Post by: 69charger2002 on August 04, 2005, 08:11:18 PM
well just in the nick of time i got my car finished today. it's been in there since february, so i went on a charger buying spree while this one was down. hopefully that doesn't happen again.   :yesnod:  the body/paint guys said they felt they were on american chopper with a SEMA deadline.  lol. anyway, here are some pics..

You were thinking if you painted it again you might or probably would turn
your RT back to its original color, I see you went with the general theme again
well maybe next time   ;D.

Yeah and I have seen a few charger's on ebay for sale and geuss who was the seller    :wave: :wave:

lol 8 wheeler.. you know i almost didn't do the dukes theme again. i've about had my fun with it to be honest.. but EVERYONE i know was freaking out and trying to talk me into it(worked obviously)..and yes i have sold one or two on ebay.. lol.. ok maybe 3-4.. but i'm NOT hlpag. if there is rust, i let you SEE IT.. lol. anyway, the car isn't a real R/T, so don't get too upset at me. i do love those R/T badges though

 :eek:   Wow, Trav, nice GL!   So how bout some more info on the car?   What engine is in there?   Does this one have any actual Dukes history to it?    :2thumbs:

Post by: 69charger2002 on August 04, 2005, 08:42:41 PM
no dukes history.. they wanted to lease it but i told them no way.. it is a 383/ 2 barrel car, i still have the original block(spun bearing 3 years ago). so i dropped in a steel crank 440 with 75k on it(headers and intake/carb only mods) it has 70 seats, as i like those buckets better, and i have owned the car for 5 years. thanks for the interest we should start a "hello, my name is joe, let me tell you about my charger" post. that would be cool to read people's stories

Looks great!

Actually, I didn't think it looked bad before...was the paint more of a 20 footer before?

For 40k, I don't think you'd cry over selling it.  :)

The person that bought it would when they decide to sell it after all the hype wears off if they paid that for it!
