    Interesting. 1st time I've seen a 73 in yellow (I like it and I'm not partial to yellow). If I'm not mistaken the orange was not a factory offered color in 68 (had a friend who owned the same car in silver)? Do any of them still exist?

    You are correct. My bother's 1968 Charger was originally all white. He bought it used and had the body painted orange and the vinyl top black. It was originally a 383 2-barrel car. He added a Holley 4 barrel, dual exhausts, Hooker headers, Thrush mufflers, hood pins and G70x14 Polyglas tires. Unfortunately, I don't think it is still around.

    My 1971 'Cuda is still owned by the guy I sold it to. My biggest mistake.

    The guy who installed the hood scoop covers has doubled down. He now has side window louvers. Doesn't this create a giant blind spot?

    Just never liked the looks of those things and yes. You can’t see squat now.

    I think Tom might have another nasty habit - creeping around in other guys' garages. ;)
    Did you just walk inside to take that pic? :emotions33:


    Not garages...just other websites.
