Paint, Body & Trim / 69 Charger Hood Turn Signal Bl...
Last post by 6970Charger - November 24, 2025, 08:39:02 PM
My Charger was a mess, was missing 1 of the hood turn signal blockouts. Got one from a friend that has a 69 Southern US Charger car that he bought 25 years ago, super clean and solid.

It has a gasket that my other one doesn't. Appears its a paper type gasket.

Has anyone else seen something like this? See attached pic.

Thanks

I get bummed out when the temps drop much below 60 here. I'd be a total mess for months where it gets snow! :eek2:

Took the Charger for maybe the last ride until Spring, we had a little bit of snow so that means the stupid town will drop down salt which I don't want all over the car.

Drove it Friday to the Post office and had nice little mini cruise.  It was about 38 degrees when I fired it up in the garage, took a few pumps but with the electric fuel pump, I was able to fill the bowls quickly.

Took maybe 20 seconds until it idled on it's own and this is with the six pack set up with the choke completely removed.

It ran well, even with the cold and the giant six pack scoop. I even got to try the heat for the first time ever in the car, it worked very well, just need to mess around to get more warm air down by my feet but very happy on how it acted like a regular car.

Dropped some Sta-bil in the tank just in case I don't drive it again this year.  Just that 20 min drive put me in such a good mood, man I love this car!

If my memory serves me correctly, in general, there are two colors for Diesel, Natural and Red; the latter is for off road use like farm equipment, diesel generators, etc. No road tax on the red stuff. Get caught with that Red stuff in your running fuel tanks and you are in for a heavy fine. The problem with the red stuff is the dye lingers even after you have burned all the red.

There is a way around for Farm trucks that are licensed correctly. They are exempt from the road tax and can run the red.

I let the car sit for ten days and starting was dismal. While not as bad as ethanol after 5 days, I'm disappointed.  :shruggy:

Quote from: 70 sublime on November 22, 2025, 07:05:46 PMHow much is a gallon of 100 av gas compaired to the best car gas you can get at the pump ?
Is the av gas a lot cheaper because it does not have any of the road tax stuff on it ??

Around here it's $7-8 a gallon. Lack of road tax is the exact reason it's illegal to use it in a road car.

Quote from: 426HemiChick on November 22, 2025, 04:59:24 PMWon't be too long and turbines may prove feasible as replacements for small piston aircraft or small planes will go the way of the Dodo Bird.

Turbines are way to expensive and too thirsty. Many new small aircraft are now powered by diesels which will burn readily available jet fuel and lots else.
