right hand drive cars as well. :2thumbs:

Yeah, I really feel for you folks overseas that import these cars w/o coming over here to look at them. You really have to wing it. One of my cars went to Australia & my 'cuda just went to Qatar. When I advertised them I mentioned folks overseas could be rest assured I was honest in my description.
Some people just don't have a conscience. Good lookin' rig though. It seems as though orange colored '70s' are popular over there. The '70 Bee I sold that went there was burnt orange.

She's a little doll. I remember that age when mine didn't have the attitude & didn't mind riding around with me.
We'll see when mine reaches driving age. Right now she doesn't want anything to do with driving. I told her it'll be a piece of cake with the hand controls in my Magnum. She doesn't have any desire to give it a try. Out of our cars she likes my Magnum the best. I'll be putting the new Challenger R/T Classic (Cragar knock offs) 20" wheels & the Challenger R/T hood/fender stripe kit in white on here shortly so she'll really...you know what, never mind. She isn't gonna care one way or the other, who am I foolin'! I'm the one who's anxious to see the white on white look though.

you are not allowed to put shoes on your girl anymore.

Got her out for the first time tonight.....thanks everyone who helped :2thumbs: Finally got the grill and bumper back together (minus the trim)....have the electrical issues somewhat figured out...at least I thought....the temp guage, power windows and the horn quit working tonight...yea...anyway took my daughter to the park and for a long ride through town and around the country side.....pre ride and post ride ;)
She's a little doll. I remember that age when mine didn't have the attitude & didn't mind riding around with me.
We'll see when mine reaches driving age. Right now she doesn't want anything to do with driving. I told her it'll be a piece of cake with the hand controls in my Magnum. She doesn't have any desire to give it a try. Out of our cars she likes my Magnum the best. I'll be putting the new Challenger R/T Classic (Cragar knock offs) 20" wheels
& the Challenger R/T hood/fender stripe kit in white on here shortly so she'll really...you know what, never mind. She isn't gonna care one way or the other, who am I foolin'! I'm the one who's anxious to see the white on white
look though
I think your girls (wife & daughter) will agree that you are not allowed to put shoes on your girl anymore.
;DI was wondering if anyone would notice that. She put them on herself... :angel: you should see some of the hairdos I give her. I'm defently a "boy dad". Post some pics when u get it done!
i found some of the top wear the back window gos it green with black lines and i looks like alligator skin kinda. i up to it fixing her too get part slowly. and yup it is cars in barns. i found it on craigslist. i went to Texas to get her. i guess Dee's had the car at one time then Dr. mopar had it and riped her apart and bent her in the middle. i am working on finding some one that knows what they are doing. i wish i had the opp tag from under the hood. it had sure grip 3.55 ,hp 440, ac, and a tac some one told me it had wood grain in it but it has the plain stair wheel it so i am not sure. the rt on the doors,the strips on the car and was told the color was rear but not sure. it had green intre. with a consel. its and automantic. i have a lot of work on my hands but ill get her done.

Its a numbers matching car , Its kind of a wild story how I got it, but if you get MoparMuscle the story is in the May issue in the Hidden Treasures section. The car is going in September for a complete restoration , I know most of the members of this forum do the work themselves , but I know i couldn't do this car justice. Better to leave it to the pros. I just figured out how to post pics ,so i'll post more soon. :cheers:

My 70 RT original sublime car. Still has original drivetrain. i traded this car off 6 years ago & just got it back yesterday (along with ALOT of extra parts). The pic is from when I had it the first time, but it was kept indoors so it still looks the same. It is a project, but it still runs & moves. I plan on doing something with it this time.
another pic
Great car lottsa luck :cheers:

Thanks for the pics!!! Mine has a long way to go until it looks that good!!!! The only difference I see on the outside is that mine has a white bumblebee stripe. My wife also told me that whoever is doing the seats over , to put extra cushioning in them because by the time the restoration is paid for we will probably have to live in the car!! :smilielol:
love the burnt orange 70's :D

I was out with the lizard today for a car show at Monrow high school. Well after the show on the way home I drove thru my favorite old town of snohomish and that is where I spotted this place. Snohomish Iron works. Place has been there since the 1800's. So I back my charger up and down the hill to get this cool shot in front of the place with the door open. the owner came walking out and complemented me on the car. and I asked if I could take a quick pic and he said no problem. So there it is. my ultimate Cool shot for the week. :2thumbs:

NICE!!! Love those wheels!! I bet there a ton of great roads to cruise on in WY!

Love Wyoming, lots of space. Just watch out for those Bison. :lol:
Some pics of my Charger's engine bay as it has progressed over the last few months. The first pic is of the engine when it arrived- leaking water and oil, bad wiring and the AC was shot. Second pic is after all the offending gaskets were replaced and the bling added. Third and fourth pics are from tonight after I removed the old AC compressor and fabricated my own idler pulley in its place.
Interior shot with the early Nascar type steering wheel.
Looks great. Any exterior shots?

I regularly log on and troll this thread and immediately stopped when I saw this pic. I sold that car to Aaron in 04 and it looks exactly the same! I've often wondered if he still had it. I was a broke kid just a few years out of high school so I dumped all my money in the drive train. It needed some work but God bless that thing ran good. :o

I may try to do that. If I could whip my 70 into driving shape by then I definitely would.
Now that the Charger is running for the first time since I've had it, I finally got the fleet together for a photo.
Not my car.
It belongs to my buddy who will be helping me(ie making sure i dont screw up) my build. '70 RT 440 4spd. Its going to be nice having someone at my disposal that has already gone through it! It'll be like having one of you guys in my garage. :icon_smile_big:

It is a matching #s, original 4 spd car. The photos, like always, don't do it justice.
As for the wheels i cant say for sure, i've never taken a really good look at them. I know they're American Racing. I'll see him tomorrow so i'll ask him. I'll take some pics once the car is put back together. The pictures I posted i took while it was sitting on the side of the road after a connecting rod let loose and took out the top end a couple days ago while we were out for a cruise. The block is currently at the machine shop getting sorted out.
I'll let you know what wheels they are.
Cheers.

Pt. 2, the 2nd video, after the laughter from the orange Chebby that's obviously not running right trying to smoke 'em, from :58 on is now my favorite video on You Tube.
I think it's absolutely cooler than shit when a car, (in this case even better since it's an automatic) screeches the tires while rolling along & then hits a 2nd gear chirp.
PURE AWESOMENESS (is that even a word?) in my book. :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Next time a give the 3gear to, it is a Charger and we can do:) sorry for my spelling :icon_smile_big:
It'll catch a 3rd too?...damn man, that's impressive. A lot of work done to the transmission? What stage is the shift kit? Driveline loop?
The last '70 Charger I had would get a 3rd chirp, but it was a 4 speed & the conditions had to be just right. It was restored back to factory & was all #'s matching so I didn't do very many power/speed shifts. As you know, 1st to 2nd was way easier to maneuver vs. the 2nd to 3rd so I was way more apprehensive about trying it.
Don't worry about your spelling, it's better than a lot of average Americans. ;)
Apparently there are 500 stroker with a sipack works for me. and a cam 509 ... nice idle ...... but its a triple black facktory r / t car. I like.....
Is that the Mopar Performance .509? I ran a .509 behind a 727 in a convertible. With the auto, it needs lots of stall & deep gears. I had the gears, 3:91's, just not enough stall.
But yeah, the idle sounded awesome.
Have no stal in mine. but I should have it, when the engine is starting to work in about 4000varv I have to fix it ..

For the exterior, the next step is to lower the car about 3/4"-1" or so (the aluminum heads raised the front up even more), polish the ridge trim and get some wider wheels/tires for the rear.
Sweet Bob!
What size you planning for rear rubber?
Thanks. I have 245's on there now. I was thinking maybe 275/60 on a 10" wheel. :shruggy:

Thx buddy i have more pics that i can throw up if you like ;D nothing special but everyone enjoys seeing progress, i can throw up some fender tag pics, engine No's etc etc engine bay being painted today with a bit of luck so i will cruise past there after work and see how things are then the whole car will be painted on Friday/Sat i think the last place the car came from was Chicago...not sure though i will put up a pic of the sticker on the window...
I am pretty happy with the state of the body for its age...there is a very small amount of rust in her which is good news for me when all is done and it is in my hands i will put up a thread with plenty of pics and info...
So looking forward to getting this car

Hey Doc,
Getting painted by a guy up here not far from home...has had some of his handy work displayed in Chrysler Mag, this was just a quick pic today off the phone cant wait to see the whole car done but i might have to wait another 2 weeks before i get to see it as i'm off to that outer suburb north of Perth on Sunday for a bit of R&R.....(Bali haha) 440 will be going back in on the weekend with a bit of luck all spruced up with new paint,headers etc etc woo hoo hahaha
These were taken Saturday morning. Gave her a nice bath on Friday. Even polished the chrome but the sun was beating on me so didn't do the inside.

Patronus, looking at your avatar I always just took for granted you were a youngin', ( :rotz: < Me for judging). Sure your signature is loaded up, but it's been proven people aren't always honest.
Nothing at all negative. I used to do stuff that could have been stereotyped, like skateboarding.
That's a beautiful black ride you have. One of the few times those wheels fit what they're under, fine job. :Twocents: :Twocents: :thumbs:
Took the old girl out for a drive today... Pulled it out of the garage, did a quick refresh of all the vitals and fired her up. It's been at least a couple of years since I've had it out. Felt great getting behind the wheel and heading up the road again! :2thumbs:

:o Couple years??? Man, I try to find every excuse to take mine out, can't imagine how hard it's going to be if I ever tear her apart for a restore. :-\
Looking GOOD!! :coolgleamA:

I surprise a lot of people. 42 n' faster that most I reckon. Im a bit broken at the moment, but I can smell those woods calling...
:mcride:
Sometimes life just gets in the way, and keeps you from doing the things you really want to do. I haven't been fishing or hunting in ages. Haven't really played my guitars either.... work, work, work, work, work.... I've had a couple of side projects going to keep me busy when I'm not at work, but thats all 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there.
Either way, the Charger has been waiting for a trip to the shop for some cosmetic work, fresh paint, and a few upgrades... like that 6-Pack I was working on a while back. At the moment, that engine is running on a test stand that I built fairly recently... a test bed for some of the new toys that will be going into the Charger. I think I'm going to take the Charger out again tomorrow... I'm going to head for the White Mountains up there in the great state of NH, maybe spend the weekend... One last journey for the Charger before she goes in for a makeover.
Sounds good..............enjoy the ride. :2thumbs:
have a great cruise and enjoy the weekend. :2thumbs:

I bet $100 on the Charger.
Just brought this home last weekend... with a thermostat change we were able to drive her home without any problem. My husband is a Mustang fan, he finished restoring his '69 and now we are tackling my dream car... we've been driving it around all week, just looking for excuses to take her out on the road - its impossible to drive without grinning ear to ear. I'm thinking black with a black and white interior.

Check this out, 528 Hemi Pro Street in Sweden.
I bought my Black -68 from this guy, at that time he had 8 complete R/T Chargers in his barn.
And a couple of them were matching numers cars. :drool5:
http://www.americancar.se/index.php?option=com_rdautos&view=detail&id=192&Itemid=54
Back from paint; refinished tail light surround and popped on a pair of 15x8's with M/T Drag Radials(275/60's) just to see her stance and if she'd have room for 15x10's in the future, just over an inch to spare on either side, so maybe...
Sweet! :drool5: I bet you can hardly wait to get it on the road. What's left?
I believe several folks have 15x10s on their stock chargers.. Check out the wheels section and the sticky thread that talks tire sizes. :2thumbs:

Her name is Marie-Juliette Beer (or sometimes Bird) Mainly working from London, but I met her here in CO about 3 years ago.
She has a very soft voice. I always marvel when she plays.. one of those artists that really holds the audience..
Check her out on iTunes..Her new single is being mastered and should be out with the video by the end of August!

I bought my 68 Charger RT (440 auto) about 20 years ago. Originally it was green with a green vinyl top green interior and a white bumble bee stripe. A previous owner painted it black and switched the interior color to white, and removed the vinyl top. When I bought the car, I knew the body was full of mud, but it was a real RT that I could afford. The attached photo shows how it looked when I bought it. Now its finally in the body shop and virtually every piece of exterior sheet metal is being replaced, even the roof skin.
I'm not a fan of green, so I am doing it up as I would have ordered it if I could. That means red with black vinyl top, white interior and white bumble bee stripe.
It doen't look half bad in the 20 year old photos.
welcome jim, nice project. keep us posted as to how its coming along. you can start a new thread on your car and post the progress as it goes. good luck. :2thumbs:

Ive seen so many other cars in this thread, besides chargers. But hey, I was just doing a show 'N tell thing, and throwin that out. Im not sure if thats what Im gonna do.
This is our recently sold 440 71' Charger which is almost New Zealand new, imported over from the States in 73' and fully restored here (mind the chrome wheels, they're well and truly gone)

Well I fell for that. I was concentrating on the hood and failed to notice the rest.
Cheers guys ;D
Are you sure it's a 72'?? It was imported almost brand new and registered as a 71'? I would think if it was a newer import then that mistake might get made, but I'm surprised by this! :o
Mighta been a 71 build but 72 year model?

Nice paint job, where in Norway are you located? I need someone to paint my charger black down the road... ;)
20 mins west of Oslo. Guy have been painting cars for 40 years, and comes highly recommended.
I was contributing to a discussion about my 1968 Dodge Charger R/T pictures on another thread and it occurred to me that I haven't really ever offered them up on the "Got a pic?" thread,
so, here is a link.
Hope you enjoy them. :-)

Awesome car! I have a set of 15" Magnums for mine aswell!
A vinyl top is not one of my favorite features on a Charger (or any other car for that matter) but I must say that these pics have gone a LONG way in swaying my opinion on the matter. At least on the Chargers behalf. I can really see how the vinyl top and the stainless trim works on the car and it looks GOOD! :drool5:

Yeah that was my first thought when I looked at the photo too.
Speaking of reflections, at a cruise in one evening, my wife waited quite some time to get this picture. She alligned the water and the sun with the line in the side of the car.
Came out pretty good.
that is the picture you would expect on the sales brochure. what a fantastic pic. she did great. :2thumbs:
Patience does pay off! Bob that looks absolutely stunning. Your wife did a great job. :2thumbs:
Came off pretty good? Thats an understatement for the record books, the shot looks great!

71 Charger almost done just needs numbers and test run..
Pretty cool, I was thinking of doing something similar to a 74 that I have. I assume asphalt, I didn't see any tread grooves.
Been on vacation for a while. Decided to bring the ole girl out of hiding and hit the streets

I was about to ask the same question.. Wouldn't they heat and discolor the paint?
Or at the very least, that spot must open you up for a lot of bumper cleaning from the exhaust. Nice car and a great color.

Where you off to Andrew?

Sweet Chippa. :2thumbs:
I know how you can control that right foot...............take the wife along.................works for me.
Hey Doc,
Just went for a spin on Firday night with a mate of mine who owns a 68 Stang to Scabs then onto Freo, Captin Munchie stop and then back up canning to Perfff then home :) (Sorry a bit of local lingo for Doc to understand )
Just went and pulled my plugs as that is the most time it has spent running and they look ok but i want to do a comp test on her soon to see whats going on inside....
Shoulda sung out mate. We could have met up down at Fremantle. Woulda looked awesome parked up together
I have a "sixpack" hood that was made out of fiberglass about 12 years ago for my '68 Charger. I was thinking going for the six pack look, but now working on a assassins Charger look. I could take some pics of it , if you are still interested. I still have it in case I change my mind.
Nice car Chippa!
tribute charger
I like it. And the one in your avatar. :2thumbs:

Yeah Dino its a gloss finish, probably not the way its meant to be but its how it was when i got the Charger so it will stay like that for a while but i want to rub it back and redo it as it has some "fish eyes" like silicon spots in the paint which bugs me.....
Wheel trims... :scratchchin: well i think it might of had them originally as there are holes in the gaurds to accomodate them but there probably not cheap so they will come later on....as with everything Charger related for us outside the U.S it all costs a arm and a leg to get it to Oz...for example to buy 4 x centre caps for my Magnums from a supplier here in Australia your looking at the best part of $280-90 which is B.S so i am trying to look at buying them direct and getting tem shipped to my door to save some $$$$
I love this car its so cool to own one and i think my missus and my mates are starting to get sick of me talking about it all the time hahaha.....stuff em

Sounds good to me! As the season is ending and I'm in college exam mode, that may be best for spring but I'd love to meet up. Lemme get some wider tires first though. :icon_smile_big:

I'm redoing all the front accessories on my motor in a few weeks, so after that I will post up some updates and get all the summer pictures posted. Here is the last thread I did.

What wheels are you running? They are sharp, not sure I have seen them before.
How about seats? Looks like you replaced the stock seats.
The wheels are Intro V-Rods, 18x8 front and 18x10 rears. The seats are Corbeau GTS II seats, leather with suede center sections. Very Comfy. :cheers:
awesome chargers guys :drool5: :2thumbs:
Beautiful White Chargers guys!
I thought Id add another ....
my buddy wayes
All these white ones being posted sure makes me miss my destroyed white one.

Awesome car! What size and brand are those wheels and tires?
Quote from: Mopar1979 on November 14, 2012, 11:04:40 PM
Awesome car! What size and brand are those wheels and tires?
Thank you.
They are Boyd Shrike wheels with the special ordered rolled lips. These are not the mass produced Boyds you can get from Summit or Jegs. These are made to order, and take roughly 8 to 10 weeks to build. I am not sure you can get them any longer. When American Racing took over Boyd, many of the high end, really cool wheels were cut.
The fronts are 17X8 with a Nitto 555 245-45-17
The rears are 18X10 with a Nitto 555 285-40-18
Here are a couple different pictures which I think you may be able to see the wheels a little better.

Quote from: Mopar1979 on November 15, 2012, 08:28:15 PM

No need for drop spindles when you can adjust the torsion bars. I do not have them cranked all the way down, but close. As low as it can go without rubbing while turning.
The rear I have 1 1/2" lowering blocks. I had a couple different sizes of blocks, and tried them all. Lowering block kits are available at Autozone for $20.00 a kit. The 1 1/2" blocks I did order off E-Bay.
Thanks for sharing, great looking car.

I'll be damned. That's the exact wheel I'm putting on my ride whenever I get the $$. I prolly won't be able to get that much sidewall like the 'chop but I'll get as much as possible. I had the $$ this spring but put new wheels/tires on my Magnum instead. I had to do something to the MagWag to keep me from buying an SRT. I also added the Challenger R/T stripes to keep me pacified for the time being.
There's a guy on the forum from down there in Ca. that runs Intro Twisted something. I talked to him since I really liked his look & found the V-Rods. His ride is a red '70 Charger, it's a nice lookin' rig, one of my favorites.
Anyhoots, Musicman, (Mike), hooked me up by doing a fantastic job of Photoshopping them on my car. That was all it took. There's no doubt that it's the next purchase!
(http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb300/rtmike472/My%20rides/756ae5ec.jpg)
It was the V-Rods or the Foose's. I like them but I think I like them a lot more on Bill's '69.

Early Christmas present to me, from me. Just got this home from Wisconsin yesterday after a fly/drive and shop with my oldest daughter. Bright sunshine, dry roads and as luck would have it even my fair city held off salting just long enough for me to tuck it in the garage dry as a bone.
Not many if any changes to this one save for a black vinyl canopy to replace the factory ordered white. Ran like a top and I have to tell you I am surprised at how good the gas mileage was. I did not figure it out exactly but I can tell you I did better than the EPA estimated 230 miles per tank. I guess it pays to drive the speed limit.
About the car, 340 with 355 gears and a 727. Yes it was recently on ebay and no it did not make reserve. It is an awesome, solid car and pretty much intact inside and out. I was provided with much of the lineage on previous owners so I will be attempting to get some history on it.
Since I built myself the 73 Rallye 440 and it seems to be afraid of the rain this will be my travel car to the odd show out of town.

The one is primer is my never ending restoration effort. The red one actually runs and drives, new fenders, grille, bumpers, etc are all in the shed and I'm slowly getting it put back together. It will be getting a coat of orange paint and a few 01 decals next spring just for fun. Should help me tolerate the seemingly never ending restoration and help prevent me from cutting any corners on that one. Once that car is back together, the red one will lose it's orange paint and earn a full restoration as well.

You'll be very happy with the Intro wheels if you decide to go with them. They are great quality and look great. Bill's 69 looks awesome with the Foose wheels. Love everything about his cars. With either set your charger will look great. :2thumbs:

[/quote]I am going to do a 70s type custom, im going with cragar rims though. I bought the car a little more than 2 years ago and bought it for what i thought was a great price. It was 5k from a chevy guy, he threw in a 413 and trans and a extra 727 trans. The car is a factory 383 2 bbl, power steering and brake, power windows, center console and 95% rust free. Im in the resto stage and i WILL be asking a LOT of questions.
Tough to find solid card like this theses days nice work ! keep the pics coming

Good lookin project! What did you use to get the nasty undercoating off. Thanks for everyones replies, Bad gas and or transmission fluid works very well ,it will penetrate the undercoating and make it mushey then scrape it with a scraper or razor blade on a end of a scraper. Now i searched what could be used to get into the nooks and crannies and and in general areas and found from a Buick website and found the tool to use is called a Scaller :2thumbs:. It is a MUST have they sell them at Harbor Freight and cost about $40 , they have videos on youtube of it in action.
I also used a high pressure washer to get in all the nooks and crannies and overall cleaning the underside in the process.

Hey, with all the things that can go wrong when flat towing a car, it seems prudent to me.
Finally got those dang side windows somewhat close. Have to thank my dad for that; I lost patience with it a long time ago.

Snuck out for one last lap last night...still haven't salted in the hood :2thumbs:
:drool5:
They have been salting here in NH for well over a month now.
What's salt?
1. a crystalline compound, sodium chloride, NaCl, occurring as a mineral, a constituent of seawater, etc., and used for seasoning food, as a preservative, etc.
2. table salt mixed with a particular herb or seasoning for which it is named: garlic salt; celery salt.
3. Chemistry . any of a class of compounds formed by the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms of an acid with elements or groups, which are composed of anions and cations, and which usually ionize in solution; a product formed by the neutralization of an acid by a base.
Thanks for the reminder :smilielol: But, where I'm at, salt is seldom used. We are lucky if we get snow 3 times per winter. Besides that, my town doesn't buy that much salt. Getting roads plowed is not even on the agenda. The city square and around the schools is all that gets plowed. State does the highways which accounts for 3 of the main roads. Besides, our roads are crap anyway. City council would rather buy banners at $200 a pop for every light post in town. :flame: The only roads that get fixed are the ones that get used the most.

I love the General Lee, but I don't like that push bar at all... When I get a general it prolly won't get a push bar.
I hate to go against the grain here but I hate the General Lee, every time I see one it reminds me of how many of these beautiful cars were destroyed!!!

:2thumbs: i think yours will be awesome.
after going through 3 relatives with cancer, 1 dead furnance/ac unit and a pay cut at work i finally said the hell with it and did some Mary work this weekend
ripped out the vital organs of my mistress so she's pissed but the wife is smiling some more.................... :rotz:
getting the car high enough to get the trans out was interesting but i finally did it, i don't remember how i got it under there back in 2002 but it wasn't like this i remember now.......... :shruggy:
of course i used a floor jack back then and trying to balance the trans with the GV unit on it as i lifted it into place wasn't fun either
No other car on this site makes me want to come over and help as much as yours. Just diggin that 1st gen wing..
What in the heck are you doing to that car? I thought it was nice before all this.

There was something odd about this GL but couldn't put my finger on it. Now I see, it's the raised white letters.
Very clean looking GL.

Mauve I haven't seen nothing of your car but in your avatar. post some pics of it out of the garage when it was not napping! Please.... I possibly could search for it but I am sure others would like to see too!
:iagree: very nice.
Mauve haven't seen your car for awhile, looks great! I hope your going to keep it the same color, love it with those Torque Thrusts.
STIG, What......Do you jack your car up and turn the tires so the raised white letters are always in the same position for every picture? Now that's getting a little to meticulous!

no wing from many years ago
and today Mary got shoved outside so i could change the cats/02 sensors on the wife's concorde, i thought she would be light with EVERYTHING removed but she's still a hefty b!!ch. we rolled her out into the driveway on the dollies thinking we could stop her anywhere we wanted, but we couldn't, got her stopped with the front end in the street and the back tires on the curb. I don't know how we are going to get her back in the garage

they say that turtle really did win the race....... eventually, so call me turtle...............
I really dig it. What color were you thinking on the wing?
i've never seen a rear stripe that works for me on a 1st gen so i'm thinking more of a black bottom from the rear of the front wheelwell angled up to the top of the wing and a mauve top, but haven't learned photoshop yet to see what it would look like, more of a faded edge from black to mauve instead of a hard line (i've seen alot of custom pickups this way but can't find a good photo right now). then i would paint/powdercoat the spokes on the wheels to match the paint in that location, mauve for the fronts and black for the rears and leave the polished lip. hood and scoop would be mauve also
probably more of an 70-80's paint job than most peoples current tastes but its still a ways off for right now. all my planning before thanksgiving has gone down the toilet. Life gets in the way for everybody so i guess i'm not special
tonight will be the first time since Aug 95 that Mary has had to spend the night outside
Its looking real good Mauve, I see you shaved the door handles too. Is that a home made wing? Or did you modify a real wing?
took one of Danes's aluminum ones and S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D it about 3 inches
funny thing is he stopped selling them right after i posted a pic of it............................. :icon_smile_blackeye:

What color interior and top do you have planned?
Car was born B5 with B5 interior and TX9 black top. I thought about going back with white interior but I have a 71 Satellite that has white interior. So decided to stay stock and have a wider variety.

Yep, that's the original License plate frame. I just now had it re-chromed (its a krylon job in the pic) & i'm putting the final touches on the lettering. Should look sweet with the original restored plate. Washington is very lenient with collector cars & licensing.

You have a pic of your 68 driving under a bridge in this link: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,6.25.html
Can you tell me what wheel/tire size you had there on both front and back?
thanks - like the set-up/
Also, which tire brand were you running.

Around here dry roads are covered with dry salt all winter. It's not until the spring rains that they are clean.
Glad you enjoyed the pics!
And it takes a few rains to wash it all away too, I never trust that first couple to do the job well.

hmmm...:scratchchin: .... Do you need a fresh B5 73 hood for that car?? :smilielol: Just giving you a hard time! Your 73 looks like a solid project! :2thumbs:
Ya, previous owner I guess was going to start restoring the car. Stripped the hood of paint and that was it, so it was pretty rusty(heavy surface rust). I was never really a fan of these style b body's, but this one has grown on me a lot. I think it helps that it doesn't have the "opera" windows, don't care for those very much.

Here are a few pics of my 72 Charger 383ci auto. building a 440 for the little guy, plan on putting a full vinyl roof and R/T Tail lights this spring.
Very, very nice. :2thumbs:
Very Sharp Charger!

Here's a few of our 73 Charger we're fixing up. Its actually all down to bare metal now and is sitting in our "paint booth". Now just have to do body work and paint. Interior is redone and just sitting in our basement.
Rallye 400 4 speed all numbers matching.
Blue with blue interior and black stripes. Hopefully will have it all back together by this summer, but that is what we said last year.....

:drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: The way it is. Personally, I would leave the vinyl top off of it.
I agree TruckDriver. It's awesome without the vinyl top! Stands out all nice and shiny black!

It's actually buckets with no console. I have a pistol grip in my 68 super bee, talk about a world of difference in shifting. The throw on my super bee is huge compared to the charger. I've been in and out of the hospital that past month, but once I get home I'll try to post up a picture of the fender tag. It should look really good once it's done, can't wait. It will probably be what my mom drives unless they sell it to put towards their retirement savings for a farm in Illinois. It was too good of a deal to pass up when I found it in 2006.

Looks good and welcome
Thanks Guys I am sure it has many stories as well unfortunately all I know is what the previous owner told me which wasn't much. It will become an orange RT (clone) with a black vinyl top. This is it's original color but was repainted in the late 70s early 80s notice the custom side mirrors they are sculpted on to the car and actually don't look that bad but gotta go. No motor or tranny but was a 318 auto car. Fender tag is missing so not much more than that is known. I also have a 68 which I bought before I found the 69 (His and hers). Here is another pic.
LOVE those wide tires :drool5:
wjc Love the color on your beast!
smokin joe looks like a straight up moonshine running Charger, love it? Any wood crates in the trunk? :popcrn:

You don't have to tell me !!! Glad you got her going and looking fantastic!
thanks again! I can't wait for Friday I get her inspected and on the road! Already registered it for Carlisle this year, last time I had it there it was 2003!
Hope you have a wonderful experience in Carlisle. I live in SE Texas and it is a really long haul to Carlisle, Pa. for me. I don't have an enclosed trailer yet and would not drive that far in the Charger so, ...... not for me yet. I hear Carlisle is very hot that time of year so, plan and dress accordingly.
man, i love the 68, and with the old school look. what a nice ride. great job. :2thumbs:
Last years Carlisle was the hottest i remember! Thanks, that's me Old School :smilielol:

I would have overlooked it but my older brother bought the car new in 1970 and also I did my drivers licence road test in the early 70s on this car so it has sentimental value.. Boy is that sentimental value expensive. :o

I love that Color that is what my 69 is getting but I see so many color variations on here but it is probably just the lighting, camera type ect. Do you know if there is much difference between the Hemi Orange and the 999 Orange?

Im not sure either it is always listed when ever someone posts the mopar color sheets. I think 999 stands for special order. I remember reading that the bengle chargers were 999 orange. No big deal ill get it figured out.

What is 999 orange?
That color is generally better known as Omaha Orange. It was a special order in '64 on Furies, and in '68 on some Bbodies. The only documented 68s are the Bengal Chargers, and a handful of Road Runners and a Charger or two. (If someone has proof of any others, please share). No Omaha O after '68.
Undocumented are alleged early year '69 Hemi Orange cars that also, confusingly, became known as 999 Orange (by late '69 all the High Impact colors were available). Hemi Orange is most certainly not Omaha Orange. The true name for Hemi Orange is Tor-Red Irridescent (somewhere in '69 Dodge took ownership of the name Hemi Orange and Plymouth took Tor-Red).
Omaha O is a pale and sort-of creamy color, like an orange creamsicle. Hemi O / Tor-Red has a strong red presence in the orange. Omaha Orange may have been borrowed from the Michigan State DOT (why not Nebraska? :shruggy:) Hemi Orange came directly from Valhalla when the muscle car gods gave it to Mopar owners to protect and preserve forever.
thanks for the info :2thumbs:
So, Dan, is this closer to Omaha O? Its close to the Aussie version of Vitamin C as a lot of the Aussie Chargers and Pacers were painted, but is a bit lighter and more vibrant.
It is one of the nicest Chargers I have ever seen though, it is a credit to the guy that did it, he has owned it over 10 years but the resto was just finished last year. 383, buckets, console, black interior, even the underneath is spotless :coolgleamA:

So, Dan, is this closer to Omaha O?
Yes, much closer to Omaha Orange than Hemi Orange. But to my eyes it looks more yellow than orange. As pointed out earlier, colors look different from camera to camera, and especially look different on the internet and with different monitors. So who am I to say with complete certainty that that Charger isn't Omaha Orange? Dare I say it, it doesn't look like a Mopar orange, it looks like aftermarket yellow something to me. Great paint either way.
I need to correct my error from the previous post. Dodge did list a color as 999 Orange for 1969 and 1970 as shown on the PPG Chart ('70 below). Big mistake on my part to not check the chart. The 999 Orange is different than Hemi O and Go Mango. And it isn't Omaha Orange, it looks like Chevy Hugger Orange to me. Still, has any one seen one of those Dodge '69 or '70 oranges? are there pics?
Here's what to my eyes is Omaha Orange (a documented '68 Road Runner):

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7626/1970dodgepg01.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/1970dodgepg01.jpg/)
So what is the best way to see these colors in person? Do most paint suppliers have samples of all these or do I have to go PPG only, do they own the rights to the colors and would they know what I was talking about?...man it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about lol.
Hey Guys I found this on another site. No way to verify it but here it is all the same
Joe
Special Order 999 Paint Codes
Special Order "999" paint codes were codes assigned for a vehicle for paint colors that were not officially available for that model vehicle for a given year. When a car line was planned and introduced, a number of colors were designated as being available for that car. Dealer information and paint chips were distributed, assembly lines were readied with paint mixes and instructions for the paint departments for the identified set of paint codes.
The way a 999 car was order was that any one with a fleet account (dealerships, or large purchasing agents) could order any Ditzler color for any vehicle for some additional small fee ($75-100). When the 999 order was placed, some notation as to which actual color was written on the order. The factory would have sent the car down the assembly line with papers that also reflected that special paint color.
While the parameters of the 999 special order paint mean that there were probalby some unique orders that mades a "one off", for some years, there were common 999 orders. 1968-1969 999 Orange cars would be one of these commonly order special colors. There were probably a few hundred 999 Orange cars built in 1968 and 1969. For 1968 and the beginning of 1969, these were Omaha Orange which is the same orange used to paint early 1964 race hemi's (Ditzler code DRA60436). At some point in the 1969 model year, the special order 999 Omaha Orange became the EK2 Vitamin C Orange which would be standard color for 1970. The is per a 4/7/69 TSB stating that begining approx. Feb 1, 1969, EK2 "Vitamin C" Orange would be available for Belvedere models.
Some hobbiest inaccurately state that all "999" cars were Orange, while order inaccurately state that a "999" code on a car would give the owner license to reapint the car any color and still maintain that the car is "original" or "numbers matching" (paint numbers at least). Its not accurate to say a 999 car could be any color you want. If the color was available that model and that year, it wouldn't have a 999 code for that color. So, a 1970 GTX 999 car could not be painted of the available 1970 GTX colors and be correct. FM3 Panther Pink, EB5 Medium Blue, FC7 Plum Crazy, FE5 Medium Red, FF4 Light Green Metallic, (etc) would all be incorrect paint colors for a 1970 999 GTX.
Speaking of 1970 GTX 999 cars, I found references to some 1970 GTS's with 999 paint codes being a "EA4" Silver Metallic ( see this "999 code 1970 GTX" page (off-site) or Petty Blue. One reader has contacted me since this article was first published with information of his 1970 A4 999 Roadrunner complete with a build sheet that has "A4" written on it, and 999 on the fender tag.
999 paints codes were not limited to colors that were not, or had never been made available for a particular model, It could also be a special order for a color that had been available, but was no longer offered. A good example of this are the 1971 Panther Pink / Moulin Rouge cars. All 1970 FM3 Panther Pink / Moulin Rouge cars were coded "FM3", the color was dropped for 1971. some 1971 cars were built as Panther Pink cars ( special ordered ) and were coded as 999 paint cars. (also documented is a 1971 Panther Pink Charger coded "148" ??).
In closing, I'll point out that 999 was a special order paint code used from at least 1961 through at least 1978. The 999 codes are common, or at least somewhat common, on fleet sales, like police departments, and park services, and were not limited to "Muscle Cars". Four door 318 cars have been documented as carrying the 999 code.
Here is a brief list of some example 999 paint code cars reported to have existed:
* 1961 Chrysler 300G coupe, Dark Green.
* 1965 Barracuda, Yellow.
* 1966 Barracudas, Pink.
* 1968 Road Runners Omaha Orange, maybe as maybe as 100 from the Los Angeles plant alone.
* 1968 Dart, Orange.
* 1969 Barracudas & Daytona (1) & Charger 500 (1) Omaha Orange.
* 1969 Super Bee Bahama Yellow (Butterscotch).
* 1969 cars with Rallye Green. (perhaps,, only seen references to its existence, but I have seen any reference cars..)
* 1969 Coronet wagon, color unknown.
* 1969 Petty Blue.
* 1970 Charger, A4 Silver. "Special order" on the bottom of the build sheet and "silver" written in marker behind the seat.
* 1970 Roadrunner, A4 Silver paint and written on buildsheet.
* 1970 Plymouths, Petty Blue, included a 4dr 318 car.
* 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Bright Yellow.
* 1976 Dart, unknown color.

999 was a special order it could be a color from a previous year or special color of steel wheels ect.
Life has been super busy as of late even though I wouldn't have guessed it. Still find time to take her out. These were from a few days ago. :drool5:
If anyone wants let drop a PM and I can get you full size images for personal uses such as wallpaper. :2thumbs:

I may not be the sharpest knife in any drawer but posting pics on this site is beyond me. Not very user friendly and unforgiving for some of us.
What's your trouble Mike? What devices are you using to log on here?
Stroker. Well whenever I try to resize and re-insert the revised photos this site will not let me because it says file already exists and when I try to go into the "browse" section to see what I am trying to post it won't let me. So I just went back and renamed my pics and will try once again! Here we goooooooooooooooooooooooooo...... I am not an electronic gadget guy.
Well I tried and I am still hitting a brick wall with picture size and I have no way to change them :brickwall:
Ok, first off, after you get the message, you cannot reuse your post. Unfortunately, you have to start over from scratch. :brickwall: When you name your pic, put todays date or time on it. Check to make sure your pic is between 600 and 700 pixels wide and between 400 and 500 pixels high. That should get you in the 200 kb requirement. Best of luck. :2thumbs: P I A but once you learn, it's easy.
After some guidance from smarter people than me here we go again. I recently received pics of me, my girl and the first Charger I had from 1970 to 1972. I was home on Navy leave and we broke out the camera not realizing we would be seeing them after 40 years! Memories galore.
tottally awesome!

