what a bunch  ::)of jackoff's....

If the car is a HALPG car or in the same condition, no loss then.

[Dave22443]

I disagree.  With all of the available sheet metal finally coming out, even a HALPG car suddenly becomes a viable project for someone.

[73chgrSE]

Well last year's jump car didn't look to messed up. At least they landed in some soft dirt.

[Chris G.]

There's at least 15 on ebay right now. If you want to control their destiny, buy them all. If not, can you really complain?

I live around an hour away from where this is happening. I'll stand outside the gate and hold a picket sign displaying "STOP DESTROYING DODGE CHARGERS!"

I realize these cars are rough.  Very rough, but even with that being said.  I have a cuda on ebay right now.  I consider it trash, it needs just about everything, but I have  a few people really interested in it to restore.  I guess if you can do the work yourself, it's a starting point.  One mans junk is another mans treasure.  Iam beginning to think that none of these cars are junk with all the repro metal coming out.

Of course you need pics to prove it

Another dumb ass, out to prove his stupidity....

[superduperbee]

This one had so much bondo, the taillights were falling out as it left the ramp. They rebuild it after each jump.  Ray

[FastbackJon]

What I don't understand is the absurdity that people would want to watch the car get destroyed. Wanting to watch the jump is one thing, I think it would be cool to see the jump, but not if the Charger gets destroyed. In the TV show the duke boys jumped the Charger and continued to drive it around. Obviously "movie magic" but still, you didn't see them land it land face down in a pile of wreckage.

maybe not a pile of wreckage , but from what i remeber all most every jump on that show the the front bumper tried like hell to meet the windshield 

[Magnumcharger]

I still don't get it....
I used to watch DOH almost religiously when I was a kid, never liked the jumps even back then. I did like the slides though. A lot less destructive. I guess I had the restorer bug even back then!
Of course, I had a Barracuda at the time, and would have KILLED for a '69 Charger!!

[Dave22443]

You know, the damage would be much less severe if they just used a catch ramp.   

I don't care what anybody says about what condition a car is in.  If its sound enough that a stunt man feels safe hitting a ramp with it at high speed, then its solid enough to restore.  These cars were unit-bodies.  If there were that much rust in them as some claim, they would collapse the instant they hit the ramp, if not before.

No 2nd Gen Charger is "worthless"   

[Red Ram]

One day the Charger will win and these people will have to re-evaluate their decisions...probably with the help of an attorney.

Actually the car is heavily braced, full cage, frame, skid plate etc., or yes it would collapse when it hit the ramp.

agreed! even if it was never going to be roadworthy, what a waste and a sad end for a charger. bunch of losers 

[police1]

looser uh huh....

[jaak]

I hate to see old cars destroyed for entertainment, but like I've said this before... My take is, as long as mine is sitting in the garage....who cares??? as long as they don't  jump mine, I ain't gonna lose no sleep.

I know there was some complaints about it, but I don't recall as much as when they filmed "Death Proof" as destroyed 10 '69 Chargers, and 10 '70 Challengers that supposedly were all solid restorable cars from Texas. That pissed me off. But I remember getting flack about it when I spoke my mind. These guys are jumping a bondo bucket that missed its burial date, and it's a big major deal?, I don't get it

[Mike DC]

     
In my opinion, the GL that was jumped at this festival last year was NOT even solid enough to be a safe jumper.  That was an individual Dukes fan doing that with his old parts-car Charger shell after he finished his good car's resto. 


The TV crew (Dukesfest) is thinking hard about switching to a ramp-to-ramp deal.  They're getting sick and tired of trying to put together another Charger every year.

Thats exactly why I refuse to watch that movie..that and it seems really stupid.

well i agree with you 100%! i did (finally) get to see the movie but trust me, i didnt pay to see it if you know what i mean  and what a bunch of crap! seriously cody, that was the worst movie i have ever seen! that is why i didnt remember if i posted about all the chargers and challengers they wrecked but that is another stupid waste imo.
