Nice color but not really feeling the wheels or the interior treatment.  Has a million pics in the ad though

Also love how that state the fender tag is the "original" & not a reproduction........

NOT!! :scratchchin:


PS---dont get stuck in the rain!

I don't like the blacked out bumper or those rims with the rubber bands mounted on them :badidea: Also, it looks like there is a hole in the tailight panel next to the R/T emblem.

Black bumpers? I don't think so.  :shruggy:
Malicious, vindictive, spiteful, cynical, pessimistic, sarcastic, & antagonistic. And those are my good traits!

 :iagree: If you gotta paint bumper, I would do it body color. Not a big fan of the wheels either, but I would gladly take the car if given to me, lol.

Something funny on the fender tag. The exterior color is F8 - which is dark green metallic right? Then the code for the upper door frame is T3 - bronze?

that bumper is rediculous and those wheels...  :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

Worst charger I seen.

The guy states original sheetmetal, i guess he doesn't consider the trunk floor sheetmetal, because there should be drain plugs right?
I don't see the drain plugs near the tail panel and trunk lock support. :shruggy:

damnnnnn you guys are harsh... the wheels are too big for the ride. The bumpers are ok black.... where the car misses is.. no heater a/c no wipers, terrible dash, stock suspension, wimpy brakes. and that radio..... guys that build these cars make them too "new" instead of working with what is there.... overall i like it minor changes and would rock as a pro-touring ride... get an A for effort...

Somebody get me EXzibit on the phone.   :apimp:

This car ain't done yet.

How did it escape the "Pimp my Ride" shop Without being completed?

With all that left over space in the trunk there's plenty of room for a snowcone maker, a bowling ball

scrubber AND a dog washing station.

This thing should have at LEAST 32 TV's.

Where are the 32 TV's? :smoke:

Eh...  not my taste.    :Twocents:


Different wheel / tire combo,  set of new chrome bumpers and some wipers and stuff and it would probably be a decent cruiser.

I like the black rear bumper...not sure about the front though...I think they should have blacked out the grille to match.  I think everyone has already stated the problems with the car so I won't repeat them

Come on now boys...you know you shouldn't bash other peoples cars on this site!!
I mean, look at all the shit I got into when I stated the obvious about that black Charger from Europe that time...

Which reminds me...THAT car was a piece of shit!!
This one is a whole lot nicer!! (Except for those wheels, tires, bumpers, etc).

It's not a car that matches my preferences either.  But I still wondered why: (1) there's no taillight cover in the trunk, (2) they didn't swap a trunk mat that doesn't have rust spots on the underside, and (3) they didn't touch up the upper pad on the passenger rear quater (where the black dye has flaked off the original tan pad)?? 

Whatever,

Neal

BROCK

Looks like a vibration @ 60mph

Did anybody happen to notice the severe pitting/wasting of the metal evident on the top of the grille mount? Not to mention the 'birthday cake icing' runs in the black paint near the hood spring!

Also, I find the prolific use of incorrect allen head bolts all around the engine compartment to be very irritating.
The dash looks like they let an apprentice stereo installer do the work. Awful, just awful.  :Twocents:

Hate the wheels, bumpers are ok because I HATE CHROME.  Based on the comments posted so far I won't bother digging into the rest of the car...

This Charger was on craigslist about 2 months ago (think it was Jacksonville) with an asking price of $20,000 - the ad was gone after a few days.

about the Charger: would be a nice looking Charger if it was done correctly.

TripleBlackGator

Ooops! I didn't see the eBay link. My opinion about the black bumpers still stands. The dash is horrendous and the wheels dictate the addition of a canvas top like on a covered wagon!  :D

Colors on the tag are correct but the build date, VON & the H31 code are all wrong.....bad fake tag.  I messaged the seller about changing his wording in the description to not say "original tag & not a reproduction" which this clearly is....

one more word about those rims / tires - I've seen more rubber on a condom!

I'd check in to the mud on the rocker panels. If things are solid there, I'd say the car isn't too bad. Most of the stuff I don't like about are a fairly easy fix - wheels would be the first to go.
I might not worry too much about the layout of the dash right away but I'd think about changing the bezel material as soon as possible - and maybe work it a little deeper in to the dash...
All in all, I think it'd be a good restore it while driving it project.

Of course, all that's moot until the issue of the fender tag is resolved and one gets to understand the true essence of what is for sale here.
The right person would have to buy it - either one that is happy with it as-is or is paying a price that is fair given what it would cost to make the changes they want to make.
That second scenario is tough because everyone will want to do different things and pay different prices for that extra work. Chances are if this were open to offers, you'd get a wide range...

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

That would explain the extra hole in back.