What's life without tribulations. :scratchchin: :icon_smile_big:
And yes, it was extremely frustrating for me too in the beginning.........nightmarish in fact!
I actually gave up after trying for over an hour... Another member bailed me out and got my pictures to be visible somehow... Love the website, just wish picture sharing was made easy... :Twocents:
I use a PhotoScape. It's free to download and it's easy to use. I use it to resize all pics I want to post up on the forum.
Or else, if you're still using windows XP or even windows 7, just email the pics you want to resize to yourself (window will rezise them for you) and then just save them and post up on the forum. BUT as you probably already know, you must rename your pics each time you want to repost. I just hit my hand down on the keyboard and do like I'm playing the piano. That way I never end up with the same name twice.
Or you can try Photobucket (also free to download) then all you need to do is upload the pics (to photobucket) and simply copy and paste them straight onto your post page. That will also allow you to post up more pics at a time.
i use photo bucket if i can use it anybody can :2thumbs: very strait forward
I just use the paint program on my computer.
The trouble with paint is that you have to make the pics pretty small in order to get them under the 200 KB's allowed. And that's quite hard to do if your pic is over 1MB to start with. :Twocents:
Around 450 pixels high and 600 pixels wide gets me within range on most pix. That fills my screen nicely on most pix. This one is 585 wide and 450 high.
ok, I had to go smaller than that with my diagram in http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,101580.0.html to get it under the 200 kb.
i use MS paint also, i just take the 12 megapixal photo and resize it at 20-25% on both sides and it seems to work most of the time and the picks don't come out too small
My camera takes huge pics. sometimes as large as 1.7MB and they're pretty much impossible to resize with paint. But all in all there are many options available to getting the right size pic for posting up on the forum so it's not an issue for me.
this pic was 2.14 MB, 4000 X 3000, used MS Paint, went to the Image button then resize/skew then 20 % in horizontal and vertical in the resize section and turned it into
103 KB, 800 X 600
i don't know what version i have but the computer is pretty old, 5-6 years, hope this helps
Thanks Mauve, I'll give it another go. I've got windows 7. But as I said to stroker I had to go quite small using paint to get the kb's down with this diagram I posted up.

Believe it or not that picture was taken from a phone by the owner of the 68 Charger. Pretty good quality for smart phone. The body lines on my car make his look like a low rider. The 68 is sporting FJ5 Sublime paint....really looks great and apparently it attracts bugs like a magnet.
The reflection in the side makes me think of one of Michael Irvine's paintings.

A very good looking 66 :yesnod: :2thumbs: Thanks for sharing
Thanks, It's nice to have it mobile again I think it only drove 1.5 miles since 1996 before last week.A friend at work's husband bought it from family in Arizona to fix up for his son. And lucky for me his son like trucks better than cars So It sat for a while and I picked it up in 99 or 2000. I stripped it down and found the true joy of Arizona sheet metal !!! all metal. Any ways life got too busy and it sat primered in the barn for the next decade except for the annual halloween party.At that time it became a Halloween prop with some strobe lights and a couple monsters pretending to cruise woodward.Finally got busy on it and this year will be at woodward for real.Still have some finishing touches to go but getting closer every day.
I like the color.
Nice color :drive:

I was at a car show last week and there was a guy with a fancy camera taking pics. I talk with him for a bit and he sent a couple of pics.
Taken today while out cruising, with the usual stop.........
Looks nice as always Fred. :drool5:

Thanks srtroker. We had a lovely sunny day, so went for a drive. Had to stop for petrol and everybody was taking photos of it which actually drives Erika nuts because she's sitting inside and doesn't want to be in the photos so has to keep ducking down under the dash and no one ever says I'm done.....you can come up now. :icon_smile_big:
* while she's down there :whistling:...............but she would't!!
It's the thought that counts Fred.

Mines alot nicer than the ones on the show but I wanted to make it as close to what they had on the show I also deleted the side markers rear reverse lights my push bar and roll bar are measurements off a original General I also used a original style air cleaner like the close up General and used with moroso valve covers like the close up car had.

yeah i remember seeing a good shot of the helper springs on the general when it done a 180 degree turn infront of the camera think it was in high flying dukes or something , crop dusting ? :shruggy: i forget , i use to tape them all when i was a kid & freeze frame to study how many different generals were used etc , wernt soo easy to freeze fram on a video recorder back then , well not soo much detail like on a DVD :scratchchin: :yesnod:

Always love 69 Charger pics, it looks like you have a nice big working space too.
You have a lot more room than I did! Nice looking work-in-progress Charger. Just keep your head down and going forward!
Yeah with both the cars and people asking me to do bodywork for them I figured a 2,000 square ft shop would be a better place to rent than a little apartment :lol: so I've got a Charger and Chevelle in the living room but it's a pretty awesome setup :2thumbs:

Hey guys,
Just joined a couple of days ago...
Can't seem to upload a pic but as soon as I figure out whats up ill will post one. Best I can do at the moment is the Avatar pic!
I've imported Down Under a very clean one owner 1970 Dodge Charger 500, had it for about a year and a half now buying up parts to do a nice resto.
Getting pretty close to starting the build and hoping to have it done within 12 months fingers crossed.
Welcome to the forum! Nice 70, I have a 70 also. :2thumbs:
welcome to the site mark. nice looking charger. :2thumbs:
Thanks guys,
Really happy with this car, almost to good to pull down and restore as it is a very nice survivor, but does have a little rust in the lower quarters and has some very poor paint touch ups on its rear....
I pretty much have the running gear sorted... Been saving my pennies and been buying up! Just lookin for a good paint/panel shop to do the work
Ok so I think I got the pics sorted so here goes!
Looks pretty nice. Welcome to the forum :cheers:
Welcome mate. :cheers:
I am new to this forum; wish I had found it years ago. Would have been very helpful when I restored my 1970 Charger 500. Back then (1990's), I was into MoparChat, which was when the internet was still pretty young. Anyway, my dad was the original owner of my '70, having ordered it in the winter of '69. Then, I was out of the hobby for a while, and then got back into it, after dallying with some other types of cars for a while. However, my passion for Mopars is reinvigorated lately. Now, I am starting the restoration (or rather, picking up where the last owner left off) of a '68 Charger 383, together with my oldest son (age 14). It will be his car someday. My younger two sons already have their cars picked out too ('68 Dart 340 and then '68 Mustang 390). Anyway, it's been fun looking through these pages at all of your beautiful machines!

Thanks! The spiral staircase goes both upstairs (to my kids' loft and gameroom/my aquarium room) and downstairs (to another level of garage). I have three garages in my home. You can see the other one (for our daily drivers) in the one photo with my son standing by the project Charger, and I will post a photo of the lower level...see below. Also, I posted a few pics on another thread that show the space better maybe:

A pic from yesterday with my wife's cousin from Germany. I'm over by the LR quarter dusting it off before giving her a short ride around town. Her best comparison was a 140 mph drive on one of the autobahns with her boyfriend in a Mercedes. No, we got nowhere close to 140, but I think I managed to scare her a little anyway.
looking good bull :yesnod:

last one, dont pay attention to the wheels, they are temporary untill i get the new chromes mounted. the rears are 16" on jeep wheels.
Pretty cool nvrbdn :2thumbs: I like the 68 style stripe.

Here she is, stock as the day she were born.
Nice, very nice. Its great to see some of the totally stock ones.

Good idea. I did that over here myself once. Picked up a commodore interceptor only six months old. was in an accident but only had slight front fender damage.
What a super car that was.
had some luck posting and starting my restoration thread this morning, so a couple of recent ones
Love the color.
Just picked up a 68 from MI yesterday and then took it on a 200 mile "Danger Ride" to get it home:

Great combo, actually you don't see a non vinyl top 68 with the pearl white and blue interior very often. It
is usually a black and white int combo.
I have been working on the same combo for the last 12 years, so I am very fond of it. The color sure does change
in different angles I have found.
Dan
Boy these red lines look small, and they are small :yesnod:

Sharp looking 68 Jamiez :drool5: very nice.
Mine left the factory as a QQ1 with blue interior too, I can live with black but that blue is definitely my #2 choice

Thanks, I thought they would look bigger, so I also have a set of red lines and magnums 15x8 275/60 and 15x7 245/60
to fill up the wheel wells. Have not put them on the blue one yet, but I have that combo on my red 68.
Dan
They do look better, the other car is awesome but I will admit that the big tires just match the aggressive styling so well.
my charger made it to a car show today. :2thumbs: the second pic is of me and my daughter.
driving to the show.
Wow Dan. I didn't know the blue car was done.
I like the red car with the rwl tires. It's a damn good lookin car either way. They all are. A collection for all to be envious of. :2thumbs:

Hey Mike, congrats on your win at Sunbust, always a sweet show.
Well the blue charger is a interesting talk. It is back in Oak Harbor, getting over 20 flaws and other things in the paint fixed.
Still can't believe he brought it back to me thinking it was done :shruggy: the antenna hole was drilled six inch's to
far forward, so he has to do the hole fender again. Also the fresh engine needs to come out soon to work on the
bottom end. Also it will not run under 230, so it can't drive more than a couple miles as is, or it pisses out the over flow.
We have done the usual repairs to try and fix the problem, but with no change. The engine has been in and running for over
a year, so its not to tight anymore.
I am happy we got the color right at least, he is just a one man shop, with a part time helper.
Same guy that painted my wife's gold charger, and it only had a couple problems, so not sure why
he dropped the ball so bad on this one.
Dan

Thanks for the compliments on our Dodge Charger demo vehicle. If you guys (and gals) ever have any questions about emergency lights and the chargers let us know. We also have a whole series of emergency vehicle light installation videos on our YouTube channel. 911 Signal USA's YouTube channel. In this series, our installation expert, Mike, is installing a variety of emergency lights on our Charger. Even better, each video goes through steps slowly and accurately so others can install their own warning lights.
but all of our chargers are old. they wouldnt look good with all the lights flashing. we would think we were pulling ourself's over. :smilielol:
that is one heck of a neat light display though. our local law enforcement all drive the chargers also. :2thumbs:
It's pretty easy to accomplish this feat Dan since I don't know of anyone with 3 1968s' but you by far have the 3 nicest '68s' I know of. Could you imagine if Patricia's car was originally white. That'd be pretty cool.
There's some guy across the river who just finished up an 8 year resto on his 1 of 74 383-2 4 gear '68 Charger. Original green car that he painted black, imagine that. ;)
From the pix on this site, he's done a very, very nice job on it.

Lovce the stance on that 69.
yes the 69 took me 10 years to build, I started on it when I was in college. figuring on 20 years for the 68 with kids and all but I'm not in a big hurry love having it there to work on. thanks.

The site's absolutely awesome and I'm over the moon browsing here. Thank you for accepting me to the Forum!! Thank you for existing!!
all the best, kimmo from finland

PS, send more photos, please.
Welcome aboard riivattu440. :cheers:
Those were my exact sentiments when I first found this forum. I couldn't believe my luck. So much information. I learnt plenty. And have stuck around ever since. This is the place to be.

I should apologize for the dust, into storage. :rotz:
Those are some wild refelctions. I love the way the lines of the car break them up so much.
Thanks everybody for you kind compliments! I feel welcome :cheers:

I'm not missing the antenna, I just haven't had time to put it on with all the hectic toing and froing involving getting the import MOT sorted, it's been awful lot of garage time and awful little of driving time. Still many issues to be looked into but for me even just sitting in the car is Quality Time at its very best!
all the best, kimmo
Yeah that's badass with 4 speed and 6 pack....u make me jealous. :2thumbs:

I just looked up where the place was I took the pic this morning. It was a WWII plane factory. They made gun turrets there. Look at the roofline. I had no idea, just remembered it as a weird backdrop.

My 68
One more, made it a little retro :icon_smile_cool:
you cant get away with just that. we need interior pic's too. 68 front clip? nice ride. :2thumbs:
That whole car is 68, note the front and back fender lights... Unless the person restoing it only bought 68 sheet metal and converted?
My guess is it's a typo. At least he posted it :2thumbs:
Great photos either way!
Sorry it is a 68. Did not see the mistake before now :shruggy:
love the pic's, still like to see the rest of the story. what interior do you have etc... :yesnod:

just figured id start at the bottom. :smilielol:
looks like you have your work cut out for you. please start your own thread with the whole story. you will get quite a few followers. :2thumbs:
It has a 68 radiator support.
Another one of my foul balls.
Actually, I was being sarcastic about the sunroof. I had no idea what year it was.
So what is the proper category to start a thread ?
If it's about Dodge Chargers, it goes in the Charger discussion. If it's just a regular car, it goes in the Car discussion. If it's a car with aerodynamics in mind, it goes in the Aero discussion.
Thanks

Might your camera have a "Still Image Size" setting for "e-mail attachments, and other sizes"?
It may be set on the email setting, just my shot in the dark, my camera has different setting I'd not used yet, so I'm not to clear on what they do, or the end results.
Even a photo of a fuzzy 70 Charger looks good, I like the color and the trimmings. :2thumbs:

i'm ashamed to say I don't know much about forth generation chargers :scratchchin:
got a few sales ads in books & stuff , but that's about it , not read up on them since I was a kid
Thank you all, your kind words are truly appreciated.
This was a one owner local car (Sacramento, CA). Which made for a great place to start.
The car handles fairly well, and rides like a luxo boat. I have massaged the 360 4 barrel HO engine a bit, and it gave it an evil voice in contrast to the look of the car. It is full of rare options which I had rebuilt, including the seek radio with the foot activation switch.
A very nice 75. Glad you posted :2thumbs:
Very nice indeed. :2thumbs:
Very nice! My folks had a '76 model. While I hated the switch from sporty to luxurious, as luxo-boats went, the 4th gens were pretty nice. They did handle pretty well for their size and weight, and the ride was very smooth. I always thought they looked better than many cars costing a lot more.
Looks very nicely done. Beautiful ride.

Love those 4th gen Daytona's too.

Love the size of wheels/tires on your 71. What size are they?
Took it out for a club cruise on Saturday, still have a small leak to cure on the new 727 but it was awesome just driving the wheels off it again!

You should try going by ship, that's how I got to Sydney, Townsville, Darwin, and Brisbane in 1992. Commemoration of the battle of the Coral Sea. I'd love to get back there, only saw the inside of the bars. Can't find VB's here.

That was another charger I was working on for a friend of mine. Rebuilt the front end for him. The lower control arm bushings were completely gone and the rest had never been replaced. It was a general clone and he kinda ran outta cash but we did get the worst of it fixed up.

Took a recent pic of my buddy 'Simon' ,, had him for about 14 years now, I rebuilt his engine and tranny, replaced all of his brake components, and enhanced his breating abilty ;)
Also , totally rebuilt his front suspension and steering, and a new aluminum radiator, and brand new rear leaf springs,,
and he Loves All of it :) And I rebuilt his 8 3/4 ass end :)
BTW, the Daytona wing was on him when I bought him.
He is literally my daily driver ;)

Hi All,
I am new to the forum and figured this is the best way to introduce myself, and the car. I have been looking at post on here for a while and appreciate all of the information I have been getting (It has helped knowing that some are having the same issues and what they found to fix them) so THANKS!
I have had the car for 14 years now (however it has had me from the first time I saw it in a field when I was 10 years old). The wife and I enjoy the car and affectionately call it D.P.H. (Dirty Pirate Hooker); our 2 kids also love the car. When they are in the garage "helping" me work on it and it is time for them to go to bed they will hug the car's front fender, give it a kiss and tell it goodnight (they are 7 and 5 and we think it is cute).
Anyhow, hello and thanks!
Jesse

The first time I saw this car I was 10 and we just moved from Alaska to Washington. The car was sitting in a field and I was so excited about a real 1969 Charger only 5 miles from me! My parents said to start saving and perhaps someday I could own the car…and so I began! I attempted to buy the car when I was 18 and the owner was attached to it and would not let it go. I did not give up on the dream though as I kept saving and went back years later. The owner remembered me from when I was 18 and told me that if I return the next day with cash and a trailer the car was mine! The car was t5 with a tan top originally however it had a lot of rot that needed to be cut out and replaced. I thought it could only be original once so I changed it to what I wanted B5. It is a SE car with a matching numbers 383. From what I am told I am the 4th owner of it. The original owner received it as a graduation gift; she did not like it so she parked it behind the barn and took the wheels off of it, and the wheels went on the car she really wanted. It was sold to a police officer a few years later and he only drove it a few times (he did not like it because it had too much power for him from what I am told). The guy I purchased it from was the 3rd owner and he only drove it a few years and parked it in 1973 (the last year it was registered). He would go out and start it once a month, pull it forward, cut the grass around it, and back it up into its parking spot. He pulled the entire interior from it and hung it up in his garage, and covered the dash with a blanket. It has 17,103 original miles on it now and will have many more once I work out all of the bugs from sitting most of its life. The story behind DPH is from working on it as it likes to fight me…blood scars the whole 9 yards. Once it died in the middle of a left turn yield and would not start, we had a truck that was driving at us fast and not slowing down. I was cranking it and said “start you dirty pirate hooker!” and it fired up… The wife was laughing and the name has stuck with it from that point on. She even picked up a license plate with a pirate on it for the car when we were in Key West.
I love your colors, black and blue, don't forget to hid the car keys from the 7 year old :angel:.
And your wife was laughing, sitting in the shotgun seat with a fast truck bearing down on her side, what a girl, not scared :scared:.
What a great story. Good to have you on the forum.

Thats a nice pair Don. That pic of the blue one almost makes it look like it has a blue top the way the light is hitting it.
A nice change from seeing almost every 70 R/T with the scoops. :2thumbs:
It is not an R/T I just like the look of the stripe. I think if I had a R/T I would remove them. I cant believe the designers covered up one of the best features of this car with those scoops, they should have put them on the rear quarters facing the other way.
Cool photos, thanks for showing them, :scratchchin: could it be the same car with two different paint jobs, just turned around? :lol:
No serious though, looks very nice, thanks.
Gotta love those '70s..
Nice ride

A break can be healthy and it certainly sounds like you need one! That H1N1 stuff is pretty terrible, I caught it when it broke out in California.... WORST congestion I ever had and I had to fly, had to be walked off the plane when we landed due to the inability to equalize the pressure in my head. Here's hoping you feel better and that shoulder doesn't bug ya too much! :pity:

Welcome 69white hat car looks the part. :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Nice to have another 69 around. Good looking car. :cheers:
Thanks guys! I've only owned her for around a year, and she has some problems, but we're trying to work them out together. I wonder if anybody on this site will recognize her? I may live in northern alberta, Canada, But I bought her from near Chicago. From Volo, as you can see on the front of the car.

Hello from far North,Finland!
New on this forum,hope i don't have to ever leave,you know..last Summer i got a chance to buy one of my dream cars!It's -70 500(like you guy's and gal's wouln't know it),orginally 383 car,now has -69 383,hp-manifolds and stock 906heads,727 and 489 casing rear.
First thing was get Black steel wheels,caps and some meat over those wheels.
It's from Wisconcin area,imported 2 years ago.Pretty solid,has some minor bad repairs in the past.But i got to drive last Summer with this Muscle,and my 2-year old son likes it a lot.I put baby seat in front,wife went to back seat.. ;D
(http://file.jaatiedostosi.com/FKdxsX/Dodge.jpg)
Did some tune-up(new carb,coil,adjusted ign) got the engine to run better.QA1 upper arms,new ball joints,tie rod's,rebuilt brakes.all this in few afternoon's work so i could get her running again and into my garage.It was on jack's when i bough't it.Previous owner had started to work on front but lost intrest and sold it to me.I can't blame him :lol:
Few bushings are still desperate need for repair,Eddy RPM intake,MSD dist...but i like the way 383 pulled on open road,even with 570 carb.It's pretty crisp on the pedal.I had 10sec -57 chev with blower on past,so i know how crisp feel's like.
And yes,that's snow behind the car,under that light post :lol:
Picture taken in May.
hello & welcome Stuubi :cheers: :cheers: , looks a nice 70 :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:

Hey 69white hat!
I actually went to look at this Charger before I bought mine. I didn't have the money at the time and never saw one in person before so I checked it out! Very cool. I got to sit in it and all. If I can remember right... the motor put out around 500-550 hp right?
Jeff
Thats's what they said. More like 50. Whoever built it built it way up to something but I havent got a clue what. It ran like crap and smelled of gas real bad. Had to turn the timing back to 8* and the cam was out a quarter turn. Now its probably putting out about 400hp, but it pings if I step on it too much. So I just take it easy and enjoy. One day I'll rebuild it and find out whats in it and what it needs. I put avgas in it once, 100LL, and it loved it. Ran great. But I can't be doing that at 1.70$/liter. Nice to find someone who recognizes it. Wish I could find the guy that half assed the engine.

