It has a lot going for it, from the modern goodies to the craftsmanship...but damn this thing is fugly!   :eek2:   :lol:

Someone seems to like it though, that's on pricey Charger!

Build nice drivers, not stupid show(off) cars.

It looks like it is sitting on four flat tires.

Am I missing something here...it don't look "Chopped" to me.  If it is, its very mild almost to the point of "why even make the effort".   And, I don't care for the "in the weeds" look on a Charger...leave the low riders to the Chevy crowd.....But then I'm not bidding on it so it doesn't matter one way or another....

To me it is a lot of wasted work that could have been put to better results.

303 Mopar

 :iagree:  I like most Charger restorations (stock, old school muscle, lowered resto-mod) but it seems most SEMA builds are over the top.  I doubt the builders break even on the build, but try to promote their name with the build used as a marketing tool.  :Twocents:

Very hard to improve on one of the most beautiful shapes in automotive history.   

As I don't own one, these cars stop me in my tracks when I see them from, especially from a distance.  Last Saturday, I saw a '68 Charger from pulling in across the street to get gas.    I thought, "what a perfect car".

That is pretty much how I've always felt about it too Doug.  To me, some things are perfect the first time and these Charger customs are new Coke at best and mustaches on the Mona Lisa in most cases.  At worst they are the hottest girl you ever saw transformed into some sort of Rebel Wilson Roseanne Barr bastard.

They forgot to put leaf springs and t bars in that one..... :D

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

What a waste.  If they were to give that car to me, I'd fix it for free though...

six-tee-nine

I can apreciate these clean engine bays though. However I guess this engine doesnt run since its lacking radiator hoses and prolly alot of other stuff to make it run.
I gained wisdom enough over the years that if you build a car like that you regret every mile you put on it because it will never shine as it did when the odo said 0000000.

 lot of time , work , fabrication ,  money   gone into that  ,   :yesnod:  the guys who built that , have skills & imagination , that for  sure !  :2thumbs:


but imo they have completely destroyed , the most beautiful shaped car ever made  :yesnod:

 cant figure out  , why they still keep using rubber bands  for tires !!  :lol:  wondering have they  actually driven these cars ,  in real life situations on the street  :scratchchin:

was about to post all the pictures , here  , but it says all pictures are copy righted , & can not be reproduced  :-\    :shruggy:

  makes sense , really when you look at what they have done to a second generation , I would not want pictures of it posted everywhere  :lol:  ;)

 its at $146.100.00  now  ,  IMO   i think its insane ! :image_294343:   still ,  each to their own , if the buyer & seller are happy , who am i to argue  ,  :shruggy:

no offence meant  to anyone   :cheers: :cheers:    :leaving:

Well its airbag suspension.. it can be raised, then some different wheels and it'll be a pretty neat car.. but for 150k+ you could build one  :shruggy:

Description say's it cost $375,000 to build. LEON.

1965gp

Looks like solid and extensive craftsmanship but the interior really dates it. Wheels can be changed, air bags will adjust the ride height- but that interior screams 2008. Remember the mini trucks in the 80's with gray tweed interior? This is going to look like that in ten years. All of the technology will be outdated as well as the style and materials.

My dad has a saying "Stick never goes out of style" and I am really starting to buy in.

I'm sure it cost at least that much.  Too bad they'll only see a fraction of that cost, if it ever sells...

Is there ANY way to dump $200,000+ into a (non-stock) muscle car that WON'T look utterly dated in 15 years?

It doesn't say chopped but rather cropped. Not sure what cropping is. I know dropped, tubbed, and shaved. Never heard of cropped.

That's where they make the picture smaller.   :icon_smile_big:
