Is this a well done Clone?

[runninhorn]

yea yea it's a clone, but i just want something to enjoy, and change a bit

I just want something to take to local shows, and drive daily. Does it resemble a 71 R/T? or could a charger guy tell it was a 72 cloned?

[bordin34]

I wouldn't be able to tell except for the 440 emblem on the dash, the VIN, and I think that an R/T would have an orange painted engine.

Its not very well done as a clone at all.  It looks like a nice custom car but its really a stretch to call that a clone. 

He didnt even put RT doors on it.

[70charger_boy]

very very nice, but I wouldn't pay 25 grand for it.  I like that 68 you posted earlier

[Brock Samson]

it's a 71/72 SE/RT kinda' sorta,.. alsothe side markers are wrong too many 440 logos all over the place too,.. for 25 Gs you could do better... IMO. or offer 20..   

[runninhorn]

yea, im gonna keep looking.

I went to the TDC in Boerne, Tx this weekend, enjoyed it, but man, im now more confused than ever. I "thought" I knew what I wanted, but when I saw cars in person, that amount at once, it just confused me even more, just undecided on what kind of car to pursue.

I was in Forth Worth, earlier in the week and went to a musclecar shop called American Automobilia. They had one sick looking 68 charger, along with 'cudas, chally's.  Try checking them out

I would suggest (if at all possible) driving one of each.  Ive never driven a 1st gen but driving a 2nd and 3rd gen are 2 completely different things.

I like it . I think red 71 RT with a black stripe, hood blackout and black vinyl top looks awesome!

[runninhorn]

this is what i want to do with a hemi orange 70 R/T if i go that year charger.

I also agree with Brock. To many 440 emblems. Nice car other then that. I'd drive it.

[Nacho-RT74]

Nice 72... definitelly yes.
Nice Clone... definitelly NO
Nice custom Job... Yes

I'm agree about to many 440s emblems ( plus license plates LOL)

Sway bar is the incorrect one... that is 73 and laters kind. Any way he didn't use the plates. I made instead that kinda brackets mounted on axle ( welded ) . I was doing that once when I got my NOS sway bar locally, without plates, but I preffer on those days wat for teh right plates, since I wanted a completelly stock car.

i thought you wanted a daytona clone?

[70charger_boy]

i thought you wanted a daytona clone?

He's keeping his options open

[runninhorn]

Id take any decently done clone. Daytona, R/T, whatever, just dont want a hack job, perfume pig, that is all.

[runninhorn]

well i just got back. I flew out to vegas to look at it this weekend, and PERFUME PIG is surely is. wow it looked bad in person, so glad i flew out there. It isnt worth $11k in my opinion.

[BigBlockSam]

what was so bad? looks pretty good in the pics. that was smart of you to go look at it.    Rene

[runninhorn]

it just had alot of little details not done. It was sitting next to a $350k mercedes, and just alot of stuff wasnt done like it should have been under the hood and inside.

[Charger1973]

Sucks to be let down... but man, I bet you are glad you went and looked in person.  I know I would be. 

Theres plenty of nice ones out there.  Are you just looking for a nice Charger in general or a clone car specifically? 

[runninhorn]

anything 4 speed.