Well tell you the honest truth,babyseat was easiest to assemble at the passenger seat.I had to use tiedown's,so it's pretty fast to take away.
Thank's for the welcome and i'm glad i found this forum,been reading it for some time now.It seem's that there are many skilled member's.

Yeah, it looked like a nice car. The metallic orange paint is what really stood out! When I saw it, I remember they had the radio out and wires everywhere. When you picked it up, did they still have the Fast and the Furious Charger against the wall? The flat black blown one?
Did they give you that AAAMAZING deal where you pay $15 to look at the car you want to buy and if you actually buy the car, you get your money back?? :lol: Those guys crack me up. Cool place though.
They've tried some goofy stuff at auctions too. (I'll skip the details, suffice to say they just don't get it)
Being form northern alberta Canada, ( Cold Lake ) I didn't really want to go and look at the car so I don't know if the furious charger was there or not. I hired an auto broker out of Calgary to buy the car for me. He had a fee, but the first thing he did was get them to come down on the price more than enough to justify his cost. Then we hired a guy for 150$ to go look at the car and take pictures and write a report. Then we got volo to fix all the obviously bad stuff and I bought the car. Then I paid them to put widshield wipers on and some other stuff so that I could pass an inspection when it got here. The auto broker arranged delivery to Calgary, all the cross border customs stuff and tax stuff so that when I got to Calgary, the car had a plate on it, I shook his hand, fired up the car and drove it straight to my good friend who is my mechanic and he straighteded out the engine. It took some trouble shooting but it certainly runs nicely and cruises exeptionally well. After we put in all the stuff I mentioned above the car will be excellent. The metallic gold flek pearl paint is really beauty, you're right and I get lots of comments about how it glitters in the sunlight. I puchased an Ipod ready original looking radio from classic and put it in the dash to cover the hole. Its not hooked to anything but it looks ok. I really love this car and can't wait till spring to take it cruising. 15$ to sit in a car is pretty funny.

By the way I reeeeeeeeeally love the vinyl top. Classes it up with the white r/t stripe in the back and white interior. I realize not everyone likes em, just like I don't like 14" and 15" pizza cutter wheels, but it's just a little bit different and I love it. :icon_smile_big: :coolgleamA:
I'm a vinyl top fan too. The car looks great and I'm waiting for good weather to get driving again as well. :2thumbs: :cheers:
Right car, right color combination and they look great.
For example, I think a first gen looks better with a black vinyl top than white. Just my :Twocents:
No doubt! I'm also a vinyl top fan. You have a beautiful looking car. That flake in the orange is amazing. :2thumbs:
Jeff

No kidding? Thats funny because Im so 100% of the opposite opinion that I don't even thin a black top should have been offered for the 67 Chargers. Maybe with white exterior but thats it.
And I truly apologize to the black top fastback owners and don't ever think I hate your car, I just like the white vinyl on them so much more.
If a rig has to have a vinyl top, having one on a Charger is the best of both worlds imo.
I must admit I miss my hardtop days. My only bitch is taking care of it & what it does to my car cover. It seems like I can never reach the center when putting the shine on.
:cheers:
Day after I got it. It's in the garage now, working on getting it running. :2thumbs:

hi there
i've finally finished my body.
new roof, new paint (original R4) and a lot of work to do for the old 413 engine!
Most recent shot of mine. Decided to run it up to temp. yesterday and let it move a bit. We had a freak thaw and rain on Friday so the driveway was passable.
Love the black and yellow!!!
68killerbee
Mine looked about like that when I got it. Restored it in 1996. It has a 413 auto with disc brakes and posi. Fun as hell to drive. I like to call it my Green machine.
I can't get a picture the right size to send so I'll give you this link to look at. My son wanted to video for a bit one day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-kpzq7gEuA

I'm in love! I love Keystone Klassics but their offsets appear to conflict the fit on Chargers. Anyone know what size and offset these are? Also noticed it's got the discontinued MT N50's too :(
love the indy profile ss tires,wish they still made them.
From Serbia? Wow it never fails to impress me the number of places these things turn up.

Hi
I did manage to post up some pics here. In my browser they lurk around page 269 or so in this thread. Additionally, there's this site which I intend to update now & then http://s1233.photobucket.com/user/riivattu/library/05%20DODGE%20CHARGER?sort=4&page=0
Cheers & all the best!
riivattu440, that's a beauty.
May I ask, was that rig for sale down in Texas last year? That one was a real black, red striped, 4gear. 6 pak car for what I thought was a very reasonable price for what it was.
:2thumbs: :popcrn:
Yes Sir
My Charger was being restored by Atlas Muscle Cars. Let's just say honesty is NOT their middle name. I was not expecting perfection for 45k but I was silly enough to expect them to be straight. Well I guess certain "absent-mindedness" is part & parcel of the vehicle trade. :) Can't really whinge too much either, the car just makes me grin with excitement, it's such an eye candy. The missing or non-functioning parts can be hunted down, most would even say that's the fun bit!!
Mind you it was not originally manual.
all the best!

Must be to do with the lighting, it makes it appear on a smaller scale.
A perfect specimen Don.

Wow :o I for one have to see more photos of this! Excellent stance and wheel width. Love the scoop too. Very nice!! :2thumbs:
Nice car SYCO, welcome to the group.
Do the back tires rub with that set up??? looks :coolgleamA:
i agree, need more pic's with all the angles. very nice. :drool5:
oh, and welcome to the group. :2thumbs:
:2thumbs: Cool car Syco! I was debating on that same wheel combo for my 70. I just had not seen them on anything other than t-buckets, fender-less street rods and straight-axle setups. I would also love to see some more angles of your car.
wow you guys have some beautiful cars!! I'm jealous!
yes they are Hoppster wheels!
Taken with my work camera which made the color look dark.
Finally got my car out of the garage! It's nothing like you guys car's
I think it looks great!
Thank you ghoste
Same color as mine was factory wise. :2thumbs: Are you planning on keeping it the same color? :popcrn:
Well I was thinking of changing the color when I first bought it but I'm thinking I like the gold.. What color did you go with? Did yours have green interior also?
I haven't made the decision to change it yet, but a previous owner painted the entire car yellow, bumpers and trim included :P There are parts of the gold that still peek through where it wasn't properly prepped. Mine is also a hardtop instead of having the vinyl.
My car also had the green interior, but most of it has been switched to black 68 interior. I doubt that I'll go back with the green interior. If I keep the gold paint, it'll have a tan interior.
I've only seen one other gold 2nd gen. It was 68 with a 318, black vinyl roof, with a silver tail panel, and white interior.
Oh man! I'm sorry to hear that.. Sounds like the previous owner had other plans.. That's kind of why I'm thinking I'll stay with the gold not to mention all the work that goes with it lol are you going to put the vinyl top back on your car? I would like to put a new vinyl on my car but I'm afraid I would screw it up and I don't know anybody that does that kind of work.. I'm not sure I know what a 2nd gen is..
Mine never had a vinyl top. It's a hardtop. Good thing too, little rust around the rear window :woohoo: :woohoo:
Haha yeah that's true! I have a little rust also but it's only seen the garage walls for ever it seems
Good car bulleteater now some of us are jealous, man look at the condition of the car you start with,
Mine took two years of metal work after hours, :2thumbs:
I like your 69 Charger, (68,69,70 2nd. generation) (71-74 3rd. generation) (66,67 1st. generation)
Hey guys here is a beter pic of the wheels on the charger. i am going to change the front tyres to suit the rear and run ET 5 window high angle. use to have these in black. they are a vintage look but still unique on muscle cars. and the tyres rub with 3 people in the car, if i lifted it half an inch i would be right but looks to good as it is to change it. 28x13 micky thompsons un tubbed with the diff shortened.
currently the car is getting mini tubbed to get it a bit lower plus fitting a 4 link. the floor in the boot and wheel tubbs are rusted to i dont mind cutting it up, i got a facebook page of my Garage where I will post regular updates of how it is going.
https://www.facebook.com/#!/outkastgarage
Hey thank you also for clearing up the generations dual fours now I know.. And thank you Fy469rtse I guess I got lucky when I seen the ad in the big nickel years ago.. It was in a barn when I picked it up.. 2 years is a long time but that's something to be proud of... At least I think so. I'd be scared to attempt body work! Syco that's impressive what you got
Bulleteater, did it come (to you) with the wire wheels?
At first I though you had Center Lines, then I looked a little closer at the rear wheel.
The gold paint would be sharp.
Glad you found the car, you'll be proud of your Charger. :2thumbs:
Ha yes I did get it with the wire wheels I left the wire on the back to give it the "look" haha I've been thinking about some fancy wheels but... Do you like the wire wheels? One part of me thinks they look like grandpa's car but the old fashioned part of me really likes them haha well after I had the motor rebuilt and got the trans rebuilt I have a few more bugs but I've loved It and a proud owner of my dream car
I've posted my 69 before, but here is a pic a friend took with his Iphone recently... I just love this pic!

Ha yes I did get it with the wire wheels I left the wire on the back to give it the "look" ha ha I've been thinking about some fancy wheels but... Do you like the wire wheels? One part of me thinks they look like grandpa's car but the old fashioned part of me really likes them ha ha well after I had the motor rebuilt and got the trans rebuilt I have a few more bugs but I've loved It and a proud owner of my dream car
Bulleteater, I do not like the looks of the wire wheels, they look vintage to me, although kind of a dressed/classied up option, maybe I'm just not use to wires on anything other then a small sports car. Wheels just may be the hardest thing to decide on. Hey, I have 15" chrome wagon wheels, and yes there is a reason for them also :slap:.
I still have the factory Rally wheels. More photos of your Charger would be nice, thank you.
Syco 500 , nice car those photos do it so much more justice, are those polished hail brands on the back ? Anyway love the way they look , even the fronts I like, they have that old school drag racer look about them , it's a tough looking car :2thumbs:

I've posted my 69 before, but here is a pic a friend took with his Iphone recently... I just love this pic!
Jason
It is a great pic.
Here are a few more :icon_smile_big:
NICE! :coolgleamA:
Thank you!
It sure is an interesting color combo isnt it? :cheers:
Haha yeah quite interesting.. Gold green blueish White ;D
The gold and green I can see or the gold with the white top but the three together I wouldn't have thought of if I had ordered one new.
bulleteater, your gold 69 looks cool, I wonder how many other 69 Chargers came though with that color combo?
Looks like somebody liked stickers on the windows, the look of a racecar, I doubt if grand pa did them.
Around here, circa 1979, the Cops would fine us for each sticker on the window, in summer we would roll down the windows when cruising around town, then removed them when winter came.
Seems that you have a very good platform to start with.
Thanks for sharing photos.
Yeah I've wondered that many times. I have friends that tell me to paint it orange and turn it into a dukes car.. But I like the gold :icon_smile_big:.. Haha yeah I'm the one that liked the stickers another thing I did when I was young I wanted to have a high output motor and race but man those tickets get expensive lol the cops really give you a ticket for each sticker? Yeah I guess I do have a decent platform and ever since I bought it it's been a learning experience lol thank you
Yeah keep the gold, it's just too seldom seen to cover it up.
That's kind of what I thought... I've been going through the pages and I'll be honest it's like looking at car porn the good stuff! And so far your right gold didn't seem to be that popular of a color.. But I will take some advice and get new wheels :icon_smile_big:

Not a popular color??? but very sharp in deed!!! Found this gold Charger for you.
Back in the days, chevy's were
popular, every normal motor head kid had one, I needed to be different, abnormal, I got a Charger SE, and I sent them home crying to there mommy's, it's funny how there ex-girlfriends would gravitate to the Charger that next weekend when you were sitting at the local hamburger joint. (I think they were there to be spy's)
Oh wow that is a nice color :drool5:! Thank you for the photo! :2thumbs:. That's a great story. It seems that same way here only it's either mustangs or Chevy's there aren't many carb fed Mopar out here . it's good to be abnormal, do you still have the SE?
b-e gold 69, yea I still have the Charger, I'm kinda back in the dark ages, it's seem funny to me to hear guys now setting up there motors with smart phones as they stand along side the road, can't remember too many port fuel injected motors back then (late 70's) running the streets, heard mentions of Throttle Body Injection though, guess F.I. was a rich kids option. In my street action I did not have to have stamina, just had to be quick, anything from one city block out to maybe 3/4's of a mile.
Some challenges were over in less then 100'. Some ended with a fist fight, he11 one involved a baseball bat and I think a crow bar, never did see the guy with the crow bar, just I guess, his shoe marks on the passenger side of the Charger, that could have been a deadly night.
I love to look at MoPar's especially Chargers, what did you call it, car porn :popcrn: :drool5:, from the past (stock / old school racing) and the ones modified with current products, and dream about what I might do if anything with my Dodge Charger, yeah I know there are those that sit and do nothing and then there are doers so I guess that makes me at least for now a done it.
Here's my ride, down by the rail yard under the Route 30 bridge.
I like the peace sign.
oh man thats a good looking car! really cool pic i like the grafitti in the back ground and i also like the peace sign :icon_smile_cool:! i think i was born too late i havent heard of the tuning cars with smart phones that seems a bit funny but it also doesnt surprise me. its like whatever happend to the good ole days where a person listens by ear and pulls out the feelers and the light.. although it is nice to plug into a machine that gives ya optimum hp and torque but still! wow those sound like some pretty crazy street actions! like things out of movies! sounds like a lot of fun.. well without the baseball bats and crow bars that is. how many chargers took the title? im the same way man i love looking at mopars and chargers yeah haha car porn. for the last few yeras i was a sit and do nothing but now im gun ho my paycheck goes towards my car what little i can afford that is so now i am a doer and hope to be in soon a done it :coolgleamA:
A pic of my 70 Charger taken last weekend.
My wife and I will be travelling to the United States mid August with friends, and I was wondering if there will be any Chrysler shows/swap meets down the east coast that may be on during our time there. We are travelling (road trip) from New York south through to Harrisburg, then on through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia to Orlando. :icon_smile_cool:

Mopar Nationals is in Columbus Ohio in August. Not on the coast exactly but it will attract a lot of cars from this side of the country. I'm not sure what other smaller shows are around the same time.

Thanks for the complement, tcs69rt
:scratchchin: The year was 1977, and Lakewoods for $19.95 :scratchchin: a low cost add on, Never had any trouble coming out of the hole, cept being pressed back in to the seat, snubbers were snug against the spring bolts :nono:, and with the aid of solid motor mounts, it was a rough ride but I was young and skinny then and didn't mind the torture :yesnod:,
good vibrations ?
Can't hear very good either, probably from the straight though mufflers, even cracked the glass in my sisters house window one night, caught the devil that night.
I think it was '98 when I got my Lakewood traction bars.. It was so long ago I can't remember being able to drive and tell a difference.. Dual fours I love hearing about the past :popcrn: you have really cool stories! I haven't been able to catch the devil yet.. but I hope to very soon!
I have tried numerous times to post a pic of the 73 Charger that I just bought but have had no success. I bought a 2012 new, and only have 11,500 miles on it. I used to have a dozen or so 3rd gen Chargers here, but after I sold all my cars and parts I came across a 1973 Charger with bucket seats, console, 440 and 727 tranny that runs and just needs the interior finished and paint on exterior! I will be getting back into the parts chase, and resto game now! I have always appreciated the input from the DC.COM Family on this site, and it is good to be back! I would like to find out how to post my pics!

The pics have to be less than 200KB each. I usually resize in paint to 800x600 which usually drops it below 200. You can also google for online pic resizing as on some sites you can put in the maximum size you want it to be. Then give the pic a unique name or it still won't post. I usually add the date to the title.

Go to photobucket, set up an account and then merely copy and paste the link of your image into your thread. If you're successful, you should get a result like this:

WHOA!!! I wouldn't change ANYTHING!! (except maybe the heater core to extend the cruising season) other than that........ the only thing I see is some tarnishing of the chrome on the front bumper. Looks great!! WELCOME TO THE FORUM!
Welcome keith88, Nice Charger :2thumbs:, will watch for the changes :popcrn:.
Get rid of that bungee cord first thing.
Already gone. These pictures were taken right off the truck when she was delivered. I have put air shocks on the back as well since the picture was taken. Changing the rims and tires also ,putting 15" general lee rims with new tires soon have the rims sitting in my living room now.
nice. welcome :2thumbs:

Keith, congrats and welcome! Very nice charger!
I like the look of those tires, what brand and size are they?
Not sure of the brand but they are 235/60/14 . I am replacing them with vector rims( general lee rims) and 245/60/15 in a few weeks.

Nice Charger, be careful with the air shocks, shock mounts on a charger are a weak point and air shocks tend to crack the top mounting beackets. :2thumbs:
Thanks for the info i did see that some where,I had a set in my 70 when i was younger.. of coarse the car was 13 years old at the time and not 45. the plan is only for a year or two until i can put new spring in it.
Coming in the next few weeks.

These will make nice wallpaper, and you even have a Jeep, best of both worlds :yesnod:.

That could be a simple adjustment. Most non Mopar folks have no idea how to adjust the linkage so the tranny shifts properly. Hopefully it didn't hurt anything. I have had a couple lessons from my local Mopar wrench who works on my car and I'm still no expert let alone explain in a post.
Maybe someone here with pics can help on that one.
I suggest posting in the Transmission section.
BTW, and again I am no expert on second gens but I think you may be missing an emblem on you headlamp door. If it's not an R/T, the Charger arrow.

Yea i noticed that to just yesterday I will have to pick one up.
Got my car back today, after getting some front suspension and electrical work done.
Took longer than expected but I'm happy with the results.
I've missed this sight. No more empty garage.

Those are both INcredible pictures!! I would sit in the house all day and stare at my charger if I had an attatched garage like that. Cool!!
And that's a great stance on that charger hydroforce, and those exhaust rings are pretty cool too! Great pictures guys.

Another pic of Black Beauty!
Awesome car . Love the good year polyglas tires.

Pictures of my Charger R/T SE from last week at MATS in Las Vegas.
I couldn't be happier with the old girl, even stuck in bumper to bumper traffic at 90* heat the temperature gauge never moved, ran flawlessly, loved the interstates @ 80 mph, very tight and quiet, and left 50ft of black marks at a couple of stoplights when tasked.
Pretty darn impressive driving experience for a 130,000 mile original Car, that has never had anything touched, or rebuilt, just points & plugs, oil changes, etc., as req'd over the decades.

Love the non vinyl Chargers.
My '68 was an original forest green (excuse me for NOT knowing the actual color code) with a black vinyl top, but when I'm done with my resto in a year, it will be black w/o a vinyl top! I'm super excited about that!

It does look awesome. I have to add I like the appearance of the red with red top look too, makes me wonder what an actual red vinyl would look like on it.

I'm not a year one fan, but the 17 inch wheels they offer and right on the money. Rallye or magnum.
Looks awesome!

