I remembered a very similar clone that was ebayed a while back. It was made by the same guy. I went out for a drive today and looked at a 70 Sport Satellite and a RR as a possible clone project. He didn't have any Chargers to look at. We spent almost the whole afternoon at the Satellite location talking with the owner. Super nice guy and had many Mopars and tons of Mopar parts and misc. laying about. Gave us a nice tour of the place and let the wife feed his chickens and goats. Didn't buy the Satellite but had a great day in the country.

I dont know man, i was gonna guess $25k tops. The nose cone would make me hesistate. But if you want something you can drive right away, that doesnt cost a lot and looks cool as a 20/20 car, then maybe give it a good look.

I would spend the extra money and try to get this one instead. Just get it road worthy (or Slap a /6 in it

) and drive it around Joe Dirt style untill you have more money for a Restoration.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RM23V0A16XXXX_W0QQitemZ190173240902QQihZ009QQcategoryZ43921QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I love wing cars and perhaps that is clouding my vision, but I am too new at wanting one of these to be able to tell why this one just isn't worth it. There are a few things that I have noticed but I could be totally wrong.

1. 318 car

2. wing looks like it could be too far forward?
3. The headliner looks like it cloth? And poorly installed
4. no stainless on the windshield pillars
5. non functional headlight doors/unattractive solution

What have you purists noticed?

Its nice to know we have you surfing ebay everyday to document every wing car that comes around. It ended at 20k last time and now they want 29k? Do they think that many more bird clone buyers are gonna pop up and shell out the clams? Or, i suppose they could have set the reserve at 20k and are hoping for 29k.

IowaCharger69 · November 27, 2007, 08:39:06 PM

You know, I wasn't going to say anything until I actually won something, but I put one of the last bids in on this car, and I am kind of happy I didn't get it. Since you posted that Black one a few hours ago I have been especially glad!

i'm happy for you . that black one has a 440 4 speed and the rear plug . plus correct nose but that black one steel needs alot of work. thats the fun part for me . the build . Rene

IowaCharger69 · November 27, 2007, 10:09:43 PM

I also love body work. I just wish I was better. I have done several cars and my skills are slowly coming around. I don't really know if I am ready for a wing car, but noe is as good a time as any.

nascarxx29 · November 27, 2007, 10:17:19 PM

Not a bad looking superbird clone
If it had been a 70 sport satellite from the start if would have the typical RR tailights with argent and chrome.Still has satellite taillights which require changing the length of the bulb sockets.Or replacing the rear tail light harness

Well, there's a car almost exaclty like that here in Australia and it's a clone. Everywhere it goes people flock to have a look at it.

No it's not genuine, but I figure it's probably only the people who have real ones that would get ticked off by that. I don't know what a clone like this would be worth, but I think that it's a damn fine alternative to a genuine one and for a huge amount less.

I get the impression that people here are dead against clone vehicles - why is that ?

Peter

pettybird · November 27, 2007, 11:20:25 PM

Funny you should say that... more than half of the regular posters here have clones/recreations/etc. I think that they get picked apart so badly because a lot of builders here are trying for a much higher level of craftsmanship that these "here ya go" specials on Ebay. It has more to do with picking apart the sellers than the cars, but a lot of the cars are half baked, at best.

But remember: You Can Drive a Clone Like This!

daytonalo · November 27, 2007, 11:20:57 PM

Did Ray Charles build the nose ???Fits really nice !!!

Maybe that's a bit harsh. I hear that comment about "at least you can drive this car" a fair bit. In fact it's a big thing here in Australia with our own R/T Chargers. Australian R/T Chargers have reached unbelieveable prices (try over $200,000 - fact) and it's been the case for many years now that you just don't see them driven. Perhaps it's the insurance premiums required when they reach those incredible prices - I don't know.

Down here I get a lot of people saying to me "Surely you don't drive that all the time", and I've only got a 71 Superbee, which i must admit is pretty rare here. But I don't mind driving it - I love driving it in fact. To be honest this year we had our local All Chrysler day car show and this was the first year that we did not have one single Australian R/T Charger entered. Last year we were lucky to have 2. This has coincided with the huge dollars being asked for them so there simply must be a link there somewhere.

What I'm saying is, there probably is just cause to put in an add a reminder that these Clone cars look the part, and - unlike the huge dollar genuine ones - it's not a bigger risk to take them out whenever you feel like it.

pettybird · November 28, 2007, 01:31:51 AM

Well, I'm a group #3--cars have been in the family for decades. We drive our unrestored (needing restored...) 'birds all over. look for the 'abusing my flickr account' header further down the aero search page and see where we've gone with ours. I can't stand the 'at least you can drive it' line. If your car is nice, cool, insure it and drive it anyway. If it's a beater, drive it like you stole it. Our one 'bird saw around 5500 miles this summer.

WOW Aussie Chargers are expensive! What's your exchange rate? Hell if it's 2:1 that's still a damn expensive car.

The exchange rate is about $1 Aust = 87 Cents US.

I'm not exaggerating about the cost of these cars either. Mind you, it is specific models which are commanding these prices. They are the R/T triple webbered cars. Must be numbers matching etc. I've been involved in Aussie Chryslers (we just call them all Chryslers here) for years and I'm stunned at what collector pieces they've become. Me....personally I'd prefer to spend the money on a Dodge R/T.

Yes....damned expensive cars. Would you believe there is actually one on the net at the moment with an asking price of $300,000 ? Not sure if he'll get it but it wouldn't surprise me. Prices have just gone crazy. Generally I reckon they go for (when you can find them) between $100,000 and $200,000 Aust.

Trust me......you guys have a great assortment of Mopars that I would have any day of the week.

I always suggest that people over there who are interested in buying an Australian R/T Charger do an EXTREME amount of research. Some guys think if it's got stripes and webbers then it's a rare R/T - not true. Just like you guys, it all depends on the numbers.

Sold for $26,000+ I think I would rather have a nice numbers matching non-wing car for that money now that I have had some time to put some real thought into it. I knwo I won't be able to pick up finished clones much cheaper than that so I guess I will have to build my own or go without.
