Dan,

I heard that as well and the owner was nowhere to be found....One of my good friends was hanging with you a bit at Carlisle.  Sometimes a big world is small, PM me if you do not know whom that person is...

"Coronet" is what they should have called the 4 door sedan they put out 10+ years ago.....instead of calling it "Charger". 

And before anyone gets upset, think about it.....is there a 4 door Camaro or Mustang? 

I have been preaching this from the top of Mt. Sinai since 2006.  Yet we keep calling those Chrysler 300's with Dodge body kits; "Chargers".

It was a few years ago but I'm pretty sure I recall that guy being around his car trying to convince people it was real.

What I wonder is:

*- If factory, they went through a lot of trouble to mod those front doors. Why not add the center body line on the Coronet parts, or remove it from the Charger?

*- If factory, they went through a lot of trouble to mod those front doors and add a flip top gas cap. Why not add the Charger tailpanel to complete the package?

I WANT to believe, but it is incomplete work. You would figure if they were going to go out and modify doors and add a flip top gas cap, those same fabricators would do the tailpanel mods, to either accept the deck lid of the Coronet, or a modified Charger?

Occam's Razar.  It's a backyard job.


I wish the factory HAD built those things - lots of little Charger front & rearend parts would be so much cheaper if they had been used on zillions of 4drs.

I hear you!  Hence why GM parts are so cheap (Cutlass, Chevelle, skylark, etc.)

So is it a Corger? A Charnet??

There isn't a 4 door charger to my knowledge. Just a falsely badged something-rather.

I think it's a Chargerina.

Although I don't own one, this is a good benefit owning a Coronet, GTX and Roadrunner. More cars to pillage for parts.

Great thinking.

You guys are the worst bunch of crotchety mopar children ever - this is not directed at ECS but the rest of you.
While Ted is given a free pass to re-body a Daytona you all are wallowing in opinionated opinions about a 4 door Mexican Charger...

I apologize for giving my opinion that the rear half looks like a Coronet.

Yikes...another beneficial Tom Q post

Define rebody of this 4 door charger?  Inquiring minds would like to know.......

BTW, have you kept abreast on the Stephens build?  You may want to check out the aero section before making wrong comments...

Just saying, lol

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Personally, I prefer to keep abreast on a breast. Or two.

------------------------------      
   

Mopar won't call the modern 4dr LX Charger a "Coronet" for the same reason why Ford builds a new Taurus but not a Fairlane or Galaxie.  Some classic names sound too dated for modern buyers.  

The Charger name was chosen a decade ago just because the name tested favorably with modern buyers, not because they were building any retro 68-70 car or 1999 concept car.  (And Daimler/Benz publicly said all this.  They said it months/years before the car debuted.)

The Challenger name probably withstood testing for 2008 too, if the outcry over the '06 Charger and the high-selling retro '05 Mustang wasn't enough convincing.

I'd lower it and drive it.
