I recently bought my first Charger 500. I sold my Superbird in 1984 and was looking to buy another one so this came up and I passed on it back then. This time I did not pass. It happens to be my favorite color T-5 and even better it is a 4spd. It will be in good company next to the General Lee. I tried to post pictures but seem like the file is to large.

Thank you and it was the perfect car for me in great shape and just a few miles away. I had it looked at and all it needed was a battery for now drives great. I do plan on repainting it in the Fall as it is a keeper. Not sure about the wheels though I may change them. There are lots of options looking at the recall wheels as one of them.

I drove it all day plan on enjoying it this Summer and then putting a knock out paint job on it in the Fall then I will be scared to drive it😯 Three people actually knew what it was surprisingly. One guy said wow a 500 those are rare! Chris did you buy a 500 ot something else?

Kool story, so you missed buying this same car in the past. How long ago?

It was after I sold my Superbird like late 80,s. I remember the price was 14,500. I was looking more for another wing car so I said not a bad price but I'll wait. I looked at lots of 500,s back in the day I remember I found one for $1500 in rough shape. This car was in the area but not seen a lot.

I have someone who wants the Magnums so I may just buy a quick set of hubcaps for the Summer. I like the Dodge Division ones with the holes on the outside. Or even the one with all the ridges in them. Any recommendations?

If you're gonna go with hubcaps, I say you have to go with the dodge dog dish ones with the redline and painted steel wheels...

:iagree:

They were one option given when the Kelsey Hayes recall wheels were returned. Come in 15"
