Hi forum, just bought 71 charger 383 SE
its my first classic car, so i will have tons of questions, but for now, im really wondering about that side molding my car has, i couldnt find a single charger with same one on the internet, so just wondering, is it a special additional option or just everyone removes it?

Will i have any problems by removing it?

Thank you

 

Its a dealer add on from the 80s!!!!! Junk

 

You have nice Charger, need to here more.

 

mouse -

I'd say someone put that on after the fact. The "fact" being a door ding and not wanting another one.

They work - but unless it's going to be a daily driver, just too fugly. But be careful, if that's old paint, some of it might come off when/if you remove the striping.

They are aluminum secured with rivets and a vinyl insert.

 

Thank you all, btw, sorry for my English, I'm from Cyprus=)

Ok, gotcha, junk staff,

damn, so if I remove it, I will find 1 million of holes.

, you asked more about the car, so its 383 charger, stored since 1991, automatic, numbers matching.

Im planning to actually "drive" this car, I guess this is why they were built) So, not yet sure, what I gonna do with it, of course new painting, engine rebuilding, mb will upgrade suspension, brakes. Really, any advise welcome.

Ah, btw, car is not with me yet, shipped from Netherlands.

 

1million , doubtful. Hahaha

 

I have the same vehicle same color same top but no side trim on mine.There are no marks I see where the side trim is on yours. I believe mine was manufactured in canada rear bumper brackets and rear drums stamped canada. yours was maybe manufactured somewhere else. I don't think it would hurt anything to remove it.

 

Oh lol, just noticed that 5 years passed, gosh, what a ride it was, i could probably write a book about that resto, every single thing didnt went as planned.
But here you go, here how it looks now

Do i ride it? probably got less than 300 miles, 3 fuel pump died, double carbs failed, moved to EFI, week ago on the first drive , old u joint got destroyed.
