I always wondered about this and now that I have a Charger once more I can bragg about it.   :icon_smile_big:

But seriously,  how many members here have a Charger, what year and what overal condition is it in?

For those who found and bought their dream ride, was it all you expected?  More?  Less?  Any surprises you did not anticipate?

For those who want to get one in the future, what makes the Charger the car for you?  What are your intentions with it?



This is my thrid Charger, first was a 68 driver, then a 69 basket case, which I actually never ever saw in person, and now another 69 in good daily driver shape.  I expected a car with issues I could work on while driving it, I'm happy to say it doesn't have nearly the issues I anticipated but it's early yet.   :D    Actually the only real problem it has is the rear axle and that's my own fault!

Is that the dark blue Charger on steroids?  That's one mean looking ride!

69 Charger Daytona clone, 440/727 built from a triple black RT/SE, by Larry Roper.  I think the real question should be how many here own just one.  They are kinda like Lays potato chips :smilielol:  I am down to one charger for the first time in a long time.

I have several; in various states of roadworthiness but everything that isn't a parts car is driveable, oh yeah, except the one future restoration project.  That one is in the "rounding up parts to restore" stage before anything happens to it.

Recently picked up a 69 RT, Q5, black interior/top, console 727, AC.... It is my first and currently 3x9. It's not perfect but it seems to be a reliable driver and looks good. I drive it when ever I get the chance and it always makes my day! I am super happy to own such a car and am already talking about getting my next Mopar! (4spd, 70 Cuda/68 Charger) Wife likes the one I have but gives me the hairy eyeball when I start talking about #2.  :lol:  I seriously wish I could retire now and spend lots of time tinkering.  :icon_smile_wink:

Mine is a 69 R/T that is an older resto. I ended up taking some of it apart to do a mini resto in order to clean it up a bit. Looking forward to finishing it and being able to enjoy it.

Mine would be between driver and mint...

Mine is a unrestored, stone reliable driver! I consider it a survivor. You can give your opinion on that. (perhaps I'll start a thread).

It's a '73 F1 pale green charger rallye. 340/727/8 3/4 3.55's Original paint, decals, halo top, interior right down to the A.M. radio. It's a magnum 500 wheel car. The original raised white letter pollyglass spair is in the trunk.

Hey, fuel line is no biggy. Let me know if you have any questions.

solids0be

Dents dotted along the entire drivers side..cracked side markers.. and a crappy Accel dizzy thats always causing issues. My last drive she was running great zipping down the highway and side streets. I got home and turned into my driveway...Stalled... started back up put in gear...stalled...I know its that damn Ignition module again. Im gonna change the plugs again this weekend because they were looking rough after my last starting issue hopefully thats all it is, if not im buying a MSD 6Al as a early Bday gift to myself...yay more re-wiring! ::)

FC7 V code

70 RT/SE V code, Looks real good, it was rebuilt/restored back in the mid 80's. I got busy with other things and it sat in the garage for the last 10 years  :'( Dug it out last fall, started it up and guess what? no oil pressure. Pulled the pan and changed the oil pump last fall...still 0 oil pressure :brickwall: pulled the motor this summer and now its off to the shop...trying to figure out just what is going on. So I voted not going anywhere soon. Hopefully by next summer it will be back on the road.

Poor. I have 4, none are drivable right now. 1971 Charger 500 383 auto will be next one my fix up list. (2) 1972 Charger SEs, one is a 4 speed, the other parts car. 1973 Charger Rallye 340 4 speed, be awhile before I get to that one. And yes I would sell any of them to help fund the other ones rebuild. My 1973 Road Runner is in the beginning phase of coming back to life. Also, I have a good lead on a 1972 Charger Rallye 340 4 speed car that has been sitting atleast 10 years now, just have talk the owner into selling.

My current Charger is a 72. The hide-away head lights are what sealed the deal with this one. It is a small block tire fryer. Very, very nice shape, but not mint. It's modified, a "day 2" car as put by the Moparty At The Strip show. I just swapped in an A518 OD trans. One of the best mods I have done to the car.

Previous to this one I had a matching # 440, 727, A/C, 73 Rally. It was Sweet! But it's gone. Last I heard it went to live in Central America some where.

1972 Charger Topper Special, 360ci, 46RH OD trans, 8 3/4 sure grip with 3.91 gear, 14.93@92 mph.
1973 Charger Rallye, 4 speed, muscle rat. Whatever engine right now?

Our first and only one is a white '67, 383 auto trans.  We bought it with the bodywork and paint done, plus engine rebuilt by an area engine shop.  The guy was having a hassle with '66 vs '67 parts among other things so we got it with the black interior kinda thrown in, non drive-able, old tires, and no exhaust.  It was a column shift 318 car originally so it's definitely going to be a "driver" category.  Have been accumulating parts ever since and moved it here during retirement a couple years back.

Always had been mostly GM A body previously but got this "for the wife" in honor of her family's Mopar heritage.  Her dad was in mgt at Chrysler and the kids always had a new muscle car to use when a senior in high school.  They had RR's, Bees, hemis, etc.  He even brought a turbine car home for one night when the samples were out among the populace.

Currently I'm reclaiming the garage from all the retirement move "dumping" and selling off the many extra '66 & '67 parts that came with the car.  Then we can finally begin reassembly of the interior, etc.  "One of these days!"

I have 2, a 74 that was a 318 car and is now a fairly customized car with a 440 auto. That car is my driver. My other Charger is a 68 that I have been slowly restoring as time and money allows. Rear frame and trunk are now in, and also installed new floors and inner outer rocker panels. Been working on it for 8 years now, with no end in site, but thats ok, no hurry
