Found old photo of a 70 R/T( Better pic!!!)

[68ChargerJMP]

I was at my moms house the other day and seen an old photo on the computer desk. I picked it up and seen there was an old car that  someone was leaning on. The photo is from 71 or 72 , and is very faded and in bad shape. So I stared a little harder and seen a R/T stripe around the ass end. Then I remembered my uncle telling me of some "green R/T" my mom had years ago. It turns out that her brother in law let her have it when he went overseas for the Army. Anyway I noticed the trunk key locks position,and seen how it kind of goes in the trim on a 70.Im 99 percent sure of it being a 70 Charger R/T. It looks like a lime green with black top and black interior. My mom says it was an automatic. Get this....she said she sold it for a few hundred dollars. Interesting This is the first time Ive seen or heard of it being a Charger, even though my whole family knows how I am about my 68. Crazy.

My mom had a 70 R/T SE,440 automatic car too. It was triple F8 green. It was our family car from 1971-1982. She sold it for $650.00,with an NOS Drivers side rear quarter panel. Someone wacked the left rear quarter,and they bought the panel,but never fixed it. I used the car several times,when they went on the road(my step father was a long haul truck driver) and raced the kids from school with it! I never lost a race! I told the guys that I could beat them with my moms car,I guess they thought my mom would have a station wagon or something! They were wrong!

they probably didnt want you upset at your mom since she sold it so cheap...thats my guess

[68ChargerJMP]

Ill try to scan the photo tomorrow, but Im telling you, its real bad.

[68ChargerJMP]

I have a pic but I cant seem to remember how to post it.

[694spdRT]

As long as you have it sized correctly just click the reply button. Where it says "attachment" go browse for the filename you want and select it. When you post the pic should be there.

[68ChargerJMP]

Well, I use photobucket, and it resizes it for you. I copied the file name to the attachment line and pushed post but it wont do anything.

[68ChargerJMP]

maybe this will work...

[68ChargerJMP]

....F**k it...I cant get it.

[charger Downunder]

Saw the pic are you sure its a charger

[Silver R/T]

some kind of car in the background, but not sure if its charger

[68ChargerJMP]

What other Dodge has the sail panels and the the sunk in back window? Can u see the stripe around the rear.

[68ChargerJMP]

If  look close u can see the trunk lock positioned part of the way in the trim on the tail panel.

You don't need to put the link in the attachments window.

Just cut/paste it between [img*] [/img*] tags (minus the *s) to make it appear in your post.

Here's another pic..........Someone tell me... is it a Charger???

[ramit]

Looks like an old ford to me.

a falcon

[68ChargerJMP]

A Falcon?........with a stripe around the ass end? Look at the vinyl top,the rear window, the bubbled out quarter panel... Am I the only one who sees this? Compare these two pics, maybe this will help.

[Charger Aficionado]

  Looks like a Charger to me.  (Better pic!!!)   

[Rolling_Thunder]

its a 69 Charger...    ummmm   green...   

[greenpigs]

Look at the deck lid..that isn't a Charger. To me it looks like a 68 or so Ford Galaxy they had a slightly sloped roof like a 68-70 Charger and the vinyl top option.

[derailed]

the trunk looks to short to be a charger

[69_500]

I think I'll sit on the fence on this one for a while. Do you have any other photo's from another angle. Something about the roof line just doesn't say Charger to me. Seems the rear window goes more straight up and down than a chargers. It doesn't have the slope to it, but it could just be the angle of the camera during the picture too.

[chargervert]

The picture is taken from a weird angle,but it does have the upward curve on the end of the trunk lid like a charger

[694spdRT]

I am going with a '70 Charger because of the body color tailpanel and trim. I think the shot is taken at a higher point or maybe the car was on an incline. There looks to be a stripe or some shadows on the decklid making it look different too. The rear window trim and recess sure look like Charger pieces to me. Plus, you can almost make out the round remote mirror on the driver door.  

Most of the pics you see look like the one Charger posted with a straight shot from directly behind. This one is just from a different perspective IMO.  

[viper r/t]

I might be wrong but I believe it's a charger

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

 70 Charger.....look at the relation of the trunk lock and the tailpanel trim in both photos

[ramit]

The reason I said it looks like an old ford to me is because the trunk lid looks like it has the rounded curve of a late 60's fairlane, torino, or galaxie.  

