70 door scoops on a 68

[deanj309]

Just a thought but I was thinking of putting some one my 68.idont want a rt clone so I was thinking of filling the rt with filler.I kinda like the look of the scoop, has any one done it.anyone have a pic of it filled in onthere car.opinion please

[Ghoste]

I have seen it on other years besides the 70 models but never with the RT filled.  I've seen them without the RT badging added to it but the indentation was of course still there.  No pics of any of them though.

IMO, the door "Indentions" on a 1968-69 Are best served uncovered. It's the "Charger" trademark. Why cover them up?....

[Ghoste]

Yeah, I was always of the same opinion but whatever floats someone else's boat I guess?

[AKcharger]

true but I love the Longitudianl Stripes!

[Ghoste]

I do too but I think I prefer the bumblebee ones.  Just my opinion though.

Here are a couple of pics with out the lettering. This car is for sale on autotrader.
I wonder what year this car is . It has 68 tail lights, 69 side marker lights ?

[Ghoste]

I believe that car belongs to a member here so there should be even more pics of it somewhere on the site.

[Dino]

I haven't seen that car in ages.  Always liked the level of quality but it sure looks weird.

[Ghoste]

Agreed and it sure makes for a hard sell I would think even with the work that went into it.  Like any custom really.

[charger_fan_4ever]

68-9 no scoops please

I do agree.

[BigBlackDodge]

The '70 scoops don't even look right on a '70!


No offense to you '70 R/T owners!

I've grown to accept them as change for the sake of change in 1970 but I tend to agree with you.

[Cooter]

IMO, if they hadn't come factory on a 1970, then then "Offered" as aftermarket sellers, these would have a whole different meaning. Just goes to show you how many will "Accept" a Stupid(IMO) move as long as it's deemed "Factory", even if it's tarded looking.

[Ghoste]

Or their opinions become less written in stone over time??

Nope, stupid looking, is stupid looking even if it came from the factory that way. I mean, look at the Newer cars being offered today like a Pontiac Aztek. Some will defend it as hard as the day is long becasue Chrysler deemed it that way. Secretly, they prolly can't stand it.

[Ghoste]

Well whether you choose to believe it or not, in my own case I just became much less rigid about things like door scoops on 70's.  I hated them once, now I accept it even if it isn't something I would want on my own car.  I guess I just decided over time that life was too short to hang on to a bunch of  hate.

.
Believe it or not, that is actually a 70.  It was built by Scott Leah.  He put 69 fenders on it and a 68 tail.  A tree fell on the roof, that's why he cut the top off.

[Fred]

Wow! that looks kind of weird to me. Don't like it. (don't hate me for it)

[Bob T]

I uh, like the wheels on it

Something funky going on with the front bumper too as well as the r/t covers and no door hardware which just bland it out, Im just not sold on the batmobile look 

I feel the flames coming 

[Ghoste]

I don't think you'll get flamed too badly for not liking that one.

[Cooter]

Love the wheels.

[charger_fan_4ever]

IMO those rims scream RICE.

[Fred]

I only like rice with curry.   

[chargermike]

put them on. i put them on my 70 500 and filled in the rt. with filler. they look great and better with out the rt. there cars and its yours. make it yours. who cares what the snob pure mopar idiots think. but then again i hate stock looking cars....make them have your own style. stock looking cars are boring. 

[Ghoste]

Well obviously he must care what the snob Mopar purist idiots think because that was the very question he asked us.  By all means do as you wish but if you ask a question you should be hoping for honest answers.  I don't apologize if my honesty on this topic makes me a snob purist idiot.

[JB400]

I think we all are snob purist idiots one way or another.  I think there will always be those that don't believe in change. And then there's Change You Can Believe In

I understand your need to express your opinion...However, You claim "Stock looking" cars are "Boring"?

It seems to me that the more "Boring" trend (As with the "Easter egg" paint jobs in the late 80's), is the tendancy to install huge wheels/brakes/front spoilers/shaved door handles/etc...And I'm bout as far away from "Stock Looking" as one can get with the General Lee. I even have a Push Bar...Oh, the horror.

BTW: I cannot believe Ghoste didn't hit you as well with the "Why is it that everybody who likes "Stock Looking" Chargers, is a "Mopar Idiot Purist"?  Your lucky like that.

No more "Hope and Change"...

[Ghoste]

I sort of did.
