Chrome trim for vinyl is still on the drivers side

Correct although supposedly the passenger side is back on the car.

Any others?

Umm, no wiring loom for hood turn signals, so I guess they are not installed. Fairly fresh paint, painted fender tag also, hard to see much else . And its a 500 as well

Other than all that the car just needs the weatherstripping around the side windows replaced which comes with the car.

Forget the chrome trim.  I don't know about you but I would've just taken it off and sold it/tossed it anyway.  In any case, a thousand pictures don't equal just one visit; go see the car and let us know how it turns out...

AS always, Myk is on target. You can look at the pictures until your eyes dry out but still miss something that is obvious in person.

LOL that was my initial thought too. Look at all those nice dodge rams, all probably cost more than their "houses" as well.

Drivers side door gap much wider than the passenger side. Grill surround seems higher than the fender, drivers side.
Front end damage?  :shruggy:

The most obvious thing is: missing the trailer hitch!

Totally wrong air cleaner. That long single snorkel looks to be from a late 70's lean burn car.  Also the rear valance is tweaked under the license plate area.

I wonder how come the body shops forget to put the Pentastar emblem back on the front right fender, they must have a good build up of them in there scrap piles. I have seen this on many high dollar jobs. This may be piddly sh1t but it's one of the first things that catch me eye. It's missing it's (cooler then those things), factory wheels. No electrical problems it says, maybe cuz some electricals are missing as you all have pointed out?

Do you think the fender tag is facing the wrong way? Read it from the engine bay? Screws are on the lower half of the tag. I thought the screws should be on the upper half?

Yep fender tag on the wrong way, 68 fuel cap,
No boot or trunk seal
I thought head light doors on a 70 closed when you turned engine off, I'm sure if headlight door motor fails you can wind them open, ?
Rear window trim fitment sucks , typical ill fitted corners
Vinyl top chrome ? But no top

This one looks slapped together.   The magic of 72dpi.

UH60L

First things that jump out at me are the trim for the missing vinyl top, the 500 emblem (I have no idea what that trim level would have had in '70...), looks like a quick flip paint job, didn't look like it had the penta-star emblem on the right fender...

Exactly-I took mine off  even though it's a citation waiting to happen...

Is the point to "spot what's wrong" from a "factory stock" perspective? If so I've stopped counting.

Or, is it to spot what has been incorrectly done or done haphazardly? If so I've stopped counting.

is that the correct location of the "Charger" badges on the sail (for a 70')? IDK

Check mark trim is present,  where is the factory vinyl roof????

Shucker456

Seems many 70 chargers have chrome trim around side reflectors.  Rear chrome is absent on this car.

Shucker456

Two more things, no rear trunk seal and door gaps are off on driver's side don't match passenger side
