Was like 2005 or so some guy had a 2nd Gen and said he'd make it a "Dodgecharger.com forum car" if we all sent him free parts. In return he would drive it to car shows and display it in our collective name. I recall a few people sending him stuff!
A couple of members accused him and his wife of trying to get free parts to build a car, and after that it was all downhill from there. They did get some free parts and did offer to return them. Think her name was Shelley.
I sent him a recently rebuilt 426 Hemi and a 4 speed.
(No I didn't)
The forum car... an early 68 383 4 speed...
Ah! OK so I wasn't imagining it. Kinda thought it was weird deal, no wonder it went away.

Steve and Shelley, right ? they met on the board as far I recall and got together I think
I remember that too. Kind of a bizarre proposal.

Wow quite the scam . . :scratchchin: I'm building a car for a charity (mine) . . please send me money and parts!

I think they had good intentions, but the idea was not a good one.

I remember that. And he had his eye on a really rough shell. So it was offensive on many levels. Not only the Gofundme part, but it needed 10 times the purchase price in parts and labor just to see the road.
