Like the title says this car is unbelievable. If Chrysler would build this car on the current Charger platform I would buy 2.

Heres the story behind the awesome car.  At first I liked it, but when I sobered up, it looks like crap

The car is in Mopar Action this month. I admire the workmanship, but question the vision. The front end looks like it was wrecked, re-assembled as a jr-high shop class project, and never finsihed.

All that work, and the guy puts a rusted spring on the front seat "mechanism".


Guess he was too busy taking something beautiful and crapping all over it?


There are a couple of nice things about that car... one of them being that is use to be a 68 charger.

Nope, don't like it. It takes away some of the things that make the 68 great, like the grill, tail light set up, side markers, crease in the door below the mirror just to name a few. :Twocents:

I think the outside is pretty nice.

But the inside is horrid.


I would give 5 or 6 thousand for it....    :icon_smile_big:

I think they had a good concept in mind, but the outcome was horrible. Everything looks out of place, especially the interior. Too Bad..... That's horrible.  :down: :badidea:

U can tell they were trying to follow the new challengers' design..no front bumper, shortened, big wheels..I understand what they were going for, however it's sad to see a 68 get chopped up.  :shruggy:

I agree that the grille looks wrong. It should be recessed with concealed lights. There may not be a whole lot of room behind the grille to recess it much, but a little would help. I also agree it needs a front bumper. The front end looks too blunt. Of course a car like this will not appeal to everyone. People even criticize the differences between the 68-70 model years. I personally do not like the '70 grille/bumper.

If this was considered a concept for a future model it could be revised. Even the new Challenger wil not look exactly like the concept. I would much rather drive this car than a DOH clone.

I dunno man, I could take the ugly out of GL clone alot quicker than I could fix this 68. Maybe the builders had an affection for Pug nosed dogs and thought the Charger was "too much car" and too big to handle. So they tried to turn it into a Cum-arrow.

Nothing personal dude, but I'd bet 99 percent of us here were drawn to Chargers in the first place because of their incredibe, beautiful styling.

It's like they took Cindy Crawford, made her 3 feet shorter, gave her Micheal Jackson's nose, the flat ass of a 90 year old, and put her in a clown suit to draw that much extra attention to her.

I am not saying I would chop up a nice 2nd gen, but If that Charger were a concept of a new model I would drive it. Everyone here loves the 68-70 models, but lets face it - Chrysler will never build them again. If this car would go into production I think it would sell. Retro looks are hot and it resembles a Charger much more than the current model out there.
