472 R/T SE

My blue car, (on end where they parked me) along with several others were the backdrop of a NW show @ Remlinger the first year in MCG & Mopar Action.  I can't find the scanned images now.  But both Rags used the same angle.

At the first Charger.Com meet several of us got ink +  pix of us showing up, in a local NW Publicatio.  I cant' find that now either.

This year at Sunbust was filmed, and they used my car as a backdrop when the dude was talking about the show cause there was a empty stall next to me.  There were 2 camera views.  Only problem the show is only viewed in California and Seattle.

I have A.D.D. tho, so I bought a crate Hemi.  I wanna be like Chris. :icon_smile_cool: :icon_smile_big:

A local monthly magazine called Lifestyles did this article on my Charger and me a few months ago.

Mike, that was Cruzin magazine, it is still around. I have a copy of that edition. "Grandma Charger" is in there also !

My 'Cuda was in Mopar Muscle before I owned it.

Editor/ owner of Mopar Collectors Guide saw Grandma Charger and wants to do a photoshoot of it for a survivior feature....

My '70 R/T is currently on the cover of this month's Old Cars Price Guide!! It was also featured in MCG sometime back in '97. I'll have to get the exact dates for you guys. It was also in the Chrysler's @ Carlisle show program several times (does that count?). Back in the day, it was in  MoPerformance Magazine (remember THAT ONE? Pre-restoration, too!), and Muscle Cars magazine (also pre-resto).
My '68 Charger was also featured in an old issue of MoPerformance magazine when it still had the lowly 318 in it. They did an article on 68-70 Chargers, and it featured my car along with a '69, also a 318 car. This was back around '88 or so.
Sorry guys, I don't have a scanner. But, I'll try to dig up the issues with the dates. The Old Cars Price Guide should be on your newsstand right now! Just a heads up, some of the price quotes are waaaaay off. Even on the cover it lists a '70 Charger R/T in #1 condition at $42K. I've seen cars going for a lot more than that lately.

BTW Khyron, didn't I buy a blue Charger fender off you? Your car looks familiar!

My cars and I have been in the Detroit Free Press paper denouncing the new "Charger".

I have been in MCG multiple times talking about cars in the readers replies and Govier's articles.

I have also been in the local paper with a big picture of me and another guy in front of his Charger talking about the Charger meets I put on.

And once driving somewhere in the mauve '66 Charger I went past a video camera that was shooting the road and went back home and saw myself on the 6pm news when they were doing a story about people speeding down the road. lol

Yes, the writer was a bit over the top with some of his statements. He used quite a bit of "literary freedom".

I like how he portrayed your car as a "street wandering mechanical chark". Oh yeah, baby. :icon_smile_cool:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

A swedish monthly magazin "Power", had an article on my -68 along with one -69 and one -70 a couple of years ago. The reporter saw my car at a cruising in another town and tracked me by the license plate, when he called me I told him I have two friends with a -69 and -70, and he thought it would be cool to do an article with all three of the second gen. (sorry bout the poor pic's, I'm not getting along with my scanner at the moment)!!!

I'm not sure...
I think you might have been just finishing up your car. I also bought a set of back-up lamp assemblies, one had a broken socket. His Charger looked EXACTLY like yours. The fender was a pale blue, with a 383 decal on it.

I'm not sure, but I know is was a quiet street with very small houses. The car was in a small, kinda rundown garage. I think it was lower NY state, if I'm not mistaken. He didn't mention anything about selling it, though. He was a member on this board, that's how I found the fender.
