Oh boy. No offense if this is yours but I just don't like it

I'm thinking bondo is a close friend of that car. 

[BrianShaughnessy]

Man those are some heavy doors to be lifting like that!

2nd gen doors aren't so heavy as others.   There was a guy from around Newburgh with a 71 that wanted to do that lambo door crap awhile back.   Project was sold before anything actually got done.   

Anyhoo I'm not a big fan of the lambo doors but give the guy credit for trying to be different.

I'm just baffled by the engineering of the door scissors

Between the inset of the weather channel & outset of the rain gutter how does the door move out then up

No.  I'm NOT contemplating doing that.  Just curious

the hinges work two ways they go out, and then you pull the door up

Cutting the car in half with an acetylene torch would be "different" too.

I guess there's only so much I could complain about if it's still mostly reverisble.  But IMHO it's still stupid on a Charger that's so close to stock otherwise.  I think that kind of extreme door work really belongs on a totally redone hack-job you see in a magazine with 22" wheels, IRS, and a Lexus interior. 

On a nearly-stock Charger, it just leaves you crying out for the original doors back.

Don't give the guy any ideas! 

[Nacho-RT74]

I like... Dunno if I would make it, but I like to play with that idea.

BTW guy stated:
There's a simple reason why the second-generation car has inspired so much  affection: this is the best-looking car the Chrysler Corporation ever produced. The Charger wasn't just beautiful — it was perfect.

eeehm.. wasn't perfect. Aerodinamic sucks

Yeah, above 140 mph or so. How fast do you drive yours? Besides, he was talking about looks ("best-looking", "beautiful"). I happen to like the looks/style/design of my dually but it's got the aerodynamics of a barn. I'd still take it over most cars.

[sick dawg]

if the car was built for those doors cool! they go straight up. kits on cars like this suck,  because you have to open the door regular and then raise it. there is an idiot that lives near me that did that to a new mustang. when he parks it he always puts the doors up and leaves it. I always hope a cat will climb in it and shit on the drivers seat one day!

This must be an older shot, still has stock hinges...looks like the pic was taken through the back window opening, too.



Anyone remember this car? If I recall, it was a young guy that joined here, posted a few pics, got lambasted, couldn't take the heat & left.
I don't see why.






This shows the doors tilting outward a little...still doesn't look very comfortable to get in & out of, though.

Nah, I think that is because needs to be slightly opened to be able to open up, If not then never unhook from striker and probably would meet with fender

Well, I'm being STRICTLY to what PERFECT words means LOL... I'm agree with you on the rest . Anyway aerodinamics affects from 0 up top any speed. Advantage, Mopar has underhood power options to beat that.

[sick dawg]

What's with that hood??? Why??? 

[BrianShaughnessy]

What's with that hood??? Why??? 

That's the worst part of it.    The decklid was pointless.    The lambo doors are up for debate - well for this thread anyway.   The hood was just retarded.    If the guy wanted to be different he could have found a way for it to open from the back.

[deputycrawford]

Owning a second gen Charger is different in itself. For that mater, all Charger owners are a little different. Some people have to take a different car and make it....well.......more different. Not for me.

[nakita7]

It begs the simple question..."Why?..."

[mally69]

What a  yellow   P.O.S.   that ruined the integrity of the car, same goes for the lambo doors   what a disgrace  and i NEVER thought id say that about a charger 

[greenpigs]

Big deal, just put the stock hinges back on.  For $12,100 I would keep looking if I was in the market to buy. Not sure if it is a bondo wagon..looks straight in the pictures to me..but not many are close ups.

[Ghoste]

But I'll bet in 1978 it could have been a monster hit on the ISCA circuit. 

[Chris G.]

It's not my thing, but I'll bet it would get a huge amount of attention at a generic car show. To some people that's what it's all about. There's plenty of 2nd gen Chargers out there for sale other than this one. If you don't like the scissor door treatment (Thanks Silver for educating me/us  ), turn your head to the next one for sale.

[Nacho-RT74]

I dunno what car is this... apparently a mopar, but does look with scisors doors too:

"The horror! The horror!"

   

[Steve P.]

I don't personally care what people do with their cars. They own them Let them do what they want. I am a dare to be different type of guy..  One day I want to do a major DTBD car. All mopar of course.. But I want to mix it up. 

I wish the guy with that yellow 68 would come back. I would like to see what he has done with his car since back then. It was a pretty rotten thing we did chasing him off. What a bunch of bullies... I say we all get a swift  and a 

If anyone knows who he is I for one would like to invite him back..
