1:18th '69 Charger R/T V2 Hemi Orange & V21!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

There were rumors back on Sept of '13 that AutoWorld was coming out with a new '69 Charger R/T 1:18 model which included the V21 Hood Performance Treatment.....Well its official!   Due out in April of '14 is this little gem.

Not sure if I had anything to do with them picking Hemi Orange with a black roof, stripe & interior

Pics look pretty cool (with a few inaccuracies that I can see....hopefully these are early prototype pics)  I already pre ordered one for myself.   I think this makes it easier for me to add the V21 to my car

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice, Chris!!!!   

Putting that one on my "wish list" for sure.

They could have at least put a New York plate on it.

Just think of the trouble you'll make for the T-shirt / clock / coffee mug / etc. folks, who will have to trash all their old inventory when it no longer matches your car!

I spied that on their website after your initial post, although apparently this new mold/series won't have opening doors, etc.  "to keep the costs down."  Doesn't bother me, to be honest.

Chris, are you going to put the engine callouts back over the V21 blackout if you go that route?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

If I do the V21 it will be "stock" for '69.....  no callouts.  What you think?

[JB400]

Sounds like a winner to me   Might I suggest that you lay out some black construction paper as a temporary mock up of the stripes to make sure that is exactly what you want.

would look good !!  instead of paint  ,  may be get some  decals made up  

S4W has got it !!   make some sort of mock up etc to evaluate first  

black on orange awesome color combo   , so too would  black on white , red ,   yellow , sublime  



might get one of these dicasts , & paint it Y2

I actually have a stencil full sized tracing from a factory V21 equipped '69 courtesy of member LeesRT

Used it for a little preview when I got them back on 2006

 We used it on Bill's Sublime '69 already and it worked out well

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I also did some quick "paintwork" back then too....as you can see I have been contemplating this for a while

[Ghoste]

Do the callouts.

[TUFCAT]

Don't do V21.  

[bill440rt]

Don't do the callouts.   
(Confused yet?) 

[69charger2002]

i agree with not doing the V21. looks better just staring at a perfect orange 69 hood

[JB400]

i agree with not doing the V21. looks better just staring at a perfect orange 69 hood

But, it's not just a perfectly orange hood.  He's already got black call outs already.

I would have to agree with v21 with call outs.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

ugh      


LOL 

[tan top]

Don't do V21.

Do the callouts.

 any of the above combinations look awesome !!  
 think V21 would look good on mine too , although if I done it , would be bothering me its not  coded for V21 , & not original to the car ,  even though ive changed  top vinyl color  

[Ghoste]

Glad you asked huh?  If you made a poll it would be dead heat.

DOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEETT!!!   



Then throw out the AC and put in a 4 speed and your car will match the diecast!   

[Ghoste]

Remember Chris, you are the one who made your car world famous and like any celebrity it is now public domain.  You can ask opinions about the car, but it belongs just as much to us now so you are lighting a tinderbox here.  (no you still have to pay all the bills- you don't see me flipping for Lohan rehab or Kardashian divorce lawyers)

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

LOL!  Good stuff guys.

Steve I get what you are saying.  In my case, a lot of my car isnt "coded"   My car was actually a V88 stripe delete R/T, originally R6 Red also.

When & if I do add the V21 it will be just the stripes...no call outs.  The way I look at it if I truly "hate" it, it will give me more incentive to repaint to the original R6

PS---another 1:18 pre-production pic

[RJS]

Chris your going about this all wrong!!
Tape up where the V21 goes and then paint the car Organisol.
Bet you didn't see that one coming...
VAROOOOOOOOM!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Oh my....   

[bill440rt]

Well, the diecast is looking awesome!! 

[RJS]

Yo Slapper I see you lost the "70 Van picture too!!!!
