I added the VIN to the thread title, hopefully any potential buyers know to Google the VIN to see if anything comes up.

Good deal....I modified the original  I would hope for 86k a potential buyer would do their homework!

I usually don't pick at these "cars for sale" but this one is so obvious.  Add says 4 speed but it sure looks like an auto floor shift to me.

Strange that they would take the RT VIN and then make a General Lee from it.  Any old VIN would seem to do the trick for a General Lee.   Not saying this is a rebody or not, just a waste of an RT car especially if that much work was involved as an XP would be seemingly just as valuable, whatever this car may be worth.

I give the guy props for bringing another charger back from the dead, but I have to question why do all that just to make another General clone? Any old charger would have worked for that.

I didn't realize that you could do that? Are you an administrator on this site? Hence the stars below your your name?

Just asking to better know this forum community.

Thanks  :cheers:

Do you really think that's the original unibody under that R/T VIN?  Come on.  That's gotta be a re-body.  



Yeah, there are some guys in the hobby who would actually fix that trashed original unibody.  But they are not the ones who would slap it together as a crummy overpriced GL clone when they were done.

This is not an $86,000 car:

Nice door panels. Are those from Year One?

Not sure.  However, the upper pad appears to be from "Wrong Year".

I emailed the dealership and said, "Hello, what metal work has been all done to the car?". They just replied....


"The current owner has owned the vehicle for 10+ years and aside from adding the grille guard and roll cage, the only metal work that has been done was some custom welding on the radiator assembly and a custom fabricated front core support to allow for better component clearance. "

Oh, boy. This one will generate a future "I got screwed" thread". Someone will eventually buy it for $50k and think they got a deal.

Based on the fact there is a pic w/ the VIN loose, not riveted to the dash frame, I'd say theres a LOT to be suspicious about.  :Twocents:

You're right Mike. I momentarily forgot HLpag and rebodies were a thing. That's got to be what this is.

Ad says "four-speed automatic". I assume they did one of the popular conversions, A518... Keisler... etc.  Or maybe it is a mistake in the listing and it is still a 3 speed auto.  :shruggy:

all true :iagree:  what other guys say  :yesnod:  

 if &  big IF this was the original body that has been repaired , the crap panel alignment , body work , paint work that's been done, &   use of some parts etc , calls into question the quality of the welding / metal work .   i'm sure any body guy who would of taken on a re construction of a charger like that/ this , would not have done a shit amateur   job of all the other aspects of the work required when rebuilding a old car from the ground up ie a bare shell rebuild   :shruggy:  or at least not asking good money for it, maybe the owner done it to please him self & had no intentions of selling but for one reason or another  its now for sell at a dealer who knows ...
i'm going with, its a poorly done rebody , for  maximum  profit ,  just hope some serious DOH fan does not get taken in buy this car , hope anyone looking to buy this checks in to this site first !

RUN from this car IMO
