Seats appear "puffy".
My 68 Charger was never like that, nor my Daytona.

Is this a function of the repop seat material or the repop foam padding?
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

There is a video of them driving it and unloading it on their company Facebook page.

Could be.. Have to be new covers for I see both of the buttons on the bottom passenger seat missing. That's why when I replace my seat covers I'm using the original buttons... And did not C500's, get the 68 version of the auto-shifter knob?

Yeah, the seats look like grannies old puffy sofa!   I'd assume repop seat material is thinner, letting the foam really pop !!!

At least it has some bugs on the radiator, means somebody drove it.

I was at Carlisle and got to see this car in person, the word amongst the crowd was the car sold to Southern for $90K.

Now you can Buy it for $130k. Easy way to make $40k. :scratchchin: :shruggy:

For that price it would have to have Kelsey-Hays recalls and HEAD-RESTS! lol... :smilielol:

Good looking car, I like it. seems to be reasonably well done.

So, whats a REAL world realistic selling price in todays market. Obviously $90 k, but can or will they make money on it ?
