My new charger project

charger01 · October 25, 2015, 07:17:21 PM

Well after selling my 69 charger 2 years ago, with sellers remorse ofcourse. I picked up this 70 yesterday. I know alot of guys don't like the 70's as well, but it is exactly what I was looking for. It's a factory 383 car, but now has a 70 440 hp. It runs and drives, but still needs attention before it could be on the road. The body shouldnt need any panels replaced, so thats a major plus. Just gonna have some fun with it. Feels so goooood to have a charger again. I got the build sheet, orig owners manual and original window sticker, unfortanetly the window sticker is for a different 70.

This is the part of owning a new old charger that are the most fun.
You've already been through the worst part.

polywideblock · October 25, 2015, 10:54:15 PM

great

try photo bucket

skip68 · October 26, 2015, 06:09:27 AM

I wouldn't throw a 70 out of bed. All three years are the best, I just prefer 68's.

.

Any big plans for it? Congratulations.

charger01 · October 26, 2015, 07:34:34 AM

My plans this go around are to get it reliable, throw some black primer on it. (Currently in at least 5 year old yellow primer)some decent wheels and enjoy it.

Not to bring up a sore subject, but why did you sell the '69?

70 sublime · October 26, 2015, 08:22:03 AM

Some might even say that 70 was the best year to have

myk · October 26, 2015, 08:27:23 AM

All the 2nd Gens are rolling works of steel-art.

As for uploading pictures, just use photobucket.com. Make a free account, upload your pictures, copy and paste the IMG link into your posts like so:

Just typical life happens stuff. Plus I wanted a black 70. The General Lee is cool, but it overshadows the fact that it is a 69 charger imo. Make sense?

charger01 · October 26, 2015, 01:35:26 PM

Having difficulties with my photobucket account, I got it off ebay. Heres the link.

crj1968 · October 26, 2015, 01:39:56 PM

Wow and you got it for $200 !

Very cool- I just picked up a 70 500 a couple weeks ago. I paid $500 though.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

charger01 · October 26, 2015, 01:54:13 PM

Yeah I guess no one else was interested in buying a charger last week.

6spd68 · October 26, 2015, 02:56:22 PM

Looks like a really decent project car; I hope the price was right!

I think it was, but what's everyone's opinion? It's all orig sheet metal.

skip68 · October 26, 2015, 07:25:40 PM

Man, that seems like a great car. I'm guessing it was in the $14k-$16k price range.

Maybe more.

Running, driving, mostly complete and not a bondo bucket. $15-$18K.

Do the brakes, fill the tank and go cruising.

marshallfry01 · October 26, 2015, 08:15:15 PM

Nice driver! I spy 69 door panels

I like those better than 70's anyway!

lukedukem · October 26, 2015, 08:31:25 PM

Really great car. Time to make it your own
What's that plug thing in the last picture?

charger01 · October 26, 2015, 08:33:19 PM

Trickle charger i guess.

nvrbdn · October 26, 2015, 08:34:28 PM

I was thinking battery tender,

charger01 · May 12, 2016, 08:58:00 PM

Not for everyone, but I like it, back from paint!

TPR · May 13, 2016, 04:46:22 AM

lukedukem · May 13, 2016, 06:45:58 AM

I'm really digging it. But then I'm partial to the satin black theme. Imagine what it look like with General Lee rims.

Luke

charger01 · May 13, 2016, 03:50:53 PM

No good at posting pics, took me a half hour to get this one, lol

I'm a big fan of your car too Dukem. I'm a sucker for satin black. That'll be the color of my next one.
