Charger station wagon?

[Cooperman]

Not sure if it's possible (or even desirable!) but has anyone ever seen '68/'69 Charger front end sheet metal on a B body station wagon? It should bolt up at least right? Would the Charger panels even work with the Coronet doors? If it's too dumb a question to warrant an answer... Sorry!

[A383Wing]

Figure out a way to put hidden headlights like the Charger on that Coronet front grille and it would look great.

I don't think the body lines of the Charger front fender would line up with the Coronet door lines (or lack of)

[Ghoste]

Then again, with enough time and bondo nearly anything is possible.

[FJMG]

A 2-door wagon with a rear roofline similar to the magnum? HMMMMMM

[Ghoste]

Like this?

Looks better then the "chargers" they sell now days.

Yep. I seem to recall someone investigating this before and coming to the this exact conclusion.

Now cross-breeding a Gen 1 would be a piece of cake.

[Cooperman]

So no-one has ever tried '70 Charger fenders on a Roadrunner/GTX/Coronet in search of an easy-ish wing-car conversion? Or am I talkin' crap? 

[69bronzeT5]

I love '70 Coronet wagons, actually...that one is a wagon version of my '70 Coronet 500. I think a Charger wagon would be pretty cool.

[FJMG]

Great job Ghoste! but that's backwords, try it with the top rear of a magnum on the 2nd gen.

[bull]

I've seen pictures of one or two Challenger wagons someone cobbled together.

[mauve66]

theres a 4 door 1st gen out there also............ double

[A383Wing]

And a pick-up truck as well

So true. Someone supply the idea to BK Auto and it shall be completed in 2 months flat!!

[Ghoste]

I didn't do it, I just swiped it from somewhere else.

[UFO]

Didn't magnumcharger photoshop a 68 charger wagon a while back?

[bull]

[jerry]

you would be the first one on BK's door step trying to buy it .

IMHO the 2nd gen's signature look is tied up in the lines of the roof as much as any other area on it.  You can do anything you want to the lower half of that car but it's not gonna strike people as a CHARGER with the upper half redone.


Witness all the convertible 68-70 charger attempts.  Those things are never gonna look right until somebody does one that keeps the stock windshield frame from the steel-roofed 2dr models (it's lower & more laidback than the stock convert frames) and builds the cloth top to re-create the tunnelback rear window.

[Mikesmoparperformance]

Thats a cool idea ask Chip Foose if it is possible he can make stuff like that.

[Mikesmoparperformance]

Good Try but it dont look right! 

[70charginglizard]

would be an interinsting morf. Would want one for real but would be interesting thing to see.

Come on you photoshop people. Lets get on it and put something together here. lol

What's the name of the company that took all of the AMD Charger panels and put them on a Coronet 'vert?

I would guess they re-skinned the doors with Charger doors - or installed the 'vert vent windows into the Charger doors to fit with the 'vert's windshield.

That would then give you the body line to match up with the front fenders. That should allow for the whole nose to be changed over - for the most part anyway. After that, I think it would be a matter of finding the right places to cut and tweak to make the body line flow back from the doors.

I would imagine there would be some challenges along the way that I'm not seeing, but the door to fender line is the place to start, IMO.

The roof line, though.... I don't think I have an answer for that. Maybe the Magnum-like idea would work.

Of course, for all of this to fly, we just need to think of it, and call it, something else. Forget that it's Charger panels and just enjoy the lines for what they are.
Maybe we can do justice to the term "Chagnum" that has been applied to the new Chargers.

I like that purple Chally wagon, If I had the money I'd own it in a heartbeat.

[Big Sugar]

 

When I was  a young lad there was a fellow around the corner from me with a 68 Mustang wagonback, similar to the Challenger shown earlier, I'm thinking there was probably a aftermarket kit available for owners looking for a little more for their kids.

That's too cool. Thanks for finding that! 

[Nacho-RT74]

Charger station wagon... well, charger... yes of course...





being serious, somebody posted a 2 doors 69 or 70 Coronet ( don't remember ) with 70 Charger front end... Car was FROM MEXICO

[HemiTom]

I would like to see somone take a 71-73 Cornet wagon and put a 72 SE Grille,Power Bulge hood with Grabber. it would think it would fit right up...I had the chance to see the 2 side by side a while back and it looked very simular...i just might work...

[ACUDANUT]

 2 different shades of red and a waste of Charger parts. 

[HemiTom]

if you look closely...sitting behind the red car sits a green 71 charger...

it looks some AMC inspired

[mauve66]

that GTX wagon is spectacular

[mauve66]

needs a tona wing on the rear to keep it on the ground at 2 bills though

[FJMG]

Now we're getting somewhere; A DAYTONA wagon! Let's see, move the fastback so starts at the rear, make the window a little more vertical and have it open upward and fab the taillight panel to open down like a tailgate. Probably need some, dare I say it, "opera windows". The wing would probably envelope the rear window quite nicely!

[bsakal]

The roof on the red Charger wagon looks photoshopped, or am I so tired I missed something....

UPDATE: it is photoshopped, I must have had a brain fart.

[aussiemuscle]

I found a charger wagon pic. ok it's just a model, but gives you an idea what it may have looked like. can you imagine if they actually made these things?

The original picture..."before" I jerked it around!

I actually like the "jerked" picture

As strange as it may seem, I kind of like it!

[mlomaka]

Here are a couple that I had found over the years.





Heres another done by the same guy who did the photo chops.

[Chargerrtforme]

Please help me out here. What is that blue car?  The loop bumper is almost 71 RR?  Is that a 3rd gen Charger body with almost a RR bumper? What the yeah?

[mlomaka]

I believe it started out as a 72 Runner, but he changed the bumper and added Charger body lines to the side, especially the rear quarter. Now that I look at it, he also changed the wheel openings to the Charger style as well.

Dang that's a lot of work, for???
So did he actually make the bumper? So he  straightened the lower part where the bumper used to go up. Odd.

[mlomaka]

its all photochopped.

[Magnumcharger]

I'm glad you said it first!

[UFO]

They had wacky idea's back in the day too.

[67440chrg]

I think the 68 GTX wagon is sharp. To me the RR/Charger cross would be worth looking at if it were real.

[Magnumcharger]

They had wacky idea's back in the day too.

Looks a lot like Harry Bradley's work!

[mlomaka]

I don't mind saying the pics I posted were chopped. He is someone I do work for occasionally since I do renderings. My renderings are by hand, but I also do it on the side.
