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.

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

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

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. .
I may be schizophrenic but at least I have us!

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.

Yeah, I'd leave it the way it is.  That Magnum Force '70 a couple posts up...... :2thumbs:   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.
