Hello from Ohio. I just bought a 1968 Charger at an auction tonight, Im going to pick it up in the morning. I will sure I will be posting alot once I start to restore it.

 

Sweet we all will be around if you have any questions and post pics

 

Welcome! More on the GN..

 

Welcome to Mopar Forums.

 

Welcome.

 

I bought the GN two years ago with low miles so I decided to keep it stock. I only had it out twice this summer.

 

I just got back from picking up the Charger, Its mostly complete, but a project. I will post some pics later.

 

Stop all that silly talk...I don't go to Burger King and try to order a Big Mac, so no talk of the general here unless his last name is Lee!

 

welcome to the forum

 

 

Welcome to the big show. Good thing you finally got things staightened out and bought a mopar. Some of us have to make a few mistakes before we get it right.

 

I have been looking for a 68-69 Rodarunner or 68-69 charger for a few years. They have always been at the top of my list and all time favorite cars but out of my price range. I got lucky at the auction picking up this one, its a great restoration canidate. Looks like I will be selling the Ford or the buick to free up space and for the resore.

 

Blasphemy on selling the GN.

 

good choice
all mopar!!!!

 

I'd rather see the ford go but the gm is a close second. lol

 

no way
we'd rather see the gm go first, then ford

 

lol you talk like it's a cult here with only one thinking/speaking opinion

 

haha
maybe it is

 

Isn't it..lmao. Did MCC get the memo ?

 

Oh you silly moparians

 

yeah, MOPARforums.com is very misleading as to the content it presents

 

lol you missed my point

 

moparians
lol

 

I for one don't care what he keeps or what he sells, I'm just waiting for those pics still......

 

haha
i concur

 

Hey now!!!

The 2004 Mercedes CL600 V12 Twin turbo should go first....
You can upgrade the brakes once in a Mopar.
Upgrade the power steering once in a Ford.
or upgrade the cooling in a GM once
for one "tune up" that you have to repeat in a Mercedes...

Just a thought and a fact.

 

Ha, I agree they are expensive to maintain. I actually do all my sevice on the merc. (so far knock on wood). Or I wouldnt have been able to afford it. I love the car too much to sell it. stock it makes 500hp 596tq, with the renntech tune the car will make 604hp and 726tq. Renntech claims taking the stock 1/4 mile times from 12.5 to 11.7. Not bad for a luxury car. Its nice to have the cooled messaging seats and ac cranking in the staging lanes.

 

Sorry, I didnt take any pics of the charger before I started stripping the paint and tearing it down. I will get some pics of the on-going project poisted as i go.

Here are some pics from the auction I bought it at. It was pretty rough, but very solid and mostly complete. It did have some custom painted RT stripes that looked like they were done by Ray Charles.






A pic of my last mopar:

 

wow fancy the car looks good not to many floating around anymore

 

I just wanted to update a couple pictures of the chargers progress. Color is actually dark metallic green, looks black in any kind of shade.
I pulled it out of the garge after paint/ before we installed the vinyl top and snapped a few pics.
The vinyl top turned out great, I will post some better updated pictures once I get the engein and trans back in.
