Tastefully and WELL done, I didnt even walk that row and see this car this year either :( BUT I really like it!! Is the owner a member here or anyone here know him?

 
Few years ago, went to a car show in Greenville PA and was parked next to a similar color 426 66 Charger. Car was totally restored. A beautiful car.

I only saw a few things not quite right. Reflectors at the ends of the doors, zip tie (tye wrap) holding excessive wire at the horns, 1967 dual brake cylinder, vacuum advance not hooked up, the horn button from a 67, the battery cutoff switch, rubber plug on the firewall just below the hood release cable missing, plastic straps to secure wiring under windshield washer reservoir missing, and the drivers side remote mirror handle incorrect.

why is it that so many “Mopar guys” are factory OEM judges?
 
Not near as bad as the Corvette guys - trust me.

corvette guys I understand. Those cars weren’t raced and beat as much as muscle cars. Expensive... and a potato chip for a rear axle.

If the owner wanted to make it as near as original (especially for a Hemi car), they might want the advice. Some have a car restored by others and aren't aware of anomalies.

Or it’s actually driven more than just the fairgrounds. A battery cut off and tandem master are things I’d want on a driver. All my cars are 68-70. I lost a wheel cylinder twice, and would never drive a singe pot.
