Thank you Troy. You are the best!

Well, I feel weird answering now that this thread is all over the map but...

it was a good time. I had no idea what I was looking at for most of it though. I'm glad you made it home safely!

so how much did you pay for that sweet find?

Nice job Troy!!  Way to come through!!       Yeah this thread did wander alittle . .

Side note, but there actually was 2 hood options for a 69 Charger. One being what was on all Charger's except for 503. The other being the hood that was on the Daytona's. So us second generation guys also have choices. Oh and by the way the hoods for the second generations are unique to each year.

Did anybody ever hear of a master fabricator named Jesse James?  I bet he can make a bulge hood out of beer cans and toilet paper and it won't cost him 5 grand

BTW, his speciality is street bikes, not cars. He has maybe done a car or 2 but he is a bike man.

He may have talent with bikes but all I've ever seen the "Beaner" wanna be is take a POS vehicle and make a bigger POS vehicle out of it.  My

Unlike the 2nd gens with only one style hood  .
Us 3rd gen guys and gals got choices.

That technically may be the case, but I will take my plain hood and my seat at the HEAD table as usual. You keep reaching and someday you may be within arms length of us boring hooded 68-70 guys...but I doubt it.

Good one! Third gen owners can afford a $3,000 hood when you can buy a nice third gen for 1/3 the price of a second gen

If I told you what I paid for the hood you probally would not believe me. The person I purchased the hood from knows that I am going to enjoy it on my Charger  and not flip it.
I agree on the hood price and the cost of a 2nd gen. I am partial to a 3rd gen. That is my favorite Charger.
I am not into this hobby to make money, Mopars & 3rd gen RR, Satrellite, Charger give me a muscle car hard on. That is what I like, regardless of value.
You could die and what would the $ mean?
I want to live life enjoying  my favorite Charger.  
But anything bad ass and limited will cost some $.
The thing is, that 2 Mopar (Charger) fans helped me out and that is what it is all about.
   You may say I am retarded, but I would rather have a 71' R/T or 73 Rally than a 2nd gen even R/T, any day.
We are all Mopar & Charger fans right? Then that is all that matters.
I am very lucky to have scored on that hood, to me it is like the cherry on the sundae.

[70charger_boy]

I hope you didn't take any offense to what I said.  I just am the type of person that makes due with what I have and would never justify spending the crazy money on the hood, but if you got a deal on it then thats cool.  You have a good head on ur shoulders and thats what I like and yes it's a charger.  I, too, like all chargers

[BMOTOXSTAR]

No offense taken.
Alot of people rag on 3rd gens but I really do like all Chargers and many ,many Mopars.3rd are my first favorite.

A Charger is a Charger is a Charger. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and YES, even a 4th generation. It is nice to know that our moderator is the kind of guy he is. He's a better person than I am. Admittedly so.

Sad but true. We are catching up though.
Boring hooded 68-70 guys, good one Chris.
I to one day will have my special hood, well probably not. $$$$

Here is what I can afford. Darn, I'm outbid already.

Oh no,
  Looks like I am at a bidding war with a site member. 
The seller has listed a few of these. I need one for my model collection.

[Bob]

Above my limit already, good luck. It could get ugly with a bidding war.
