Convertible 68 Charger on Ebay

[tan top]

Lenco? That is some cool vintage stuff!
I already said that I liked the car based on it's unique status. I prefer these cars as they are built but the custom jobs can be cool too.

Well if you don't like the wing,or the roof, you probably won't like my shifter either, oh well, not sorry!

That's why this is 'Merica,and my Charger can have what ever wing I choose to put on it,and it doesn't have to have a roof either!

Good thing, cause I can imagine that there are places where you get shot for ruining a great looking car.

Let me know when your car is the magazine centerfold!

Id never heard of them....so found this online. I can see why Ive never seen them before.....not exactly a roaring success according to this feature!

They work flawlessly,I guess you just have to know how to operate them! It's not that complex,Start up vehicle,and put your foot on the brake pedal,then pull the first lever all the way back,then pull the second lever back,then pull the third lever back,then you are in first gear. Remove foot from brake pedal,and mash the gas pedal,after reaching desired RPM range,slam third shift lever forward,and first to second shift will happen,wind up to desired RPM,and slam second lever forward,and the second to third gear shift will occur,the first lever works the park,reverse,neutral,and drive functions. It's not rocket science,but I guess the clueless magazine hacks didn't figure out how to operate them. It may be a good theft deturent,because those clowns probably still stuck in a parking lot trying to figure out how the shifter works so they can get home!

It does seem a unnecessarily complex way of controlling the tranny though.....what are the advantages over more conventional methods?..apart from looking cool/different with three levers of course..which I like! I assume there must be some or why bother.

Ha ha, actually it was. But it's a custom Corvette. My Chargers are still in the build phase.

I'm sure Chris will make it happen.

I wouldn't put a Go-Wing or Gull-Wing on any Mopar. I think that they are ugly.

Totally agree KD & Lennard  

Look at these hideous examples. Those poor Chargers and a 1970 Plymouth B Body.

[Kern Dog]

Those Chargers all would look 100% better without the spoiler. The gold one with the stripes....
I also have never liked the PLYMOUTH decals on anything other than the Superbirds.
People can do what they want with their cars. I have no right to tell them that they cannot build them their way. If I were judging their car at a show, they are more likely to get passed by for one that had no wing UNLESS it was originally fitted with one, then due to originality, I'd have to put my opinion aside. I don't like Sublime or FM3 pink but if the car looks correct, I have to overlook my own preferences.

    wings ,mags,custom paint,day 2 all looks great,stock is so boring...

I think it looks great. 

As for what is started as, I believe that it likely started out as a Coronet. The pot metal trim piece that ties the stainless mouldings together at the base of the top is different from Dodge to Plymouth, & this one looks to be Dodge. The work involved changing a Charger to a convertible would be insane & it's a lot easier to hang Charger sheet metal on the back of an existing convertible. The doors & the entire nose is pretty much a simple bolt on swap.

Hideous
Spoilers too
These cars were perfection from the factory
Leave them be.  (Within reason)
But holy f. That convertible is puke.. crush it

You don't have to like the way other people build their cars,we didn't build them for you! I couldn't give a shit what you think,when I am riding around with the top down!

I find it funny when people bitch & moan about what the Charger looks like with the top down. The whole purpose of a convertible it to put the top down & drive. Most ragtops are hideous with the tops up but who cares? What do they plan on doing with it, drive around with a big fucking mirror mounted next to them to look at themselves driving?....LOL

  I have had a couple of people tell me that the 500  grill and roof detracts  from the Charger style. My answer is maybe but it picked up 7 mph so who cares.
