Epic Charger Fail

[Laxy]

Maybe he should've just bought a '71 Cuda:

[Fred]

Geez, for a minute there I thought I was looking at a 71 Cuda ha ha!!
People sure do have some crazy ideas!  
I do love that billboard on the Cuda though.

[73rallye440magnum]

I just can't warm up to a tail panel that isn't black.

For me, the billboard is tolerable, but not the tail panel. Everyone has their own idea of what looks best! Looks like a very nice paint job, and a Hemi.

I'm with you on the tail panel, definitely needs to be black for me.

[Laxy]

Yeah from the back it looks disastrous. From the side not so bad, even though it destroys the trademark 2nd gen hipline.... and it's lifted from a Plymouth... 

It's a Hemi with a 4-speed too. I didn't think it was humanly possible to make a black Hemi/4-speed 68 Charger look bad until now!!

hahahhaa......

Agreed

[Kern Dog]

Only a foreigner would do that!
Okay, I cheated. The license plate on the rear looks European.....

[Laxy]

Haha yep a foreigner, but Australian! This car was photographed at a show on the weekend in Adelaide, South Australia (not by me).

It is a 'trade plate' which is why it looks weird. Trade plates here are used by businesses to temporarily drive unlicensed cars.

[doctor4766]

Had to be a South Australian lol.


Might have looked better in a dark red that stripe if he REALLY had to do it.

But the tail panel sucks.
Nearly as much as a single wheeled burnout hey

[Laxy]

That thing would need a twin spin burnout in the hope that smoke would cover up the abortions on the quarters and across the back...

[tan top]

nice looking 68      shame about the billboards   not for me , but each to their own  

love the look  of centrelines on a charger 

[404NOTFOUND]

Coulda, woulda, shoulda bought a Cuda.

[Ghoste]

There are reasons some things are not done by the factory.

[41husk]

I don't care for it and would change it if I owned it, but it does not ruin the car.   If the owner likes it no harm done enjoy!!!!

I consider this to be the all time benchmark of how to mess up a '68 Charger.

[Ghoste]

Great, I was just beginning to regain eyesight afte the last time I clicked on a post with that thing in it and now I have to scrub them with sandpaper again.


(I guess that means I agree with you huh?)

ditto, I recall that one on ebay for some crazy money & no sale, not sure how to fix that one besides as parts car for ... not sure actually for what

[Ghoste]

Yes, that one was in many ways a deliberate effort to "unCharger" a Charger while maintaining just enough visual clues to give away what kind of car it used to be.

Agreed, that 68 is awful! Did it sell?

Did a 'foreigner' do that?

[Aero426]

Did a 'foreigner' do that?

Nope.  Done right here in the good old US of A.

I know what you mean.   Kind of like how I feel seeing the Barracuda Bird popping up all over. 

[Ghoste]

Yes I know what you mean.   Some cars just need a good...

[73rallye440magnum]

It got better

I agree too. Even if the tail panel is a different color, like blue on a blue car, it still doesnt look right to me   Gotta be black for me personally.

[Darkman]

When I saw pics of that Charger, I instantly thought I'd better hurry up and get mine done. Even thought it is a hemi and a 4 speed, the paint job would almost turn me away from really looking at it.

I am not proud that this Charger is in Adelaide

[Kern Dog]

That gold and black car is an example of a guys vision......
"Hey, these cars are great, but I have a vision of a BETTER design! Lets shorten the car and put some tall wheels on it. "
Not good. The long flowing lines are a styling detail that adds to the appeal. I wonder if he forced his wife to get a breast reduction  and ass liposuction?

[elacruze]

Personally I like the tail panel. The billboard is a bit too much, though.
