Sooo...does it rain alot by you???Interior looks good.How's it run??

[RD]

that is one odd looking ride... never thought you would purchase something like that... must have been an impulse buy.  Do we have to send you to buyers anonymous?

[69charger2002]

lol jamey, it's odd but it was really cheap.. poppa it does not rain too much here and i have a building for it anyway so it won't be driven much..i JUST bought it. as in 30 minutes ago. so i won't drive it home till later this week

[69charger2002]

lol thanks for that!

[69bronzeT5]

Well...I gotta say, the car is.....interesting

[Khyron]

lol thanks for that!

somewhere, deap in my soul. I want to do up a /6 convertable with those parts

I'll just live through you for awhile

[BMOTOXSTAR]

That is really freaky kinda' cool. I would roll in that Mopar.
I bet a top shop could make a nice top for that.

That is really freaky kinda' cool. I would roll in that Mopar.

That will be a lot of fun.

[MaMopar]

It's a Mopar, and it doesn't look that bad.  A little sweat equity and she'll be a nice little driver.

[71ChallengeHer]

It's different. But I like it.

[Nacho-RT74]

I would love just if was a 70-72, not that ugly front clip

Note appart: I don't like that seller. I bought a set of grilles from him and and weren't that good, beside I sold NOS 71 R/T tail lights louvers ( 2 sets ) still on original boxes except one on $400, and he was crying... he ended getting around $1K reselling them. A$$***E THIEF!!!

[Mean 318]

I like it! I hope you fix it!

Nacho,
   You should have sold me those 71' R/T louvers. I would not have cried & I would have used them.

[Nacho-RT74]

that was years ago, before you entered on Board.

IN FACT this is funny, but when I was selling them on parts for sale section on the old board NOBODY wanted or ask, just one guy ( what I won't mention, he is still around ) asked but never close a deal because was expensive In his opinion I think

I was selling them with pics. Original Mopar Boxes on pics too, so wasn't a "blind" deal

Did happen the same with rear valences with exhaust cutouts... I was selling one NOS on original primer, with a light bended area. I was asking $200 and NOBODY wanted.

Fortunatelly that one got a good owner and is already mounted on car and looking good. I sent it with bended area straightened and new primed to just paint and mount.

I think that it was because I was a foreigner and allmost a newbie. Was pretty hard try to sell on those days. I still remember My first deal was with dodgecharger-fan in Canada... 4 Original Parts Dealers Catalog ( 67/68/69/70 ). he wanted just 69 but for the shipping cost I made close the deal for the 4 catalogs and then sell the ones he didn't want and get back the money... pretty easy with those years catalogs... wasn't a bad deal in my opinion to both... I got my dash pad and several parts more with that, on the days dash pads were still good affordable.

Attached, rear valence I "sold"... really got a good trade, with a good and thanks God patiently guy enough to help on get the best shipping way for the stuff he sent me

below, the original condition rear valences on factory primer... the non cut out one got a good owner too. you can see the slight bended area on cut out valence

[41husk]

I'd bought those, but I diddn't have a 3rd gen in those days!

here is a picture of what was my first mopar convertible . I realize its not as cool as youres but.....

Wrong guy.

[Ghoste]

Congratulations Trav.  I kind of like it, but then again, I'm a twisted little freak in my own way too. 

[Charger_Fan]

At least it's more nicely done than the 3rd Gen Charger running around my area.

[BigBlackDodge]

Did they stiffen up the frame any underneath?



BBD

[69charger2002]

lol you know i just thought about that today. i bet they didn't.. and though the 6 banger itself won't twist torque the body, it may buckle on it's own over time. as there is nothing but rockers holding the car together in the middle now.. scary thought! 

[gts95]

No offense but I'd put a brown paper bag over my head before I drove that in town! 

[nakita7]

I honestly don't know what to say....

I guess it wasnt all that it was cracked up to be huh?    At least the Mustang lasted more than a day!  Did you even get it yet?

Wheres the dolphin smilie when you need it

[69charger2002]

hey chris..  well as for the dart.. let me tell ya. i did NOT buy it to flip it.. honestly i don't know why i bought it..i probably won't even break even on it.. and since it's the last thing i bought, it's first to go.  BUT the sole reason it's on ebay is because i won this car the other night on ebay.

and i need the funds to just pay for shipping the thing! i think you'll agree, though not a 69, it was worth the buy!

Were you drunk?

It will be a fun toy for a little while but with no way to keep the critters out you might be doing this:  soon. To whom will you sell it?

Have fun!

As for the Charger.....
