I am in two minds helping a friend turn his standard Charger (second generation) into an R/T clone, I know each to their own but can it be done without looking mocked up?
Also just need to settle an argument, Did the bumblebee stripe only come with the R/T package? or could it be ordered for a normal charger?

My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............

On 68's you could have it on a regular charger as long as that regular charger is a bengal charger.(Orange cars as a promo for the Cincinnati bengals)
OK That's a stretch as there was something like a hundred ever put together.

The rear stripe was part of the RT package. But, on the flip side... you could also order it with a stripe delete.

The best example of this would be none other than the famous "Bullitt" Charger.

Call it what ever you want!  That is one of the most beautiful Chargers out there (even though it's not blue  :P ). And it's a 4spd too correct?
