I think so
I have't made the purchase yet
fellas at work seem to think it is
I'll get one at the NATS if they turn up..... used to get it every month but i'm not that interested in 3 part features on fisher bodies and pontiac which appears to have been a current and reccuring theme
exceptions can be made though
you don't see many aussie cars nevermind chargers
never passed one going the other way out side of a show
there should be 200 official UK imports knocking about but the banger boys and rust had loads of them in the 80s and 90s
you meet people who had one....
aussie charger club had 40 odd in it before it shut up shop...but that was way before my time
dave robbo, gringo, minty and steve with the VH wagon were members and i think matt still has the club flag somewhere
all nicely merged into the MMA

yeah i wa just trying to illustrate how a car can look really quite good even when you as the owner know that there are some pretty rubbish bits
my bumper for example is pretty bad it needs a re chrome and has done for years and years it turns orange on humid days
but catch the light right using a big camera with real chunks of 3 inch by 4 inch film in it
and it comes out looking ok the picture was direct off the negative scanner and he swears he hasn't pimped it up with phtoshop
i was amazed
so before sam, or was it dave, spends his cash on a full respray they need to compare just how good their cars are in the flesh along side a range of others not just what the see photgraphed in the mags the photographers are very skilled at making the best of what is there for an interesting set of pics and a decent article before they even turn to photoshop....
i can't see any pictures on here due to work policy so i can't see what their cars look like
but i bet they are pretty good....

Thats very true Dave, photos can be very flattering ( except my ex in our wedding photos!).... Loads, if not most classics at the shows look really good to everyone but their owners.... No one else notices the little bits that keep us awake at night. My rear bumper needs to be rechromed but I dont want to lose the patina, so not doing it

Hi Steve.
A good point made there !
My coronet has quite a few dings and scrapes etc also starting the usual back end rusting !!!
Don't like to bodge (horrible word) but just gonna seal her up and run her for a bit whilst the original paint and stripes are still on and also to see if any other nasties show their face.
Gonna have to do the bodywork at some point but it will be nice to have some time in her "as she was built"

Respray
Just by coincidence someone has offered to do a wrap on my 68 charger. Now I know this could be classed as sacrilage in some quarters but I'm on a budget and the car is sat in my garage cos I cant get the funds together for a full respray. I've been quoted £800 to do the whole car in vinyl. I see its been mentioned here but what are the pro's n cons of a vinyl wrap. Anyone on here had one done? I'm tempted cos I can experiment with the colour and more importantly get the car back on the street where it belongs. Thanks in advance ps my 68 will never be a concours car, and nor do I want it to be, so the quicker, cheaper option is ok by me.........
