Once again, 1970's pics of my dad's Charger

[Drache]

1970 Dodge Charger R/T
~ Originally Plum Crazy Purple (dad wanted it painted and almost painted it Canary Yellow but was talked into B5 Blue instead)
~4spd Pistol Grip
~440 Magnum 4bbl (Changed to 6-pack for a couple years)
~Black Vinyl Top
~Black Interior
~Towing package (which was later removed)
~Etc

Interesting Story:
My dad one day smashed up his grille so he ordered a brand new one. In the middle of the night the grille was stolen. Many many years later my mom ended up marrying the guy who stole the grille. His '70 Charger sat outside my bedroom window when I was about 7 years old. He eventually sold the running driving car about 10 years ago for about $1000. I had asked him to sell it to me but he despised me. 4 years ago I find out from my half brother that he still has my dad's grille hanging in his barn! I asked him about buying it but he said he wouldnt sell it to me for anything under $600.

Look at the last picture closely and tell me if you can see an "added option"  and its not the case of beer on the roof

The "added option"! A stolen sign from the door to a Men's washroom...

Thanks for posting the pics. I always love seeing old nostalgic pics of Chargers.

Doesn't sound like your Mom picks mates very well.

I'd just go steal it back! Wouldn't even hesitate. The way I look at it, it's more yours than it is his!
Is your Dad still around? Maybe he'd like to help steal it back.

Cody if you read the post about dirt track Chargers you can find out what happened to the car after my dad sold it for $1000....

Every year my dad and I debated on stealing it back or just paying my brother $100 to do it for us!
