My recent history
Hi. I'm from a small town in Venezuela called Valle de la Pascua, This is my car. It was bought in 1999 in Tinaquillo, another small town. It was stored in a chicken farm for many years. But since, I have used it on a daily basis in open roads and highways. I travel a lot.
When I bought it, it was all original, but given that my goal is to use it on the road, I've change some things to increase the performance and the reliability. You'll see the pics.
I have so many stories to tell about my car, but for now I only will say that here in my country the roads are the worst in the world, there's never a smooth piece of asphalt, not even an inch, and my car is at first the most reliable I have ever seen, and also the most powerful, fearless, intimidating, bad a.., comfortable, and beautiful.
Here it is

Looks like a solid car! Nice find! Can we see some more pictures?

Here is the first rebuild of the engine. It was done in my farm, between dirt and sun, with our own hands.  Pure fun

Welcome! Great car. Great story.

Thos e first two pictures of the engine rebuild are very cool. With everything in the background out of focus, the engine really stands out. Very "artsy."  :2thumbs:

wow, two Venezuelan Chargers!!! and 3rd Gens.

I was born in Caracas and lived in Maracaibo until family moved to the US and I also had a 3rd gen Charger up until recently, sold it for a 69. Wish I could have both though.

Cool pics!!
