This car is being debated on the Chevelle site if it is a 69 or a 70.  All things I can see are pointing to that it's a 70 with a 69 front clip.  i decoded the VIN using the decoder from stockmopar.com and it says the same thing.  Not sure if someone on this sight owns it or not.  One of the guys on the Chevelle site is interested in buying it.

it's what I would do to a 70!  I love those door scoops.  How douche would it be to put a set on my 68?  I have always thought those were so cool, and you don't really notice the scallops in the door anyway without them..

Vin tag tells all. Its a '70. Int. door panels are '69 seats are '70. Radio is a '70 style also, round knobs vs. roller. I wonder what became of the front clip and '70 door panels?

Dash is definitely a '70 - no flasher switch.  Steering column is a '70 also (steering wheel center is '70 style), and the radiator core support is a '70 as well (has the provisions for the different grille support).

Someone went to a lot of trouble to do that - I wonder if they plumbed in the vacuum for the headlight actuators, or if the retro-fitted the electric motors?

To make a 70 RT to a 69 hotrod is sad, even thou it looks nice...

I'd say  it's a70, but I'm certainly not the most expert over here!

To each his own, if thats the way he wnts his car, it doesn't matter what anyone else likes.  Ive seen people do much worse to nice chargers.

looks like a great job on the resto from what i can see..  :scope:but someone didnt like the '70 loop... at that price it's a bit high for an incorrectly done car but more power to em...
i'd drive the snot out of it... that's a '70 color too...

Looks like whoever put that bumblebee stripe on picked a bad day to quit sniffin' glue.  :o :scared: :scared: :o
Probably the same guy that grafted that '69 nose on.  :rotz:

By the time one located a '70 front clip and then had to respray the body, and trunk and located the proper interior pieces...well it'd be easier to start with a complete '70. If you want a '69 that bad, buy one.

Maybe the thing was front ended and he had access to a toasted '69? Whatever  - Frankenchargers are really odd.

For once we agree.  :cheers:  ;D

This car was shopped on ebay a while back. If it was a true '69, it probably would have sold by now, and if it had the correct front for a '70, it probably would have sold by now. The guy has a complete cluster-f.

Is that stripe on backwards?  Guess it was hard with the '70 sidelight.  Since we're pointing out '69 or '70 only pieces, did anyone notice the '70 gas tank?
