Are 69 Chargers really that hard to find? Some of us could use all the 68 parts you don't need.

I will keep people in mind that need the parts  my reason for wanting to convert this car are:

I know this car well I have owned itfor almost 10+years the floors and frame are spotless. its not an R/t

yes IMO The 69s were hard to get into that is how ended up getting into 68s years Ago.and Nowadays 69 are even harder to get into especially 4 speed BB cars.
as for parts most are spoken for  except the grille  and smaller items

I will keep everyone posted if and when parts become available

And you already know your car is 1 of 74. Rare obviously - maybe not the most desirable combo but, man, I'd have a hard time modifying it. Of course, I have a hard time modifying any of mine so I guess it's a personal preference. If it were mine, I'd hide the fact that it was originally a 68 or you'll be explaining why you converted it (halfway) to a Daytona clone. Some of these Mopar guys are nuts and will call you all sorts of names (or write disparaging things about you in a magazine) if they found out you used a rare original for something like that. Are the floors really that important when you're cutting holes in the quarters?

Thank you guys for not crucifiying (YEt). the car has no engine or trans so that was another reason.  again thank your concern. nothing is set in stone so we will see what happens over the next few months.

Thank you guys for not crucifiying (YEt)....

You are very welcome.    We'll get there eventually (especially the '68 guys). 

Here is the link to the MagnumForce '68 Daytona build. http://www.magnumforce.com/cars/daytona/daytona.htm

[200MPH]

Well after giving it a lot of thought i think im going to go ahead and find a 69 or 70 for my Dayclona project my 68 shell maybe for sale!

[69bronzeT5]

Good choice

[200MPH]

well i came to a decision after some friendly persuasion and help from a member and good friend BlackCharger. I was able to acquire a 70 charger in pretty decent shape  more details later.car is Plumcrazy with white top and interior 383 2 bbl. console Automatic. A/c car. here is a pic from my phone it looks better in person

[hemisid]

really need to finish up on the 66' 426 first, then the 68c later ....

[DonC1]

' course you could always take the 68 and turn it into a clone of Raffi's ex Supercharger.

[nascarxx29]

Jim Rodgebaugh built a supercharger replica that should preview in magazines soon .Theres room for a few more  

[nascarxx29]

Yeah I was there at his Home  april 24th, 25th for the Build party for that car.  He always does some awesome things and it was nice to be a part of it.  I got my 68 from was him 7 years ago.

as i mentioned I found a 70 to use instead of my 68 so no more 68 Daytona Idea
