[Mytur Binsdirti]

.......or at least keep you focusing on the multitude of faults.

Time and time again I see guys bitch about quality of these cars. Why not do some good and elaborate on your thoughts? I see a few things that are not factory correct but nothing that warrants being bashed or insulted.
I saw the rear valance (Pronounced VAA-Lance not VAY-Lance like I hear some people say) corner seams filled in. The trunk floor looks to have been patched. Underhood isn't stock but it wasn't intended to be. The grille isn't perfect, no radiator blackout either.
Why not make yourself useful and be specific?

Korn Dog, I'll be specific here. Where are the welds that hold the new floor in place? Should not be a gap between torsion bar crossmember or trans crossmember or frame rails, ect. I see this all the time. The Typical ameture will just weld around the outside edge of new floor & that's it. While the middle of the floor just hangs suspended in mid air & with a 1/4 inch to 1 inch gap between the new floor & frame rails ect. Here's a pic to better show what I'm saying. LEON.

In reality, when I called it a mediocre car, I was being kind. Here goes.....

Twisted front bumper, no wheelwell moldings, gloss paint on the tail panel, no time to make the replacement rear quarters look factory, no drain holes cut out in the replacement floor & trunk pans, painted armrest bases, painted red on the insides of the doors, a/c dash & no a/c firewall, crappy aftermarket engine compartment harness, sloppy welds on the bottom of the rear valance, bottoms of rear bumper guards hanging in the breeze, painted door jamb switches, incorrect seat upholstery, missing hood bumpers, missing washer bottle, convolute covering on all wiring (barf), missing front bumper guards, painted on stripe, wrong horn, door attachment bolts not painted, wire-tied transmission cooler lines, door bumpers missing, crappy front sway bar bushing kit, missing emergency brake pad, heater hoses not connected, painted heater box nuts & upper control arm nuts & hardware, battery cables, old crusty front end & K-frame, 1 seat frame nut missing, painted underneath to make it look less bad, hardware store bolts holding front valance, missing bezel around defogger switch, crappy fitting upper dash pad cover, hood pins, 3' long exhaust tips, missing fender tag, battery strap, missing Charger emblem in grille, missing Charger emblem & insignia in tail panel, bubbling chrome on the door handles, wrong PS pump cap (and most likely pump), hardware store bolts on front of engine, wrong radiator, fan shroud, hood turn signal wiring missing.

I'm sure there's more, but that's a start.

[DAY CLONA]

The track ready suspension is a noted "plus"...

[VegasCharger]

I'm sure there's more, but that's a start.

Hey Mark you missed antenna base and painted fuel filler tube.

[Kern Dog]

Leon, Thank you for pointing out the floor pan. I did not notice that before. Great point.  Thanks to you too R/C.
See, if people are going to throw out a bad opinion, it HELPS the hobby when the faults are exposed. We can help others learn what to look for when buying one. It helps us enthusiasts see what mistakes to avoid with our own cars. I did see the crooked front bumper and that the grille was not perfect. Wheelwell moldings are sometimes left off for various reasons. Factory looking quarters? Like how? What needs to be done to appear like OEM? Again, I ask because it isn't clear to me and the info may help myself and others.

[darbgnik]

I noticed the floor pans gap, as well as the floor patches being visible in one picture. Also noticed the quarter panel attachment inside the door jamb smoothed out completely.
I wouldn't call it a POS however.


But to be honest, I noticed her a lot more......

[Bronzedodge]

I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers.   The doorjambs of the car have the texture of an orange, or maybe a beach.   

[Kern Dog]

I don't recall the angle of the rear shocks on my 70 looking quite the same. These look like the top mounts are closer together making the shocks less effective.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Factory looking quarters? Like how? What needs to be done to appear like OEM?

Replacement quarters have about half as much more metal on the loper edge behind the wheelwells and throughout the whole perimeter of the wheelwell. if you put wheelwell moldings on that car, the metal would hang out beyond the molding by about 3/8" which looks stupid.

It's a totally amateur "restoration" done by a complete hack, and it would cost more to straighten that car out than it's worth....which is far below his 45 large asking price.

Threads like this are the male equivalent of women gossiping about another female behind their back.

And a reminder why Mopar only shows are no fun.

It's an overpriced '68 driver behind an attractive '90 model with upgraded headlights.

And it shows that even though you drive a " pile of shit", you can still have a hot chick.

[BDF]

I was going to comment on the Cotter pins and then never EVER post any more pictures of my car.
Not really- It's a driver with MANY imperfections. 

[alfaitalia]

Agreed.....and why mine will have no photos on here until complete and even then only taken from about 500 yards away!

You guys are much too harsh for that! Lol

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Or borrow one.   

[chargerboy69]

And someone hit the Buy It Now at $45000.00. . . . WTF.  The last six months watching these prices I feel like I am in some alternative universe where up is down and black is white and Miley Cyrus actually is a talented singer.. Just 10 months ago I dont think this POS would have brought half of this.


All I know, for $45000.00 I sure hope the long, cool, woman in a black dress is included in the price of the car.

Browse for the chevelle and her yawning in the passenger seat, you'll know if you fit!
