Motor Trend 68 Hemi Charger article

[WHITE AND RED 69]

I got this in an email today and thought you guys might like it. It's a year old but there are some cool pics. It's a sweet car but the wheels need to be swapped for a set with some meat on em.

Looks like the bridge over the Long Beach harbor. When I needed to clear my mind, I'd take a trip down there. Crossing it on a motorcycle is an interesting experience.

Yep - Vincent Thomas bridge between Terminal Island and San Pedro CA - drive over that thing all the time...      also been over it at 100+mph during a poker run.

Yep, Vincent Thomas. I didn't remember the name. It has been some 6 or 7 years, after all.

just means you gotta come back and visit -  just under the bridge we have the USS Iowa docked now....    pretty impressive to see in life.

Great pics of a beautiful Charger. Those wheels, wheel Covers, and tires (F70-15 Firestone Wide Ovals) are the same combo my Charger was delivered with. They really don't look too bad in person but, Cragar wheel, and big meats definitely look great.

I have all 5 original wheels, all new Coker brand Firestone F70-15 red stripe tires and original NOS Wheel Covers for mine but it probably will ride most of the time on Cragars and big meats for the tougher look. The original factory look is nice but those little tires out back will be overwhelmed quickly by my rebuilt HEMI. The big meat tires (275-60-15 or 295-50-15) will probably be overwhelmed also !!
