Still for sale... and still the ugliest Charger I've seen

[471_Magnum]

Only way this thing is ever going to sell will be to put it back the way mother Mopar intended.

I think they have already parted out the original wheels.

Rick took it for a short drive around the Nats a few years back and came back and said it's a piece of crap...   or words to that effect 

That thing is so cut up it can never be restored to original or even come close to recouping costs in todays market.    It was a dumb idea a few years back,   time only proved it.

Although I can certaintly appreciate the work involved to build something like this. As the work looks impeccable . But , These kinds of cars cater to a different crowd. The seller just has to find that crowd.
In a sick sorta  way I like it, but in the same way think it's butt ugly

[Red Ram]

It would look so much better if they kept the original grill concept. It kind of looks like a giant Duster the way it is now.

[TeeWJay426]

And with a price of 150K, it will be for sale for quite a long time.

nothing looks goofier than a donked out Foosian build. I bet theres a special level in hell just for the guys that disgrace a car in this manner.

[Patronus]

I could never get past the "old lawn chair" grill. Like it was scrap or something...

And since they and it are here, what does that tell you about the cars in hell?

[Ghoste]

I've tried in the past to take the high road on that car and appreciate the effort required but I'm not feeling tactful today so I'm just going to spit out my true thoughts and say that it is one butt ugly car.  The fact that they spent a lot of money and effort to do it only makes it worse.  What kind of moron spends that kind of money to destroy a car in that way and what kind of moron performs the work and kids themself that they are some sort of master craftsman?

[Mike DC]

It's not that hard to model a car in 1/4th scale or something to see what the final result would look like.  For $150K I would have made sure the end result looked better before I hacked up a decent Charger. 

 

[SFRT]

from the front it looks like a Duster.

[BombSquad]

The grill is what makes a Charger! What a shame that it looks like my 70 duster now, a lowly A-body

I would take the rear IFS though, unless its an axle-hopping nightmare.

This reminds me of that hideous $200k red protouring one that shows up every few weeks

[Black Charger]

That looks like one of Chip Foose's abominations. I cannot understand why Foose has the reputation that he does. I have yet to see a Foose creation that I actually like. He takes a perfectly good car and turns it into a gaudy "Hee-haw mobile."

Rant over.

[tan top]

dont know what the guys were on wrecking a second generation !! lot of awesome  work /hours  & skill gone in to that build !! but ! its crap   ,       

intresting idea on the hemi motor !    all that needs is painting propper color orange  !! wonder if they would sell just the motor & trans 

[Hemidog]

It gives me endless joy to see that they have problems with selling that POS.

[Ghoste]

Agreed!  The next time someone gets to running down the General Lee for being a (insert insult of choice here), and I'm as guilty as anybody, all of you DOH fans need to just reference this Frankenstein's abortion and put all of us haters back in our place.   

[mikepmcs]

It would have to have different wheels right off the get go for me.  Change the front grille around a little bit and the wheels and I'd drive it no problem. Lots of money though. Too rich for me.  If I had that cash I would go ahead and get a Daytona most likely.

[Silver R/T]

that's hideous. I do like suspension on there though

[dkn1997]

4x4 charger, neat concept.

[Darkman]

You guys crack me up! One minute you guys say "it's your car do what you want with it", then when someone does, you attack them.

I admit, that in this instance the car looks hideous, in particular the front grill and rear lights, the interior looks stupid with no rear seat and you can see the carpet overlap.

On a positive note, the engine bay looks fantastic so neat and everything hidden, and the suspension setup and drivetrain looks good too (not sure about the exhaust though). I think attacking custom cars is unfair, in particular Chip Foose. He is an award winning "custom" car designer not restorer so his cars may not appeal to some. I doubt I will be posting the pics of the rebuild of my Charger on here because there will be a few things I will do to it that you guys will not like and I don't feel up to being attacked by the few that only like the full production line restorations.

My passion is to own and drive a Dodge Charger, that's all! I have loved these cars from the day I knew what cars were (largely thanks to the DOH) and the fact that we have had Chryslers in our family from as long as I can remember. For me to have a Charger that I like and can legally drive on the road, some serious modifications have to be done to it, like converting it to right hand drive (insert gasp and shock horror here), so bring on the attacks     but I will always appreciate some aspect of any work done to bring back a 40+ year old car from the scrapyard!

[vancamp]

i personally dont have a problem with it, its not my car or money, do i like it no not really parts of it are kinda neat for what it is, and i can definetly appreciate the work that went into it but the car as a whole is not my cup of tea.

You guys crack me up! One minute you guys say "it's your car do what you want with it", then when someone does, you attack them.

your are new to the forum so you would not know about the first time we all looked and commented on this "thing".  so here is a summation:

they took a car that was a timex and turned it into a happy meal watch that is broke and looks like shit.

the end.

[471_Magnum]

I remember when they unveiled the thing on the 2007 Hot Rod Power Tour. It about made me puke at the time. Didn't run for shit either, although Herb McCandless did some impressive donuts in it.

[ZSmithersCharges]

The first time I looked at it I couldn't quite put my finger on it.  Now that I look again, I figured it out.  The lack of front bumper leaves the front end looking rediculous with that huge gap that was never meant to be there.  I also don't know why they didn't keep the wheels on it from the magazine photo shoot... Much better than the trash thats on there now.
