Is that you! If so thats a picture you should frame and hang up somewhere. Im sure some in your family would really apprentice it. BTW maybe a little lighter on the top, hair wise like most of us LOL, but you look to be still in great shape!

A 68 Charger with a 69 grill?

You liked that huh? I guess that was how the shivvy guys do things down in Mississippi where it came from. How about the dual R/T emblems? How about the green vinyl top, green interior with 70 Super Bee high backs. Pop rivet in some 1/8" plate in the trunk to cover up the holes. Then paint the car burgundy. I overpaid for it but it was a rescue mission from a Bozo. He even painted the engine compartment black. Here is some more evidence and a pic with a 68 grille. I did re-use the 69 bumper guards though. Silly me.

Dad bought this car in 75. He passed in 2013 and I had it shipped to me. Took 18 months and too much money but we wouldn't change a thing.View attachment 563544 View attachment 563542 View attachment 563543

You are very fortunate that dad was a car guy and you were able to get the Challenger and bring it back to be a heirloom!
