I would have gotten a real one back when they were affordable, but back then they still were out of reach financially

Real, very original, V-code, 38,000 mile bird...

White is my preference when it comes to Birds.

sooooo, technically they STILL weren't affordable then........................

[41husk]

They were affordable, infact during the gas crisis people couldn't sell them.  I was just very poor.  I bought my Challenger convertible back in 82 for $2,000 and could not get my bank to loan me $1500 on it.  If it had not been for my father in law I would not have that car.

[mauve66]

i know about the gas crisis, but you said ................. never mind, i was just playing with your words

when i was looking at them, they were 20-30K and they were affordable to SOME people but were out of my reach financially therefore they were still UN-AFFORDABLE to me

wish i would of bought that 500 back in 85 for less than 10K

FJ5wing, more pics for you and thanks for the kind comments.
If you are in southern Michigan July 24th stop at Mopars at the Red Barns at the Gilmore Car Museum. I'll be there you can see the car in person.

Hi again.  Got my car in 1982, paid as much when it was 12 years old as when it was new.  I loved these cars from day one and I had to beg, barrow and call in all my markers and was still $1,700.00 short of what the owner was asking.  I laid out the bucks I had on the table and he said YES.  The were never cheep as I looked at over a dozen and they were even more $ or need way to much work.  I got mine with 92,000 mile on the clock and we are about to go around the 2nd time with 188,000 right now.  Yo, SBBob

well worth it for a HEMI car

It isn't assembled yet, but since I have most of the Daytona parts I guess I'll call mine a "Reproduction Daytona" for the poll. It's a '68 Charger, not an R/T, a 383-2V car. Been planning to convert it but don't know how far I will go with it. Most of my parts are Janak's, including the nose with the parts in it, the wing, the plug, & the lower front valance. I also have one of Dane's solid wings, Larry's steel bracing for the front & back, a Vega hatch, & the '70 hood & modified fenders. One thing I am still unsure of is whether to leave the mint tail panel alone or swap it to the '69 style. The '68 lights were never my favorite, but I have since seen them on a few wing cars & they actually look pretty good on them & starting to grow on me.

One car that looks great to me is one I discovered on the Winged Warrior's site.

The round lights look a lot better matched with the wing than without.
