Everyone appears to be assuming that these cars were ordered by 'someone'. What about 'Dealer stock' cars? How/ who/ what created them?

At the dealership I work at, vehicles for stock / our inventory, are ordered by the sales dept manager or a salesman he asks to place an order. They order what they think will sell. I assume that is the common way it is done.

I had a 70 Charger R / T that was a loaded car that was dealer ordered to be the showroom floor eye candy piece. It was a plum crazy purple car with a white top,tail stripe, and interior. It had AC,power windows, six way seat,painted racing mirrors, 15 inch rallye wheels, go wing,AM 8 track radio,V21 and V24 hood treatment too. The sticker was $5200.

And you sold such a beautiful car for what reason?

It was a rusty New England car that a tree fell on,so I used it to build the Charger convertible! Had I known that sheetmetal would be available to save the car back in the late eighties, I probably would have stashed it away and restored it.

I have some photos somewhere but in the early 90s I had for couple years a 69 B5, H code, 4spd, AC (could not get an RT 4spde w/AC).  First time my then girlfriend (no wife) ever drove a charger and was accelerated crazy hitting 3rd gear... towards a culvert bridge..... had to yell at her to slow down.  Her response was something of the sorts "I thought Chargers could be jumped..."   I think the car went up to Ohio as I recall.  Always wondered what ever became of it.. Cool car.
