My friend Brian's Charger convertible concept

[Trans Am Erik]

What to do with one of the Monogram cars with the warped roof?

[RodneyBad]

The chop looks.

Don't think I've seen a convertible charger.

Might want to try a bigger boot tho.

Maybe off the 68/69 roadrunner/gtx be more it's size?

Nice looking DOH in the back ground too.

im gonna keep my eye on this thread that looks like its gonna be a sweet build

[MrObsessive]

Wow! This is a neat conversion!

This would have made a sharper looking convertible than the regular Dodge Coronet IMO.

Ditto on using a larger boot...........I'd extend the tulip panel back a few scale inches. But then it IS a concept........who says it has to have a functional folding top?

Back in High School, A freind of mine,Lonnie Darton, had a BRAND NEW 69 Dodge Coronet R/T convertable that was about 2 months old when the got into a wreck. He had the WHOLE front end replaced with the sheetmetal from a 69 Charger, it TOTALLY interchanged with the stock front end, a VIOLA! a Charger Convertable!!! The ONLY dif was it didnt have the sculpted vents in the doors, but the 3 laser type tailights (that's what I call 'em) of the Coronet flowed PERFECTLY with the lines of the car! It WAS BEAUTIFUL, and I've NEVER seen another one. Just photo shop the Charger front onto a Coronet body an you'll see just how well it flowed,and HOW NICE it looked!!! Too bad Chrysler din't try it, they'da sold a ton of 'em!

Charger convertible is the car they should have built. It loses the unique roof line, but who cares?

Well, now that I figured out my password, I'm taking over the thread on my car! I did some browsing for Chargers and ran across a model of a red '69 Charger convertible!! It was built as a factory concept car, stock other than the top. So I decided to take my car in another direction. It will be a modern supercar convertible Charger. It will have a Viper drive train and complete Viper suspension. What do you guys think?

[Jantrix]

Wow. That looks VERY promising.

[GENERAL LEE]

The frame is just about finished. I'm just mocking it up to see how it sits.

[Trans Am Erik]

Loooking goodman! It has a nice stance.

[Janne Herajärvi]

Wow Looks great! Cant wait to see this finished...

[Greg Cullinan]

Triple white with bullhorns?

[charlie8575]

Interesting concept.

It is too bad that Chrysler didn't go with the Charger instead of the Coronet, I don't see it having been too bad a problem engineering-wise.

I've never seen pictures of a Charger convertible, factory prototype or otherwise, I'll have to go look for it.

[diymirage]

that looks awesome

nice job

[Trans Am Erik]

She came out real good! Nice job on the 2-tone too. I like it with the Viper suspension and drivetrain rather than stock just with the convertible top.

[george 53]

Eric's right Brian. The Viper chassis an suspension just add iceing to the cake! now that it's done,it just flows together so nicely. just a shame you weren't on the Charger design team!!! It came out GREAT!
