A new take on the 68 Charger look over a 2013 or 14 Charger body

  1. This is the way the newer Chargers should have looked in the first place. Love the shaker scoop. Could you post a side view? Is it a two door? They should have made them two doors as well, or at least offered a two door version.

    1. I post all the photos, I don't hold back. You can try google images and see if other websites posted photos of it... but I don't post some, I post all, of the photos I take. It was a 4 door, and I chose to align my camera so that wasn't visible, as I hate 4 door Chargers, and by taking the photos my way, it looks right, it looks good, like a 2 door, the way Chargers were intended to be. I must have done a good job because you needed to ask! I love that scoop too! Great front end treatment on this car! When they made the 2nd generation design of Chargers, they never offered a 4 door, unlike the Coronet... and they proved then that a Charger was never to be a 4 door, as the name implies "Charger" is a force, a runner. Coronet, well, that is a pretty head dressing and could be whatever design the crown maker wants. Same with Belvedere and Satellite. This recent 4 door Charger is an abomination, and event the seminal prototype/concept was a 2 door. Mopar lost it's way.

  2. i'd like to point out as someone who CLEARY knows more about old mopars then you
    that is MUCH more of a 72-72 cuda then a 68 charger 7.7 the grill type seen here wasnt used on chargers till the 69 model year
    and was the most distingusing feature about cudas in its 3rd gen bod style E body (70-74) with a 70 having a grill more like that of a 69-70 charger and a 71 having the fish gill grill and the 72-74s having a grill much thiner then those of 70

    1. Yeah, don't go breaking your arm patting your self on the back about that claim to know more, or to feel the grill is more 72 Cuda than 68 Charger. Explain what Barracuda had hidden head lights you ego maniac. Nor did the Barracuda come with an R/T badge. So, take another look at a 1969 Charger grill http://grillchar.info/1969-dodge-charger-grills/ and then get back to me about how you lost your mind. Hey, I get it, I said 68 Charger, and the tail lights are obviously 68 lights. As for your "72-72", pick one. Did you mean the 72? Or the 72-72? And breathe, get some oxygen to your brain. A 70 Barracuda grill... nothing like this Charger grill at all. What are you smoking? Very small black out section and the upper area of a 70 Barracuda frill is louvered, plus has the turn signals over the black out area, between headlights, which... again, this Charger does not show. Yes, a 71 Barracuda had a cool ol grill, which looks nothing at all like this Charger... so - to set this all up, a 70 and 71 Barracuda have grills nothing at all like this remake of a 1969 Charger grill. And lets go back to your nonsense about a 72-3-4 having a grill thinner than a 70....wtf are you talking about? Vetically the 72-3-4 grill has twice the blacked out area as the 70. And you misspelled "thinner" it has two letter n's. Put down the doobie, step away from the drugs. You're making no sense.
