ianguilly Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A little over a month ago came across this original 1970 mpc charger that was built up to look like a general Lee wannabe. For $10.00 I couldn't pass it up. It has since had a roadrunner chassis, engine bay,and tires pot on. It isn't a show winner but it looks way better than it did a few months ago. Here's the starting point. And the final product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Beautiful save and restoration! I think you can find the 1:1 version of this same car on the front cover of the November 2014 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine, except that 1:1 has a White vinyl roof and facory luggage rack on its trunk lid. According to that article, this color combination of Sublime with a White interior was getting quite rare on 1970 Chargers.

JTalmage Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Looks good. Some better pictures and adding a brake booster/master cylinder would bring it over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
