Pictures of "Not so perfect" driver chargers?

[h76]

Anybody got any pictures of driver chargers that are strictly drivers(any shape from just barely on the road to ok drivers)?
Contemplating what route to go with my 68-thinking about just primering it black and running it. Any thoughts out there?

[Schuler]

Here is my driver. Its unrestored and missing some paint. But I drive it on the street (an strip once in awhile) and beat the crap out of it. If you see it on a trailer...it has definitely been stolen.

When I get my 68 it will be flat black with black rims!!!!! I love that look! 

[Khyron]

take a close look, she has a few bumps and bruises, but she's driven often.

Well... the reason I haven't posted much in the last month I just finished a 4600 mile roadtrip across the US with my 68' Charger... so would I consider it a driver?... abso-friggin'-loutely... You can have the nicest car on the planet, but if it isn't sorted out and I mean every aspect of it, then the car is useless...

Build your cars to drive them... regardless of how nice they are. BTW - I would leave work right now and jump in and turn the key with no worries whatsoever.... that car is just as reliable as my wifes' 06' Honda Accord.... and looks a lot better going down the road.

I would not describe that as not so perfect.  It looks pretty sweet.

been thinking the same thing myself h76, black primer is just so badass, right CB? 

friends say i should paint it gloss black or purple, but there is a lot of bodywork and things to be done, and when i look at this picture....

Hey, glad someone remeber my flat black 69.
I like it a lot but she will be painted back to B5 Blue any time next year (I hope)
She needs front end work, brakes and trans stuff. But she drives, sounds wicked (Flowmaster mufflers) and get all the looks

[CB]

cool, huh?

I hate you....

[1968 Charger B5]

Hey yea black primer is cool.  Well I drive my roadrunner everyday except in the winter where I drive my shitty pickup around.  My charger is in decent shape, but the paint has bad orange peel that i will have to take care of later, and wimpy 14 inch rims/tires.   But not bad for a 22 year old huh?

just click here its in my profile pics

What good is it having a car that you aren't afraid to drive it when you want. I hate the people who have the " tralier queens" who are afraid to drive it somewhere because they might get it dirty. The only problem is that I have too many to drive very often. What a problem, what shall I drive today. 70 Challenger T/A, 66 Charger,79 Little Red, 73 340 Duster or just the Dakota R/T, Durango or Quadcab 4x4. I say drive the wheels of it.

[NYCMille]

"79 Little Red" - BITCHEN!! I love those trucks... any pics!

[Charger_Fan]

and looks a lot better going down the road.

[Mefirst]

Here is my beat up wagon... Looks nice from a distance, but look closely you would see the many battle scars on her body... and yes, she is a driver not a trailer queen...

Its not so bad but the trim and interior are pretty beat up, and with the price of parts and my general laziness it'll probably never be a show car

[Johnny SixPack]

She's definitely aint' pretty:



But she starts every time, and drives like a champ.

Pretty much a daily driver by all accounts, and she's treated as such.

Still wearing her original F3 green paint (except for the donor pass. front q-panel and door).

DEAR GOD I LOVE YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deputycrawford]

My car looks good in these pictures because I'm hiding the driver's side damage to the front fender and rear quarter. I have had the engine out by this time, as you can tell. I wanted it to look stockish but, as one of the magazines said, "go like stink." it has around 485 HP and should finish the 1340 in around 12.70. The first link will show you my office and the Charger. The second link will just show you the Charger.

My jalopy Its definitely not perfect notice the water marks on the front bumper and the front valence doesn't line up exactly as it should. It also has a nice scratch on the passenger door where some jerk-ass hit it with their car door along with the various dings and such. It adds to the character.

[BigBlockSam]

i  had a great time with my charger when in was flat black. i never worried about paint or scratchs . now the car is painted and i'm always watching out for the paint. i might leave my next charger in black primer . less stress. Rene

My 98 Neon broke down and I haven't had the time to fix her so I've been driving the Charger for the last month.  She looks good from a distance, but she's rough when you look closely.

mine in sig was my daily until this year-now i get a company car so she is a weekend warrior

[High Impact]

Here's mine.  Just bought it a couple weeks ago from an ANGRY   old guy that thought it was the baddest thing in town.   It runs "ok" but being a Michigan car.......its got some rust, but will be a fun car to pound on.  (440-4speed loaded fender tag!)

That picture doesnt count anymore. The car is a garage queen now aint that right blusmbl?

[Lightning]

Keep them coming guys! These ones are truly good........I've finally got a line on a '71 Satellite, hopefully by February I'll have it.

[konigcharger]

my 73 its very far  from perfect

[Drache]

Personally I think the hottest chargers are the ones painted flat/rattle can black, big tires, and an engine under the hood that makes the devil sit up and take notice! 

[Ghoste]

Well, mine qualifies for this thread.  It photographs okay but when you see it live, it needs a LOT of work.  We're getting there bit by bit though.

[Lost Sheep]

This is my baby. My first Charger and it has sentimental value already because My Dad and I Repieced it back together. I am proud to own this car even though it isnt near restored. I just cant afford to restore it being in college and all.

I have since spraycan painted over most of the rust and it actually doesn't look half bad now. But I ran out before I could paint the front valance,hood,cowl,and roof(after I remove the vinyl top.

I wouldn't say I drive it "daily" but it is a driver, goes anywhere in the summer season, and just ran 12.82@106 on the 1/4 in september.

Yea, it is.  It runs very well for a stock hemi car.  I may restore it someday, if I can finish some other projects first.
