Original Grand Spaulding Mr Norm Chargers

[CornDogsCharger]

I was wondering if anyone had pictures of an 68-70 Chargers that were sold new at Grand Spaulding Dodge. I am restoring a 69 Charger 500 that was sold new there and the owner wants to put the dealership decal on the back of it... I'm just trying to figure out where the original placement of it would have been. I have seen it in a couple different locations but I just wanted it to be in the correct/most common spot. Here are the few that I've found pictures of.

Thanks!!

I believe on Norms website he has a guide to that, Maxwell Wedge probably knows.

I wonder if anyone ever told Mr. Norm that his logo looks less like a snorting ram's head and more like a leaky uterus?

think Mr Norm  , had  a  silver 68 hemi charger  , for his own personal use too ,

Someone drilled the frame rails?  Like a 421 Pontiac - to make it lighter?  Love to hear that story.

[Ghoste]

Not just the frame rails, I've seen that car and it had lightening holes on other places too.

Mind as well drill into the body also...

I'd guess the original owner didn't purchase it to preserve it as an example for future generations.

Bought it to race.

The Mr Norm's site describes that they put stickers on the left rear quarter glass, right lower corner of rear window, sometimes on right rear quarter glass and a sticker on the rear of the car, bumper or valence I presume.  If you join the Mr Norm's club, they will send you three of the stickers.  I put the dyno sticker on the left rear quarter of my 2010 challenger, and on the back window of the challenger, but decided I would put the sticker found on the rear of the car on my charger's rear bumper, not the paint...only because I don't put stickers on painted surfaces. 

Is there a thread somewhere that describes what Mr Norm did to the chargers he worked on?  i.e. what mods did they make that improved the performance? and did they do it to 440's as well as hemi's or did they focus on hemi's.  The first month after I bought my 2010 challenger, I told myself while I'd like a supercharger and to have it enrolled on the Mr Norm's official listing, I had to wait until the car was out of warranty and had at least 30k miles on it.  5 years later I am shocked that I have not crossed the 30k mile mark on my challenger, couldn't afford the supercharger now if I wanted it, so instead I put a Mr Norm's Super Challenger badge on the rear spoiler.  No one in the last year has even noticed that badge, although I get lots of kudos from people on the street whenever I drive my challenger.  Its kind of hard to miss with bright yellow paint and a TA hood scoop.

I think they did whatever the customer was willing to pay for but for the most part the only thing they did to each performance car was to give it a super tune before letting it leave the lot.

Was the 7 pounds they saved in weight worth all that effort?

[Lennard]

I agree... If the driver would take a shit and the front bumper off before the race he would've saved more weight.

Was the 7 pounds they saved in weight worth all that effort?

...the same thing.
