Paul Sr. Selling his 68 Hemi Charger

[DC_1]

He didn't own it very long....he sure isn't hurting for cash.....wonder why he is selling it.

I see he is selling a matching chopper with it.

[472 R/T SE]

The bike looks cool, IMO.

Maybe he read my posts about the wrong upper door pad color and was ashamed...

Actually, that description is a lie. It says "never been restored, just one repaint" but that car was for sale at several major shows with a giant posterboard advertising the restoration before Paul finally "found it". That's when I picked up on the claimed attention to detail and the mismatched door pads.

Was there a thread on this car before?

Several probably.

Don't get me wrong - it's a very nice car. I was just annoyed by the description bragging about the restorers attention to detail when the very first thing you spot are the black pads in a white interior. Also, the magazine article about Paul Sr.'s Hemi cars makes it sound like the cars are so difficult to find that he had to pay someone to help find one. It had to be the easiest money ever since this one made the rounds for an entire summer with no takers before he got it.

got the color wrong for 68 to, there was no B5 Blue in 68..............

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I also spy the 68 Coronet R/T dash medallion as well

Well, I guess we should just send that P.O.S to the crusher because of those mis-matched door pads. 

[bull]

It's just a money-making deal. Since Paul's butt warmed the seat for ten minutes some slobbering fool will pay extra for it.

The bike is cool. I like the scallops on the tank, the stripe and the Magnum 500 wheels.

I hope those occ guys die in a plane crash.  They are so money hungry.  Remind me of used car salesmen

.....wonder why he is selling it.

The HEMI scared him.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

you know, Barrett-Jackson pride themselves on selling top quality cars and having all the correct info.  I bet they would love to know all about this thread.  It will only make them look bad if it comes out......

makes me wonder how much other bad info I've gotten from them. 

[Chris G.]

wonder why he is selling it.

Is that a serious question? He's doing just what everyone else does. He will have another Mopar, probably by the end of the weekend.

This is just another reason why MCG is losing it's grass roots image (they anointed themselves that). Another cover car being sold within months of having it featured. They even promote B-J now. It's so sad what this magazine has become. You would think with all the spotlight, one of these B-Rated celebs that gets pasted on the cover would get Rob to cut his 1978 mullet. Oh well, maybe he is still "keeping that real".

Am I mistaken, I thought all 440 & hemi Chargers were R/T cars, and all R/T cars had a console. Could you special order it with the buddy seat?

[bull]

Not all R/Ts had consoles.

[Chris G.]

Not all R/Ts had consoles.

And not all Consoles had R/T's.

Let me just quote this before he decides to edit . I think we have a new Silver on our hands. Congrats on graduating Silver, you 'da man.

You could only get the 440 or Hemi on an R/T but the console was an option on every Charger - just like the tach.

Yeah well, if the sign would have said "we did the best we could with the best parts we could find" then I'd congratulate them for making such a nice car. However, don't brag about its perfection when anyone who isn't blind can see the flaws from 60 feet away. It puts a slight dent in the credibility of the resto shop.

Hey, they only made 475 of them so they can't all be perfect. At least it's got the correct VIN. I believe that car is turquoise too but it's been almost two years since I saw it in person. It will be interesting to hear what the announcers blab on about when that car is on the block.

Maybe its the magazine who's got it wrong about the car. I know of a few guys who like to own cool toys, but really don't know that much about them. I'm sure a guy like Paul Sr. has a "Guy" who handles these kinds of things for him ie: info about the car etc..... And although its "incorrect", thats not the first 68 Charger I've seen with a white interior that had either black or blue upper pads.
I kinda like it like that.....just my

I remember that car from the hotel, didn't know it was the same one.

[69_500]

Hey Troy, I thought you knew every 68 personally frontwards and backwards.



It wasn't turquoise, or at least it wasn't painted that when we saw it at several shows over 2 summers ago.

Exactly !  Those clowns annoy me....just a bunch of "posers" jumping in on the Mopar craze.