How's it going Gent's, New to the Forum and here's a pic of my project 74 Charger SE.
welcome to the group. nice new project. :2thumbs:
Thanks for the Welcome. In the process of trying to get up and running first and then we'll see where it goes from there!
I like the 74's, very classy looking cars. Good to have you around.

:drool5: Amazing car!
:2thumbs:
That is a great looking car. Is it in the 69 Registry? ;) :icon_smile_big:
Thanks for the compliments guys. And yes Ghoste it is in the registry. How close is that to being back online? Original XS, 440, 4-speed console, trac-pak, tic-toc-tac, F3 ext., F8 int, green vinyl top, black rump stripe. Now quad black as you have seen. The original motor was long gone, so I put on alum. heads, TTI headers, Dynamax mufflers, Edelbrock RPM, Holley 770 Street Avenger, Comp 274XE Solid, .30 over. It made 488 hp and 541 ft.lbs. of torque.
Here is one from today, I take possession of rolling chassis on the 30th of May (hopefully)
Dirty, needs last min things still but I like it!
Really sharp.

Dang, no matter how nice of a 3rd gen you have the 68 & 9's have to steal the glory... :brickwall: :pity:
Show some more 3rd gen love for me...come on now. :yesnod:
73' #'s matching Rallye, 33,000 original miles, yeah man.
Yeah, I know, I put on a 71' R/T hood & tails. I really always wanted a 73' Rallye and a 71' R/T.
Since I do not yet own that all #'s matching survivor Brown R/T that is roaming in Solon,Ohio at the Solon Commons Car Cruise or the 71' R/T that is in Chardon, Ohio at Junction Auto... ....I may find a 71' R/T here in AZ...
Till' then I have my 73' Rallye R/T. :2thumbs:

Recently joined the forum. A pic of my 66.
I was lucky enough to meet this car last Saturday. It is great to have another charger owner in the area and I look forward to seeing it more often. Very few first gens out and about at the events around here and this one is a beautiful example. Not to mention rosey66 had his 3 boys in tow, which is what it's all about. Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of Chargers!
68Charger4me I know the fronts are 7" and the back are 8.5" wide I am pretty sure. I bought them off craigslist so don't know the details. Know the front tires are 255 and rears are 295.
thanks :2thumbs:

thx coming from you and your charger being immaculate in my eyes. It was her first drive today after being in the garage and replacing the whole rear end, driveline, radiator, etc.....
I still need to detail her...that's from not detailing for 4 months in the garage sitting on jack stands.

What taillights are those? :drool5:
71' R/T Tails & Hood. :yesnod:
I always wanted a 71' R/T & an 73' Rallye. Well the price of a Rallye was more realistic for me even 10 years ago. So I saved a #'s matching 73' Rallye & added the R/T Hood & Tails.
Troy helped me load that hood up many years ago. Thank you man. I will never forget that.

Thanks guys. I was approached several weeks back by a photographer at a cruise night and he wanted to do a photo shoot. So a couple of weeks later he shot my car at the local train station (for GTA folks...the GO station)....in the enclosed parking structure and out in the open lot.

Nice!!!!!!! very nice Don, is it my eyes or does your driver side torsion bar need snugging up a touch , quick way is to measure at your wheel arches , both photo"s down a touch on drivers cnr
The floor was slanted a bit for water drainage. The torsion bar/control arm heights are equal....however there is indeed one small symmetry thing I want to correct.....the front bumper needs to be lowered 1/4 inch on passenger side. On my winter task list.
Don , not picking on it , one of my favorite cars on here,
its just when there close to perfect that any oddity will stand out, just plain nice evil sitting there :2thumbs:

No offense taken. The bumper alignment drives me nuts...I often ask others at a show.."see anything odd about the front end".....more often than not they don't see it but to me it sticks out like a sore thumb. I've spent a fair amount of time measuring all the points in the front and the only thing that doesn't line up is the bumper....a smidge too high on passenger side. If you have ever had to install and align a 70 bumper assembly you know what a PITA they are.

I feel you pain with my 68... I just went through hours of alignment for my hood as well. finally got it and marked it
nah looks fine Don, again georgous car , :2thumbs:
Its the rears that are a pain
I had problems with the front end of my 70 charger. It looked like it was twisted. The driver side fender sat about a 1/4 inch lower. To move the fender up, I had to enlarge the holes where it bolts onto the radiator support. Now my valance panel lines up. I also removed the front bar and filed out all 4 holes to be able to adjust it straight. Took me about 6 hours to get it right.
Very nice Charger Don! :2thumbs:

Hello 808cuda. :)
These are E-T Mags, model Black Spoke from 70's, 15x10 with 5'' BS. These are similar to Keystone Klassic, but rare to find, especially this backspace. I saw many times 15x10 w/ 4'' BS, but those with 5'' BS appears to be very rare. These are NOS, i bought few sets on ebay years ago. The only way to fit stock height Charger with N50-15 is 15x10 with 5'' BS. They fit perfect.

Here's a recent shot of mine
here's a pic from last weekend after testing out the new Holley 750. I still working on a few things but its close.
Nice, the last two are photos of cars we don't see on here much. (White and Red you always just have that teaser shot in your avatar)

Godsmack635, Where did you take that last picture? Just trying to figure out if I have been to the same spot.
It was at Scale Burgers parking lot in Elbe, WA this past August. My wife and our 3 year old daughter took the cruise out there from our home in Orting. Perfect day for a drive in the Charger.
Nice place. It is not where I have been, so I must have been thinking of someplace else. I'll have to go there sometime.
Here is my daughter at her first car show. Maybe she'll show more interest as she gets older! :lol:
A babe in Big Boy's Toy Land. :lol:
Went for a blast out to a mate's farm, had a bit of fun on the dirt roads and grabbed a few shots while out there, awesome fun!

Hello cragarss, just like 808cuda asked do you know what the offset on these are with the 5" BS?
I'm planning on doing this with Cragars SS 15x10's. Not sure if I'll go as wide as N 50's but something that will definitely fill the wheel well.
Thanks :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Over the summer I added 71 taillights, 72 hideaways, buckets and Keystone Klassics.

Not sure on brand, couldn't find any markings. They are a 15inch 8 or 10 inch wide offset. They were off of the guys wrangler and I'm pretty sure they were 31inch 11.50 size tires on the other two rims

Hey Laxy, there's a '69 General with the same plate on Just Cars for $65k, except this ones in SA not WA.
I thought it was the same car at first, the plate style looks very similar.
Or is it???

That's the same car! The engine bay is identical, but the roll cage wasn't there when I saw it, probably removed for rego. Strange that the new WA plates look almost identical to the SA plates.
All makes sense though, he bought the car 4 months ago from SA, looks like the ad never got taken down.
Couple of pics of it outside for the first time since having the panels bolted back on :coolgleamA:

Hi guys, just joined the forum. I'm from the UK, have wanted a (proper) American car since seeing films and tv shows as a kid in the 70's. After having a few VW's I finally got my first V8! It's a 66, 383 with 4 speed manual and SureGrip rear. As far as I can see it is original paint, very straight apart from a small scrape on rear drivers wing (fender to you guys?) and small ding in chrome trim on front of hood. It's an Oregon car, very solid with only weak spots being in the floor pan at front where feet rest on both sides, it looks like water has been in and sat at some point in its life to cause this, I'm guessing it was parked nose down at the time as from the front seats back it is really nice! Engine was already rebuilt with stock parts and it's still running in. It's got some new/refurbed bits like alternator, fuel pump, radiator, 2 1/2" exhaust. I have a bunch of jobs to do, many small, some big and I havnt got a clue what I'm doing so be gentle! Oh I have the Certi card, build sheet, factory check list, original bill of sale which is nice to have. Anyway enough of me babblin on, this is it,

Congratulations and welcome to the group. The fastback Chargers are endearing and the longer you own the more you will like it. Very cool cars. :cheers:
That is a very nice 66! Love those interiors. Welcome aboard :cheers:
welcome. nice ride. :drool5:
hello & welcome XP29 :cheers: :cheers: nice looking first generation :coolgleamA: :2thumbs:
Welcome XP29, that is a very nice 66' Charger. :2thumbs:
Makes you wonder how that small ding got in the chrome trim on front of the hood (bonnet to you guys?) :icon_smile_wink:
You have the paper work also, how cool.
You can babble on as much as you like about Dodge Chargers, but you have to send pictures along.
Thanks guys, I'm guessing the dings in the trim might have come from when it was shipped over. I've been building a to do list, I'm sure it will grow! But this is it for now,
Big issue is getting front floors repaired, otherwise it's bits like,
Headlight motors repaired
Look at carb as it's not liking to start in the cold
Find a glovebox liner
I have power to rear passenger cabin light, but not the other three lights (lamps are good)
Have no power to turn signal tell tale lights on dash pod, no lights work thinking about it, but the gauges do.
Rev counter not working
Mechanism that switches heat (in big black box behind dash) has rusted solid.
Horn worked, but now there us just a "clunking" noise from relay on firewall
Radio works though!
Broadcast sheet is pretty cool

Oh and I need an R as we just have a CHARGE at the moment :lol:
Nice original looking 66. Maybe some ground problems to deal with, but that's part of the fun of ownership.

Thanks, yes I'm thinking ground issues might be the cause for a lot of what's not working. Have he manual printed off so can get the dash pod out and see how I go from there.

Wheels and tires are:
Rear: Tires are P275/60R15; Wheels are 15x10 with 4.5" backspace.
Front: Tires are P245/60R15; Wheels are 15x8 with 4" backspace.
I'm running a 0.375" spacer on the rears to clear the disc brake calipers (aftermarket). No spacer was required on the fronts to clear the calipers.
Wheels are Cragar D-window with generic black centercaps.

Jeff,
Glad you like the hood , mines the same , had to see thread , steel hood , fibre gass scoop
Oh white and Red your just being nice ;D its nothing compared to your setup. I put it on really ghetto, DETROIT style. From far it looks great, but closer you get you would say, 'Damn what was he thinking' LMAO....
My car was a star that night everyone wanted to see it...so I was happy to show it, but people disappointed I didn't open the hood they kept trying to peek in there in the scoop to see what it was like. :angel:

17's.
17x8 front, and 17x9.5 rears, I shortened the rear axle by an inch either side to get a nice deep dish on the rims, and am so glad I did.
:)
Many thanks for the kind words, I have a 70 Challenger, 71 Roadrunner and an A100 as well, and am currently on the hunt for a 70-71 Cuda.
I can put some pics up of my other Mopars if you like?
Been a Mopar guy ever since I was brought home from the hospital in one after I was born!
:)
Looks great! 17's are what I'm going to run. :2thumbs: :cheers:

Hi, new to the forum, I'm from Melbourne Australia, I have a few Mopars, and this is My 70 Model Charger...

Cheers,

I miss having a non vinyl top car. That's a nice lookin' rig. I like that you resisted the urge to throw R/T badges on it. :2thumbs:
I like how your collection is diverse. Very, very nice bunch of Mopars sir! Mopar looks to be well represented in your part of the world. :2thumbs:
I had 2 '70 Chargers at one time and it was nice to use one that was nicer as a reference for some stuff on my current car actually but other than that small amount of time I've always had a different model as a 2nd rig. There's several more I want to try to own & one I want back.
Nothing wrong with just collecting one model either. Shout out to the one model lovers. :punkrocka: ;)
Beautiful rides gents :2thumbs:
Greetings, thought my first post should be here. I'm the second owner of triple tan here for almost 20 years. Got her back on the road after the original timing chain fell apart.

Bronze,
Welcome to the forum!!
Sweet Bronze charger! More pics please.
Sporting the original hubcaps :2thumbs:
Good to see you on here PGM, I was going to post pics of your '70 on here at some point but figured you would join eventually!
I dig it.
Bronze, welcome to the group and that is a beautiful car. :drool5:
I like those factory saddle tan interior cars! Nice car you have there bronze! :2thumbs:
It would be a great addition to the 69 Registry if it isn't there already. :D
Thanks. It only looks good in some pics. Right rear quarter was wrinkled a bit by the first owner. That's 45 year old paint, well, 46 next month. Really cool being the 2nd owner. I rode in the car when I was 10 or 11. First owner and my Dad worked together, I'm friends w/ his son, longtime friend. He got into Fords though. I just stopped in one day in '96 and Elmer (first owner) said- "Know anyone who wants to by that Dodge?" He didn't have to ask twice.
XP29H9B------ numbers match. With A/C and power drums all around, now w/ A body discs. Went to electronic ign without drilling hoes.

Great to see it out, I noticed it in the background of a mate's pic from that show but didn't realise it was yours. Cragars look awesome.
68pplcharger it's yours , was a left over from another car
Was very rusty, you wouldn't believe how much work went in to this to fit repair , and the after all that ,
Had to cut a big hole in it :brickwall:
Steel with hemi scoop is fibreglass
Big holes are big holes.... I like the way the hood turned out, gives it presence :2thumbs:
Just my humble opinion, I love the clean flanks look and the silver and R/T badge rock, the double stripe I'm having to try to reconcile with the overall look...
Stoked for you that you are out and enjoying it , sweet :2thumbs:

Those slots look very date in the 70s-80s :hah:
oh yeah, I have some of them on one of my cars and I like them now. Sure did not like them back in the 80s, so maybe when I am old, older I mean, I will not like them again maybe... :shruggy: :slap:
Thanks for the compliments guys. It was nostalgic for me since I had them back in the 80's. I got tired of my steel wheels, and thought I'd change it up a bit. Here's a couple more pics
That is one sweet ride! :drool5:
Car looks awesome! love the wheels. :2thumbs:
Looks Great. I really like the stickers in the front windshield. That pic could be out of a photo album from the early 70's
From back in the late 90's. My buddy took this pic when he was waiting for me to pick him up early in the morning. We commuted 40 miles to work that day and then 40 more after work to the track to race that night. I remember him saying he could hear me rumbling down the side streets.
That's a cool pic.. Looks like it was an earlier photograph then the late 90's almost reminds me of a magazine article.. :2thumbs:

I'm new to the site, here is a pic of my current project. 68 Charger R/T. I had known about this car for the past 15 years or so. The previous owner also had a roadrunner that needed some work done to it and he initially was going to pay me to work on his roadrunner for him and get it back on the road, well about 2 weeks into working on the roadrunner he said instead of paying me to work on his roadrunner he would sign the charger over to me once I was done with his roadrunner. So 1 year later after working on his other car the charger is now mine. He had a lot of work done already to the car, underside, jams, engine bay, trunk and interior is all painted shiny black. He also had a 500 inch stroker engine built. I just sold my 70 superbee and 68 GTX to finance the rest of the charger. I plan on installing FAST EFI, A/C, new wheels and tires and a few other mods to make it handle good.

I have a bunch. I'll do a separate thread in the main section and call it 67 Charger Restomod Complete
Updated with link to pictures

Looking forward to it! :cheers:
Picked up my first Charger a couple of weeks ago - '68 440. I have had a '71 Challenger and currently have a '70 Cuda as well.

Great looking car! :2thumbs: Nice color!
Just out of curiosity, is that a 3-car garage with a tandem 4th? I'm having a house built right now and have that layout going in. Very excited about it! :icon_smile_big:

The sunset with the script and fuel cap should be a poster.

Thanks guys! I got lucky with that sunset shot, must have literally taken 30 pics but that one is really special.
Jeff,
My garage is a 3 car tandem. I had to build shelves braced from the ceiling to fit the Charger, Cuda and my Ram 1500. A lot of guys won't put shelves over their cars, but I had no choice if I wanted all the cars in the garage. And with the Colorado winters, hailstorms, and wind blowing around stuff outside I wanted all 3 in the garage. I am careful what I stacked on the shelf so nothing can just roll off or easily fall off.

You should see if you can get a new Charger and do the same shot, kind of a ghost of the past.....
Great idea, bad car. You could not give me one of those new Chargers. Sorry to "ruffle any feathers" but they NEVER made a 4 door Mustang, Camaro or Charger. Dodge fell on their face with the new Charger and I'm not the only one with that opinion. They should have named it the Coronet since they made them in 2 and 4 doors :shruggy: I will step off my soap box now, thanks! Like most guys here I liked your pic (303 Mopar) of the gas cap and sunset in the background, way cool! I have a similar one but the fender and gas cap are wet from a drive in the rain, last fall. I will search for it and post it too :cheers: TC
:2thumbs:
Reminds me of the Michael Irvine paintings with the reflection like that.
My Dad bought this new in 1972. I drove it around in high school. My Mom drove my sister with it to her wedding. He claims there's a pistol still hidden in the back behind one of the panels in back! I will keep all posted on that one. I plan on driving it again this summer. He's 77 now. Its not a badass 70' but its got a lot of memories. Original Paint. Original Vinyl top.
White 1968 440. Just installed a crate engine over the winter & gave her a quick shakedown run last weekend. Pretty happy with the results (13.4 @ 105 through stock exhaust & 3.55 rear gears).

Wow, great color!
My '68 was this color (with a black vinyl top and black R/T stripes) when I purchased it 2 years ago. I can honestly say that I absolutely HATED it! :lol:
It was done very poorly and just had a lot of rust and bubbling from bondo coming up beneath it.
All I wanted was a black car (which is what I just had the body shop paint it).
Right now, looking back... I appreciate this color so much more. I don't know if it's sentimental or not, but it just looks amazing on your car! :2thumbs:
:cheers:

Hi All,
Been enjoying all the great pics on this thread. Thought I'd add some pics of my '68. It's not a factory Hemi R/T, but still a blast to drive and enjoy.
A couple more.
Nice looking car.
Thanks XH29N0G!
Great color! Mine was that same color when I got it (and from the factory).

Well it's Autumn here, and the Charger's been cooped up for a month after some unseasonably heavy rain and lack of spare time.
Stretched its legs today with a morning run in the North West Sydney countryside.
It's good to be alive.

Here's an interesting fact, if anybody cares.
I just found out that the location where the first three photos above were taken, used to be the the main straight of a racetrack- Amaroo Park, existing between 1967 to 1998.
I remember hearing about this place as a kid, even seeing races on TV, but I never went there to watch a race.
It was a complete fluke that I made it there today, we were just cruising in the area looking for scenic places to stop.
The red arrows in these next vintage pics, shows the location my Charger was sitting.

Our club cruise Saturday was to the Glen Curtis Museum in Hammonsport, NY.
My wife took a sort of cool pic of our cars with the 67 door emblem in the shot and a members Imperial behind.
"Leader of the Dodge Rebellion"!
That is cool, was she trying for that on purpose?
Nice!

Yeah, she took about 25 shots and either got the "Charger" in focus or the Chrysler. Couldn't do both apparently. I think it came out fine, certainly can tell it's a 65 Imperial.

It came out great, the background scenery is right too, nice but not distracting.

You were going so fast you nearly tore the numbers off the side.
Sorry, I've been posting a lot of pics lately. The weathers been so good and she's been running well.
74 degree Winters day and a long weekend. I wasn't going to miss this opportunity.

Out cruising the Aspen Valley Ranch where they filmed Fast & Furious 7. I still have not seen the movie, only the first 2 movies of the series. Probably should watch them all in order huh?
Very cool! Where they did the opening scene with the lifted off-road Charger?
In case you don't know the F&F movies are in some seriously weird order in an attempt to make Tokyo Drift fit into the series.

