What single word would YOU use to describe a 1969 Charger 500? :2thumbs:
Pioneer
:shruggy:
Besides 'expensive'?
How about "underperforming"?
They didn't sell well and they didn't acomplish what they were supposed to on the track.
slick :mcride:
"Ugly"
Sorry, no offense meant. :lol:
I know all about what the car is & what it means to a lot of people, but all the things that made the 2nd generation Charger a great looking car & stand out from the rest of the Dodge line up, was removed for the 500.
Rare
Diarea
Plug or flush :flush:
How about "Eliminator". Too mercury ish.
"Cheater" the rest of the type could be about the aerodynamics.
Make sure you post that ad when your done.
1 - 1.5 - 2 word suggestions :lol:
Aerodynamic
Drafter
Windsplitter
Arrow
Spike
Bullet
Bullet-Nose
FMJ
Aero-Spike
Aero-Charger
Aero-Drafter
Slip-Stream
AeroRare
"Slippery"

"What single word"..... :slap:

Cody, as usual,
READ the posts before you reply with your posts of wisdom. :rotz:
If you actually read it you might have noticed the word
"or" inserted
between the words "plug" & "flush" (which by the way weren't the most clever choices for the topic....for that I apologize :-\ )
Look up the word "or" in your junior dictionary......junior.
PS----I will be doing the :slap: thank you
How about svelte or sexy.
torque , solid ,voluptuous,or curvaceous
Perfect.
C500
FORMULA 500
Metal.
:METAL:
Fast-top. (okay so it's two, but it is pronounced like one and it's the one Dodge used)
coronet :scratchchin:
Block !!!!! The car is as Aero as a Cinder -Block !!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite one word comments for our 69 Charger has always been B1tchin' and since I am not sure about your profanity filters here I will edit slightly.... It seems appropriate for a 500 :angel:
And a word that comes to mind from a little boy at a car show dragging his daddy down the row of cars to the Daytona
Racecar daddy, racecar.
I think "SLICK" is the winner. "SLIPPERY" is runner up.
I believe 'Ol slippery" was used by Bobby Issacs to describe the Daytona in an ad.
Sorry, no prize! But there is a preview of the Scat bee....a special "500" version!

Hahahaha ouch!
Since the 500 didn't have hide-away headlamps, shouldn't the 500 scat pack bee loose the shades? :scratchchin: :coolgleamA:

What the heck is that word? Are you trying to spell Diarrhea? If so, what an imagination you have.........
No kidding. I imagine of a lot of descriptions and adjectives when I think of Chargers but runny turds have never come to my mind. :o

:brickwall: The night i came home with my C500 my spouse comes out of the house, looks at the car, looks at me, and and says, "it looks like a big brown turd floating down the road" :-\
At least she thought it was running at the time ;D

I agree, it was the first step in aerodynamics and had a "500" won the Daytona 500 that year there might never have been Winged Cars. If the tire situation on the last pit stop was different it could have changed history. :Twocents:

Cody, How about you wait until it's done being drawn, ....then help yourself!
allmost
wannabee's
notquitefastenough
Overall I like the cars especially the rear glass treatment I think is an i,provment of the standard charger glass but the grille turns me off. never cared for 68 coronets either
How 'bout "DUD"........ I'm kidding of course. :poke: Just messing with Troy-hemi68charger since he's got one and I don't.
how's 'bout "Ballistic"
Everyone that's slagging on the 500 for not being quick enough, imagine if Chrysler had shown enough sense to not trot the car all over the damned place first and give Ford lot's of warning. The 500 was not a failure in the strictest sense, Ford had plenty of time to prepare a counterstrike thanks to marketing. :Twocents:

You can just call me Robin.

It is true that it is the winningest of the aero cars. However that stat is flawed too as it raced in the most races, due to being used on short tracks and superspeedways as well.
BUTT !!!!! AS IN BUTT UGLY !!!!!
Well, I respect your opinion. Personally I find them a lot more attractive than after the giant wing and Jimmy Durante nose cone were grafted on but it's a big hobby and there's room for both.

I thought the only race a 500 ever won was one of the 125 mile qualifiing races???
I don't have the numbers here in front of me, but I think that over the 2 years it was something along the lines of 22 or 23 wins.
Aero yes! But Arrow?? If a bullet then snubnose for sure. That would make 68 & 70s hollow points :icon_smile_big:

Mister controversy strikes again...... The thread asked for one word, not two !!!! You used RELIC and BUTT-UGLY......... You cheated...
Are you sure you're not referring to what you see in the mirror? Just asking... I tell it like I see it, as you would say... You may wanna edit your thread and put a space between the : and the o so you can see the icon_smile_big
Here's some pics of Charger 500's........ Look and weep........

Wish I had one. :icon_smile_big:
I thought "Blue Streak best fit even after reading all the other suggestions :laugh:
