Wow, that's a really nice car!  The previous owner must have taken good care of it.  You're a lucky man.  Congrats.

Very cool! I've been unsuccessful locating my first car, but always on the lookout. Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks Paul !! Not much for changes planned . Maybe remove the tail stripe. I already switched out the R/t emblems for the proper arrows .

Only the taillight panel emblem left (and the tail stripe?)   That will make a fine cruiser!

I am gonna make the a/c work again though. That system used to freeze the inside of the car.

Congrats on getting back your first car.  I think the Keystone mags look great on a second generation Charger.  Have fun!

There it what appears to be wire mesh (like would go in a screen door) strapped to the condenser,  Is this to keep bugs from getting embedded in the condenser?     Car looks great!!    :2thumbs:   :2thumbs:  Congrats.

While that might keep the bugs out it's also remarkably good at reducing air flow.

Congrats on getting your first car back. I still have mine, mostly because I cut it up to make a racer out of it.
