where could i find a charger to turn into a general lee?

[edjr00]

ive have been looking for years and the one i did find was so bad and the guy wouldnt part with it please help :cry: :-?

[lost_sheep3]

Check out AutoTrader type magazines, swap meets, car shows...I'm sure that there are online sites too, but I am not sure what they are. I found a Charger at a swap meet a few years ago that I would have loved, but they wanted a lot for it and it needed a lot of work, just to get it in working order, nevermind turning it into a General.

Unfortunately, it seems that with the number of Chargers destroyed during the show, Chargers are higher priced because they are in high demand. Even in bad shape they command a high price.

Good luck! I am actually heading somewhere this weekend to check out a 1970 Charger (I know they used a 1969, but the only big difference I have found is the front bumper on this one and I may not even turn it into a General for it is sharp right now lol). I have been looking for some time and they are out there if you keep looking. I know some buy off of ebay...

I hope to have good news this weekend if this Charger is worth it...I am going to try and grab it!

You can always check out www.eBay.com
They always have Chargers for sale. Some sweet ones for high dollar and some project cars for about $5000 and up.
I'm looking for one to work on, but the ones I'm finding cost too much for sooooo little. Good luck though.

I actually just bought a 1970 Charger today with a 440 in it Needs some interior work, but the body seemed real solid...with what the prices are on these cars lately...I think the one I went with for what was in front of me was priced reasonably. He went down a couple thousand on it.

Is there much difference between a 69 Charger R/T and a 68 or 70?

[CountryGal1975]

The one difference I have seen between mine (1970) and an 1969 is the I-Piece in the front grill. 69 has it and a 70 does not. Just real minor details.

[DixieCJ-7]

hlpag.com They are located north of CHicago. I have never seen one of the generals they do in person but you can buy them complete or semi complete they also generally have some unrestored chargers for sale.

and the 69 has the "[===]" shaped tail lights while the 68 has to "OO" on each end other then that its the same on the body.

Look. You want a '69 Charger? Painted like the General? Check it OOUUUTTT... :o

[Scott]

Okay, okay...how about a long meaningless relationship...as long as I get to drive the Charger every now and then. When it comes to that, I do windows. Every now and then I will Armor All too.

What'll be cool is this monster storm (Katrina) blowing out in the gulf knocks down some old barn and uncovers a primo Mopar. I'll snag it as it floats by.

To convert a 70 to a 69 you need a 69 hood,fenders,grill,bumper. Then on the quarters the side markers are lights ,not reflectors like on a 69 so you'd have to fill them in or try and convert them for a 69 reflector. Also expect to pay lots of money for any 68-70 Charger now even for a bad shape one.Here is my General. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/455000-455999/455318_2_full.jpg

Awesome General TimDuke!!! :D

Where can we find a fron grille (1969) to fit a 1968 Dodge Charger? Also, howwa about the back tail-lights on a 1968 Charger...How can one alter those to resemble a 1969 Charger?

Thank you for your time!
Kind Regards,

Keep the 68 stuff! Looks cooler! Make it triple black and do the Bullit style!

I have also been keeping my eye open for a 1969 Charger for a "fair" price. A couple of weeks ago I ran across a 1970 Charger while cruzing West on Hwy78 near Georgia/Alabama State line. It was sitting next to a garage with about two dozen other vehicles and most, if not all looked like pure junk. I guess the Charger looked to be in the best shape of all but BELIEVE ME it was a junker. At this time the garage was closed (Sunday) so I was unable to obtain any information about the car.

I went back by the shop on Tuesday and noticed that the Charger was gone. I asked one of the employees about the Charger and he started laughing! He told me they ran across the Charger in a junk yard about a week ago and had it towed to their lot to see if it would sell - as is!
This guy said the Charger was on the lot for about 6 hours before a passing motorist stopped and purchased the car for "around $9,000.00! I was then told that the buyer left the car on the lot over the weekend before he picked it up. The shop guy told me that about 10 people came by over the weekend wanting to purchase the car and offered more moneyAlso told there were about 2 dozen messages left on the shop's phone answering machine monday morning in reference to the Chargerl And this was all after they had sold the car on Friday!

This is good news if one has a Charger for sale but bad news for people like me , since I don't have a lot of $$$$ to spend on a car which will end up parked in a garage and hardly ever driven. After seeing what this 70 Charger looked like and what it sold for I am not too hopeful about finding one already "running" in my price range. Best thing I can say is wait a year or so and maybe the prices will come down. Right now with the new Dukes movie and the tv show being so popular everybody is wanting a 68-70 Charger. Next year people will want something else and Charger prices will come down - unless there is another Dukes movie!!!!!!

[Johnny]

Yeah man, that's a shame! I hate all those trendies! I always wanted a Charger never had enough money. know that I could afford the prices they had some years ago, the damn prices went up and up!

Did u know what engine was in the car? maybe it was a hemi.... :-( Then the 9000 would have been cheap.

[jtbeach]

I believe it was an " R/T" model so I am guessing possibly a 440??? Still the car was trashed and a rolling rust bucket!! It would cost big $$$$ just to get it running and drivable/ street legal. It actually looked like some of the Chargers which are selling for parts only on Ebay. I am sure someone with the $$$$ to put into it can fix it up but it is way out of my price range.

I would be happy with a standard issue Charger with the 383 (to save on gas) - If I can just find one in the right price range. It is kid of funny since I actually owned a 1971 Charger about 15 years ago but sold it due to the high cost of keeping it up and the gas prices! It was army green with green interior and basically looked like a grandmaw car but it would run like the wind!

[Dukes Fan]

some awesome pics here :)

although i am form the Uk, is it possible to import chargers over to the uk?

i am looking to make this into a project, but being in the UK it is a littl difficult, i know that i could possibly fly to the USA, but do any sellers import cars to the United Kingdom?

[jtbeach]

I am sure for the right amount of $$$$$$ you can have a Charger shipped anywhere in the world - Question is would it be worth it????
