That would do for me as it is. 8-)
Build it your own way....dare to be different or whatever phrase you use, I like that approach.
I would rather look at a variety of cars at shows than a row of stockers.
People like Mopar Mark,Steve Case,Pete with the Sox,Blue etc have as much respect from me as people like Clivey,Ivor etc who have done mint stockers. Awwwwwwwwww bugger it I just love em all(nearly) ;)

Not really against peeps doing this type of thing- each to their own but

me- Id rather have it as it was intended - more interested in the nostalgia
and feel of an old yank-

more smiles per mile than gadgets and in car comfort!

I like it, the interior looks ok as well. Not sure about the air vents in the lower dash though, looks like they should be a bit higher up. Suppose the interior of that one is just another take on the silver one that Nick found as well - the one where the guy had fabricated his own dash as well.

Don't like the interior at all, it looks straight out of 'Street Rodder', and IMO doesnt suit a charger (or a rod for that matter)

Dont like the interior, or the wheels.

I Quite agree with you Tony, If your gonna do that to a Charger, use a base model one!!

Its a Charger. Common as muck. Cut them up and customise them as much as you like.

Anything is better than sticking 01 on the side and a flag on the roof. If I was a Charger and someone did that to me I would top myself. :lol:

No I think that is a nice custom that one.

Well, I would certainly do that to mine, being a humble 318 with no Fender Tag, build sheet etc, and therefore owes me nothing in terms of originality - wouldn't do it to an R/T, and would definitely have a more stock looking but improved interior. The light grey is very reminiscent of my Dad's Ford galaxy. yeeuch!

not a fan of low profile tyres either - fill the arches, fair enough, custom billet wheels again, love em, but its these massive wheels that give the car the "pimp my ride/Foose'd" look......

It might be an R/T, but we don't know what it was like when he got hold of it. He may have brought it back from the brink, in which case he is entitled to do as he wishes. If it was a clean and original numbers matching car, then it is a bit of a shame not to have done a resto on it. Mine is nothing like original, so mine is gonna be how I want it to be. If we all liked the same thing, the world would be a boring place. :D
