Here's my '69 Charger I built about 3yrs ago pretty much out of the box other than the BMF. I had a '68 back in high school in these same colors, other than the interior, mine was blue. Can't wait for Revell to issue the '68 again so I can replicate my long lost '68. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Beautiful work as always Bill!! I really wish Chrysler could have picked up more styling cues from this era for their current Charger than what it is now. :(

Sad Charger story.................When I was in a senior in high school, I had a friend that had a '68 Charger that he absolutely cherished! One day coming home from school on the bus we had seen a car fire.............it was my friends Charger!

He tried to throw a cigarette out of the window while driving (all of the windows were down) and the still lit cigarette ended up in the backseat eventually catching it ablaze! :o

Needless to say, the car was history!

Thanks, Bill. It's always great to have your "seal of approval"! My Chargers demise came with a hard lesson. Back in October of '81, I had left a party drunk, went and bought a 6-pack and drove around, passed out and pushed the trunk of a parked Ford Falcon into it's back seat. Luckily, no one was hurt, but I sure cleaned up my act after that mess. What was left of the Charger sat in my parents garage for about 6 years, But being married by then and with money so tight, I had to let it go. I would still have that car if I wasn't so stupid in my youth!
