Just had a phone interview with a USA Today reporter (Anthony Breznican) about my Charger and the effects of the new DOH movie coming out on its value.     
Asked me why I liked my car, how long have I had it, do I like General Lee clones etc.

Put in a nice plug for our site as well :cheers:


Update!!!  Mr. Breznican emailed me back and he said the article will run in Wednesday's paper now......

Sounds like it wasn't even about the new Charger...wishful thinking, I know.  They probably already have the official company line from DCX on the 06 that they have to print, so there was no need to ask questions.

Knowing USA Today, they'll probably take all the info you gave them and process it down into one cute little pie chart.

Congrats Chris. Glad that they at least picked someone that knows something about the older Chargers.

So Chris just curious but what did you tell them your thoughts on Chargers being cloned into DOH replica's?

As long as they aren't being crushed i'm all for it. Doesn't matter to me if its a modified car, stock car, race car, General Lee clone, or what as long as they are still being driven.

That sounds pretty cool. How did you get picked to be interviewed?

I wouldnt call it success.....the guy emailed me about 4pm asking if I would want to talk.

He was doing a web search about 69 Chargers and he liked my site.   He also noticed the registry site as well.

Ah so now I can tell my wife to scratch picking up a copy of tomorrows paper and get one on Wednesday then.


As long as they have a picture of a 69 charger in the article and not of a 70 it will be a good article. Only kidding.
