Same Charger,same house! First pictures 1989 not long after I got it on the road.. Other pictures are from last fall.The paint will be 20 years old this year as is the resto, but you know it is really never finished. It is painted in it's original RR 1 Yellow.I have since replaced the rear leaf springs with some that give it about a inch more lift.

Thanks. I actually parted one out years ago that had a vinyl top that was the same color. I parted a bunch of Chargers back when you could buy parts cars for $100 or a few hundred. They now want a few thousand for those same cars in the same condition!

The price was $600.00!

Kinda cool.

I may try it on one of my '67 Charger kits.

Wow that is one sweet looking Charger!! And it's so cool that you have owned it that long. I had a chance to buy a '66 about 10 years ago from a buddy in NM for a pretty good price, but didn't have the room to put it anywhere so I passed on it.
