Custom car from the 70s

[Paasken]

Charger 69 RT maching numbers. Trailer queen from the early 70s. Still in same shape.
Pics from a car show in Norway in 2015.

Mural, side pipes, wheel well flares, dual antennas, it has it all! (there has to be a disco mirror ball inside somewhere)

[crj1968]

Groovy !

[charger chris]

That looks great.

[Drache]

Pictures of this charger are as old as the internet!

[Homerr]

I just look at it and see $$ to convert it back to stock.

[charger01]

Guy used to drive it around Dayton Ohio all the time.  He had it listed for sale for around 15,000. around 2000-2001 I believe.

Yup.

Looks like it also has rear tail pipes, so the side pipes are just for show?

[Stretch]

I like it. I'm not sure why. I much prefer original.  I can't think of any "custom" car that I thought looked good. This one does something for me. .

Here's another. LEON.

I couldn't live with that barrel right in the centre of the cylinder like that.

I like the car as is because it's a time capsule. I remember seeing cars like this when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and now most of them are gone.

Have a sense of history.  Leave this green car as-is.  

Not every old custom should be preserved.  But this one was a perfect classic example of the era, it's well known, and it's in great shape.  


Mostly stock 2nd-gen Chargers are more expensive than rare.  Go shopping with a blank check and you can find dozens of them for sale any time you want.  

[igozumn]

Yeah, I'd leave it the way it is.  That Magnum Force '70 a couple posts up......    I'd roll in that any day of the week!!!!!

Judging by the slapper bars they also didn't know how the MOPAR rear suspension works.

Glad to see the Beachcomber alive and well and not converted back to stock like a bunch of people here wanted...

I remember it looking slightly different in the really old pictures. The grill was "modded" at the time or something? 

[Paasken]

Dodge charger 69 grille is an icon  so i gave it
the orignal face....back to stock
And E-T turbine wheels...from the 70s era.
Now its give me a smile when i look st it...

[Old Moparz]

I've always liked that car, glad to see it was left alone.

too...there are some nice examples of custom jobs from yesteryear that have survived & I'm glad they haven't been stripped of that part of their history. Like this Daytona, for example, which I believe is still wearing it's paint job from the period...



Now, this one I have no problem returning back to stock.

[Drache]

Cant sleep so here are some more custom paints from my picture collection

[VegasCharger]

Glad to see the Beachcomber alive and well and not converted back to stock like a bunch of people here wanted...

[alfaitalia]

Some interesting 70 custom cars there.....some I like (the purple one with the flamed roof and the rainbow arches (fenders!) is cool)....some I'm not so keen on (the spoiler on the red flamed one??...well what can I say. I'm a child of the 70s and would have laughed at that back then)!

[Paasken]

Thanks for sharing this photos.
Some of these pics and cars is from Sweden...
Europe...

[alfaitalia]

Yep we love our Mopars in Europe too......and in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark etc) they have loads of them!

[ACUDANUT]

Drugs and paint, don't make it cool.

[Charger_Fan]

Nice collection Drache, thanks for posting those!

[dual fours]

Deache nice collection, Thanks. Anybody know why the Photos in "Reply #29", photo #1 of the 69' and #18 of the 68' has the side markers up on the sides higher?
Edit: The 68 may have been my eyes

I don't know about the '68. But on the '70, I would guess that the owner decided the lights would look better in the middle of the body line. It does look kinda funky.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Those photos were fun to look at, but . . . . . . . . . some things are better left alone. 

[Drache]

Nice collection Drache, thanks for posting those!
