yikes he has my car!
Thanks to all you guys with all the enthusiasm, it has convinced me that the beast will be rebuilt!
I had promised my wife that my 69 Cuda would be the last one to do. Now I have to bow on one knee to clarify my promise, and The Charger will be the last one. Promise!!!
I have been searching for a second one for years, as I sold my pristine Yellow/ Black top 68 back in 2002. We bought it in 1984, raised four kids with it, and travelled many states with it. The car was a 318 column shift A/C car, and I put well over 120k on it through those years. It was just as nice when I sold it. I was dumb! I thought I still had one, that it would be ok. it isn't,, we were building a new house, so that should explain it.
I was never really Interested in going fast, although the numerous chargers and Bees certainly could. But in 1968 My neighbor had a brand new 68 Green charger, and was one year older than me. He would give me a ride to school, but I had to pay a dollar a week for gas!
So I like the old Mopars for nostalgic reasons mainly, not that there aren't muscle cars here.
You always remember the car your Kids grew up in.Plus my wife and I got engaged in October 1974 when I had a 68 Green charger, 318 with the three on the tree. Like an Idiot I sold that to my brother, who promptly wrecked it. (1975)
Isn't it funny that we all look older every day, but the cars don't?
The first step with this one is to figure out how to hold up the rear of the car when there isn't a rear? The rear end is under neath the car, but it is an 8 1/4, so to the scrap heap it will go.
