From #1 & 2 to # 3 & 4 in about 9 months.....

Could have been a nice 383 4 speed car in the right hands.....

Why do those bottom door panels not look right?

personally the car looks pretty good to me...if I didn't know better I would have bought it!

i agree...it is one of the better ones they have sent out of there...

Funny thing is, if some guy showed up on this site saying he bought that car, he would get nothing but compliments. Now that it's been touched by Hlpag, the nit pickers have no problem pointing out what they don't like. Only on dc.com

. I've seen cars owned by members alot worse looking than that, but they get nothing but praise.

Ha ha chuckle chuckle ha ha. We know who built this one and I can bet that the last two pics are fake and the customer will find out when they receive the car, in the dead of night

Oh yes they do...and they need to burn in hell for it.

Looks to me like the map pockets are just strips of straight vinyl stapled to the door panel.

Quality.

I will say it again, why don't we just make a law that say all 2nd gen Chargers need to be cloned into a General Lee because we really need them...........................NOT!

69charger2002 · October 19, 2007, 06:47:20 PM

sick.. i actually would have liked that car back to it's original appearance.. notice they ditched the console. probably got $1000 for it alone

Hi,

remember seeing the green 69 on ebay for 11,5k in Texas.
Real nice project.
I would have driven it in its old paint. But I am mad sometimes.

I feel sorry for the car (as I am not into GLs)

bull · October 19, 2007, 09:48:03 PM

Looks good from afar but far from good.

I have a few comments on this car that are not necessarily directed at HLPAG but GL clones in general. First off, is it me or has the number of GL clones seem to have surpassed the number of black 2nd gen Chargers combined? I'm starting to think their numbers should be regulated. Second, the tan interiors I've seen in most restored lately look like the sort of tan you might get in Northern Alaska during winter, aka, "flesh tone" if you're a white guy. I'm not going to point fingers or name names but I think many of the alleged tan interiors now days look horrible, like a can of peach or cream spray paint got too hot and exploded in the front seat.

Isn't the dash plastic supposed to be woodgrain or black anyway? I don't recall ever seeing dash bezels in tan until now.

That's another good project car wasted....

It could have made one of the "die hard restorers" out there very happy, and i think it's sad to see those cars getting wasted as we all know they're getting rarer and rarer every year....

Makes me

I don't think you'd get a grand for that worn out console seeing as how you can get an entirely new setup for about $1,200.

69-70 Charger 4 Speed Console Plate Kit: $765 (PG Classic)
1966-70 Charger Roadrunner 4 Speed Console Light Wire: $69 (PG Classic)
1966-70 Mopar B-Body Charger Roadrunner Console Light with lenses: $125 (PG Classic)

Notice the seats, the originals were headrest seats and guess what? ABRA CADABRA AND POOF

THEY ARE GONE NOW.

Yeah all you need is 4 chewing gums to stuff the holes and some interior spray paint and done....

Mike DC · October 21, 2007, 02:26:21 PM

I'm a huge GL fanboy, but it would have been cooler to leave that car a lot closer to a stock resto.

Factory 4spd, chromed rocker panels . . . cool. Just lose the green colors and you're ready to go.

Old Moparz · October 22, 2007, 10:51:42 PM

OOOOOOOO!! Notice the upper door pad & the way they duplicated original grain pattern of the vinyl.

Duct tape & some more tan spray paint maybe?

joflaig · October 23, 2007, 08:51:05 AM

I was planning to check out the Volo Car "museum" this weekend. It's about ten miles from Lake Villa. I suppose I could stop by and check it out, take some pics too. I guess I could tell them I was looking for a project car. I just wonder if they'd be suspicious of someone taking photos of everything.

Steve P. · October 23, 2007, 10:08:37 AM

Are you trying to spoil a good weekend??

67hcode · October 23, 2007, 10:49:15 AM

I live less than 5 min from that place. I don't think they do much business locally. My guess is it's mostly internet buyers from far away. Word must have gotten out around here. I'm always amazed that a business that operates the way they seem to can survive. What ever happened to taking pride in your work? I'm sure at some point everything will catch up to them.

Most of us have been saying that for years about Jim's as well.... yet they still manage to survive.... kinda like a cockroach in a nuclear fallout zone.....

Bluestar · October 23, 2007, 01:26:29 PM

I know it may be a bit of a stretch, but is it possible they have tried to change their stripe somewhat. The stuff I've seen them advertising recently certainly looks a lot more clean than what they were offering a year or two ago. And again not trying to defend them in the least, seeing as what their reputation is and what they have done to some people that have found their way here after getting ripped off. It would be interesting to see a report from someone near there who could stop by and check things out.

Steve P. · October 23, 2007, 01:29:12 PM

Why would you even bother?? They are a rip off company. Always were and always will be... Skunks don't change their stripes..

67hcode · October 23, 2007, 01:51:24 PM

My guess is the reason you're seeng cars that look nicer is that they are now doing restorations ( If you can call them that) I thought in earlier years they were mostly just buying and selling them. Next time I go past there I will try to remember the camera and snap a couple of shots. Was by there a few days ago and the lot is a sea of orange with all the GL "projects" they have
