Vote for a classic Charger for a Detroit radio station charity car.

[XP29F61]

Thanks for helping out. I am working 12 hour shifts & did not get time to keeps the guys informed on how it was going. Thing is I was told that the other vote was the finial vote oh well.

Problem was, they had over 20 cars offered. So they decided to take an email vote for the top 5. My 66 took 1st place in the top 5. Now we're into the "finals" I guess.

The good news is, if you wait a few hours, it will let you vote again!! I usually have to wait 3 or 4 hours before it will work. But I think I've voted over 20 times already.

everybody better start voting for the charger.  As of this morning it is in a tie for first place.

I voted for each of my family members, including my pets........hey! they are part of the family.   

[69Charger500]

Voted, and sent the link to my senior management at DCX requesting they open up the firewall to let all our employees vote from work...

There are 15,000 people at the DCX headquarters in Auburn Hills alone!  And another 125,000 throughout the US...

[Ghoste]

Man, you're the king!  You just know at DCX headquarters they don't want to see that Dodge truck get boogered up with parts from the X brands!

[69Charger500]

Yeah,

Even though it's a Dodge (the truck), I just can't picture it generating anywhere near the attention (and charity dollars) of the '66 Charger.  Those 1st gens are some awesome looking cars, especially when given the proper "treatment," like a 528 Crate Hemi and a bunch of other "go-fast" goodies.  I'd pick black exterior paint, and maybe even flame it a little (subtle, though)!

I'd hate to pull a "me too" but it'd be neat to go the route the "Big Fish" 66 Charger is and put a new style Crate Hemi in there with efi and coil on plug and all that.

Any pics of his car?

[Ghoste]

The car up for donation or the Big Fish car?

Here are 2 galleries of Christine, if that's what you wanted to see.

This one is pics from when I first bought her and some fairly recent pics after body work and primer

This one is the most recent pics. She's a runner, just needs front brakes.

She's got the original 318 Poly, Small Block 727 auto, and the stock "741" small pinion 8 3/4 rear end with 2.94 open gears.
I just finnished rebuilding the entire electrical system, so everything but the gauge lighting works.

Big Fish...

But let's see the other one too, so we can start rooting around for parts for it to donate...

YOU ROCK!! If they can unblock WCSX.com, the Charger is a lock!

Christine, the car mentioned in the post above is the one that has been offered for donation.  Big Fish is the red 66 Charger (or rather one of the ones they used) that was used in the movie Big Fish.  It is currently in Detroit undergoing a resto-mod.
I think your own Greg Rose at the tech center has the inside skinny on the progress with the Big Fish Charger.

[XP29F61]

Big Fish...

But let's see the other one too, so we can start rooting around for parts for it to donate...

Body wise, she needs rear quarters, both full length floor pans, and frame caps where the torsion bar cross member meets the rocker and front frame rails. I'm donating a used rust free right front fender I got off ebay.

Interior needs the sail panels sanded and repainted, and seat foam for all the seats. I'm donating the set of 4 Perl white seat covers from legendary that I bought, and the new floor carpet I got. She could also use a new console top plate since the previous owner mounted 2 gauges in it.

All the chrome and trim is still with the car, just not installed. Same with the missing interior panels. OH, and she needs the spare tire board and trunk carpet.

I think that's about it.

You're right there is something funny going on there.  With all the people plugging for this car it seems to go up ever so slightly in percentage and the truck they want to booger up can rise 6 points in an hour???

[DC_1]

I voted again.......be nice if they showed the total number of votes.......

[jaak]

I voted 

[XP29F61]

The voting is still running!

When DCX opened the firewall for employees to vote, the Plymouth Truck plant exploded the votes for the Dodge Truck, so we need to really kick it in for the Charger!!
