Just call me COOTER!!! Reply #11 – May 21, 2007, 01:31:11 PM So was that one of the "close-up" cars?That's cool you got to sign it, a little history there.As far as the "original"....only differences between a '68 and a '69 are a coupla exterior lights, and the rear panel.A lot less changes than say, a '71 into a '69.Kudos to the owner for keeping the '68 rear style...Dad had a 383 hi-pro '68 Roadrunner, only thing that would beat it was the 454 Chevelles, and anything with a 440 or a HEMI, or those 428SCJ Stang's...but he never ran into any of them.Wish he still had it.Dominator...you lucky ass!

Just call me COOTER!!! Reply #12 – May 21, 2007, 03:20:11 PM Wait, does it have a black interior? Should be tan.It's cool that people do that and kudos for the guy tributing his car to the series but why is it that everyone seems to get so close yet be so far away.I thought the '68's that appeared in the series had the rear panel cut out and one from a '69 installed along with the correct '69 split grill. I remember reading about that somewhere. It was a blue '68 that they modified into a '69 for the series and it was one of the last 17 or so surviving cars from the series. All were sold by Warner Brothers years ago.I do prefer the '68 to the '69 Charger though. Quote Selected

So basically Big Blocks hehe. That's a nifty little car though, I heard they went through nearly a hundred of those cars over the course of the series, anyone know the total number? I like how they guy has people involved with the car sign it. Quote Selected
Just call me COOTER!!! Reply #14 – May 21, 2007, 05:19:21 PM Yea it was kinda cool to sign the car as if i where something to the car.Hell i only put a steering box in it and did an alignment but the guy asked me to sign it, said he would not have been able to goto his next car show(in the states)without me.This car did have a black interior,i asked the guy and he did say it was not an original but a replica.Still get a ton of looks and people wanting to check out the car.The cast signatures on the trunk are a definate add on to the cars history.Means that everyone of the original cast has seen the car and respects it enough to put there signatures on it.Wonder if the shops gonna start getting in all these old mopar's now LOL.
