    In the new -December 2009- issue of MOPAR Collectors Guide is a car that some of you might find interesting.

    A guy in Canada took a 1969 Charger body shell, changed it over to 1968 (not that big a deal) but installed it on a 2007 Charger RT, body off, old body on, floor pan mods, etc, and used the 2007 interior, dash and all.

    Not to start a fight, but now it looks like a Charger (that 4 door LX body just doesn't look right, to me)

    This must have been a ton of work. The guy sounded like he would do it for others, I can see it now - a Dukes LX general lee - yuck! (hate that show, it was responsible for the total f'king up of more good chargers than anything)

    This mag doesn't have this issue on its web site, I guess you will have to go old school and go take a look a your local new stand, its near the back of the mag.

    No, that is not it; that car is an oldie with lx parts added, ie the dash etc. Note its door are old model on the interior. The one I am talking about is black, still running on the LX rims, full lx interior, chassis, and all

    Just to set the story straight, the 2006 Charger was never intended to be a retro car. It was purposely built as a four door family car.

    I love everything about my modern day charger. It is the reason I bought it, because of the 4 doors. :)

    x2...I mean who says something like this and doesn't post the pics!!! The 69 Charger is just dead sexy IMO...68 are a close second though.


    Stevo's pics are cool, but the interior is just...way out of place...some kinda retro update would have been much better IMO.
