This looks like 156008, it was at Mopars at the Strip in April.  I think it was the only non-Hemi in the main tent.

Beautiful car; started out as a wreck in a field.

Here's the body tag and the "before" picture that was by the car. Homerr, It's not in your new database if you want to have the honors.  That'll make it 231.

Wow car looks great! Id take a 500 over a daytona any day.....while no expert I see no chrome squares on the map pockets.....

[A383Wing]

I thought the chrome squares were 68 only?

I would take this over the green Daytona in the other thread any day

[moparfan]

c500 looks good but I like wings and nose cones on mine.

[Ghoste]

Correct on the map pocket chrome, should not be there its a 68 thing.

[JB400]

It's quite the car.

[500Jon]

Best colour F8 Metallic green with a green interior!

Looks almost identical to my Moparmates Green/green C500 here in the UK.
Love the Coronet style rocker moldings, (I think my mate needs one for his C500 too)
He has upgraded to 1971 disc brakes so 15-inch steelies for him.
When he wins the lottery he wants 15-inch Kelseys,,, COOLIO!!!

What's with the Funky 67 air cleaner???

Sure its gonna get snapped up at that price!

I smell a new FT???

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

What's with the Funky 67 air cleaner???

Thats the correct silenced air cleaner when equipped with the N97 Noise Reduction Package 

[ACUDANUT]

Worst color combo by far.   EEEK

that's one thing I learned new...didn't know that..must be rare to have it on a 500?

[held1823]

i love the car, love everything about it including the color.

nice as it is, would it bring 65k without a J in the vin?

[charger_fan_4ever]

Nice car but i think pigs would fly before it brought 100k+.

Its twin for $72k

I didn't want to be the first one to say it but I thought the price was double what it should be..

[500Jon]

OOPS, binned a few of those Noise reduction air cleaners...
I always thought they were up to 67 and Old school!
Obviously some Folks wanted the looks of the C500 and the luxury of a GTX!!!

Noise reduction, how mad is that on an R/T car???

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Pretty car, but the green interior is a damn shame.

[pettybird]

Noise reduction, how mad is that on an R/T car???

mandatory in some states like CA.  Also I've been in a '69 R/T that was soooooo quiet it's still one of the cars I'd most like to take on a road trip.  It was a factory undercoated car as well. 

noise is good.  noise ALL THE DAMN TIME gets old.

This is why I am undercoating my 500

He probably has that much into it.  I talked to him last spring; he regretted not restoring a Hemi car. He said because of the cost and time involved in locating, then getting all the power options properly restored and functional, it would have cost less to restore a plain Jane Hemi car. It was his first Mopar resto, but the judges were very impressed by the workmanship and detail.

I guess one can get upside down with anything.

As long as all you Aero Experts are here, I'd like to toss a question out.  The trunklid cap on this car has a lip about 3/4 of an inch long running perpendicular to the flat of the trunk lid.  I've never seen this before,  but then again I haven't seen that many C500s and Daytonas with the trunk open.  Was this used for a while, a TSB to cure leakage, or something else?    Has anyone else seen this before?

Is this possibly a regular Charger trunk lid that was converted to a 500 lid? If they converted it this way that would explain it. I have never seen a car with much more than a 1/8 to a short 1/4" lip.

[500Jon]

I've seen a few C500/Daytona lids, they are all pretty much 1/4" single down-turn Flange.
Creative probably had a hardwood former to shape the double curve?
But to save time and effort, no double fold like door skins etc...

I double-folded my flange to make it stronger, but its still a 1/4".
Thats just me, motor trade and fussy!!!

No mention of a broadcast sheet or any other original documentation?   I guess its all on the fender tag.  But for the super high price of $165,000,  I'd sure like to have some original paper to back it up.  

[bill440rt]

No mention of a build sheet or any other original documentation....? I guess its all on the fender tag.  

Looks to be a repop tag? 

VERY nice car, though.

Yea, that tags looks brand new
Did I mention the horrible color. 

[Redmanf1]

I like the looks of the 70 charger much better.

[5hunert]

Here's its window sticker.  Since it's a repop, I know it isn't "official documentation" but it is a fun read.  Being sold new in Cali explains the air filter.

[Bug shield C500]

WOW... I love the green Mopars. I guess looking at the before pictures and if all the good rare parts were stripped out it would take a pretty penny to restore to that level. Well heck if someone what's a green on green C500 I would sell my original paint numbers matching never wrecked Bug Shield C500 for the 50k range. That's over 100k savings....

[moparchris]

I don't know how many serious buyers there would be for my "ugly" Green/Green 426 4 speed C500 at $165K

I think you could easily sell your C500 for 50K. Or was that a Joke ?

That's going to get some attention! Be careful with that one!

[Bug shield C500]

Yes, I am putting the car up for sale soon. I am cleaning some things up right now but the holidays have really kept me busy with family stuff. Stay tuned, I will post when it's ready..

[69_500]

To get back to the craigslist car. It is one of 3 500's I have seen with cruise control. All 3 are in the same batch of cars too.