There's actually going to be an "8"?
I figured the franchise would be done after Paul Walker passed.

Too much money to be made.
also money spill over from Fast 7 did you see how much it made vs cost to make it....so a 8 is in demand, but I bet its lower budget than 7.
Hey all, I'm not sure this is where I should introduce myself with my first post, hopefully it's all good.
I'm new to the dodgecharger forum and just added a '69 R/T to my collection. I don't have her in my possession yet but it should be delivered shortly. I've had a Challenger Resto-mod for about 5 years now and thought this addition would be a great fit. I don't expect it to handle and respond as the Challenger does but I'm looking forward to the authenticity of beautiful muscle car from that era.
There are some really sharp looking Chargers on this forum, I hope she fits in.

Everytime I see your car TPR I want to put Magnums on mine! Nice cars guys! :2thumbs:
66 with 318 and auto full body resto and all the available interior from legondary
Gidday Trev, Nice looking Gen I, put up a few more pics when you get a chance.
Here's mine in the rain today, just had my new rears fitted and turned the white writing inside for a change

The Road wheels are original to the car, but the tires the previous owner installed where just basic little donuts. Wayyyy to small in diameter. I thought about putting F-70-14's on the RT but went ahead and put these Torque Thrust II's on the car. I had them on a 68 I once owned and really like the way the car looks with this setup. 15x7 245 60 15 up front and 15 x 8 275 60 15 out back. Great stance and fills up those massive wheel wells. I just went with 3.75" back spacing because I like a deep dish look. The car is originally Red...the Garnet Red color with a black tail stripe. The son of the original owner painted it Orange. I bought the car from the second owner and have known this car since I was 16. Local SC car with 29K miles. It's a pleasure to drive, and enjoy that Carter 750 CFM kick in!
Here is my baby, 1972 charger with a 1969 340, granted of course that the picture works :icon_smile_big:
My 70 Charger project, should be on the road soon!!
Looks good Mark :2thumbs:
Thanks JB400!!
Hi - My name is Matt and Im based in The UK ( England ) This is my first post so i thought i would introduce myself and my car to you guys.....
The car is a 69 Charger R/T 440 ( A33 ) 4 speed Track pack which Ive restored to more or less original condition. I purchased the car from Sweden in January this year and Ive spent 5 months getting the car to the condition it deserves to be in. I have been searching for an R/T for about 10 years on and off but in The UK they are extremely rare and very, very expensive !! This car was based in a town near Stockholm, Sweden so i made the round trip of 3000 miles in my truck / trailer and brought her back to the UK on a ship crossing ( Rotterdam to Hull ) The car was a little neglected but very solid and original. We stripped her down to a rolling shell and renovated the bodywork to a very high standard. Lots of new parts were purchased from the USA and shipped over. The interior and engine bay were also refurbished. I kept the original gauges in a box but replaced them with more modern / accurate ones for peace of mind on long journeys.
I did a little research on the car and tracked down 2 of the previous owners from the USA. One guy was called Ken Barnett ( Barnetts Bodyshop 1212 Cedar run rd Blacksburg VA ) who purchased the car from Salem in the 1990's. He replaced a lot of the panel work and then ran it for a while in primer. He then sold the car to a gent called David Shephard in the same town. David then spent 2 years building the car to a very high standard. He then sold it to the first owner in Sweden in 2005. From 2005 up until Jan 2015 the car has covered only 1900 miles !! I managed to trace and speak with David and the previous owners daughter ( Beth Barnett ) and had a nice chat via email with them both. Ken Barnett unfortunately passed away but Beth told me a little bit about the car and the fun memories she had of her father who was a big Mopar fan.
I have wanted a Charger since i was 6 years old. In my opinion its the best looking car ever built. If you were to place a brand new Bentley in front of me or a Charger R/T i would take the Charger all day long - Nothing else comes close :icon_smile_big:
Here are a few pics of the car ............

Here is my 70 Charger I just picked up yesterday from Oklahoma. I traded my 1972 Plymouth Scamp 360 4 speed for it. I cant wait to get started on it, the Charger came with a 30 over 440 and everything to put it back together. Previous owner installed over $6,000 worth of new AMD sheetmetal on it and was overwhelmed and wanted a car that ran and drove. So I made the 650 mile trip one way to do a swap. It is my dream car and finally got one

The black 69 is my next project
After getting it home and going through the fender tag it was originally Q5 colour and built on August 7 1968 (first week of 69 production)
They're going to be a great pair.
I thought the '69 sold going by the picture of it loaded up on a trailer?

Well after searching in vain for a driver solid 2nd gen I came across this third gen 71 on eBay a few weeks ago. Teetered on it for a day or two, but the buy it now price was too good to pass up. So I jumped on it.

Looks pretty decent. What's the specs on it? :popcrn:
340. Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carb with electric choke. Three on the tree with the 727.
Exhaust needs to be redone as it ends before the rear end and hangs about 9"s off the ground and scrapes every time I hit a bump. Pretty much none of the gauges really work too well so that will be addressed as well. The charging system and headlights are being upgraded tomorow. Overall it's in great shape though. No rust, just a few minor dings that are barely noticeable. Original glass. Interior is pretty solid as well.

Daaaaaaamnnnn!!!! Looks badass cdr :2thumbs:
First im not sure how long the bank is gonna figure the finance out!!
They are quite expensive these cars here too..
The plan is first to raise the front couple inches. Its too funny :lol:
Next is adjusting the engine, it got a edelbrock 600/650 and a torqer manifold.
The choke its not 100%
In the dash some meters dont work. The clock, fuel gauge and water temp is out.
After market temp gauge is installed under dash. So i hope to buy some new gauges
and install a tic toc tac.
The heater is not functional because the hoses isnt mounted. The fan is working.
Also factory AC car but everything is out. Not gonna do anything with that.
It got disc brakes and it pulls a bit to the left on hard braking. Start to clean and greese it.
The engine i think is a bit worn, some blue smoke when its cold and oil pressure is 20 psi when its warmed upp!
In a year or two i think i gonna rebuild it.. Maybe stroke it.
The whole car is foiled/taped, not very good in corners! But the car looks mean.
The original paint under is faded but ok-. The color is brown/red/orange.
The engine have been painted orange and engine Bay is painted black. Not sure what to do..
-Drive it like it is, remove the foil and have it original, paint it original or paint it black.
Otherwise the car is very Nice to drive and interior is fine. No dangerous rust to see :2thumbs:

Went to a local car show and had a gorgeous '66 park next to me, and then a murdered out '70 park across. Very rare to have 3 Chargers at a local non-Mopar only show.

that is a Australian dash it came out of a Chrysler by Chrysler, (yes a stupid name for a car)
and power windows, would be interesting to see the rest of the car
70 's aussie dash made from different models, including a e37 steering box and ap6 Colum VK gauges.
Chrysler by Chrysler 1972
2 answers a few question . paid 1800 us back in 8/8/1988
landed it in oz for 10 gs ...it's had 2 rebuild in that time it was repainted back in the 80's before I imported to the land of OZ.
it's had a few motors and boxes and diffs replaced in the past years but pretty indestructible now
69 charger fully fruited.

It was fabricated with a set of 32" ladder bars for a consistent foundations for the coilovers. all the suspension was custom made.
It handles like a racecare, it sticks to the road
rt_bigblock, sorry about your misfortune. You could start your own thread with all those pix with an explanation that would prolly garner quite a bit of interest.
Viper Charger, I've only driven my wife's SRT10 a couple times but know how crazy the torque is with one of those motors. I like boiling the hides while rolling along & that truck certainly did it. 1st time I tried I was blown away that a truck could do that. I think it'd give my Charger a run for it's money. :shruggy:
We got lucky when buying seeings how the gas was almost $4 a gallon. They couldn't give it away. What's nice is the wife has put about 40k miles on, owned it for little over 4 years & it's residual value is what we paid initially. :2thumbs:
Got a Coleman bravo 2 camera, like go pro but probably not as good. Was a reward for being with my company for 15 years. Sound is not good as it's in an underwater housing, clamped to the door handle.

Yes, the viper V-10 has a lot of power, it will definitely throw you back in the seats.
I got on it yesterday going about 30, and before I new it I was going over 100mph, and I think the tires spun most of the way there! :2thumbs:
I drove a SRT10 truck once, and I was amazed at its power, they are pretty awesome!

Picture of my silver 67 Charger restomod at the restoration shop. I was visiting when they brought in another 67 Charger in excellent condition. Blue (aqua marine) Charger has the original motor (believe #s matching but I did not ask about transmission) restored to original. My car, other than the 17 inch wheels appears to be original (that was the goal) but has a 6.4L, 6 speed tremec, wilwoods, rms and vintage air. Trying to have the old car that drives like new. In any case, was not expecting the other car to be brought in today so it was a pleasant surprise
a few more pictures
What a great looking pair they are!

Even cooler I know where that car is today. A Y28 public relations car...loaded, one of the most optioned cars I've registered including sunroof. If I had the space I'd buy it in a second.
From the autocross today. A few more action pics in my thread.

Nice, I like the reflection.
Thanks ghoste. The photographer was really cool and has an impressive collection of work on his site. When/if he posts some more I'll share them here.
I missed sharing my 318 car on page 318..but its on 317! :nana: :rofl:

A luxurious family car is what it was actually designed for.
JR, love your ride. :2thumbs: If the photographer got any lower, like trying to get the rear pass. wheel/tire in the shot then I'm afraid you wouldn't see the hood black out contrast on the yellow.
Are you running yellow headlights? I bought a pair since I always planned on putting them inside ( high beams ) just to take some pix. I could always leave them since they're never seen anyways? :shruggy:
Last pic of all the girls before I sold the 71. She went to a good home in Grafton, Ohio.

Thanks 472,
Funny you mention that, I actually have another pic where be got lower and you can't see the blackout at all.
The lights are just standard, parts house replacement bulbs. I've done the relay upgrade, they get 12.5 volts or so direct to the lamps, they're just really dim. I don't know why.
I actually like the yellow/french highbeam look. I wouldn't be opposed to yellow highbeams. They look cool.
I think they'd look great on your Charger.
I just wanna throw this out there:
I've got decent Photoshop skills so if anyone needs any pictures healed up or light corrected, I should be able to help! :2thumbs:

This technically isn't a pic of my charger but anyway, my wife took this today and I thought it was pretty cool

As I stood swaying from side to side at the Airways ticket desk last night, the guy looked at me and said, "Can I help?"
"Yes," I slurred, unzipping my superman costume and pulling my wallet out, "One ticket to please."
"You're unable to fly, sir." he replied, "You're far too drunk."

Here's a picture of my '70. I picked it up about a year ago. It's an original R/T U-code 4-speed A33 Track Pack car. It currently has a NOM 440 Magmum & 4-speed in it. Has original Dana 3.54. Love the car and would love to find out more history on it if anyone knows it (VIN Sequence number 178574). It supposedly originated down in Georgia and made its way up to the midwest (Indiana) several years ago.

I am not cruel to it, just had to put it outside for a few days while I am insulating and plating the garage on the inside.
So it will be moved into a permanently heated garage for the remainder of the winter.

Thanks for the compliments, guys, appreciate it.
So, it's a Charger 500. Original 73k miles. Painted Midnight Cherry Black with Matt black hood. Obviously a 440, worked with big cam and all the goodies. Custom cooling. Just under 500 ponies at the rears, 727, 2500 stall, 3:55 gears. Disc brake upgrade front and rear.
I've had lots of nice cars in the past, (no Chargers) but I've gotta say there's something special about this one.....now I know what they mean........Mopar or no car. :icon_smile_big:
What's with the 2nd gen body and a 3rd gen grill? :scratchchin:
Road test. Non-ethanol is down to $3.69 so time to fill up. :o
$ 2.02 /gallon for no-ethanol 91 octain in my town.
1.79 for ethanol regular.
The price of gas isn't curbing your miles in that beauty, is it? Say it ain't so..... :pity:
Nope. The weather does but not the cost of fuel.
I know a guy who bought a '68 Dart to enjoy and take to shows. Almost every time I saw him he was whining about its mpg and the cost of gas and I just wanted to slap him. If you don't like spending money on gas you'd better just join the Yaris club.

New Wheels and Tires Installed
Nice!! What size wheels and tires?
US Mags U102. 17x8 255/45, 18x9 265/50 Nitto P555 . I'll have to put this on the wheel and tire thread. Thanks to all the information there, I could figure out what I wanted. Was looking for a classic look in a larger wheel with a tire with some sidewall to it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: stunning car. :yesnod:
Makes mine look like a junkyard special!

Thanks. Any Charger, especially a second generation looks good!
Sure but mine looks best when you squint! And it's best to keep your eyes closed when looking inside. The original green, and worn, interior can make you faint!

Got a couple of shots from my wedding back in September as we were driving to the reception. These were caught on a whim, but they turned out pretty cool.
I spent 2.5 months thrashing day and night to finish this "quick and easy" respray before the big wedding day. The paint was 3 weeks old in these pics and could use a cut and buff, but I don't care. I just want to drive it now.

Anyone know how the hell to post a pic on this site. Pictures taken from my phone are at least 700mb. Anything over 200mb gets bounced back.
best thing to do is download a photo resizing app and compress the picture size to small
This one works well: http://webresizer.com/resizer/
Choose file>upload image>set image width to 800 or 1024 and click apply changes to see what size it is. Download once you get it below 200Kb. 1024 usually gets it well below 200Kb for me.

200kB is the limit. It's fairly easy to hit that mark with a 1024x768 resolution. If yours are 700MB that's about wall sized.
My new phone has a 17 megapixel camera. It makes pictures almost 25 times larger than what is even visible on a 15" monitor (and people view them on a 3" phone screen). It's no wonder everyone needs high speed internet! ;)
There are countless threads on picture resizing in the help section. Some day, I will add a resizer to the site - but I still won't let you upload a 700MB file!

Well if you're doing it from a P/C it's called Micro Soft Paint. This program is pre-loaded from the factory on just about any P/C that runs using Micro Soft Windows. Right click on the image file that you want to downsize and select "open with" and then after that select "paint" from the drop down menu. In paint you will see an option on the upper header that says "resize" on that prompt you will see resize by percentage or by pixels. I use the percentage. It always starts you at 100% for both vertical and horizontal. To make a correct resize you must chose the same % number in both vertical & horizontal. So enter a number below 100 to down size.
Before you attempt to post your pic on DC.com you can check your pic to see if it's under the 200kb allowance by right clicking on the pic file, then select "properties" and it will show you the size data. If you're still over 200kb, repeat the resizing steps again until you get it under 200kb.
What I do is usually keep the original size of my pics taken, then copy them to a different folder for editing. It's not necessary but it's what I do.
But if doing it from a phone well that's not my cup of tea.
:cheers:

nice what size are the rims and tires ? what did you do to your car to lower it ?
^x2...
What suspension setup are you running Jarven? The stance is awesome.
Man! Awesome cars! That '70 is lookin' right.
Thanks guys, I have not done much actually. In the rear I have fitted a 1-inch distanceblock between leafspring and axle. Modified the front leafspring hanger to get the spring elevated upward as much as possible. In the front I have just adjusted the torsionbars, they are a bit beefier than oem though.
The wheels are 20x9 and 20x11. looking into widening the rear outwards to 12 or 12,5. I need more rubber.. but the car is no fun driving at the moment since my front geometry is way off. Gonna get hotschkis upper controlarms to gain more caster and maybe lower the outer tierod-ends to get rid off as much of the bumpsteer as possible. I have owned this car for many years but I feel life is going in the right direction with regards to sparetime working on my cars, I have too many.. :brickwall:

I'd recommend going Saturday. We went Saturday and Sunday last year and they started to tear down and head out pretty early Sunday.

beautiful day to go for a drive. :2thumbs: Needed a drink first.
This is my 68 Charger converted to a 6.1L HEMI, it's running with a 727 and 3.23 posi and 1800rpm stall converter. It's like a daily driver.
My project is to swap the 727 with a A518 overdrive transmission, install 3.91 posi, install hughes 2500rpm stall converter and some more interesting stuff. (including new transmission crossmember, drive shaft, etc etc etc)
All for a daily driver use with good MPG.

I was finishing a little work up at the store today and this showed up! 1968 RT Charger. It sounded just as awesome as it looks.
80 degrees and sunny Saturday at the car show

Here's mine at the North Carolina Regional AACA Show that took place April 30.
First time in a show and took First Place in the 74-75 Class. The car is missing the rear hood and fender trim but that didn't matter to the judges.
And a few more.
Went out for a drive with some friends last night. Roscoe didn't stand a chance!

I made a few changes on my car this spring. It came with magnum wheels and after having it for 20 years it was time for a change. I have always liked the body color steel wheels with dog dish caps so I painted up a set of wheels and found a super nice set of caps on Ebay. Yah I know the body color wheel paint option stopped in '71 but I love the look and I think it really works with the F1 Pale green.
Before and after.

Awesome Charger and kudos to you for doing all the work also !!
Thanks. I've always done my own work/restorations. I just can't bring myself to pay somebody for something I can do, lol. I've had over 70 cars, and this is my 5th Charger. It's by far the most fun though. It looks stock and goes 12.50s all day long. Not super fast, but decent for a big old B-body!
Took the Charger out for a 3 hour drive today (National holiday here). My oldest son joined me as he is into photography and wanted to take a few pictures along the way.
Some pictures he took from the cruise.
We spent most of the time cruising remote country roads but then went down to the harbor on the lake and then to the Glen Abbey Golf Course (home of the Canadian Open PGA event). We passed a black Hellcat Charger along the way.

Lol, thanks for the compliment. Anyway, I do agree most people don't know what 12.50s feels like, let alone in an old 60s car. I ran a 63 Dart for 15 years out at my local track. Was an X head 360 footbrake car that went 10.70s, and a 68 Barracuda 4-speed street car with an Eddy head 408 that went 11.60s on drag radials. I guess in comparison 12.50s is boring to me, lol. I'm new to this site and there are some BEAUTIFUL cars that have been posted. I just wish mine was a 4-speed. One day....
The day I brought it home :icon_smile_big:

Looks like Google doesn't allow linking. They have code to "embed" the image on other web sites but it doesn't work in forums. Lastly, that image is HUGE - and it's upside down (the real one, not what you see on Google).
(I edited this at work where I have no tools so it got pixelated.)
Troy
I am not much for lime but that looks real good :shruggy: :shruggy:
Thanks Troy! It has a 440 with a 727 right now. But I have thoughts of converting it to 6.1L HEMI (moving that driveline from my 68 Charger). So this winter it can be a drivetrain swap between those cars!
Cheers!

The wheels are (obviously?) AR Vectors. Fronts are 15x7, rears are 15x8. Tires are all Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T. I'm pretty sure that the front tires are 225/70r15. Rear tires are 295/50r15 for sure (people ask me about those a LOT).

I stand corrected, the front tires are 235/60r15.
I knew they were Vectors I just didn't know what size.

