[blackcharger]

so just how much booze does it take for soeone to think "that'll be a good idea"

[mally69]

  I would rather see it as a car 

[Troy]

Ok class, homework for the day. Go up to the top of the page and use the "Search" to find more information. Really, try it! Somewhere you'll find that this car belongs to another member. You'll also learn the entire history of the car if you look hard enough.

yea I love it this way. Much better that orig {except $ wise now days} with all the pepole wanting Chargers for the $ instead of the love for them. I bought this car from orig owner as he was selling the engine in early 80s and hauling the car to scrap yard as it was not worth anything then. He wanted $500. for it complete or $25.00 for body only. I originally only built it to run in the woods but it drove to good so I use it for both for many years. If I had it too do over yes I would have bought it complete and sold it a year or so ago but that would have been for the 4 not the love of the car. I love the car this way. If you get stuck in the snow just let me know I can pull you out in my 69 charger 

[FastbackJon]

Look at where the shifter is in relation to the driver....

[Charger-Bodie]

I personally would not do that to a Charger, but I think Its cool that the owner (sunroofsuperbird) did. He made the car his own long before it became "In-vogue" To be a Charger owner.

IMO
I think it's (they're) cool... NOW that's what I call a General Lee!!
IMO
I think you'd have to admire anyone who can construct and maintain such a fleet of modified cars and they're drivers, he has fun building and driving them... I think they're alot more fun then some of the trailor/garage queens that might win awards when rolled off the ramp or if ever finished...
Hell I even like his posts, they're really funny! Im glad your in it for the fun and not the 4. 

Allways have loved the Chally station wagon since i first saw in in a magazine in the '80s...

IMO

[Chris G.]

I love the car this way.

No offense, but if you "love" the car that way, and are not in it for the money, then why is it on ebay all the time? Also, I question why you even have these auctions. It's obvious it will never sell for the 55K you have listed. Are you just listing it so you get a reaction out of people, or do you really want to sell?

[Brock Samson]

you made jalopnik third item down,.. (as of now)..

AWESOME-period !

[dads_69]

Once again Marty's talent is unappreciated. I learned, especially from being on line here, negative response to another members car just isn't cool. The Challenger wagon, if I had the cash, I'd buy it. No, I don't like the DOH charger color scheme what so ever, its ridiculous IMO. But nothing a paint job couldn't take care of. For those of you that are building a DOH clone, think about it for a second, like your all high and mighty. The guy just built a very large house, maybe thats a reason for the cars being up for sale. They are not always on ebay either like stated, gees people.

It's a definite head-turner... drive it through Mississippi sometime and you'll probably get a good fan-base going. 

In the ad you mentioned it is in a registry... which one of these:

So would I, I've loved that thing since the first time I saw it! If I drove that thing around here, I bet I could actually make people crash from rubbernecking.

To each his own.  I'd rather see a Charger on 4x4 wheels and surviving. 

Sure beats seeing it rotting away in some redneck's yard for 15 years with a Barrett-Jackson price written on the windshield.

True, as this one was on its way to the scrap yard, it very well could have been melted down and be driving around as a Honda or other.   HOWEVER, it still survives.  It is his car do do what he wishes to......people get so worrried what people do to their own cars.......I think its just fine like it is.

Marty is a good guy and was more than happy to let me check out his stable of cool rides when I bought a '70 charger hood from him. You can criticize the car all you want but the funny thing is that Id much rather see it like that than rusting or rotting away. I hear people that say things like that all the time- "Like I'd never done the car that way" . Well 9 times out of 10 people like that dont know the story behind the car. Sometimes different routes are taken on the cars because they are to far gone for restoration.  At least Marty's GL doesnt look like everyone elses    It's good for everyone to have an opinion, but I thought we were here to enjoy each others cars not diss them...I'd drive the hell out of it!

[69bronzeT5]

Sunroofsuperbird saved that car from the crusher. If I remember correctly, the frame or something was rusty. I'd rather see it turned into a 4X4 then be crushed

[Chris G.]

It's good for everyone to have an opinion, but I thought we were here to enjoy each others cars not diss them.

