For a '69, I like it.

An all time classic.  :cheers:

So, if it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me approximately how many 'XP cars had this color combination?

Ghoste

It ran about the same as the RT cars but I'll get a better total for you later.

I talked with the seller a little while ago. He said that he bought it from someone at Carlisle about 6 years ago. Anyone remember it?

Nice looking car.............  :2thumbs:
Troy
'69 Charger Daytona 440 auto 4.10 Dana ( now 426 HEMI )
'70 Superbird 426 Hemi auto: Lindsley Bonneville Salt Flat world record holder (220.2mph)
Houston Mopar Club Connection

Myk, I did a count for you and there are 8 white XP Chargers in the Registry with red interior.  This is about the same number as the RT's but I broke them down further of course because of the red stripe.  Red is by far the least common color registered for interiors with the next uncommon color having 2.5 times more cars registered than red.

Agreed. Seeing that the car was "meticulously restored by a true Mopar lover", the quarter stripes are on the wrong sides, the rear bumper guard bolts are not on, there's something hiding behind the grille on the driver's side, the power brake booster is wrong & a whole lot of detailing is needed under the hood. Makes you wonder what one will find in person, but, it still does look like a very nice car.

Quarter stripes are on the wrong sides? Can you explain? I'm not seeing it.  :shruggy: :confused:

This picture shows it best...

Oh, because the R/T is crooked? It doesn't line up with the body line.

I'm putting the stripe on my car this weekend, so I don't want to make the same mistake.

Plus, look mhow it goes across the top of the quarter panels. When it's put on wrong sides, the stripe angles backwards.

Wow thanks for the sleuthing.  Whoever owned my car back in the day must have really loved the DOH; not that these cars were worth anything before 20 years ago...

Ahhhh. I love that white 'n red.. The magnums...the black tail panel... something about it just seems right.  :drool5:

I really like it.  :2thumbs:   But... I also think I could get tired of it after a while.  :shruggy:

Ya, maybe. Guess I'll go drive the black one then.. :drive:

I don't know that I'd change a car to it but for sure if I bought one in that color combo I would leave it that way.  Don't think I'd get tired of it.

I like my car the way it sits, but....I wish I could have known my car from before with that color combination.  

I had pictures of the Charger from one of  the previous owners when it was still white and red with dish-looking hubcaps; I hope I can find them and post them up...
