First pic is an original paint V2 Hemi Orange R/T (CA car as well)

Second is Paul's new 99 99 Omaha Orange original paint R/T (CA car as well)

Notice how much brighter the 99 99 color is?   HO is a reddish orange

V2 has small gold metalflake in the paint while Omaha Orange is a solid color...


Just a comparison for your viewing pleasure :thumbs:

Numbers matching.  Car owned for 31 years (I'm the second owner).  Has original paint, vinyl top.  10,500 miles on rebuilt motor, 101,000 miles on the chassis.  Always garaged.  Minor front-end damage.  Needs restoration.  Car runs.  Car located in Hesperia, California.

So what is up with the "Minor front-end damage"?

A little touch up to the center grille fins and the I piece.  The bumper could be strainghtend also.  Fender has a small dent.

I told Chris i was gonna make it triple black and he slapped my hand..   :rofl:   :rofl:

This Charger is so well preserved i am not going to do anything i dont have to, just keep the mechanicals up and running in good condition and leave the rest alone.  I'm going to try and preserve it just the way it is.  It does need a new headliner though, and the carpet could be replace, but other than minor cosmetic care, its going to stay original as possible.   :yesnod:

Paul

  I'm right with him on that,I wanted a 3x9 in the worst way that every time I saw one I thought about changing my B5 ,white top,white stripe R/T to 3x9,but could never bring myself to it as it is an orig R/T and to most ,the color combo is nice anyway.Good thing I did'nt as it came along anyway for me.If it was not an R/T,I would change anything all day long,but you do have a different car there to boot.Can't wait to see more pics!!!!!!

Man that one is a keeper and I agree, Don't change a thing. The side mouldings sure look out of place for a Charger but if they are factory I'd leave them on too. I've never seen one with them.

Nice find.  :2thumbs:

Side mouldings are not factory....maybe dealer installed.

Maybe Paul got the scoop from the old owner?

the owner didn't seem to know much about it. When we went to take pics, he kept asking my buddy and I if we knew if it was factory or not.

Ya he (the seller) said they were on the car when he bought it.  He bought it from a guy who was from Polland who special ordered it (obviously) because he "wanted to get chicks".   He told me the tach is not original, when he bought the car he bought a brand new one and put it in.  He also had a NOS center grille to give me, but some critters chewed on a couple of the fins over the years. 

I'm writing up my story and i'll post it shortly.  Stay tuned. :icon_smile_cool:
