So what are all of the famous (or infamous) custom Chargers?

There is that 66 that won the Ridler award, the 69 515 GTB that Strope did.  What else?  I'm talking about stuff that been featured in magazines not the backyard thing.

I know the owner of the 515 '69 Charger. Nice guy. He is/was a Sacramento distributor for AMD products.  THAT car must have cost over $100,000 to build. The car wasn't my style, but I respect the quality of the work.
Theres the SUPERcharger: it was a factory show car built as a roadster.
Someone built a gold and black "69 that was shortened. It was a full custom job, but looked odd.
Strope did another Charger, a '68 for George Poteet. It was white with red accents. It made the show circuit in 2006.
I'm not sure who built the "Petrol" Charger. It was a 70 with 68 taillights. It was black with an orange stripe over the center of the hood and deck.
Pictures anyone?

"Petrol" is also a Steve Strope - car.

a lot of custom chargers have been discussed on the site but they usuallt get a lot of hate :nana:

I wasn't thinking that one so much.  Wheels paint and a pushbar are too minor to be customizing unless you open the door to every single car that isn't exactly stock.  Yes, yes that fits the very definition of stock versus custom but I was thinking of things that were vastly different I guess.

I remember a '68 that had a 5.7 hemi called "Velocity".  I think it was built for the sema show . Not to wild as custom cars go but very sharp.
