"Special Car?"  That exact brochure car--Special.  A T5 Hemi car--OK.  That's special.  A '69 Charger--Still special.

Tell us more Chris............is it the actual car in the brochure.........a 69 HEMI XP car? Is it the one with a lot of 68 items installed and produced very early? What is the build date and are they going to restore it as it was when photographed in the summer of 68?    :scratchchin:

Let me guess.... your definition of "early 69" &  "68 parts" means that you are referring to the hacked in 68 rear side markers?  :slap:

All I can say is, I would hope that for a '69 Charger of that importance it will be give a proper restoration. That means, EXACTLY the way it left the factory.
I hope that for CCR and Keisler, they take that into account & do the right thing. Leave the customizing and O/D transmissions to models of less importance.

Prepare to be disappointed.   :Twocents:

I don't think it'll be as wacky a build as the Cuda but he did and continues to learn a lot from the Cuda.  But the focus of his build is as a technology showcase for his and other sponsors products.

That's too bad.  I don't normally say anything in regards to how someone restores their ride but if there was one car that deserved to be brought back to it's fresh from the factory look, it's this one.   :rotz:

I guess there weren't any base model '69 Chargers for sale that could use some vendor support AMD metal?   :Twocents: :Twocents:

Nice......from the article....

"The changes made during our coverage will almost all be reversible to OEM status with the car being restored with some modern upgrades, since it will likely never be a numbers matching vehicle."

::)


I thought someone had the original brochure car? Chris, you say it's not the actual brochure car but in that article and in their ad in the new Mopar action, they keep saying this is "most likely" THE car. In that article they stated "The mystery of it being the brochure car could not be confirmed beyond all doubt, but honest money, this is it". In the Mopar Action ad, the car is already covered in nice fresh AMD metal......

That was my hunch, too. According to the article, there will be some "upgrades" that can easily be returned to stock. That can be interpreted in many ways.
The article goes on to imply that it's already a non-matching numbers car, so who cares?  :shruggy:    That is a disgrace, IMHO. This car deserves to be brought back to dead-stock, original condition. No questions asked.

My thoughts exactly. Surely there is someone on here that has a strippo 318 Charger that would make a perfect candidate to showcase his & other sponsors' products. Maybe I have one I could lend....  :D
There is simply no reason to customize or modify that particular vehicle.
OK, rant off.
