68 Charger "Vert" - Some Think It's Crazy Others Think It's Visionary

[69ChargerVert]

I was 15 years old when dad called to let me know he had found a car for me. Imagine my surprise when he showed up with a sublime green 69 charger. (I wanted an AMC Gremlin) I wasn't too excited about the car, that is until I stomped the petal on that meaty 383. I was hooked. Turned the big five-o this year and am looking for a little youthful inspiration so to speak. I'm looking to build a 68 Dodge Charger convertible resto mod, she'll look stock but have all the best of modern technology. I understand this may be considered blasphemy for hardcore Dodgers, but I've just fallen in love with the renderings I've had done.

My question is this... apparently there is someone named "Mars" who has built some Charger "verts" - where can I get more information?

Also, I've read you can basically buy any "B" body, pull the existing sheet metal and replace it with new Charger sheet metal. Is this a possibility?

Looking forward to being a part of this community.
Thx,
Tim

Welcome to FBBO

I've seen a few of them converted to drop tops, some are OK & some just don't look right,
to me, it's hard to improve on the 68 Charger R/T Body lines period,
but I like the renderings...

good luck
