Foose Charger

[Charger1970]

This Foose Charger is on eBay. I wonder why the owner sold it. Looks pretty slick. It'll be interesting to see how high the bidding goes.

Probably for sale because Foose did not quite grasp the different style genres, the shaker looks like stilettos on a monk. The wheels look like they belong on a farm implement.

Paint is nice.

Odometer only shows 420 miles which might suggest only 420 miles driven since 2005 restoration.    Whether or not one likes the appearance (I am not a big fan), the car would be great to drive.

How many people are truly devoted to their cars?  When the need arrives or something shinier catches the eye most people will sell, no matter how much they cried on the TV show.  I bet most of us here would sell if the price was right...

They got rid of tthe stock gauges...that's one of the main reasons of owning one of those.

Just saw a 66 hemi charger go for $50K on Barret-Jackson.  Much better looking car than this one.

Exactly, the gauges, the console, the things that made the first gens so cool.
Let's just paste on some later (totally inconsistent) styling queues and giant (also stylistically inconsistent) wheels...

I guess that kid that got that car really did appreciate it about as much as he looked like he did on the show...   
Anyway,  not my cup of tea.   

I'd rather have the AMX that same ebay dealer is listing  http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMC-AMX-/361479740075

Me too, you're not alone there TT. 

With the exception of some cases of having aftermarket wheels/tires.

Other than that keep it stock.

No after market gauges, no hood scoops, no rear wheel fender flares, no spoilers ANYWHERE, no side pipes, no cut hoods, no covering up the hood scallops or door scallops (unless it's 70 R/T), no after market bucket seats.

The following are sometimes NOT seen on 2nd gens and these are my must have (pet peeves). Wheel well trim, Charger sail panel scripts, tail light panels painted black (especially 68s), OEM side mirror(s), chrome bumpers etc.

Yea I know I'm boring

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Man that thing is fuuuuuuu-uuuuuugly!

[Daytona R/T SE]

It's fucking hideous. 

[TPR]

The only shot that looks good is the second one.
Not for me.

I always thought that the restoration/customization was not free, that you or someone had to pay for it, or taxes or something like parts. And Foose and his team did all the work 

[Cncguy]

Foose really hates Door handles though.

[rt green]

I have'nt seen the show for years, but I always thought, hey let some people fake rip off your car and turn it into some hacks vision. yeh, just how I didn't want it. thanks.

[A383Wing]

The Mom of the kid contacted Foose about the car....it was her late husbands if I'm not mistaken....she wanted the kid to have the car all done up...she had to pay Foose for the work...nothing is free.....

when time came around for the unveiling of the car to the kid....he walked in with skateboard in hand and when he saw the car, he could care less....no emotion, no thank yous to anyone.....everyone was stunned....even Mom....so I'm guessing here that Mom is trying to re-coup some of her money she sunk into the car for her brat kid who is still probably carrying around his skateboard.....

and yes, the car is ugly all over except the paint job.....but it's still a pig even if you put lipstick on it

WOW she paid for it and it wasn't for free?  I know if foose does a car for a person as part of the show they pay only taxes, but in this case she paid it all?

[sixty-niner]

I remeber that episode, that punk kid could not have cared less.  what a waste!!!
I like hte car though!! should have left in the gauges.

....it was her late husbands if I'm not mistaken....

He'd be turning in his grave.

The wheels suck and I hate two tone paint jobs, but other than that Foose's work is impressive to me.  I guess some of you guys still refuse to accept the idea of hot rodding or personalization.  Personally, I welcome something other than the usual factory style restoration effort.  That stuff's been done to death...

What he said   

[RCCDrew]

I thought it was ugly until I saw the engine. 

[GOTWING]

Every Mopar he does looks like ass. For some reason a lot of the GM and Fords look pretty good, but he ruins the Mopars ! I could live with the paint on this but the shaker is dumb interior is not my taste and the wheels look like my dogs ass. 

[Aero426]

So.  Much. Suck.
