I still like it, when I first got my charger in the 70s my previous car had been a v8 mustang vert, and I always wanted to get a 2nd charger to lop the top off and try it out, took longer than I expected and eventually gave up on convertibles and moved on.  (as most do) I like the lines of the charger better than the coronet, and it looks good as a convertible, it does look like a coronet with the top up a little, bet it depends on the angle though.  Back in those days, cruising with 3 or more friends along was preferred, now parking tends to be the trend now.  4 door verts were popular at one time, now 2 seaters tend to be more popular.  The charger was a happy medium, looked like a 4 door, but only had 2 doors, and the vert top looks like it was made for it, even if it doesn't carry the shape as the hardtop. 

Getting the right top is paramount to a vert, have to drive it sometimes and may want the top up occasionally, so It has to look the part.  Most of the time they look ok. I've seen some poor examples done, especially with new challengers that people convert.

Any updates on the Converts?..


Welcome back! do you still have the charger?

Yeah, no kiddin'.  There's a moldy oldy.

Brock, I seen this Charger on ebay year or 2 back & thought of you.  I remember you wanting to see what this would look like on a car IIRC?

Could be wrong....but I'm pretty sure that was one Travis used to own (it was all black when he had it)

So was Travis responsible for the guitar color work or the person who bought it from him?
