  I love this thread.  Saw the fender tag posted here?  FF1 color is light green metallic. You did a great job cleaning up the original paint.
  My 68 Coronet is almost the same color as your Charger, but the darker TT-1; medium green metallic. Mine has the same green  vinyl top , interior, etc.

Man. What an absolute waste. Trailing the charger around instead of driving and enjoying it. Why even bother..

Had to be the one to say it.

After having it 2 years, you haven't done anything to make it roadworthy or anything? Really? Are you going to be another one of those guys that tells people..."I'm going to restore it someday" and that day never comes?   :slap:

Also, not to insult it but.... your title..."Perfect car" ? It sure is nice but I have never seen a perfect car.

     I thought this was a message board in which we support each other, not criticize.  It's his car and he can do what he wants with it. 
  Lets support the owner for his due diligence in saving the car. 
  For all we know , if the current buyer never bought the car , the owner would have sold it to someone who would turn around and flip it or worse part it out.
