So I was just sitting here watching tv and the door bell rings....I go answer it and there is this guy asking if we wanted to sell the charger (it is out on the driveway).  Itell him no way and he says yeah it figures, you can never find these cars..what year is it? Is it a real R/T?  Ok if you are looking at buying a car wouldn' you already be able to realize it is a 68 (not a 69 or 70 like he asked if it was).  Even I can tell the difference between all three years of second gens.  I can give him a little leway on the R/T question, but don't true R/T have those door scoop thingys?  DUH!!

[ramit]

Only 1970 R/T 's have the door scoops.

[68chrgrwife]

ok so i'm not the smartest on these things, but that is why I don't buy the cars hubby does.....lol

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

door scoop thingys?

How cute!

[68chrgrwife]

yeah I am a chick, but I am a chick who loves cars!

[Charger_Fan]

Must have just started noticing Chargers from the latest DOH movie, or Bullrun & the only thing he knows about them is that they're COOL!

[68chrgrwife]

yeah he seemed pretty niave...a little on the young side (about a year or two younger than me).  He just seemed real impressed by our car...Now I know we have done a lot of work, but it is nowhere near show quality....I don't know......

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

yeah I am a chick, but I am a chick who loves cars!

Thats why we like ya!

People ask all the time if I want to sell a car, most of them don't have a clue what they are looking at "door thingies" or not.   They just like the way it looks.  I consider it a compliment when they ask.

So now my car has cute door thingys.........OiVey!

[70charger_boy]

You know what?  I can leave my trans am outside and nobody wants to buy it, but yesterday when I was taking pics of my charger to post on this site I had all kinds of people stopping on the side of the road and asking me if I want to sell.  Then they have to ask me what year the car is?  WTF..

I feel your pain  P.S.  My charger doesn't have the cute little door scoop thingies, but if you know anybody who's selling one let me know

i know you and hubby wouldnt sell, but just for fun it would have been interesting if you asked him what he was willing to offer then tell him "your not even close..."

When I had my yellow bumblebee striped 69, I lived at a house on a main cut through in town, 30,000 cars per day are on that road.  EVERY weekend I had a bunch of nuts ringing the doorbell wanting to buy my car, parked in the driveway behind other cars, no where near the road or anything, I moved it inside the fenced back yard up in some bushes and they still pestered me to death about it.

It's one thing to stop and talk about the car, but mostly they all started the same...  "Hey!  You wanta sell that charger, or what?"

My reply would always be sure.

they'd be like "Really?"

"Naw, just messing with ya"

[Charger1973]

I get that all the time too, having my car outside along a busy county highway.  I cant wait to move.

[rt green]

you sound like one hell of a woman. good for you and your hubby to be able to enjoy the same hobby.  the person that came by and was interested in the charger may not have known his ass from a hole in the ground, but he knew what he liked. sure is something that a design as old as it is still gets  all of the attention it does. its amszing if you think about it. hey, it got all of us didn't it? it  just looks fast sitting still. now if only Detroit would have the same attitude, we wouldn't have all of these forgin cars around.  my 2  cents.

Hey I never said cute....

[68chrgrwife]

BTW hubby said I should have told him $25,000.  I said no dice...I wouldn't sell the car for triple that....me, the girls, and hubby worked too darn hard on, in, and around that car.  Blood, sweat and tons of tears!

I hear what your saying, but it would have been interesting to know what he would have offered just so you could say "no way" 

[Lurker]

i love it when people ask me and i say its not for sale and they reply "everything is for sale" and i say oh ya, got any daughters?

[BEAPARTS]

It's nice having a MOPAR for sure, we don't get lost in the sea of Comaros and Mustangs.  We have a local car get together here where I live, every Saturday night there could be as many as 300 cars.  It's at a big shopping center parking lot with a DJ playing old music and serving food outside from the local drive thru.  I may take my one of my cars there twice a year, I know it's not a Charger, but, when I pull in with a black white billboard hemi cuda I laugh my butt off watching the other guys faces sitting in their lawn chairs with the look of "OH CRAP, HE'S HERE".  I'll park the car and I can watch the people funneling through the crowd to look at the car.  So I get out and take my time getting my chair out of the trunk and by the time I get it there maybe 15 people waiting to see that monster motor.  Nice having a MOPAR, sure glad my uncle didn't have a Comaro growing up, I would have been one of the other guys on the outside looking in.

I'll tell you, these cars become parts of your lives and your families. Especially if your entire family has been involved in building the car. My wife and I have gotten STUPID offers on our Charger since the show and we've actually considered selling until we walk into the garage and see it sitting there and think about all the fun we've had in the car. Can you build another car, yes you can, but will it be THAT car... no it won't. Just my 

[bull]

 I think people in many cases don't know anything about what a Charger is. Not year, not model, not make, nothing. They just get one look at it and know they have to have it.

[Brock Samson]

..so Jim build some "cheap" clones of mr angry and sell them for a profit... 



Charger wife where is your charger in terms of progress?... i haven't read anything about in some time..

I couldn't have said it better, Mike.  There have been a few times I've considered selling the Chally. But I know how much Shelby loves the car and enjoys going to shows with me or just taking it out for a spin. What other 17 yr old do you know asks her Mom to take her for a couple loops on the circuit ?

Well, the progress is that it is completly restored, but we blew the starter a month or two ago and hubby is been working soooo much that we haven't gotten a chancce to replace it.  We got another one just sitting here in the garage.  He pulled it out of the garage and onto the driveway the other day and we found a leak in the driverside front brake line, so gotta fix that too.  This car is seriously turning into a Christine.  Everytime we think we are done or extreamly close to done something else messes up.

[Brock Samson]

that's normal... wait till ya' actually start driving it...   

so the pics are where?.. 

[68chrgrwife]

I'll get hubby right on it!  LOL  I know he has tons of pics of it.  I'll have him put them on here for you.

[twenty mike mike]

Do the San Diego area Charger people (not the football team) ever get their cars together or go on cruises?

BTW, tonight is Mopar Night at Cruisin' Grand in Escondido.

[68chrgrwife]

There is a mopar club of San Diego and they meet once a month up the street from where I live. (I-15 and Aero Dr).  We have been thinking about coming to the Escondito Crusin' nights, but haven't yet.  We do attend the El Cajon one on Wednesday nights.  We are busy tonight or I'd make hubby go.

[chargerman68]

here are some of the day we took it out of the garage since last year.
