That's the Charger Steve S has owned for many years, and still owns.
They have different magazine titles like, Muscle car, Classic, etc...  So it seems that way.  Trust me I had a subscription to the Muscle car edition and it did not arrive every two weeks.  I think Bi monthly?

Steve's car has a ga-gillion documents. Nice to see it make the cover.  :2thumbs:

ps- Any non-numbers car should be flogged every day of the week.  :yesnod:

Sheesh, Chris.  Honestly, I would have kept the numbers matching motor in my charger if it weren't for the fact that 3 of th 5 mains were spun bad enough to ruin the block prior to me buying my car.  However, I still have a period correct 383 HP block in it. :pity: 

Also, I can't wait to get my new issue with the Charger on the cover!

I had a great link of him telling the unreal story about how he obtained all the documents.  I can't find it, but wrote him to send it to me then I will post it here.

And to think....I had a chance to own that car almost 30 years ago.....story of my life back then, always a day late and a dollar short. It went to a good home. I missed out on like 10 hemi cars back in the day....Always short on cash  :brickwall: (hey 10 grand was a lot of money back then) or too late.  :flame: I can't complain....I finally scored one and haven't looked back (not to mention picking up a 71 6 pack along the way)!

Glad I could help with the link! :2thumbs:

Yea...I am, but the journey was long and arduous.....those things didn't exactly fall into my lap as you see them. Lots of work and $$$$ still going into those two (not to mention another one on the way LOL).

The cars that slipped through my fingers back then......if you only knew.... :rotz: :RantExplode:

The '70 still looks beautiful. :icon_smile_cool: That's cool that it's made yet another cover. :cheers:

That's a cool story on the Yenko link, too. I've gotta wonder though, when the wheels finally get switched to Cragers...is anyone gonna recognize it?? :lol:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

 are those hemi letters on the hood really a factory option ?

Of course they are, that's yet another reason why it's widely known that '70 is the best model year. :nana:

What ever you do dont say Steve's last name. I did that once & he insisted I some how remove it? I guess he likes to keep a low profile, even though everybody knows who he is :shruggy: LEON.

And they're in their correct location too.  Not at the bottom of the scallop.  :2thumbs:

I believe our poll showed 68 as the favorite year?  Obviously being a typo as 69 is surely known as the best.  Soooo that would mean 70 would have to be #3, but that's not bad.  :icon_smile_big:

Very nice.  Remove the hood perf treatment, and (maybe) the Hemi callouts, oh, and make it a clone...and you've got my car.
