HLPAG - Truemusclecars.com -- '69 Charger sure LOOKS nice

[tpetty]

I thought I had found my dream car -- a '69 black RT, no vinyl, and with a MANUAL.    Ran across truemusclecar.com website, got excited, but then found a reference that it is the revamped HLPAG.  I found plenty of references to HLPAG here on this site.  Dreams -- for now -- dashed.

$50k and they can't even put the right upper radiator hose on there! It's kinked and everything  

Seriously though, it could be a nice, solid car. It seems like they have some that they just flip. The ones that they "restore" are the real trouble  

[bull]

Looks pretty nice, actually. Which leads me to believe they had nothing to do with the restoration (except the radiator hose ). They probably bought it as-is for $30k.

wrong color per the fender tag, pistol grip in a 69, auto zone steering wheel etc.

Fender tag not on the car???, pistol grip? Smells fishy....what a surprise.

Heres what that car looked like back on 4/18/07 on ebay.....looked the same way on 2/23/10 when it was relisted again & probably sold to "True Muscle Cars" to work their magic...

so what makes it a mr norms the stickers   i hope mr norm sues him for copyright infringement  or fraud  or does mr norm sell the stickers and signature or what ever is on the dash  for bucks  maybe this could finally get him

No Surprise! its a Halpag Car! that explains everything including the missing Fender Tag

[tpetty]

Yeah,
I didn't get the Mr Norms association either, and there aren't many details listed.

Rebody.  


The car Chris lists is correct.

The black one has A/C interior & A/C firewall.

[472 R/T SE]

The 4 speed bracket on the firewall looks to have been added on as well.

Chris' original shots show what it should look like from the factory.  The black car has what looks like fresh bolts.

Wow, looks like someone may end up with a real shiny bag of trouble

Looks like the guy taking the pictures was either going to do that or burn it (reflection in the rear glass)

[G-man]

that radiator hose looks funny

Also, power brakes versus manual brakes.

good spot  


hlpag handy work !!   looks like they have destroyed that XS charger &  what ever that A/C body is from     wonder how many more  

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Dash VIN

[troutstreamnm]

Incorrect radiator?  Shouldn't the upper inlet be on the other side of the radiator?

[bordin34]

So if its a rebody then they broke some federal law right?

[ChargerSG]

Funny to see if they gets way with it, sadley i think so since its to many with allot of money who just buy it and then discover what

[fc7_plumcrazy]

seems to be a rebody.
radiator is from a c-body. Probably just quickly rushed together from the parts they had easily access to. Mastercylinder etc is also a cheap autozone part.

It is a shame, the original RT doesn't look to bad

How is it the fenders are so much rustier than the rest of the car in the before pics? It's almost as if someone stripped them and then gave up on it.

Slight accident or such so they were replaced/fixed and were still in Primer?

Just FYI - I see Patrick is placing ads referencing www.daves-classic-cars.com now.

Also, some ads reference "Steve's Customs" for paint and body work.

Did you see the pos cars this guy is trying to sell and how much $$ he's asking?  I feel sorry for the ones who buy them.
