Congrats for about the 10th time here Stuart.

Car looks pretty darn solid. Thanks for the pictures of Wayne's car too, as I've been asking him for a while if I can come and look at it. If I'm not mistaken I thought he had 2 500's, but he might have parted with one of them when he picked up the last daytona.

The piece your missing on the grille area is reproduced by Dayclona that I know of for sure, and they make a reproduction rubber piece that goes on the edges of it as well. Although the original rubbers don't look anything like the repro's.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride.  Congrats on the score, hard to believe, but they're still out there.

Quick question on your buddy's white 500, is that original paint?

Doesn't appear to be original paint on Wayne's car. Just basing that one the rear tail stripe, and a few other area's that are missing black overspray on them.

Sorry I didn't answer this one earlier Stuart. But the VIN for your new car was not one of the known VIN's. It was in a batch of known cars, but that particular VIN wasn't one that I knew of. I think I mentioned the ones around it on the phone the other day.

Stu made it a point to point out the reflector in the stripe is why I thought maybe it was original paint, why else would he have brought it up?   :shruggy:

Which brought the radiator support into question.

Quote from: hemi68charger on October 19, 2008, 11:04:33 AMWho cares about the fender tag all that much.. If it's got XX29 on the VIN and the body stampings match the seq#, good to go........

Yep, the XX29 is all the pedigree I'd need. :2thumbs:

no wayne just has one 500  and yes it appears to have been repainted  long ago , I was just figuring the reproduced it the was it had been . But i guess you never assume .

  wayne has all 5 real aercars his real bird is in minnesota being restored  , yes its a great collection of nascar history !!

You named a cat Charger 500? Must be one heck of a cat with a lot of upside/potential.  :yesnod:

I can't blame you I named my dog "six pac", because if I thought she was going to be a great dog when she grew up she would have been named "HEMI". Then again the other 2 dogs I had were named "R/T" and "Shelby".

Now I have to ask. What's up with the swastika and the words "Help Me" written on the dirty back driverside window?

I was going to ask the same thing about the window, and I was going to follow it up and ask you what the date code is on the rear glass. I'm figuring that it is a 98G for the rear window.
