Is the gorgeous green 69 Charger a picture from 69?  They had radial GT tires back then?
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

remember it could allways be worse..





i hear chrysler is merging with lancia soon...

imagine this with a cross hair grill...


Brock Samson

naw that's from a recent show last yr or the yr before the display was done up to look like '69 as I recall
I thought it was a groovy pic though.. really groovy..   :smilielol:

anyhow, i understand this will be sold as a dodge or chrysler  with a chrysler grill or some such..



but lancia was responsible for the stratus one of te most badd assed cars of all time...

in the early '70 it owned europian rallys finally vanquishing the long lived alpine relnaults


i allrerady know youze guys don't care for them, but those cars were bad assed in their day..

Makes sense since there's a 68 in there also.  The 69 Charger grille is one great looking grille.  I can't get enough of it.  :yesnod:

Keep them coming! I had a GT, fun cars, and Stratus ralley cars kick butt! I'm hoping Fiat wake up Dodge....their racing history goes way back. Check out the old school SIATA modifications for them it's like tuners in the 50's. Many don't know TVR was a kick butt line of cars and MG made an MGV (V8 powered MG-GT) Had I guy I new back in my Triumph/Jag./MG shop days that put an alloy V8 (Rover/Buick) in a TR-6 with a 4 speed overdrive, IRS set-up! My retired SCCA racer TR-4 Had dual side draft DCOE Webbers, a Sig-Erison racing cam and hand made headers. With 12 to 1 compression I blasted many big block GM's and stomped a 69 Vett so bad one night he followed me till I stopped and could not believe what he could not catch! The Triumph over drive gave you 8 forward gears and let you stay glued to the power band...guys would shit when I just kept shifting into more gears as I ran away up to 120 mph. The Jensen Interceptor came with a 440 and was my first experience with a big block Mopar. We had an old tired one a customer brought in for restoration, my boss said: "get it running so we can evaluate it for them". When that 440 barked to life in that small coupe the whole shop stopped and came over...the boss yelled "open the bay doors quick!", I flopped the hood shut and rolled the door open, he hopped in and backed it out and lit the tires and shot down the street! That's when I knew....I was getting a 440 someday! With the builds I've seen here I'd love to see a Jensen done right the speed would be incredible!   :2thumbs:

I'm a firm believer that just once everybody into Mopars should drop the hammer on a 500 C.I. 440 stroker with a straight gear and a posi....



The primal feel of whatever car body fighting you as hard as you fight it can't be described to the average guy/gal....

The moment I knew I'd have a 440 was one night I was out in my 5.0 Mustang that was running high 6's at the time(on Nitrous), with a stick...
Pulled out on the local strip late one night, got some gas and while I was filling the tank an older Black guy smoking a cigar pulled in in a 4dr '70 Satellite with a 4-speed..now, being a Mopar guy before I went to the dark side for a brief moment, I had to check it out...
Ask'd him about it and he said it was a 440 4-speed with a Dana 60 all out of a '70 RR he had wrecked...The 4dr was all he had at the time, so he dumped the drivetrain in it...Well, Long story shorter, he pulls out, I pull out, we "hit 'em" and Bout the time I got good in second gear off the bottle, he pulls up beside me laughing, chewing on his cigar, and grabbed a gear and was Gone......I never saw him or the car again.....I vowed right then and there I'd never fool with another small block ever again.....

Cool, someone put some thought into that.  :yesnod:

I still have, at moms anyhow, the old lego expert builder auto chassis. Need to wrap a Charger body around it. =) It was rear engine though. Transmission/suspension/steering/seats.. I had lots of fun playing with that.

It also made a cool dragster.
