1969 Charger "resto mod"

[68RT4ME]

 The car is NOT that nice at all. Well, maybe the paint. I'd think that if they have 100K in it, it would look better than show room new. Not enough time to point out all I saw wrong with it. I'd say is was at best a 20-30K car.

I'm not expert but It just lacks a whole bunch. Why too many question marks. 

No one is complaining that it's not even a real R/T?

That would explain the extra hole in back.

I totally agree with that and just about every other comment here.

Ohhh boy,  Well, looks like someone had good ideas just did not finish them?  Also, to me resto-mod means more than what happened here.  Throwing different gauges, paint and tires does not make it a resto-mod, IMO.....

I think big wheels can be done tastefully, but this would be an expample of what NOT to do?   

I dont mind the bumpers, but overall, I would take the car back apart and CERTAINLY not pay much for it as it is.

wow...    this is like a 15K car to me if that...     looks like shit, half-assed, and corners were cut...      if you remove the AC and heater - patch the holes, if you remove something like the washer bottle - fill the holes, spend the $1500 on bodywork instead of the GPS in the dash...       sorry but I just cant stand shoddy workmanship

I don't mind the black bumper of the rear, but the front one ain't makin' it. Another thing that ain't makin' it is the $1.49 toggle switches on the dash. Looks to me that whoever built that car ran out of money toward the end & just finished slapping it together to sell.

The paint looks purty darn nice from the pics, that's probably where 80% of the resto money went. If I bought it, I'd drive it home at 1:00 AM, hurry & swap the wheels, then go to bed. The rest I'd be willing to work on as time allows, but the wagon wheels are just too lame to look at.

  I missed the 100K reference.

My earlier comments were based on about a 20K purchase price... and now that I look back, I'm not sure where I got that number from.

Well shoot me if you want but I like it in general.....BUT NOT all of it.

Ok OK the wheels are wrong (and they forgot to put tyres on the rims) and those bumpers look like they ran out of money before they got the chance to get them rechromed.....
And No I'm not even gonna start about the interior......

But some of the work looks ok and done properly (exept the underside) wich sould deserve some attention......
And I should ditch that bumped drive shaft too....

MY VIN NUMBER ON MY 69 CHARGER IS 73 NUMBER AFTER THIS ONE - SO THIS CHARGER IS ORIGNALLY A REGULAR 69 CHARGER WITH A STOCK 383  - NOT HIGH PREFORMANCE- NOTHING SPECIAL - AND THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE HOLE IN THE REAR BY THE R/T SYMBOL- THE CAR SHOULD HAVE A REGULAR CHARGER SYMBOL - WELL THAT ALL-    ITS HIS CHARGER LET HIM DO AS HE WISHES

ITS HIS CHARGER LET HIM DO AS HE WISHES

That's very egalitarian of you, but the guy owns a business in which he builds cars specifically to sell. That removes him from the "protection" of the "you must celebrate everyone's efforts" crowd.

Not that anyone needs to make nasty remarks about the car (and no one has), but comments such as, "I don't like the color" and "Hey, there's a piece of lint on the carpet" are fair game for a car offered commercially.
