Since there was so much interest I thought i would open a new thread.. This is all I know..  It was at Yearone  show a couple weeks ago. I just had to ask him "Why??" He said he  Works for Coke in Atlanta and is looking for promotional Ops with Coke..  these are the only Pics I have.. The interior was stock but looked pristine. Fine looking charger, but I dunno, just dont seem right to me..Or  :shruggy:??

I hope that was a repro fuel cap he boogered up or at least reversable.

Personally I cant understand the green? Coke bottles are RED & WHITE (not counting diet coke or coke zero). Id also replace the coke in the trunk with beer. The gas cap is a neat idea but it's stupid in the same breath.

the green is for the glass  as in it is meant to replicate the look of the old school style bottles.  im on the fence about it  but its ironic considering its looks like a sideways coke bottle and the body style is referred to as the "coke bottle" styling  lol

chargerrt

I think it's a really cool promotional car myself.  I wouldn't want my car to look like that though.  What kind of rims are those?  They looks pretty cool!

Nevermind...the rims look like one-offs with coke bottles with coke bottles for the spokes.

Anyone remember the fad from a couple of years ago of dressing your car up like a product? There were pictures floating around the 'net - might have been here..
Wonder if this is the same sort of lunacy?

That question posed, I have to say that I like this particular one.
I think it's well done. There's a tie-in with the "Coke Bottle Styling" of the Charger and the owner has a connection with Coca Cola.

All that seems to make it less crazy in my mind That's easily done when your point of reference is a Japanese subcompact dressed up like a box of Tide laundry detergent - for no good reason at all.  :smilielol:

I like it, the soda cap gas lid is a nice touch.  It made me remember that I know of a similar car done up by Dr. Pepper back in the late 1990s that was given away in a local contest and I know the owner who ended up with it.  It did not have alot of Dr. Pepper logos on it (a few small decals is what I remember) but was a 1968 Charger painted in the color of Dr. Pepper and came with a lot of Dr. Pepper stuff.  The car is nice, but was not perfect when he got it.  The last time I saw it was at a car show in Colby, Kansas five years ago.  I need to check back to see if he still has the car.......

   I like it too. It was bound to happen sooner or later due to the 68-70 referred to as "coke bottle design". Gotta go, I'm on my way to the Budweiser distributor to see if they'll pay for my bodywork in exchange for putting their logo on it!!    :icon_smile_big:

Hey Guys,

Ouch-- You guys are tough! A grenade without the pin? Gas cap stupid? Ooouch. :)

But honestly, I do appreciate the candor. You guys are part of the audience and I appreciate the truth.

Here's the story--

Basically what you have here is literally the 1969 Coke Bottle Charger, or for the lay, The Coke Car. As a commercial illustrator I have always wanted to do something creative & artistic with the car, and so I asked God for his inspiration and with the help of my friend David Levy, this is what developed.

It is an all-themed Coke Bottle Charger. 

The features are: airbrushed faux Coke Bottle Glass green, (the result of spending 21 10-12 days on my feet, back, butt and knees) hand painted & airbrushed Coke Flames (Syrup geysers in the hood wastegates), 2-toned Coke Reds, hand painted Coke Scripts (with the help of my friend Trey Bogan) and a giant Bottle-cap gear on the roof.



Since the car is based off Classic Coke, I wanted to emulate that by leaving the sheet metal alone. The lines are beautiful inside and out so no deleting of chrome, or handles, or marker lights. (Mark and Jeremy @ AMD / Auto Metal Direct graciously supplied us with some beautiful new pieces.)

The interior is stock, with the exception of the floor mounted console, which was converted into a Vendo Coke machine Console, with decalled operating instructions, and Vendo Paint. The gauges were refaced in Coke white, as well as misc. trim pieces. Sound deadened for a quieter ride, and a Stereo-navagation-DVD-handsfree phone was installed--all inclusive of a single dashmounted monitor.




The trunk was fitted with a custom-made cooler, reminiscent of the mom-pop stores with Coke coolers, a bottle opener mounted in place of the tailight Charger emblems, ICE COLD reads across the decklid, and the car's auto-tag is "POP 1".



The wheels are custom billet Coke Bottle wheels as well as is the POP-top gaslid.

