I just purchased this thing today. However, it does need a little sorting out.

So what's the story? How did you find it? Where? Is it home? Who is putting it back together? Got all the parts? What other options it got?   :2thumbs:

Good looking project.

You're going to have to downsize the whole turbin thing though, if you intend to get in and drive it when it's done...

The sword should fit in the trunk nicely...

It came up on Moparts a week ago & it was only 15 miles from my house. I looked at this car nearly 20 years ago when I didn't have any money & I always wondered what happened to it. At the the price I just bought it for, it was such a deal that I just couldn't let it get away. 22,000 miles, last registered in 1969, m,atching numbers, PS, PDB, P windows, radio delete, console, rear shoulder belts, all original sheetmetal, etc.

I wouldn't throw the turbin out just yet.  Wear it while working under that thing..........it will cut back on the cuts and endless bumps to the head that you'll receive every other minute.
That way you can remain scabless.


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

Sure am. Looking at it now, doing over the Daytona last year was a just a practice run for this.

He bought it in 1983 from the original owner, took it apart 20 years ago & had the body done about 8 years ago. I got the impression that he couldn't wait to be rid of it.

I'm sure that you're not the only one who thinks of me as just another pretty face. I bought my first '68 Hemi Charger in 1978 & sold it in 1992.

Good for you..  :2thumbs:  Is that MM1 Bronze? It reminds me of the little funny-looking-motor '68 I was working on before I traded it for the Daytona.

Have fun finishing it up.
