What's more useless than a spoiler that's barely 1 inch high? A notched spoiler that's barely 1 inch high.

I also went with Hagerty when my mainstream TD Bank insurance would refuse to insure my Charger for its proper value. I was surprised to learn Hagerty has a "project" status where if the car isn't driving, you pay a much lower premium.

I thought the 944 design was cool, but the 928 was an acquired taste...I never acquired it. :)

This, especially to contrast with the dudes who tow their trailer queens to the shows. The actual drives TO the show were more fun than the actual show. People gawking as they drove by, people giving thumbs-ups and honking horns as they passed the convoy of Mopars, other Mopar enthusiasts...

I'm not a hoarder, but I have a hard time selling off anything that I've invested a lot of time and effort into. This doesn't just apply to my '86 GN or '70 Charger, but all the vintage RC cars I resto-modded, and even all the dozens of HO-scale AFX Magna-Traction slot cars I collected and...

For me, it's the same for movies and my wife/daughter just won't clam up.

If you want a mild-mannered Charger that'll get compliments, build it around a 318. But if you want a Charger that'll perform, I agree that you're aiming your dollars in the wrong direction if your platform is a 318.

I think the cost of even a ratty, rusty, clapped-out '69 Charger might be too rich for someone to beat on it on the daily. But by all means, you can drive it however you like when you find one. :) Chris Birdsong does that very thing, but where he lives, I don't think snow, ice & salt are much...

That might not fit a '69 Charger...from a 3-year-old post. :)

I can think of something just as frustrating. Back in the late 80's after I had the 383 Magnum engine freshly rebuilt in Grendel, and driving around while still in the engine break-in period, it seemed like every single IROC, Firechicken and ricer in the city crawled out of the woodwork wanting...

I bought that same coil individually from Amazon and it came packaged in it's own proper box. For FBO to ship it without even including the original Pertronix box--which isn't great protection but better than a bag--is ridiculously stupid.

Nice clean bird. Welcome from Alberta, Canada!

:lol:

If this is the default reply, then what's a forum like this for? ;) I would trust some of the guys on here long before I'd take my car to some random guy or shop. The members here who've owned and worked on these cars for decades have the best knowledge to share.

I can add some input to this as I also installed LEDs in my hood indicators. The first LEDs that were installed were white and both the light color and dispersion were not ideal. You could clearly see straight-on white circles shining through the lenses and the whole lenses didn't illuminate. I...
