Car looks stunning now, shame about the lies in the listing though.

new 1/4 panel and rear and it is as 'original' as most these days.

This is the response from the unsuspecting new owner.


Hello to all of you 😃😃😃. First i want to say thank you for all the gratulations and compliments. I was very surprised of that and very happy. The registration and the first message wrote my college from my company because i'm so busy in the last time. Second think i want to say sorry that my english is not so good and i hope you understand what i write. Now some answer's. Yes i bought the car at pedal to the metal. The car that they want to sell in the moment is another sublime Charger. If you want to see my car you can find it at there homepage under sold cars. They write 69900. But that is not true. It was 65000.-€. Fred told me at the telefon that the car is a perfekt dailydriver, solid body nearly perfekt charger and so one. Then i make the wire. I trust them. When i fetched the car i didn't controll the car. It look's so good and he was so nice that i trust them. When i was at home i see many problem's. Now i told it to them by email. After that i get your hole Information about the car and know i am not so happy with it. It cost many 1000.-€ till i can drive normal with the car. But we will see how correct Fred's Charakter is now !!! I will go there again and show him the thinks. And than we will see ! I don't want to give it back because it's very rare and i like it with his hole options color and so one. But i need some years to make the technik ok and after that i will sandblastet him and built him correct and in a perfect style. So i hope i make it correct and you can read my first news. Many Greeting to all my new Chargerfriend's. Matthias

Another reply off a Swiss customer of PTTM..........


Hello Matthias,
Just joint to wish you luck with the Pedal STD.
Thats the same "krankheit"that I got when I bought a 600 miles "old" 572 Hemi from Fred (PttM).
After just 700 miles , just before border of Switserland (Meeting Hemiswil) the engine made so much noise that the car went back on trailer to home.
When I got home and opened the engine , I found lifter gallery was hacked with grinderr to give clearance for linkbar of lifters.
Found oils suction tube almost closed due to some guy hit it with hamer to clear 4.500 stroke crank.
Found 3 pistons with old damage (ringland exposed).
Found 2 combustion chanbers (not same cylinder as piston damage) with heavy sigens of old exploded pistons.
When calling StageV for age ionfo based on serial numbers of heads , I was informed by StageV that heads where sold to RBRE as bare heads in 1996.

When confronting Fred with this it was not seen by him when he checked the engine.
And it could only be caused by my driving style and the EFI that I put on it.

After some checking around with other Mopar guys , I found out that he did drive only 600 miles with the enigne , but he did not tell me that the engine came from USA in a 69 charger which was a much used drag car.

Cost me about 9000 euro's in parts and labor to get it all back in good shape.

I wish you luck and strenght in your dealings with Fred . eek eek eek eek flame flame flame
