3rd gen charger guys post your pics

[Rallye]

I had Photoshoped versions of mine with the spoiler(s) that left me unsure if I wanted to add them or not...

I did a similar thing before adding mine.  My thinking is just the opposite of Foreman and Nacho.  I absolutely had to have the wing, but was unsure of the chin spoiler.  Now 71383bee is looking so good, I'm thinking maybe both...

And don't worry Nacho, no one will confuse our Chargers with ricers.

[Nacho-RT74]

haha, well yes I know, but still, the wing looks too much out of the car... very diff on a 70 mustang mach1 with louvers, where looks just right!

I like a lot the wing idea on the 3rd gen prototipe around, very similar to the 300 Hurst, but not this

[SeattleCharger]

whoa, I thought that photoshop with the wing was a 92 honda civic ricer, til I read that you photoshoped it onto a 3rd gen charger.   

[1972Rallye]

Yeah... I don't really get the ricer thing. I've always thought the '71 gull wings looked awesome.  The wing Nacho was referring to is below.  It would have made the car look too much like a '69 GTO in my opinion.

I kind of like that wing too...

The B body pedestal is better IMHO. 

I dunno I added the options I would have if I was alive and ordered it back then.  Hell after 71 they weren't even an option and by 73 the performance style options really dropped off.  You were pretty much limited to a bulge hood, a stripe on the side and rims. 

72 was the last hurrah really with a rallye package that was still cosmetically different than the rest of the lineup...excluding SE which had the different 1/4 window and tailights.

I like the prototype wing.
I love fc7 Chargers/bees and if I change colors that would be the color. Did anyone ever see fc8?

[bordin34]

Some pictures of my car, I think a front spoiler and louvers would go fine on it. The wing may look out of place

And a picture from when I replaced the starter

Nice Pics Bordin  about the wing, it makes you wonder if that prototype Charger is still around... or even just the wing? I never use to like any kind of Spoliers on 3rd Gens but over the years your tastes change I now like the rear spoilers (factory) still not so sure about the chin spoilers though maybe I just need more time

That is sweet!

I always liked the 73/74 Se's with the opera window...very nice cars.

The pic is of a clay model that was done in the design studio - way before the prototype stage.  I guarantee it isn't around anymore. If you notice, the car is different on the other side.  Its something they do to show different possibilities/options on the same full-sized clay.

Bordin - Nice!

Thanks for the info Bobby    like it or not, it would have been cool if they had made one.

Yeah I think it needs something on the back...B body pedestal wing and louvers would look cool.  Not sure if its an early 72 or not.  The early ones had 71 trunk lids with the pre fabed mounts.  

With a build date of 4/11 I am guess ing that it has the standard 72 lid without the spoilers mounts.

It might be me or my computer but do those resto photos show it more of a turquoise color?  

They do look a bit off... I think its the lighting (southwestern U.S. maybe?).

I had Photoshoped versions of mine with the spoiler(s) that left me unsure if I wanted to add them or not...

I have the rear wing on the back of my 71.....and I'm trying to get a front spoiler as well.
BUT....for what it's worth, I don't think it suits your calour. I think your car looks much cleaner as it is.

 Dang, For a moment I thought someone stole my 72 Blue Rallye. I gotta show you mine.  It will have to wait until spring though. Dang winter.

I definitely agree with the above. The side marker lights look like they're drawn on the quarter panels. I like the spoiler design, and the degree measurements for ajusting the pitch angle just makes my technical mind happy. I think this particular spoiler is a direct offshoot of both the Daytona/Superbird efforts, and the SuperCharger show car which also featured a similar design.

I like the look of the rear spoiler on 3rd gens. I could go either way with the chin spoiler but think a black rear spoiler would look good on my son's white 72 charger. I know I can get a 69-70 mustang rear spoiler for around $120. Think that would look good on his with the stripe?

I think it would look good but why not get the real deal  I'm wondering, since you have the stripe if you add the spoiler would it be roughly in the same position where you have the stripe?

[oldrock]

Re spoilers for chargers, do others just use the ones that are designed for modern chargers or are there vintage ones reproduced?

[mikesbbody]

They are reproduced, I can't remember the name of the place right now I will look into it I'm sure someone here will know and will chime in 

[71383bee]

For spoilers go to fpap.  Or First Place Auto Products.  They are THE AUTHORITY on true mopar pedestal spoilers.  Anyone elsa either buys from them or uses a cheap nock off.
