vintage pics of first '68 Charger in '82

[hemi68charger]

Wow, can't believe I found these pictures.... This is me, with ALOT more hair back in '82, my senior year in High School....... This was the first Charger I restored on my own, except for the actual painting....... Man, I loved that car and those slots...... 

Does 20+ year old pics constitute "vintage"

I sold it to my best friend around '85 or '86... It's floating around Palm Beach County, Florida from what I hear...........

Looks like you did a good job on it, what kind of drivetrain did it have?

[PocketThunder]

The car original came with a 318. But, the motor when I got it was locked up, so I bought a 360 HP and shoved it in along with a 727A....

Paul,
Yeap, that was once of those portacaches... The high-pitched roof line was the "in" thing back then in the fairly-new-at-the-time subdivision....

Cool pics Troy! Thanks for sharing.

[hemi68charger]

Think My Dad didn't appreciate the greasy driveway.....      Wish he was still alive so I could say I was sorry....   

I for one have developed a "neat" streak about myself and couldn't stand seeing a driveway that way..... Hence my nice big garage..............

THANKS DAD FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME !!!!!!

[terrible one]

Ah that's too cool man! I'm digging the slots!

I may have posted this one of my first charger here before, im not sure. this is about 10 years after troy's , im 17 in this pic..and no its not a mullet either, its way too long in the front! a mullet is" buisness in the front party in the back" right joe dirt?  I would gladly be 10 years older to have had a 68 like that back then
