I thought Steven Juliano got it?

Ghoste · September 10, 2009, 10:50:47 PM

I believe Juliano has sold it but I can't recall now where it went. Try a search here, there have been a number of threads about it in the past.

I'm. pretty sure juliano still has it

Ghoste · September 11, 2009, 09:36:36 AM

Yeah? That would be nice then if he still has it, somehow it just fits his overall collection properly.

Not sure if it was a fake or what... but follow link to my Nats pics.

Steve Juliano restored the car after buying it from Raffi Minasian, then sold it to a party on the east coast.
I believe he has stated his regrets in doing so, but the car was sold to free up funds for other aquisitions.

As a matter of trivia, I have been talking to Steve over the last few months with regards to some parts. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and has been undergoing treatment since then.
Survival rate for that form of cancer is very low, I've heard 5%.
However, as of late his prognosis and condition has improved considerably.

There is a replica Supercharger (in it's first incarnation as the "Topless Charger") being built by Jim Rodebaugh, which you might remember as being the dude that built the replica Charger I showcar, and the phantom 1966 convertible Hemi Charger.
There is a page about this newest replica in the latest Mopar Collector guide.

Oh yeah, welcome aboard xx29440charger!

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear Steven's condition is improving.

Mike DC · September 11, 2009, 02:20:38 PM

Wow, pancreatic cancer is a bad situation. I lost a relative over it.

The big problem is that they generally don't discover it until it's too late to stop it.

I agree....thanks

Steve sold the Supercharger (which started life as a '68 440 powered R/T, then "Engel's Charger", then "Topless Charger in '69, then Supercharger for the '70 show season) & Daroo I or II to the owner of the other Daroo (I or II). So those 3 Dodge showcars should still be in one collection on the east coast.

Ghoste · September 12, 2009, 01:17:46 AM

Oh, and Brian, that "Supercharger" that was at the Nats this year was definitely not the original one. It was so far from the original that it's difficult to even call it a fake IMO. To me it's a tip of the hat acknowledgment at best.

What incarnation was "Engel's Charger"?..

Ghoste · September 12, 2009, 08:13:15 PM

The Engel Charger was a nickname given to the topless Charger during it's 1968 incarnation. I'm pretty sure it is just based on the title of a magazine article about it.

Brock Samson · September 12, 2009, 08:31:10 PM

O.K. I was unsure what the three different names were Engle Topless and Super... I only seen the two,..

Thanks...

Magnumcharger · September 13, 2009, 06:14:52 PM

This is the original steering wheel in the "Topless Charger".
Check out the monogram in the center of the horn button, "EE" - Elwood Engle.
As well, notice that the wheel rim is actually hollow...it's made out of perforated stainless steel!