When you pop the hoodlatch, from a hidden speaker you hear the Pssst! sound effect bottle opening. In the engine bay is a clean-running stock 440 HP motor,(replacing the stock 318), running with vintage air, and--a six pack. You can't have a Coke car without a six-pack. Breather is adorned with Coke graphics and correct bright Coke red paint. When you close the hood, another sound effect of drinking is followed by a healthy belch.

This is a self-funded project, one which we believe was destined to happen and one which I hope that Coke will fully embrace post-meetings. Nascar used? Maybe. Since the Charger is Nascar History, and is the most popular star car, it would be nice to see our car complimented and used with a broad that has world-wide appeal.

If everything goes according to plan, we will be at the Nationals and parked @ the Year One trailer. So please come by to see the car in person.  (The site is almost done and pictures to follow.)

Thanks for Listening,

Steve Stanley

I think the car is awesome!  Being in the paint and body field, I can appreciate all of the work and time that went into this car.  Honestly, to me it looks like a 1:1 scale version of a Johnny Lightning toy car.  This looks like one of their "collector's edition" cars.  Great work, I'd love to see it one day in person.

Knowing what I know now about the expense and time associated with doing a restoration, if someone walked up to me and said "We will totally restore your car for you but it's going to have a Hello Kitty theme and you have to take it to car shows for a year before you can repaint it." I would say, "Get me a pen and a contract to sign."

Yea, just dreaming. I have a coworker who's friends with the owner of a 68 Charger from the Seattle area that underwent a total restoration in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range and I know he's been on the hook for shows for a couple years now. I forget who all of his sponsors are but the owner himself is in it for about $100k. He has wheel sponsors, engine sponsors, etc.

I really like the way the paint is executed, the break line between the colors on the side and the fogging required to get the green glass effect are most effective and balanced.

Gee, maybe people living in caves that want all Americans, or non believers of their faith dead, and drove planes into our buildings killing thousands of innocent people in the name of God got me a little bugged?  Sorry.  Also sorry I agree with someone else that I like Pepsi better, but I do believe I said I liked what he did a lot, a real lot.  That wasn't good enough?  I have no regrets of what I wrote and believe in, and still think he did a fantastic job, without what he believes is Gods help.  As for the comment about my car, it was the idea of friend betrayal that hurt me, nothing more.  That subject was resolved I'm please to say.  Oh by the way Brock, I do believe you have said things also that many didn't care to hear?

Well, kinda, almost.

Area Rule aircraft have the fuselage pinched where the wing meets the fuselage to avoid drag rise that the wing/fuselage intersection  would normally cause. Pointy noses and sharp leading edges allow the air to get out of the way.

For all the Pepski lovers, since it's called a "Coke Bottle Fuselage" Pepsi just wouldn't work, unless you're into really deep irony.

The more I see the car, the more I like it. I'd drive it anywhere. Nice work, Stanley.

Wow, I apologize if I came across rude to him.  I complemented his work each time, all I said is the God inspiration stuff gets to me a little. :shruggy:  He seems like a wonderful extremely talented person and I'm sorry if It came out otherwise.  I do have issues about hearing people blame God for tragedies or give him credit where it wasn't due.   As for this young man, ooops, sorry I didn't mean to come across as a hater.  I think I explained why I cringe when I hear people use the God word, nuff said.

One last time.  Steve, great job I love the car and the work you've done.  Welcome to the site. :icon_smile_big:

Oh, one more thing.  I don't agree with this.  " seriously folks alllot of you guys have been know to be thread bashers and maybe thats why we don't have more members, "  This is a forum about 40 year old cars.  I think we could be a dying breed.  This isn't a forum about Politics, or the gas crises, this is about old cars we like and not much more?  I think on that note this forum does  a fine job, and is not much different than any other.
Also as I remember, I clashed with some members when I was brand new here and I didn't run away.  All of them have become great forum friends in the long run.   :patriot: :nixon:

Personally I like it.... But I do like Pepsi better ;)
Ha ha, me too.  Different, very very different.  I like it, a lot.  The God inspiration part I could do without.  People that kill innocent people claim that route also.  I'm sure you would of done fine on your own.   Sorry, too many people, killing people these days in the name of God or whatever they are calling him, kinda turns me off when I hear that.



