After your Charger is done......what will you get?

After you finish your Charger or current Mopar project, what will you do next? Are you one of those guys who finishes a car, sells it and starts over or will you keep your finished car and start another project? If so, what do you guys plan on getting next? Once I finish my Charger, I'll do my Coronet, then I'd like to get either a '71 Roadrunner or '71 Charger. :yesnod:

I may or may not have plenty of projects to keep me busy for the next 30 years. But that depends on if my wife is reading or listening.  :icon_smile_big: sshhhhhh

once the charger is done I'd like to find a 340 demon for my wife.

I'd really like to get a '70 roadrunner one day, but for now I have plenty to deal with fixing up my charger..

Well as soon as the Charger is completed I'll be getting my 69 Road Runner wrapped up - then do a quicky resto on my 66 Satellite rag top...     then I'll be gone for about 6 years with no time to drive them    :'(

Once my Charger is finished, I will spend the rest of my spare time cruising with the wife and kids! There is only 1 car that I will rebuild, and that is the Charger. The wife wants a mustang for herself, but it won't be a resto job, we will get one of the new mustangs!

I didn't finish the Charger but I sure finished it off. :'(

I ended up with a '67 GTX a few years ago.  I'm having the body work done now.  It's my father-son project someday when he's ready.  He's seven next month so it'll be a few years.  He was two in the first picture of us taking the car apart.

I have to get a 1970 Super Bee, 4 speed pistol grip and a bench seat. I would love 3 carbs under the hood, but it really doesn't matter. I can say for sure, it will be rust free and can tell you that. I have had enough rust repair for a lifetime with my 1969 Charger! Johnny  :METAL:

In the next year or two I would really like to pick one up.

Something that gets miles per gallon instead of gallons per mile would be nice.

After....my NEW Challenger is paid off....
I need to finish restoring my Charger R/T. And I need to finish my Deora replica. And finish my 1968 resto-mod Barracuda Fastback. And detail my 1979 Chrysler 300...
Then, I want a Ford Model A, which I know of one sitting in a barn not far from my house.
Then, I want to re-purchase my old 1970 Challenger R/T that I searched for and found last summer.
And I wouldn't mind buying another Sweptline Dodge pickup, preferably a Dude in a high-impact color.

The only thing I really need to do is to start and finish restoring the trunk.  After that I have no real plans other than to keep it, and enjoy it.  I do think about picking up an old Honda Gold Wing.  I miss riding a bike.  I've had a bike since I was 16 and that's a long long time ago.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I want an A-body..... '71-'72 Demon or Duster first choice. Would really like anything Plymouth...never had a plymouth muscle car yet, always Dodges.

Belgium R/T -68

When the charger is ready to be driven (will never be finished) I will just enjoy it at occasions for the rest of my life and do
some improvements each winter. the next project is the -70 challenger convertible which will be a correct hemi clone.
If I ever can afford to finish that one I would like to have and restore a 1970 coronet.

 I am sooo anxious to get our car back and reassembled by mid summer. Unlike our younger years of camping, hiking etc my sweet wife is experiencing an escalating degree of mobility impairment. Every car show, car event, cruise-in, Peggy Sue or American Graffiti remembrance that comes along we will attend. You never know what hand you'll be dealt in life so we're going to get every tire smoking minute of pleasure from our dream car as possible!

I always seem to acquire another car to do while I'm in the middle of restoring one.  When I was doing my 70 SS Chevelle, I bought a 69 Malibu.  After I finished the 70, I tore the Malibu apart and then found & bought my Charger.  2 weeks after I tore into the Charger, I found a 70 Chevelle convertible and bought that which is my next project car.  I've never sold a car I've restored.  I've kept all 3.  I have bought & sold cars in between the ones I've restored though.  I'm really not content unless I'm restoring something.  I think I need to start getting people to pay me to restore their cars because I'm running out of room to keep mine.

With all of the stuff I would still like to do to my 68, I may not ever need another project.  At some point I would still like to play around with twin turbos on my 383.   :yesnod:

My 69 R/T is very close to being finished just A/C lines and things.  After that I have my rough high school 69 Charger that I've always wanted to do. I also have a solid 68 Charger that I drive but don't really want or have plans to finish so that might make way for a 70 Bee that I've had my eye on. The owner doesn't want to sell but you never know.

six-tee-nine

A car is never fully done, there's alway something that needs to be done or redone.....

However when I run out of work with the Charger I'll probably get me something to have fun with off the road.
I always loved Unimogs since they're about the most capable of road vehicle on the planet......so I might get me one of these.

Since the Charger is going to be a cruiser she won't change much once she's done. One of the reasons you haven't seen updates is there is none...well I got parts for my birthday and Christmas...engine, trans, both brand new, torque converter, disc brake set up for the front...and I just got for girlfriend day a 323, 8 3/4 chunk. Oh yeah and a brand new Holley electric choke carb., black fin valve covers and air cleaner...electronic ignition...the list goes on...know what? the car looks like just like it did. Waiting on Belvedere to get done...she needs an alignment and then test and tune at the spot I got for Mark at Christmas...right on the fence! The pic of the '65 is not up to date but the most recent I have and the second is the car that started Mark's love of everything Mopar!

DITTO!!!

I'm going to pick up my next project this Saturday.... a 68 that's pretty much going right in to (rented) storage. Hadn't planned on it, but it fell in to my lap. Couldn't say no. (I'll post details after I get it home.)
Later this summer, I expect to pick up my first project (the 69 money pit) after it gets some paint on it.
When that's done.....in 10 years at my pace, I hope to have won the lottery and moved out of town to a nice piece of land where I can build a shop big enough to house my insanity... and my 71 New Yorker (which thankfully isn't really a project but just needs a few things to make it better than it is.)

oldrock

Will be a long time before my son is finished restoring his 72 charger since he is paying for the restoration himself. I am just about finished restoring the 69 S code mustang coupe now. Not sure what i will restore next although I always have to have something I can work on. For me working on restoring a car is great stress relief.





I would not mind restoring an old 1970-72 GTO, a 69-70 mach 1, or even a 67-69 camaro. And of course if I found a good deal, I'd love to do another mopar. A challenger or cuda would be fun.