It's true that a members car should not be dissed simply because another person doesn't like it. However, this particular car is on ebay, which to me, makes it open to whatever opinions anyone feels like having. If I put my car on ebay, I would expect people to give me their honest opinions (good or bad).

Remind me never to post pics of my 70 again

You sort of contradict yourself with this comment. Saying you don't like it is fine, but calling it ridiculous is sort of insulting to any DOH member on here...don't 'cha think?

[NHCharger]

I drank a few beers with Marty at Carlisle two years ago. He had his chally wagon. Great guy and very cool car.
With the winter we're having up here that 4x4 General would be the bomb. I'd love to pull up to a stop light next to a ricer with that sporting side pipes and electric exhaust cut outs.

Read what I typed, I don't like the DOH paint scheme,I find it ridiculous yes. I also said, nothing a paint job couldn't take care of. Do you feel better now that you've contradicted me? Give it a rest dude.

[69charger2002]

i don't mind the general lee 4x4 one bit. call me crazy, but i would drive that thing around here and never think twice. the $55k is kind of funny, but hey it was $1 listing day, and did anybody see their "promotional" ending fees? it's $109 ending.. which makes selling a car $20 higher than it normally would.. some special huh? so it only makes sense to list cars on ebay for exposure for that "just in case" instance.. while at the same time.. if it DOES sell, you make sure you get something crazy for it to make it worth while

[TruckDriver]

You guys say what you want. I love it You guys should remember seeing a lot of 4x4 cars back in the '80s. I did. Mustangs, Monte Carlos, Camaros, a friend even had a '68 GTO 4x4. It's not something you would wanna do today. But back then, they were only 10-15 year old cars.


BTW - Travis, you own enough beater Chargers to make one of your own

[squeakfinder]

COY DUKE? 

I thought the ad said stars of the show signed the dash!   

[kylem4711]

wow, thats white trash at its best

[Daytona R/T SE]

I like it   I've got a 68 Charger in the barn that came REALLY close to becoming a 4X4 a couple of times, both times the deal on the donor 4X4 truck fell through.  I might STILL do it if a donor truck turns up 

Might use my rusty '70 500 SE instead of the '68 

[69charger2002]

look at it this way, if you use the 70 you won't need a push bar.. that ugly large mouth bass chrome bumper should suffice! and the SE interior will still make it nice and comfy

Travis, Actually, the '70 has already sacrificed it's fenders and hood for my Daytona clone, and the Large mouth bass bumper/grill assembly was already MIA when I dragged this POS home.  I was thinking one-piece fiberglass '69 tilt front end on the 4X4

It'll make for much easier spark plug changes

Maybe that's what I should do with my parts car...

That's really odd coming from you Trav. I would think the nicest Charger you own is the black '70.  Maybe I'm just too narrow minded to see the other cars you have. 

[69charger2002]

lol yep it probably is my nicest car. and i'm poking humor anyway. everyone knows i love all 68-70 chargers, the 70 is just my least favorite. that 70 is the "wife's car" i give her hell about the bumper too. you're not narrow minded at all. i just like ruffling feathers once in a while. i agree no members car should be put down. you can make fun of characteristics, years or models, but to put down on someone's personal tastes isn't right. lots of times i want to throw up when i see what certain members do to their cars, but i will try and say.. ehh i wouldn't do that to my car, but to each his own. i know you're the same way chris.  you know you like my 69's better anyway.. the black 70 is just fresh on your mind..

Your post had me sucked in until this comment. 

But seriously, I agree, I don't slam people's taste on the site. I often cringe at some cars and ideas, but rarely do I say something publicly about it.

I dont think people should hold back their opinions this is a forum after all. I get the feeling some people are not saying what they really think.
As for me i dont like it or anything like the challenger station wagon (which i saw back in 06) to me there's different thats "cool" and different thats...well not cool 

[Brock Samson]

 seems to me some people don't like anything, and have to go post about it every chance they get...

I see your a mod, a few of us don't believe you should be.

That must mean I am doing a good job. 

ps- Not sure who edited your earlier profanity laced post to whoever, but if I read that first and had any pull around here, you would be on vacation.