How the hell do you guys post pics. Every time i try to attatch a picture the file is WAY too big. Even if i compress the picture. Whats up with that????
Here is how it works...make the photo less than 200 kb in size, and then post. If the photo name is already used, change the name and re-post. If you try to post a too large a photo then that photo needs to be renamed after you re-size it down (even if a photo is too large, that name is now "in the system" and cannot be used again - add a "-1" to it is a easy solution). That is all there is to it.
I borrowed Dan's explanation. I open the pictures with "Paint" to work on them. Good luck. :2thumbs:
I use a third party site (photobucket in my case, but there are others). You upload the photo there and then use an IMG tag to post it here.
Greetings Charger owners and fans,
I just got ownership of a 1969 Dodge Charger with a 383.
My dad bought this car in 1982-3 in Minnesota. He bought it from a lady who was the only other owner of the car. He picked it up for a good price, tuned it up, and turned it into our family vehicle.
I can remember sitting in the back seat as we drove to get groceries. I would beg him to drive through the ditches—and he would! Dad painted the car orange around '84 or so and did some more work to the motor. For a while, he had the General Lee decals on the car.
As you can imagine, the car has always had a special place in my heart/mind. Dad held onto it for all these years, through his moves to different states and through life challenges. It hasn't run since the mid-90s after too some general troublemaking that I won't get into.
Through the years, our hope was to restore it together with my (future) children. Alas, Dad died this summer of a stroke. Our dream won't be fulfilled together, but I'll work on it, and slowly I'll get it roadworthy again—hopefully with some kiddos of my own.
First pic is Dad with the Charger years and years ago, right after he painted it from green to orange.
Second pic is the Charger after I brought it home (my nieces were really impressed).
Great. welcome to the group family_dodge. :2thumbs:
I'm sorry for your loss. Awesome story and great that you're going to restore your dad's car! :2thumbs:
Welcome. I came into possession of my car the same way. The best part of my car--above any prestige or rarity--is that it reminds me of my dad. Even just the smell of the interior makes me think of him. Again, welcome to the forum. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy you'll have a piece of your dad with you.

Greetings Charger owners and fans,
I just got ownership of a 1969 Dodge Charger with a 383.
My dad bought this car in 1982-3 in Minnesota. He bought it from a lady who was the only other owner of the car. He picked it up for a good price, tuned it up, and turned it into our family vehicle.
I can remember sitting in the back seat as we drove to get groceries. I would beg him to drive through the ditches—and he would! Dad painted the car orange around '84 or so and did some more work to the motor. For a while, he had the General Lee decals on the car.
As you can imagine, the car has always had a special place in my heart/mind. Dad held onto it for all these years, through his moves to different states and through life challenges. It hasn't run since the mid-90s after too some general troublemaking that I won't get into.
Through the years, our hope was to restore it together with my (future) children. Alas, Dad died this summer of a stroke. Our dream won't be fulfilled together, but I'll work on it, and slowly I'll get it roadworthy again—hopefully with some kiddos of my own.
First pic is Dad with the Charger years and years ago, right after he painted it from green to orange.
Second pic is the Charger after I brought it home (my nieces were really impressed).
hello & welcome FD :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
sorry to hear about your Dad ...
Sneak preview of a track day we just had on the weekend, I will start a thread for it separately once I have all the videos uploaded. The big ole' Dodge did surprisingly well and I scored a trophy for my troubles, plus the club did this pic for me!!

hello & welcome ILMC :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: whats the plan for the for the charger ...stock type resto or .... are they both your chargers ?
Here's ours...
Few pics from a recent "muscle-car only" track event at Barbagallo Raceway in Perth. Was fairly hungover all day so didn't get much in the way of video unfortunately but the Charger ran super strong all day! Stock brakes really struggled though, this track has 2 long straights and I was literally backing off halfway down each one to start pumping the brakes.

This is my ALL NUMBERS MATCHING 1969 CHARGER R/T 440 4-Speed Track Pak car.
The pic is my Charger getting delivered from Arkansas to Lockport, Manitoba, Canada.
It is R6 Red top & Bottom (no vinyl roof) with a White R/T Stripe and Black Console with buckets Interior.
It is all original and unmolested. Just needs time and money to give it the restoration it deserves.
Great site guys... keep up the good work!

Why in the hell did they strap the car down like that? Looks like it would bend the roof.
Well not my car but what makes it tick!!!
Out for a cruise tonight, stopped for a picture.
Here is a photo of my 69 Charger. I am a photographer by occupation so I always copyright all my photos. Anyway, this is my car. It is an original 69 Charger with an original 383 HP motor and Automatic Transmission. It is an older restoration but runs and sounds good. It is a light B3 blue with original black vinyl top but I like the white better. It has a nice blue interior. It is an AC car but it is not working. I need an AC/ Heater box for it. Anyway, I love this car. This is my very first post on this site. Hope the post and the photo make it up here ok.
I love this site too. I have learned so much that has helped me with my car. Thanks to all who post and all the administrators that keep this site going!!!
Car looks good! :2thumbs: I have a factory A/C box that is complete I would sell (I bought the Vintage A/C kit). I am located in Alabama, I don't think you would want to ship this thing due to the weight.
nice chargers guys :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:

What's the color code for your '68 JamieZ?
Thanks! Man I wish that was a factory color in 1969 :P
That looks closer to B5 blue. Awesome color!
Instagram post from my restoration shop. Though small, figured we could use a Halloween photo
My 1970 before it went in for bodywork and paint. Was, and will be again, black with gator roof.

Awesome. What have you done to the suspension to get it to sit like that? I really dig that stance.
Thank you.
Lowered the front a bit using the torsion bars. It has new shocks all around and new leafs. The new leafs made the rear sit too high so I put in 1.5" lowering blocks. I forget what size tires, but the rears are bigger.
This was before the lowering blocks were put in...

Hi! Got to make it roadworthy again, now goes bodywork. Happy Holidays!
Old pic I found of (one of) my dad's old 70 Chargers. This was circa early 90's.
Cool...I'm pricing an air brush guy for blue flames right now...watch this space people!
Weiand six pack intake, think i need a scoop ;)
I recently inherited this fine machine from my step-dad. The first time I saw it was in 1969 when some dude came to our house to take my mom out on a date. I thought, "who is this bozo?" Then thought..."but holy smokes look at that car!" It was stored in his garage and hasn't run since 1983. After 46 years of marriage my mom and step dad both passed this last year. I've got a couple knowledgeable guys at work that are helping me create a check-list of things to do before I start it up. It is a 383 2 barrel with automatic shifter on the steering column. I'm very glad this site exists. Thanks all....

That car looks great! Burgundy on white, love it.
awesome chargers guys :yesnod: :drool5: , keep the pictures coming :yesnod: :cheers: :popcrn:
Thanks for the welcome everyone! I have been looking through old posts and been trying to take it all in. Luckily I'm not in a hurry, but on the other hand it will be really sweet to hear that thing start up and run again. Here is another pic. The rims and tires are obviously new....the old tires had rotted and the car had been sitting on the old rims with blankets on top of it in the garage since 1983.

Thought I should take a couple minutes to say HOWDY. I owned a brand new "Triple Black" 1974 SE Brougham and loved it! Sold it four years later (long story) and regretted it every since. A few years ago I began looking for a suitable driver restoration candidate. Finally found one I didn't have to take a second mortgage on the house to afford. This one spent it's life in Las Vegas area so it's really pretty rust free. Has some dings and the interior is shot. Will be a couple year project I expect. Here are a couple photos. If I do it correctly the first is what it looked like a month ago when I brought it home. The second is where I hope to have it in two years... :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:
OH, the RV PARKING sign is still appropriate. This is my recreation for a very long time......
Nice!

:coolgleamA: :2thumbs: :popcrn:

Thanks again. Originally, it had a Leaning Tower of Power with column auto, no buddy seat, and was converted to a 440/727 still on the column two owners before me. I came *this* close to returning it to original, but instead I had a Passon "Hemi" overdrive 4 speed installed.

Not sure if these pictures will come thru.

Your car's stance is awesome Draco.
What are the specs of your suspension? It looks like you autocross it? Awesome.
It has a mix of Hotchkis , QA1 and PST. Hotchkis rear springs and upper control arms. QA1 lower arms and double adjustable shocks. PST sway bars front and back with 1.05 torsion bars.

Hi guys, I'm a poor college student who just purchased his first major car project a few months ago: a 318/904 Charger! Progress will be slow (cause of school) but I have long term goals for this car: a 440 and an A833. For now the goal is to get it back on the streets by its fiftieth birthday. It needs floorpans, trunk floor, and bodywork. The one picture was taken when I couldn't resist putting my Ford Explorer tires on the rear to see how they fit. The plastic wrap and rhino ramps were a temporary solution to protect the interior, there is no rear window.
Welcome to the forum Rich, and congrats on buying your project. Hope it goes well for you. :cheers:

Hi Everyone! I am new to the forum and this is my first time posting. I own a 1968 Dodge Charger in triple black that my dad and I helped restore in high school as a father-son project. She is an orginal 383 2-barrel car that now has a 4 barrel intake and carb and a host of other modifications. Nice to be part of the group!

Looks like there's a green '69 in the garage with something on the trunk............ is that just a towel rack to hang your shop rags on when you're done working on the '68?

IMO, You NAILED the Steelies/Dog Dishes and Tires, they look GREAT :2thumbs:
Mind if I ask the tire/wheel sizes and offsets ?
Thank you very much :icon_smile_big: The wheels are 15x7s in the front and 15x8s in the rear. The tires on the rear are 295/50 and the front are 235/60. The rears have 4 inch backspacing. The front has the standard offset.

Here is a photo of my 69 Charger. I am a photographer by occupation so I always copyright all my photos. Anyway, this is my car. It is an original 69 Charger with an original 383 HP motor and Automatic Transmission. It is an older restoration but runs and sounds good. It is a light B3 blue with original black vinyl top but I like the white better. It has a nice blue interior. It is an AC car but it is not working. I need an AC/ Heater box for it. Anyway, I love this car. This is my very first post on this site. Hope the post and the photo make it up here ok.
I love this site too. I have learned so much that has helped me with my car. Thanks to all who post and all the administrators that keep this site going!!!
Welcome! It will be good to see more of your pics!
Love the look of those black Chargers with the white birch in the background. Nice!
have one 66 charger leaving to day kind of sad ,going to a good home though . but that means the other one comes out of hibernation
the yellow one is staying for now replace sheet metal on rear ,put new rear end , paint . drive for a while .red one is moving to barrie sad to see it go ,wifes not .
oh ya after over a year of being a member I posted my first pic that I took .I think I am happier about that than selling the car

Looks Clean and Crisp! Nice engine bay. :icon_smile_cool:
Was almost 80 here yesterday so I was able to take it out for a spin.
My 2 year old son discovered that '68 taillights were a good place to store rocks. Another reason '68s are the best... :smilielol:

Pointing toward the driveway that isn't there yet, for the house that isn't there yet, either.
hanging out together
Here's some pictures of my 68 R/T originally from the Oregon which has taken 2 years to complete
And before..... car was originally Yellow with Black tailstripes ;)
Looks awesome mate, nice work.
How difficult was it to change out that quarter?
That's the biggest job , and panel , I've ever tackled ,apart from the trunk floor . I Cut the old one off in 15 minutes ,that's the easy bit , cleaning up all the old welds time consuming then lots of adjusting with the trunk lid , rear screen aperture , roof and I left the door on as it had never ever been removed , my car has original rockers . The factory pop rivetted the quarter to the sail fairing and then lead loaded it ! I have welded it on . The panel is very heavy and flops around so lots of clamps and self tappers to accurately place it before any welding . Took probably 12 hours in all .....not an easy task . I bought the panel from Classic Industries , the quality and fit was extremely good .
the lower quarters came with my car had no names on them . I see why I would not admit it if I made them . I had to cut them in pieces and they don't have proper lip around wheels the two body line missed by half an inch . never done this before so I thought I have quarters I'm good .now I am trying to decide weather to bondo in lip

I heard that AMD is the best choice for mopar. I've read that they are great fitting pieces but some do have the occasional short comings
The rear quarter was classic Industries " restorers choice " and the lower rear section on the passenger side is an AMD section which I purchased after welding on a very poor repair section bought on eBay which did not have the lower body sharp swage line behind the wheel / opening pressed into it at all (it was more curved not a sharp line )and the wheel arch curve was poor too . After much shaping including test fitting the stainless wheel arch trim numerous times , I cut off the repair section and welded in the AMD section . £300 of wasted money , shipping, import duty and 2 weeks further waiting ! The AMD panel is nicely made and fitted reasonably well .
Moral of the story don't buy cheap parts ( especially when they are at least 4000 miles away ) you get what you pay for ::) ::)
Slumbers, you get extra kudos for not living in the US. I can imagine how difficult and/or expensive resources are to come by. Not to mention the wait time.

Thanks ! Expensive .....yep . I restored a 65 Mustang coupe about 8 years ago which is easier for parts from one source . There doesn't seem to be too many suppliers for these cars for panels and trim parts, so it gets costly on shipping ,if you preplan ahead well enough you can buy in bulk but sometimes you just need the one part you had'nt thought of . Then there's the duty to the tax man ....hate paying that rip off......and minimum shipping time usually 10 days. Best shippers are Summit Racing ordered on a Sunday evening arrived Friday morning !! The internet and this and other forums has been so helpful , considering when the car arrived it had an engine block on 2 blocks of 2x2 in the bay , pair of heads attached with 2 bolts each , no ancillaries , mounts, radiator, driveshaft etc and the transmission in the trunk !! A very daunting prospect ......I bought it in November 2014 for $12500 and total cost has been approx $43000 incl purchase price ,shipping etc . The parts being the bulk of the cost , my labour free !
Not sure I could have bought a full restored car even then for that money ? Been waiting 59 years to drive one of these , I'm just waiting for my English Registration documents to arrive, I have only driven it 1 mile at 30 mph to be tested at my local garage so my local quiet town is in for a shock when I go test it out :2thumbs:

Had some friends over last night and one of them brought his 70 Swinger. The Dart has a stout 360 in it with Eddy heads and 4:10 gears, runs very strong. On the way to eat he got a little over excited in his 1 -2 shift from a stop light and managed to shake the bolts loose on the pinion snubber causing it to hit the u joint as it spun around. Made a hell of a racket but we were able to limp it back to my house where I had the pleasure of fixing it in the dark. :brickwall:

Anyway those are Cragar S/S 612P. 17x8 front, 18x9.5 rears. Took awhile to get them but I like'em. They're not showing up in the online Cragar catalog anymore... :icon_smile_blackeye:
Ok...based on excellent advice I got here, I had a 4 barrel intake manifold and carb put on my 68 383. It is the second thing I have had done that I paid a professional to do. I'm proud of how far I got on my own with mentoring from here and from my buddy from work but I felt it was time to give this car some professional attention. I Love It!!! Here is a short video I did this afternoon...by request of a childhood friend who has known this car almost as long as I have...we used to hang out at my stepdads gas station and dream about driving this car....that was a long long long time ago. Anyway here it is...

We are along the Ravine right in the middle..I could see your car from where we were...I was along the track edge both days
I keep meaning to make the drive up the river to Sarnia for the must have fries beneath the bridge before the summer is shot. Its going quicly but if I do run the car up there I'll try and give you a heads up. Meet fro a beer or something.
I went to a local cruise in a couple of weeks ago, and met some cool guys who run a local group.
One of the guys took some close up shots. These are neat. Kind of makes me want to get into photography.

Anyway, I wanted to play with a camera today, and wound up with a couple of decent shots out of what felt like a million. Photography is hard. But the natural sunlight looks great on Top Bananna paint.
I took what would have been some decent shots from a lower angles, but in my rush to capture the perfect natural lighting, I didn't see the big light pole in the background, ruining those shots. Whoops.
Nice! :cheers:

Very nice......but sort that door alignment out!!!
I appreciate it guys!
And yeah, Alfa, that door alignments is annoying. It's on my list. Always more work to do with 50 year old vehicles.

Fred, can you de-code your license plate for us? :scratchchin:
We have a pool going on what it means. I bet on .... Her Majesty Is My Sister's Lover.
:smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
I'm going to use that next time someone asks me what it means...................and I get asked a lot!
Me too. I cracked up. :D
No really what's the de-code.
SERIOUSLY?? :scratchchin: or are you just pulling my leg?
Seriously. I assume it's a custom plate, aka vanity plate. And I don't know what the message is.
If it's just random letters that the state picked, well then never mind. :-\
I'll check in tomorrow. It's late, got to go.
HEMI MUSCLE
It's a custom plate Dan but we're only allowed 6 letters so I had to improvise.
And if you could read like a first grader you would have got it in one :rofl:
I know what it means lol
:2thumbs:
We're good at guessing plates over here. Sometimes it takes a bit of imagine but we generally get there in the end.
Got it now. Thanks. :2thumbs:
Ass end about finished.
Front- not so much.
I like it. A lot :drool5: :cheers:
It's getting colder up here in MA so taking it out as many times as possible before the snow starts!

Thanks Clark. I basically left the car in pieces for the last year and a half and barely touched it so I need to finish up a few things on it. But it is running smooth now. I've got a couple things planned, still have a set of ported sidewinder heads I haven't installed, power windows, projector LED headlights, and to fix a few wiring issues with the new harness that I never finished up.

My Charger is still trapped in my (tiny) UK garage after 13 long years, so this is the best pic I have.
Hopefully I will have her up on the rotisserie in the New Year and work can (re) begin lol... :pity:
A crazy Charger guy came round one day to help me fix a diff for him and it went badly due to its rustiness, in his desperation he wanted to use my bench vice next to to rear of my car.
He precariously mounted the diff in the small vice and tried to remove the yoke nut, alas it flew outta the vice straight on to the rear quarter and trunk lid of my pride and joy! :eek2:
He never even said sorry and just carried on like nothing had happened... :slap:
The rear quarter was so badly damaged I had to replace it, very tricky when you have a window plug fitted... ::) ::) ::)
He is deffo 'OFF' my Christmas card list, FOREVER... :RantExplode:

my 69 charger as bought (a few years ago) it was my nephews. I went with him to buy it in around 1998. He was tragically killed in a car accident Nov 1st 1999. The car sat for at least 13 years before i talked my sister into sellilng it to me. This is where it started out.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Welcome. How does the car look nowadays?
Fitz73Crgr,
its getting better. I have not had the funds to completely restore it. As you guys know every piece of sheet metal on a mopar is $500-$700 but i did get some primer on it and a coat of paint to protect it from farther decay.
Currently has these aluminum wheels, orange paint, and new tires and it runs and drives. I am working on it little by little tho.
i just recently added a new master cylinder, and ordered a new windshield and window rubber for it. It is suppose to be installed tomorrow if the body shop has time to do it. I normally always keep it under a car cover but just recently my cover had gotten damaged (therefore the reason i ordered the windshield).

Harper,
Thanks, I was fortunate to find a glass hood, so I didn't have to cut up the original. Wasn't sure which one I wanted to use, but when I dropped the motor in with Torker 2 intake it was apparent only the glass hood would fit.
The wife had an artist from Canada do a pencil drawing of the Charger and me. Thought he did a nice job.
A little different angle.

