I love that car. It belongs to long time forum member Sunroof Superbird. It was pretty much a rust bucket when he did it if I remember right. So at the time it was no loss. I personally work with a guy that owns a 1970 Charger 4x4, that was also on it's way to the junk yard, when he saved it, and made it a 4x4 in the '80's. Look at it this way, at least the guy gave the car a second life instead of crushing it.

Im all about classic muscle given a second chance. I guess the style isnt my cup o tea. To each his own I suppose.

I think it's hilarious! Sunroofsuperbird is right near the top of my "damn, I gotta meet that guy" list.

I count it as a loss because it was still fixed up and saved but is no longer a Charger.
My 1969 Charger. RIP......Rest in pieces.

IMO I would never do that to ANY classic car unless the car was a basket case. Either way it was creative.

My Dad and I tipped a few beers with him and Andy74 (who tipped a lot of beers) at Carlisle one Saturday night about six years ago. He was Driving his Vista Cruiser/Chally wagon that year. The year before he had his GL 4x4 at the show. Great guy, a ton of stories. Has so many projects he couldn't remember all of them. He's had some health issues the past few years.

The time taken to build this "creature" would have better spent on keeping the car the way Ma Mopar built it.

all i want is the rear window louver. would kill for it . other than that it makes a perfect gl. if your gonna make a gl. then this is what it should look llike. a true redneck country car. let rosco try to catch that. its ugly but its the best general car ever.

It doesnt look like the rear louvers fit well.
In the 80's these cars aren't what they are valued at today.

I recall a dukes ep where they actually did something like that to the ole general, albeit not as over the top as the ones posted here.

He also has a Challenger station wagon, that's cool. I don't see nothing wrong with taking a rust bucket and doing something creative with it. That's what hot rodding is all about.

It may come as a shock to some of you guys, but not every customized car in existence was built recently.
