My 78 Magnums new look!

[magnum]

Hey guys got the Magnum painted and wondered what you think! All I have left is the rear window tint and exhaust which I'm on the fence about....The last pic is my nephew who likes to help his uncle!

[Foreman72]

that thing looks great!!

[BIRD67]

I love it!!

[Manfred318]

Looks great, but I have to say Im not a big fan of the "Magnum" call outs on the sides. To me they seem kinda out of place. I wouldnt turn it down by no means tho.

[ACUDANUT]

 Hmmmm, I like the tires and wheels.

[Back N Black]

I love it!    but not the decals.

[chargerboy69]

I love it!    but not the decals.

I agree.  The car looks great. . . . the decals.    But hey, it's your car, can not please everyone.

[Ghoste]

The stance is tough!  I love it.

[mikepmcs]

Nice ride. 

[tan top]

looks mean    not keen on the decals either , but looks good 

[TruckDriver]

That is awsome!!! 

[41husk]

I say  nice looking car!

[stripedelete]

Looks good. I like the wheels.  Did you consider painting the vinyl top black or navy?

[gtx6970]

I've always had a soft spot for a 78-79 magnum cars , hands down one of the if not the best driving cars I've ever had.
If the right car came along in black or red with red interior and T-tops , I might be tempted

[471_Magnum]

Lose the decals... and let some air out of those shocks.

[Nacho-RT74]

GREAT!

I would love a T top too... black with black int, or black with gunmetal ( if available ) or black with gold ( if available ), or black with red.

[Nacho-RT74]

the wing suits very well on them:



I think in fact LOT BETTER than on 2nd and 3rd gens

[Brock Samson]

[GunMetal]

Hey , I think I found a donor car for my 72 T-top Charger.

well, we can start about I DON'T LIKE DAYTONAS LOL... average, I don't like winged cars. and yes, sorry, I think suits better on it than on a Daytona... matches better the front clip body shape... like this ---> /  ( at least headlights ) then pillars /, then wing /,

and the rear clip with this V shape, something like an arrow

/  <---- wing
\  <---- tail panel

on a Daytona you have the Nose like this < ( maybe effective but still ugly ) than doesn't match with ANYTHING on the car, plus the straight cut on tail panel, nothing related with wing beside just the A pillars

sorry, I began studing architecture at University, and I allways think on design stuff.


I'm not saying would do it, BUT still think suits better

[Nacho-RT74]

So Dave.......got an opinion on that?

it looks...

[Nacho-RT74]

BTW, magnum... I would choose to fit the MAGNUM decal on the door front hump. I think is a better location.

but still, car loooks grrrrreat

[ACUDANUT]

Someone PLEASE photo chop a 71-72 Charger with T-Tops....PLEASE 

[Nacho-RT74]

Someone PLEASE photo chop a 71-72 Charger with T-Tops....PLEASE 

there is/was a 72 with Daytona wing and I think nose too... and TARGA roof, made around... not good made though. I'll try to grab you some pic if I find

[Grim Jhaixus]

I like it AND the decals.

I also like it with the obnoxious wing, kinda matches the slope on the headlights, and 3rd gens are way better wingless.

But I wouldn't take my opinion if I were you. I order pizza with spinach, mushrooms and anchovies.

[Nacho-RT74]

mushrooms and anchovies are WAY TO GO on a mediterranean taste pizza ( pluss pepperoni, black olives, onions and some stuff more )

but SPINACH ? 

[Grim Jhaixus]

Yep, spinach. Try it some time. I double-dog dare ya.

[Nacho-RT74]

no way, I hate spinach ... I REALLY puke with spinach LOL

[TUFCAT]

I saw at least three very nice magnums at Carlisle this year. One was for sale in the car corral pavillion. They still look awesone after all these years.

[magnum]

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I took her to Dyersville over the weekend to meet James best and Ben Jones.I parked in the parking lot next to where the car show was and people were taking pics of the Magnum! I never entered it so it was a nice feeling to see them hanging around it taking pics! On the way home we heard a loud noise, my vinal top came unglued and popped up like a big dome! Now I don't know if I'm going to paint it or re vinal it ...It was funny cause we wondered why people were looking at us funny on the interstate . As for the decals they are staying and no not going to let the air out of the shocks! It sits just wright!

[mauve66]

absolutely, i think every dodge should have a wing

[472 R/T SE]

There's usually always some nice cars in the parking lot of shows.

Your wheels look real good on it.  Nice ride.  Are you running a Ford truck Dana?

[Brock Samson]

   




  Ya' know Nach, It's sure a good thing the "Wing nuts" never look much outside of the areo cars section...

   cause if there's one thing us Charger lovers have plenty of are opinions...

Isn't there a pic floating around of a b-body wagon with a Daytona wing on it?

[Nacho-RT74]

THERE IS A SUPERBIRD ( or it is a Daytona ? don't rmemeber ) with somekind of a rear cab instead the trunk like a Station Wagon...

[Brock Samson]

Yeah Natcho It's a green S.B. the Wheelchair bound owner fabbed up so he could still roll in and drive, somehow. I've only seen one picture of it, but the "Wing Nuts"  might have more pictures of it, I for one would like to see the drivers' controls and that Plymouth is a true testiment to the lenghts a real MOPAR nut will go to drive his beloved musclecar. Gotta' love someone willing to keep on truckin' no matter what adversity befalls them. 
But Natch, If you request Pics of that SB better do it over there you don't really want to call attention to this thread here - where you compleatly disparage all the wing cars and say that Magnum looks alot better, Do you?..     


   

[Nacho-RT74]

LOL

and in that way I can stop the highjack... don't ? LOL

naaah, I don't care about those, I was just mentioning. ( beside I found the winged magnum just by casuality )

[472 R/T SE]

That car still amazes me every time I see it.  Wasn't the story behind it that the owner had a disability and this mod allowed him to enter & drive the car?  Am I all wet on that recollection?

Yes, the owner was a quadraplegic (sp?) who loved the Superbirds.  With the modification, the owner was able to ride in the car and look out through the viewing window above the roof.  The driver told me that the center section of the bumper was hinged so it would pivot out of the way, and a ramp would be extended for the owner to get into the enclosure.  The car was modified in the 1970s when few people cared about the wing cars, but was done for all the right reasons... the owner loved that car!  I have heard several rumors about where the car is now, but have not been able to confirm any of them.
