Charger station wagon?

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!

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)

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

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

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.

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?  :slap:

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Thats a cool idea ask Chip Foose if it is possible he can make stuff like that. :2thumbs:
