terrible one

Can someone tell me what's up with the nose? What is the plastic or plexiglass thing in place of the drivers headlight?

A screen mesh cover that kept large chunks of track debris from getting sucked into the ductwork. This is a NASCAR nose, not a street nose.

it was a regular 70 charger 500 wasn't it? not a 69?  maybe I'm reading it wrong...

This is an original Charger 500 with the Nascar back glass. .Is how its described.In order to have the flush back window.It had to be a 69 500 or daytona .A 70 charger 500 doesnt have a flush back glass.And they didnt mention using a aftermarket window plug??

Do you happen to know any info on the red 500 in the pic you just attached?

Where it is now?  Who owns it?

:iagree:

I bought that print in '90 with a bunch of other Mopar posters.  It is still hanging in my Folks garage along with my Led Zeppelin, Rush and hot chick posters.

One of my faves also.

I think there is something wrong with rear plug in glass... maybe a Vega plug in ?... it looks some outwards curved... more than I think really is. I never have seen a second gen in person, of course neither a 500/daytona, but I'm talking about what I have seen on internet

The rear glass is too wide to be a stock aero car plug....  i think the sides wrap around a little bit more...  i'll check when i get home tonight :icon_smile_big:

It has a complete '70 Charger interior so I really doubt it is a '69 500 converted over.

You are right,    I saw that car at the Winged Warriors meet at Pigeon Forge TN. a few years ago and the owner told me it was a 1970, 500 that the previous owner had done up for one of the power tours on the east coast. At that time it was a 440-4BBL engine that needed some upgrades and  he said that the rear window is out of a Vega. The pink Marty Robbins Daytona did have a rear window out of a 69-500,this one doesn't. When I saw the car it didn't have a fuel cell in it.I can't remember for sure but I think the owner said there were Fisher Plow lights on it. At the time the car was in North Carolina.

So I was right... now we know how looks and how different is... it looks good anyway, but we know now side by side the difference.

Anyway I don't like winged or 500s... I love the recesed window, and grilles :D

I will admit that I like the regular 68-70 Charger style more than the 500 but I like purpose built aero cars in general.

I believe that is a 1970 Charger 500 cloned into a Daytona.

As far as the other car pictured I also think it is Charlies car still to this day.