YOOOOOOOOOOO lighten up there buddy.... whats got your panties up your crack??? i think its a phrase.. you don't have to be such a player hater so fast huh??? this new member just popped by and already one post into it and a slap has been released...i bet if you post your car you would LOOOOOOVE  to hear the members criticize your talents.... Give a compliment and don't jump down the guys throat for saying hes god inspired.... seriously folks alllot of you guys have been know to be thread bashers and maybe thats why we don't have more members, Relax and lets your pants loosen up a bit ..... its a car for for goodness sake..... maybe you should tip your hat a bit...... and remember  DON'T HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME


Sure is a real disappointing to hear such bashing... some Americans we've become........... hate you neighbors.................. can we all get along without causing such a fuss....  damnnnnn!!







Wow, I apologize if I came across rude to him.  I complemented his work each time, all I said is the God inspiration stuff gets to me a little. :shruggy:  He seems like a wonderful extremely talented person and I'm sorry if It came out otherwise.  I do have issues about hearing people blame God for tragedies or give him credit where it wasn't due.   As for this young man, ooops, sorry I didn't mean to come across as a hater.  I think I explained why I cringe when I hear people use the God word, nuff said.

One last time.  Steve, great job I love the car and the work you've done.  Welcome to the site. :icon_smile_big:

Oh, one more thing.  I don't agree with this.  " seriously folks alllot of you guys have been know to be thread bashers and maybe thats why we don't have more members, "  This is a forum about 40 year old cars.  I think we could be a dying breed.  This isn't a forum about Politics, or the gas crises, this is about old cars we like and not much more?  I think on that note this forum does  a fine job, and is not much different than any other.
Also as I remember, I clashed with some members when I was brand new here and I didn't run away.  All of them have become great forum friends in the long run.   :patriot: :nixon:

Hey Robert (right?) (And to all)

Thanks for the welcome and no hard feelings here. Thanks for looking at the car, and I'll post more photos soon.

You know, I think you guys could potentially overdose on the little smiley icons.

Take care,

Like Pete said, dont take all the haters comments to heart. I think the car is cool, its unique :yesnod:

:yesnod: And I don't take it to heart, guys, it's all good. Thanks for the reassurance.

  Hey, they can't treat our pledges like that, only we can treat our pledges like that...BTW, I dig the Coke Charger, nothing wrong with a trunk cooler either.

Well, I like it. It reminds me of growing up in the 60's and 70's, when people customized their cars, put wild paint jobs on them, etc. When you went to a car show back then, you saw all kinds of unique machines instead of rows and rows of cookie-cutter stock vehicles like at todays shows. Thank God there are still people interested in building unique vehicles. Amazing how all of the rebels, free thinkers, and non-conformists of yesterday have become the conformist, like-minded people of today.

As for the Coke promotion idea, they may embrace it, but if they are not interested, they may threaten to sue for copyrite infringement and unauthorized use of their intellectual property. Or they may offer to buy it from you, and if you dont sell, they may then tell you to get rid of the paint scheme. I hope they decide to work with you, because I think its a really cool car and I'd love to see it in person even though I'm a Pepsi drinker.

Now you've got me thinking old school about my 69 Charger since it needs paint. Maybe I'll start checking out some painted lace, endless lines, and air-brush murals - lol.

Why not do it. Would you guys rather see a Chevy or ford get more exposure? The way I see it is another charger that a lot more people can see how beautiful they are..

What is the best soda? coke
What is the best muscle car? charger

so its win win.

That's from a couple of years ago, I don't think Coke ever picked it up.  I don't even know if it's still being shown?

 I love it, and I'd love to see it up close and personal,..

Yeah it was meant to simulate the green tinge that old Coke bottles used to be.  It isn't something I would do either but there are a LOT of subtle touches that were done to the car that can only be appreciated when you see it in person.  It's too bad Coke didn't take it on as a promtional vehicle.  They could have used it in print and tv ads and maybe even built a whole campaign around Coke Chargers.

awesome job on that car but everyone knows God drinks RC Cola, not Coke.

If I remember correctly, they had it rigged up so when you opened the trunk, it make a pop and fizzing noise like opening up a real bottle of coke. :o

The trunk is a cooler.

Yes, thats why I thought the pop and fizzing noise was from the trunk.

Don't listen to some of these people  we all are entitled to do our cars as we wish. Just like mine l used to worry about what others think but then l woke up its my car and if l want in one way and others don't like it  go get one and do it your way. Even with the stupid  hot wheel on them(which really looks stupid  and a lot of these so called builders are doing)  Do what you like and want  no one is going to like each others taste.  If ya want to see something really stupid look at the sema rat rod charger :eek2:
