Chargers at SEMA 2015

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Seems like there are only a couple of chargers at the SEMA show this year. Most have been around for a while but its always nice to see em. Was hoping there would be some announcements on some new mopar parts but it doesn't look like much.

I really like this black/carbon fiber 68/70. I'm hoping they actually drive this one.

And General Mayhem finally got the correct tail lights back on   

Also this crazy 69 with a huge blower

Thanks!

[Mopar Nut]

Sweet!   

Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for sharing.

The first one is a bit over the top for me but I can appreciate the mods on the red/orange one, really tastefull imo.

  Thanks for posting the pics!

Wow, so you got to go?  I love that black/gray 70. I thought the Detroit speed car was over the top but dang!  I strangely like the Furious 7 car but I heard they were all destroyed but 1 and all had LS motors with 350 Trans.      Does anyone else find these shows discouraging at times because like racing, it seems the one with the most money wins.  Hence the Rat rod movement I guess ......but even that is going high end now.  

[Ghoste]

Yes, I think the rat rod thing will soon hit its peak.  I wonder what the next fad will be.

That first one is crazy- looking at the engine confuses me.

That depends on how you define "rat rod".  Most of what the press calls rat rods are more like $50,000 cars with flat paint.  ('m not dissing that, just saying.)  

Frieburger's General Mayhem is the genuine article.  You still don't see that very often with the really popular 2dr 67-71 bodystyles.

[Ghoste]

I agree Mike, true "rat rods" have always been around and always will be.  I was thinking more about the faux distressed ones.

Found the details of the carbon fiber 70. It's named "Tantrum".

Alot of money and effort to once again prove you better be very careful if you think you can improve the look of a Gen 2 Charger.

Sadly no, I just pulled some pictures that I found on the web of the chargers at the show.

I didn't realize they changed the taillights? Guess I found last years photo. Damn, that was one of my favorite parts of the car.

Thanks for posting them up!

Agreed, I like the General Mayhem the most and it was probably the cheapest one to build.

WHITE AND RED 69, with the quality of work your ride has, I would think one of the manufacturers of one of your mods would want to showcase your ride?

Thanks Mike but my car doesn't have the fit and finish or the paint job that these showcase cars do. These cars have teams of professionals working on em, I'm just a chump working in a home garage     

It would be nice to get some free parts though.      Maybe I should call up Baer and try to get some free 6 piston calipers. 

[BrianShaughnessy]

Really cool!   Thanks for posting.   

   So many of us will probably never get to go to SEMA