[ramit]

O.K. now I see what I thought was a rounded lip on the trunk edge looks like an R/T stripe to me now.   I just might be leaning towards a charger now.   Maybe it is a Datsun 240Z (just kidding).

[chargervert]

Now that Japanieese comment is a little uncalled for!

[RT DAVE]

Is there some reason you don't trust your mom and your uncle when they tell you she had an R/T?  Shouldn't that end the debate right there, more or less?  Did you show her the picture and ask her about the car or is she no longer with us?  If that's the case, my apolgies for asking.   Take care... 

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

omg if any of you see anything other then a 70 charger you are totally retarded-MATT

[bull]

Yea, I'm not understanding why anyone would think that's a Ford product. Nothing else out there has sail panels that are that long. Even a GTO. Look at the sail panel to the right of the woman and baby. If that's not a Charger I don't know what is.

[Charger_Fan]

 70 Charger.....look at the relation of the trunk lock and the tailpanel trim in both photos

That's what it looks like to me too.
One thing's for sure, it's NO Galaxie. Look at the two ribs on the trunk lid...and in the 2nd pic, the vinyl doesn't wrap around the sail panels like a Charger does...so no check mark trim on these cars.

[greenpigs]

omg if any of you see anything other then a 70 charger you are totally retarded-MATT

Thats like calling the kettle black.

You beat me to it.

[ramit]

Could it be a 55 chevy?

[TK73]

[68ChargerJMP]

Thanx for the replies. I believe it is a 70 Charger myself. As far as my Mom goes, she said she remembered having an "R/T" of some sort,but couldnt remember what. Shes not much of a car person,and it was 36 years ago.

[sthemi]

It is a charger, who elso has checkmark moldings

[69_500]

The more I look at it the more it looks like a Charger. Just not 100% though, probably 95%. I looked through a stack of hundreds of pictures to see if I had a photo from about the same angle of a 68-70 charger but to no avail. But the vinyl makes it appear to be a charger as well as the trunk lock position. The rear window just looks weird from that angle though.

[2fast4u]

   I don't think it's a Charger guys.....It looks more like a 67 Chevelle or 67 Skylark IMO!

[68ChargerJMP]

...a Chevelle with a '70 bumble bee stripe on the rear? Dont think so.

[greenpigs]

...a Chevelle with a '70 bumble bee stripe on the rear? Dont think so.

I guess you can make out more detail in that pic of your mom holding you as that deck lid is of the non-stripe variety.

[69charger2002]

also those chevelles didn't have vinyl top chrome that looks like a charger.. that car in the photo is a 70 charger, i'd bet money on it

[694spdRT]

Are all these other possibilities just being mentioned for fun? 

It is or was a '70 Charger.

[ramit]

1940 ford?   I wonder how long this thread is going to go on for?

[ramit]

Look at this pic.  It has to be a 1940 ford.

[68ChargerJMP]

Hey greenpigs,what do u mean that decklid is of the non-stripe variety? 70 Chargers had R/T stripes didnt they? u cant see the stripe on the pic posted? That darkness at the end of the decklid is the stripe, if u look close u can see the big stripe sandwiched between the little stripes on each end.

[chargervert]

That car is a 70 Charger R/T,I know I have block sanded enough of them to know! And I still have more to go!

[Charger_Fan]

Look at this pic.  It has to be a 1940 ford.

[chargervert]

Ok Charger fan You Got me! it looks like a 40 Furd to me! Guess what I got two of them too! One of them has no roof!

[greenpigs]

Hey greenpigs,what do u mean that decklid is of the non-stripe variety? 70 Chargers had R/T stripes didnt they? u cant see the stripe on the pic posted? That darkness at the end of the decklid is the stripe, if u look close u can see the big stripe sandwiched between the little stripes on each end.

Yes a 70 Charger RT had a stripe, that darkness looks like a shadow to me. Where is the stripe on the rest of the decklid? is it the angle? is it because its a 40 Ford?  Its not that big of a deal but I still think it isn't a 3rd gen Charger.

They don't have any other pictures?

[68ChargerJMP]

Yeah, its not not really a big deal. I was just curious. But it must be your computer, because even on the posted pic of it, u can see that it is clearly a stripe on the decklid. The reason u cant see it on the right side, is that my sisters head is popping up in the corner of the picture. Thanx.
