CHARGER III Concept car

[nascarxx29]

Found this interesting picture .Of a charger which no longer exists

[G-Series]

Are you absolutely sure it doesn't exist Dave?

[nascarxx29]

Lets say the 1 the factory made one pictured is no longer with us.Perhaps a replica will surface someday

[TheGhost]

Kinda looks like the kid of an 80s Vette and the 99 Charger concept.....

[chargervert]

That car was just a mock up no real functional versions were ever built.I heard the mock up was destroyed,after years of being stored in a warehouse. It was held together with wood,and screws! I built a model of that car when I was a kid!

[Steve P.]

GM built a model of it too. They call it a Corvette........

[nascarxx29]

There was even a back in charger toy that was exact as this charger III car .It was called the amazeomatic by hasbo .And there was a kenner lightbeam 69 charger that moved when you shined a flashlight on it

[Highbanked Hauler]

I thought that car had ended up in somebodys collection

[Ghoste]

I heard something about it falling apart too.  There were fiberglass bodies of it for kit car use.  I have a pic somewhere of Mr. Norms shop with one of the bodies swinging from the rafters.  He was asked about it once and he didn't know what had happened to it.  He did say he had more than one though and likely sold one to somebody who mounted it on a vehicle.
I have a Hot Wheels of it that a guy gave me for my 6th birthday.

Ok I'll bite, that one you posted is not a vintage photo. As I actually know the car and why would a Chrysler press photo car have dutch plates and a wrong stripe on it?

You got me its dated 69 press release photo of a 70 charger

[Ghoste]

Press photos were frequently wrong.  Think of the 69 Charger non RT with Hemi badges, the 70 Barracuda with Hemi and shaker and so forth.
Also, I remembered where the picture of Mr. Norm's shop was, it's in an issue of MCG from the past year.  Now if I can just recall which issue.
