I thought you guys might like to see this car... It's awesome in person.... It was put in a garage decades ago.. Up on blocks.. Covered...  UNTIL NOW!!

Some history... Blair painted this car 33 years ago... Right out of school, sub-par equipment and a great imagination he turned this car into a car that screams 70's..  Velour interior and all!! Well, now it's being worked on and will be street-worthy once again!!!

This is an original 440 Six Pack 4-speed car...

While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it's definitely a blast from the past!!

The mural on the trunk took him 40 hours, and he did it all with a single action air brush gun.

Stick your head inside the car and you get knocked over with the vintage OLD CAR smell.. This thing is awesome...

GOD yes! Lol! That's awesome! Don't dig the flames toomuch but other than that it's just my style. Even the interior is cool. I'd love to paint the Charger like that. :coolgleamA:

Very Cool! I like seeing the old school stuff.  :2thumbs:
I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

This car WILL NOT BE RESTORED.

Blair is 100% capable of doing a full chalk mark resto on it.. But this WILL NOT be touched. New door panels, misc items, yes, but the paint is staying as is..

You might be seeing this in print some day soon, too  :2thumbs:

The paint seems to have survived quite well, and that Boston mural looks amazing. :2thumbs: I'd get it running good, put disc brakes on the front and drive it.

That is more or less what they are doing... Brakes.. Door panels, interior work.. But the paint/body work stays... They are fairly certain (with some freshening up) the motor will fire right over.

Wow, beautiful.  :2thumbs:

So they said Barracuda on the dash but Cuda on the door panels?
I guess Charger on the side and R/T on the back is the same?
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

This is why I am not against building your car the way you want, because 40 years from now everyone will think it mirrors the times, and not worry about how correct it is. I love it! Now if Farra Faucett would climb out of it.......it would be perfect.

I can def respect the talent and work put into it,don't like or care for it,buts thats just me.Understand why back in the day they would do something like that,because the cars had no significant value,the in thing,dime a dozen then,etc.If it were a 318 car so be it,but call me a resto weenie,that is a real v code,it's 41 years later,I'd restore back to orig.
