guitarkid Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I agree, I would definatley change the wheels, and the gears, a 3.45 is knd of lame. -gk Quote
Red Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I'd paint it like this one ;D http://ww3.cad.de/foren/ubb/uploads/nightsta1k3r/GeneralLee.jpg Quote
dave Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 A friend in school had a 69. Only difference seems to be the chrome around the grill. Nice car. Quote

Super User fourbizz Posted September 25, 2009 Super User Posted September 25, 2009 I love all the time and attention paid to the engine and engine compartment, then they put a bent up K&N right on top to stare you in the face. Jeez guys, take 30seconds and straighten that sucker out. Quote
-nick- Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 That would easily be a 10/10...but those wheels make it at most a 6/10. I'd still kill to be able to drive it though! ;D Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted September 26, 2009 Super User Posted September 26, 2009 I'm with you Redline. Perfect. I even like the wheels. I agree with fourbiz though-it would only take a few seconds to straighten the air filter. I had a 72 challenger back in the day. The only car I've ever owned that I really liked. Totaled it and a sweet chevelle in one fell swoop. :'( Makes me sad all these years later. Quote
ArcticCat500 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 that thing is The wheels arent bad at all, think about this, you cant mount factory mopar wheels and poly glas tires on that, with that suspension & HP dialed the way it is the car would be all over the road, thats a perfect match. I'll bet she's on rails for a big car like that. Gotta agree they gaffed that air filter..I don't understand?. I would never touch the gearing...all that HP and gear ratio gives it a nice crusier, that car wasnt made for the 1/4 mile....she was made to run. And run she will. Go for RLR, she's all you Bro ;D Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted September 26, 2009 Author Super User Posted September 26, 2009 They sold this car. Lucky for me, they can build another just like it. I'm done with Italian exotics. Time for some good ol' US Muscle. May need to start this project sometime... By the way, I found the perfect wheels. Quote
skillet Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Robert, if you are thinking American, could I recommend one? An original Ford Cobra (not a kit car ) with the 289 High Performance. Personally, don't know why they changed to a 427. Too much engine for that size car. I know, I know, there was a time that I didn't think you could have too much engine. Probably the only Ford I ever wanted to own ... skillet Quote

fish-fighting-illini Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I was a teenager around the time of a lot of these. Mustangs, Superbees, Chargers, Challengers, Olds 442's, 454 Chevelles, 327 Camaros, Dusters, Cuda's you name it. What a time to be a teenager. I rode in a bunch of them during my "2nd" lunch ea day when I was supposed to have been in class. I wasn't a gearhead but I got along with a wide variety of people including the gearheads. Another guy and i "finagled" ourselves into a second lunch period ea day. The teacher didn't know about it of course and we never got caught so all was well. Re-live my childhood for me Robert go for it. You might consider a "show" set of tires and a set for "fun" as being a wise investment. Good Luck Quote
GLADES Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 It's perfect. Except for the wheels. 1970 Dodge Charger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSAsnTR122w Yea, its nice. I especially liked seeing it from the front in the rear view mirror of my 1969 mustang! Quote

However $400+ for an original car is some serious dough. Shelby Automobiles is currently building cars for about $150k. Quote

After a few zero to 100 blasts, I has to reinsert my eyeballs:) Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 All that bling and they used an Eagle rotating assembly. : Quote
skillet Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Man, and I thought they were high dollar back when they were new ! Glades I am eternally envious (there's no smiley for ***, I looked) ... skillet Quote
