Morgans 68 Charger
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 06 10:39 pm
Well - Its been a long wait, but here she is...
68 Charger, 318 (seems to have a 4 barrel and a cam in it, goes quite well really...). Gearbox seems to run fine but needs adjustment (I hope !).
Needs some TLC (Chrome pitting and polish mainly) - Really nice unmolested interior , just needs driver seat sorting.
YES - I am going to get the car re-registered to an 'F' !
Plan is to spend the next few weeks sorting the immediates and hopefully see you all at the Nats !
I have been amazed by public reaction... Kinda cool, kinda scary.
Happy man
UPDATE -
Couple of interesting option codes having decoded the Fender tag -
Seems she was spec'd for export so there are some bits on there which I would associate with a higher spec car despite only being a 318. (tictoctac, remote mirror etc). Wonder where she was exported to ? (pre here of course).