From one of the last times I had mine out for a cruise last fall. Almost that time to bust it out again for this year soon if the weather keeps holding off.
Nice ride
Like the Gold.
Yep, I think it's a Keeper !
I'm pretty darn impressed and need to brag.... but you know it's a pretty damn good 49 year old Car ! when after sitting 5 months in an unheated garage all winter, and it's still 20*F outside ?
* you can just crank it for 10 seconds to get the fuel back up into the Carburetor....
* then pump the gas pedal 6 times to squirt some fuel and set the Choke ....
* then crank it again for 2-3 seconds and it fires right up from it's winter hibernation !
I didn't even have to charge the Battery, NO complaints, NO tics or noises, No smoke, just purrr'd on the high idle 10 minutes until warmed, kick it down to idle and away it goes all happy, still sporting last summer's bug splatter all over the windshield.
Something to be said for the reliability of the old factory original equipment, in an UN-rebuilt original #'s 440 Magnum, original Single Point Ignition/Carb, yada, yada, and that it all still works just ducky 50 years later ?
It even warmed up to 40*F in the afternoon sun so I snapped a few Pics, nonetheless, still crap all over the roads so no driving yet.

Welcome that's what my build was as well, Pro-touring. Love the modern handling, overdrive and A/C.
Nice wall art in that garage David. That looks pretty cool. :2thumbs:

Few pics of my just (almost) finished '68. Debuted on a big car show here in Norway this weekend, won three trophys.

Great job looks fantastic. Are you willing to share Wheel and Tire size and rear suspension setup? There may be one to ad to here called "Everyones Dilema" I think. I like seeing what others are doing to get the stance correct.
Put together this video of driving around in my '68 over the weekend. https://youtu.be/PNrqiJzjRN0

Hi All, I bought my 68 charger 3 years ago and apart from the motor I did all the restoration work myself. I completely stripped her down to the shell and then slowly built her up again. I enjoyed every minute of it, including the scratches and countless bumps to the head.(my wife had started to insist I wear a helmet.........out of the question of course) And for the past year I've just been enjoying the pleasure of hearing that Hemi come to life every time I turn the key to take her out for a spin. There is nothing better on this earth! Check out the before and after photos to see what can be achieved with a lot of love and patience (not to mention a pocket full of money) Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics with you. ENJOY Fred
Is yours a real R/T or a tribute?
A tribute.
Wow, that's the first time I've seen any real pictures of Freds car.
Very nice !!!
:2thumbs:
I will enjoy my car one day, just need some deeper pockets to finish it.
:2thumbs:
Things have changed a little under the bonnet since those pics were first taken........
Here is my work in progress, first time it has been outside in probably 4+ years. Still plenty of work to do and work that I'd like to do but I need to get my feet back on the ground again first :icon_smile_blackeye: These last couple of weeks getting it ready for the journey has reignited the fire to finish the car, but hopefully it doesn't just sit for many more years....
Looks good :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :2thumbs:

Then around 1992 the Charger was stolen and this is how I got it back.
I will start a build thread soon. I have been looking at this forum for years and decided it was time to join.

Took ownership of this Charger this summer, which I didn't plan to happen for several more years. My wife overheard conversation between a friend and I about it and that night tells me, "so tell me about this charger for sale". She knows its the car I have always wanted. Took my buddy who owns Rick's Hot Rods in Colorado Springs to help me determine if this was the one and it was more than what I anticipated! Let the fun begin.
Congrats! Looks like a nice starting point!

I believe I need to have a serious chat with them. The picture in their web catalog IS my car. They did not even obscure the license plate. Could this be trade mark infringement? Maybe a complimentary diecast?
Current pic of mine with it's new garage mate.
I am prepared for an 80s movie car chase at any time now, lol.
Nice Charger! What's the story behind the white Firebird keeping your yellow 70 company? I had a 94 1/2 Trans Am, it was the 25th Anniversary edition, T-Tops, 5 speed, it was a fun little Fire Chicken to drive up Mt. Charleston when I was stationed in Las Vegas. Traded the TA in on a 93 Ramcharger :2thumbs: Miss that Ramcharger!

Anniversary edition T/A, nice!
The firebird is a 92 Trans Am GTA. I've been looking for one for years, and noticed theyve hit the age where clean ones have become hard to find, and are starting to appreciate. Not to the extreme that Fox Mustangs have recently, but they're on the way. I found this and bought it this month.
This one is a hardtop 5.7 L98/auto. The final year for the third gen. Only 226 GTAs were built in the last year, and only 33 of those were white. So it was a really hard one to find. It has the bonus of being already fitted with Baer 14 inch brakes, subdrame connectors, square 18x10s, Magnaflow catback, and some other stuff. Also it's never been through the usual neglectful owners these cars seem to fall into. It's got a squeaky clean history.
It took me forever to find it, but I love this thing. I'll make a build thread in the car guy's discussion board one day.
Here's mine....slow but doin it.

Looks awesome! You could always put red lines on the et streets
Thanks! Yes, already thinking about adding the red lines on the next set of tires :thumbs:
Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but what size wheels and tires are you using in that picture? I agree, the look and the stance is just about perfect, in my opinion. Understated, yet aggressive at the same time.
Thanks!
Hey Wasco,
that would be two Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S P275/60R15 on the rear and two Goodride Radial 215/70R15 (just a basic summer tyre really) on the front axle. Wouldn't recommend too many burnouts with the semis though :icon_smile_big:

The Duster is coming along slowly but its getting there. I just built a new 8 3/4 rear that I'm about to install and get some proper fitting wheels on it.

It now has been improved with an Accuair (from ridetech) controller to meet Aust Design rules.
The doors now have button door locks to also meet ADR requirements....

Welcome troy, both TPR and I both own 68s here in Australia, awesome to see another classic charger make its way here.
I bought my 68 in from the USA last year, what was so headache about bringing yours in ? What changes did you have to make to your charger to get it complied?
How was your process in buying and obtaning the 70 and then bringing it over here.
Nice car Troy good to see another 70 over here.

Engine out time! Need to replace floors, address some holes in the firewall and fix some core support damage.
I like the lighting in that photo funknut, good luck with the rest of the project.

Just changed new tires and after that some night cruising :cheers: This year I´ve owned this Charger already 10 years :2thumbs:

Nice! :2thumbs:
Beautiful. That was my colors of my first car in 1973.
Some engine bay work.....yes , the alignment bolts are backwards...I know this!!
Here is a picture of my 1970 Charger R/T. I have had her for almost 20 years. Sadly we will soon be parting ways.
Cool! DixieCo hood tach? :2thumbs: Sorry to hear you are parting ways!
Beautiful car. Sorry to hear that the parting is "sadly".
I got the hood tach in the nineties from Jerry Crowley a Mopar guy in Oregon who had some bits and pieces for Mopars. I have a hand written letter from him that claims it was a dealer option. But that is just his opinion. When I got the car there was this hole in the hood and after some thinking I decided that it must be for a tach. I had only seen them on some old Pontiacs. '
I am glad you like the car. It has provided me with many challenges and now it is time to sell her.
Thanks for the complement on my Charger Ghoste. I have had a lot of fun with it. I guess I shouldn't have said "sadly" in my post. It is just time to move on. I am getting old and I am running out of ideas on what to do with her. So she is going up for sale.
I recall the hood tach offered, it should have "MOPAR" or a pentagram on the face? :scratchchin: Very popular back then for any car or truck. List the car here and over at For B Bodys Only forum. (FBBO)
This one from the Hustle stuff catalog?
I don't think I've seen the factory box before. Cool.
My 69 440..I've just purchased and my first ever Charger :boogie:
Congratulations. Nice car and welcome to Club 69.
Let the fun begin! :cheers:
Thanks..I have been after one for a very Long time..I'm going to get it ready for next summer :laugh:
I have always loved how they look long and different from the cars of today. Nice car, Enjoy!
WELCOME to the forum At least you'll get yours on the road before me But really enjoy and drive safely
She's not the best looking but god damnit she's mine.

A lot of heads cranked around when I did not stop :icon_smile_big:

Hey Ray both of your cars are side by side again :yesnod:

Sadly not yet. I'm hoping to pull them out in December and get them installed. I'm getting tired of seeing them just sitting around. :lol:
Can't wait to see how the pro flo kit works out. I almost pulled the trigger on it as well.
Look inside the cooling passages of the Sidewinders, I found a bit of "flash" inside there. I zipped it out with a Dremel and smoothed a few areas. :2thumbs: Your gonna like them!

Looks good as it sits, drive it now before tearing into it. You'll thank me later.
Example: This is my '68 the day I bought it. It was driven to my house for delivery. Yes it needed some mechanical work to make it a safe driving vehicle, BUT I didn't do that. Instead I started to tear into it and didn't get to enjoy my Charger right off the bat.
:cheers:
EDIT: Oops, I re-read your reply that stated that this was back in 2017.
Agreed drive em first,However this car was purchased back in 1995 then as many in our world of passionate mopar enthusiasts we hold on to them for that some day I will bring it back to its former glory,then life happens.
Fast Forward 22 years(I know :shruggy:) and after 3 garage storage areas,that time came on 10/17.
This is the start,

The red one is an automatic with 38,500 miles. Mostly all original paint, everything else is original.
The green one is an automatic with a/c; 59,000 miles, restored.
The bronze one is a 4-speed with 91,000 miles. 1/2 original paint.
It's been a while since I've been on this board. The car has gone through some changes.

Original sheet metal and paint
Here's my '68 project. It started out as a 318 3 on the tree car. It spent most of its life in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. 20 years ago, this would have been nothing but a parts car. But Chargers are getting very hard to find and expensive these days so I thought it was worth the time and effort to bring it back. I bought it in 2016 for $3,000. The first picture is how I found the car. It was in a pretty bad way. It needed the driver's side quarter replaced, which I did myself. The rest of the car was really solid. The frame rails, floor board and trunk pan were all in good shape. I was able to find a few of the sheet metal pieces locally that it needed. I couldn't afford a true 440 4 speed R/T so I cloned this into one. The engine is a .040 440 with six pack pistons, cam and stock heads that I rebuilt. It runs and sounds how a 440 should. The 4 speed is out of a '69 road runner. The rear is a 3:90 8 3/4 sure grip. The car isn't perfect and does still need some work. However, it is a good running and driving Charger that I don't have a lot of money tied up in.

Wow quick work,I'm glad to see it as a car rather then for parts.besides I like the fact that you can do what you choose rather then being limited with a #'s matching. :yesnod:

I put everything back together and started the car this evening, it is really enjoyable.

Just keeping up with the times
Hi All, well, I finally got another Charger again after over 5 years since I sold my old black 68 R/T and was on here posting a bit.
There's been a few life changes and overseas travel in that time, but happy to be back in a cool ride again.
This one is a 1974, 318, 904 and complete with a 2bbl carb and the old heat riser manifold for the choke.
It's pretty original, only 65,000 miles on it and was parked up for 30 years in dry storage here in New Zealand after the original owner imported it , drove it, then went back to the States in 1979 after 3 years here.
Originally white vinyl top ( 2nd owner painted it black) and white accent stripe ( now black tape), even has the stock rims and hubcaps too, currently with SS Cragars on it now. Probably will put a set of 8's and 10's x 16 D Windows on it eventually and a red tape stripe over the white one and just cruise into the summer. I need to install a file reducer program to load pics here.... :brickwall: and will put a few pics up.

Nice! How are you liking it? ^
I took the car for a drive this morning and then thought I would take a picture to post. When I got out the camera I saw the reflections we often see with our cars and that I like so much.
So I took 3 pictures instead of one.
Love the green. Nice and shiny! :2thumbs:
Well it finally happened this summer ( or what is left of this driving season )
I saw another second gen Charger when I was out with my car
Took my car to get a burger for lunch then decided to come up the main street of town
I saw this parked on the side of the road and had to turn around and come back for a quick picture :2thumbs:
Yes I am in a wheel chair spot but did not turn my car off so not really parked
The blue car was a 69 with R/T in the grill
I took a quick look to see if it was a standard but was an auto with console and black and white seats
So if this was your car get in touch :2thumbs:

Hmm, you don't see too many with black vinyl top and white interior, I like it.
If there is a vinyl top it is usually white/white or black/black.
Car was originally gold with a black interior. I did the color and interior change on a nice straight body.
That's what I chose black top white interior/331 brite red nice look :2thumbs:
Agreed! :2thumbs:
if only I could..... I tried and tried I guess I will just be happy looking at other people's beautiful rides

Posting a pic on this site is tough......
Not tough. Down right sucks.
Yep, it does suck. Just tried and I can't. I haven't been on this site in quite some time. I have an orange 69 with white interior and a white vinyl top. The 440 just gave up its last ghost. When stripped found that there were 2 eroded pistons and 1 that a piece had broken off. It rattled around in there and the spark plug was damaged. 2 cylinders were scored so I went and bought an old engine for 250$ and bought a 512 stroker kit from 440 source. Rebuild will begin in a few weeks.

Yes, we need a updated version. I know of tiny sites that you can post a picture, as easy as ebay. Not here though.
Couple recent ones from today before the rain started. :cheers:

Congrats on the Charger. We've had our '68 since 1998. I also have an '03 Mustang GT that I've owned since '05. I've spent plenty of time on Corral and SVT performance and remember watching your build threads over the years.

Ha! Small world! Yeah I really love this car. Been looking for one for a few years now and actually sold my 2003 Cobra to finance the purchase. I had planned to find a car like this a do a lot of "crazy" stuff to it like all my other builds, but this one is so nice and original, that I decided against that.

Thanks I appreciate the compliment. While green with white wouldn't have been my first choice, it has definitely grown on me and I like it now.
LOL! Being older now (49) I can appreciate what this car is and not feel like I have to change everything about it to personalize it like all my other projects!
Prior to buying this car I had wanted to drop in a updated/hot engine combo but now I think I am going to leave the Hi-Po 318 (haha) in there and just keep it a cruiser.
I've put my car on here before. Here it is again!!!
This thing just got built to drop in her. 512 stroker.

Hey y'll - just got it yesterday!
Been a while since I've been on the board, here's the latest in a long trail of Mopars I've had over the years. 74 SE Brougham, 400 Magnum, 4 speed, second owner.
Couple pics from this weekend.
Let the wife drive the Charger for the first time this weekend and snapped this pic outside a restaurant we ate at.
Also about to get my new garage finished so snapped a pic with the Charger in it beside my Pontiac G8.

Click Resize
Select Pixels
Type 800 in Horizontal box
Width box will auto populate a different number (that's cool)
Click OK
You should be good :cheers:

The trick is to find clean backgrounds and the right sun exposure. I know buds that are way better mechanics than me but can't take a pic without crap (neighbors car, trash cans, utility poles, etc) in the background. I drive around to find locations. Look at car mags, notice high and low angles that the cars are shot at. Have fun with close ups and angles. :2thumbs:
Sometimes I use the Charger as a starting point to shoot another vehicle....not the neighbors utilities and a white van in the background. i did not do good on that one! Lol

Here is an update on my 68 restomod.
Have put 6000 miles on the build so far and super happy!
The new Hemi and Tremec 6-speed together with a 3:91 final gear gives me plenty of performance and 23mpg on average.

Very happy with that selection.

That is certainly a unique car. Very cool :drool5:
Of course, I am biased having owned a 74 Rallye U code in Y for a couple decades.

I like it. But I might be biased on the color and year! Haha!
Yep dark racing green and 68 oh the memories! My cousin had one and we tore up the country side in it. He has been gone for years but I still remember those days. That is why I have it painted in this color.

, would love to see & hear more about your charger sometime
NOTE: I tried to send this a couple days ago, with attached photos, but it never has showed up. This is without photos, so I hope it sends.
MyCharger story:
In September 1968, I had just started my first job out of college in another state. My wife and I were afraid the previously-owned '62 Ford Fairlane we were driving was going to quit on us at any time, so the first order of business was to buy a new car. We both very much liked the '68 Charger, but couldn't buy a new '68 late in the year so we "settled" (as we thought then) for a new '69. Went down to the dealer, Tait's Huntsville Dodge, Huntsville, Alabama, and collected their brochures. She only cared about the color and chose F3 Light Green Metallic. Being thoroughly tired of driving 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder cars with three on the tree or automatic, I went for the 383 high-performance engine, 4-speed, and black vinyl bucket seats. We had saved up a good down payment and I thought I had made arrangements with our credit union to finance it.
I checked the dealer's lot every day for two weeks. According to the salesman, a strike at the transmission assembly plant might hold up delivery. Sometime during this two weeks, the salesman called and invited me down to look at another Charger that he said was pretty much like the one I ordered. Right. It was dark blue, had a vinyl top (which I specifically did NOT order, imagining how it would look a few years down the road after baking in the sun). He also pointed out that it had a console and a neat dogleg shifter. "I ordered those, too!" "No, you didn't." I discovered that it was true, I had not ordered those although I had intended to. Finally, I spotted "our Charger" on the lot on a Sunday when the dealership was closed. On Monday, I found out that the credit union had done NOTHING about the loan and were asking for a co-signer (no credit history at that point). That wasn't gonna happen, so I went crying to the salesman at the dealer. He said, "No problem. We'll finance it through Chrysler Credit Corp." and they did. First payment came due, and we made FIVE. Even so, we made the final payment three years later when it was due. We took delivery on 5 February 1969. The odometer read 00018.
In May 1971, it was used by an old geezer as a convenient way to stop when his old Chevy's gas pedal stuck, then repaired by the dealer where we bought it. It looked fine for 25 years, but then the Bondo started to crack. When I dug into it, I found the dealer repair had been done very crudely and amateurishly. I took it off the road in 1996 to do the necessary body work myself, but ran into some issues and got diverted by restoration of a 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III, and then a 1973 MG Midget so the Charger languished in the garage. Recently, my wife pointed out that since both of us will turn 76 next month, if we didn't do something soon with the Charger we'd never see it on the road again. She's right, of course, so I pulled the engine (178,283 miles) and sent it for rebuild. Meanwhile, i arranged for a professional classic restoration shop to pick up the car for doing the bodywork right and painting.
The Charger has taken us to the top of Pikes Peak, in 1973, and to Mexico City, in 1975. It moved with us to eastern North Carolina in 1979 and remains here today. I have maintained a detailed maintenance and trip logbook for the car from Day One, illustrated with photographs. It currently runs to 134 pages of a Word document.

Great backstory BJ8, quite some history and great roadtrips - Thanks for sharing :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:
What is the super-duper secret password that will make attached photos show up? I attach 'em, hit the PREVIEW button or type Alt+P, but nothing happens. I'm told that "Tan Top" can attach them, but then I have to send all photos to him first? That can't be the way this works....

You have to make photos smaller than 400KB and you have to rename them a name that no one else has posted with before or it will think it is already posted someplace and not post it again
I always just name them tire or car or what ever the picture is then add the current date to the name and it usually works as a new combination that has not been used before
Thanks for the info, 70 Sublime.
The photos I was trying to post were all less than 400 kb. That second restriction seems silly. With all the people who post here, there is bound to be someone else who has posted a photo labeled with a reasonably descriptive title, and not a name made up of gibberish. That rule is a time-waster.
I will just forget about photos.
You have to understand the name is used to locate each pic. inside this program. If you want you can just add ABC or 123 after or before to numerate multiple similar named pics. Camera resolution set at 1MEG post fine. I bought a 15.00 1MEG camera at Big Lots a few years ago and use it here. :2thumbs:
Stopped for an evening walk the other night in town and looked back at where my car was parked and thought it was a neat picture with the lights

For years I owned a '73 that I inherited from my grandmother in the early 90's. It need a lot of work so I sold it a few years back with the hope that I would one day replace it with my preferred era, a gen 2. Well, finally did it. I purchased a 69 Charger RT in September from the second owner outside Kansas City and trailered it back to my home town of Denver. Needs some work, but couldn't be happier!
Congratulations! Good luck to you with it. :cheers:
