Its supposed to be in Japan, if so it ties in well with all the other cartoon things they love so much.

Traction might still be a problem with the ass up that high!

I like it  :coolgleamA:... wouldn't do it.. BUT I LIKE IT  :2thumbs:

Should've tubbed it and narrowed the rear. I wonder if they have a step stool to put gas in it?

I guess its not going to corner so well, at least its all downhill  :D

About 4 years ago there was some guy selling a turbine bronze 68 on eBay, jacked up to the max, tubbed and blown for $50k , cant find any pics of it , pretty wild

I also like it. It looks like they did NOT have to do any cutting which means they can change it back without too much trouble. Kinda looks like a funnycar. Im sure they have to wear seatbelts to keep from sliding out of the seats while driving.

My 275 60 R15's warmed up and aired down would hook better those.

I, also, have 275/60/15's in Nitto Extreme Drag Radials on the rear and, aired down, I am

Yep the guy lives in Japan. I think it looks pretty cool in a throwback sort of way. only a 2nd gen Charger could pull that look off!! 
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

It was a different time and era of hottroding...most of you guys probably weren't even born then  :scratchchin: it was all about "attitude" back then, but today it seems "altitude" would be a more appropriate term :icon_smile_big:

Truly the good old days, for some here that didn't live during this era...Chargers or any Mopar for that matter weren't cool to own, only to the Mopar faithful, Mopars were actually looked down upon by the hotrodding world of motorheads.....even a HEMI car had no respect or awe, except to the Mopar guys...wingcars were for weirdos, and I swear most that owned them back in the day were wackjobs :icon_smile_big:

The owner said it's not high enough and plans to make it higher so he does not break traction..it's all over Facebook.

I like it. I'll bet he has the only one in town.

I was thinking that this set up is kind of the "fart can" improvement of the old school daze. Looks radical but typically didnt make the car faster or more drivable.

I still think  :coolgleamA:   :coolgleamA:  :coolgleamA:  when I see cars like this. I guess its a generational thing.
