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



71 Valiant VH Hardtop 265 Hemi 4-speed, 71 VH Valiant Charger R/T Replica 360 4-speed, 68 Dodge Charger 440/727.

Geez, for a minute there I thought I was looking at a 71 Cuda ha ha!!
People sure do have some crazy ideas!  :eek2:
I do love that billboard on the Cuda though.


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

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.
WTB- 68 or 69 project

Past- '73 Rallye U code, '69 Coronet 500 vert, '68 Roadrunner clone, XP29H8, XP29G8, XH29G0

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

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...  :smilielol:

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!!

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.

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
Gotta love a '69

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...

Coulda, woulda, shoulda bought a Cuda.
My 1969 Charger. RIP......Rest in pieces.

Ghoste

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

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!!!! :Twocents:

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 :lol: :lol:

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.

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... :flush:
