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 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.

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:

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.
