converting 68 to 70

I find it interesting how there were more 68's made yet they are worth more

Simple, more were made because more people love the 68 style.  They are worth more because more people still love the 68 style.  That was easy.

Let me just say I like all 3 years, but I think the popularity/sales had more to do with it being the first year of the Charger and the new kick-butt style.  By 1970, it was no longer new, still a big tank and for some reason not everyone likes the front loop bumper as I do???.  The E body(smaller) came along and stole a lot of the thunder, production is cut back.

Also, I do like the round taillights, but I think the 69/70 rectangular lights fit the body better.

I was originally looking for a 69, and found a real nasty 69 SE that I passed on, but then found a great unmolested 68 R/T and bought it...still have to say that I prefer the look of both front & rear end on the 69 a little better, but the round taillights have definately grown on me over the years now and I'd never change the tail panel, would be like losing its personality.. When you think of the round lights as jet exhausts like the desingers intended, it kind of makes sense, the sixties were all about the space race etc..which makes me think of Co-Co Beach and Barbara Eden for some reason..so, 68 styling=beauiful...see my logic?

My  ...  If you want a '68, buy a '68.  If you want a '70, buy a '70.  If you can't decide, wait.  The 70's and 80's generated enough Frankenchargers and 'custom' jobs.  I don't personally think anymore are needed.

    Where's the video for that Cadillac song?


    I first wanted a 69. But, could only find 68's so that's what I purchased. And after owning one for a while I've decided I like the 68 best. I'd consider getting the 68 your looking at, it might grow on you just the way it is, you could always sell it later if things don't work out the way you want.

How about a pic of that Caddy?

I can understand wanting to work with what is close to you and hopefully it's a good deal.  I guess it depends on how rough it really is.  If the 68 needs a tail panel anyway and a ton just to be saved, then maybe.  Otherwise, if it is in decent shape and will bring some good money, sell it or part it.  Then, put the money towards a 70 in better shape, even if you have to travel some to get it.  Mine was 14hrs one way, but the price was right.
