Body swapped charger to general lee
มุมมอง 36K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I found this 1970 charger, it’s been there sitting for years! Found the nice owner! Bought the car and started building it. Nothing special just a fun beater car. It could of been restored but I wanted to build it on a newer car Took 3 months on and off after work

    Over 400 Chargers were destroyed in the stunts for Dukes of Hazzard the good news the fury police cars which were not only hideous designs were not well made many were rejected as not fit for duty by police departments when new. That was good news for the Chevy Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria as they were much better suited to the durability needed for round the clock non stop use.

      One huge advantage that Mopar had was that manufacturer was alone in offering a true police pursuit car in the Calif market, with the 440 Magnum from ca 1972-73 up till 1978. Ford and GM both; had nothing in that state after the ca same 1972 era; no 460 PI, the Chevrolet 454 went away after 1974, etc

      I don't think that's right. The 1st gen had a wheel base of 114.4 , 2nd gen had wheelbase of 114.7. That's a 2nd gen he used. A town car has a wheelbase of 117.7, compared to the Charger's 117.0. Seems like it would be better to use the Town Car.

      Most likely a Charger, as long as the vin is in the body and that being the likeness of the vehicle seems like the most logical choice, projects like this where the vin is missing or completely custom or one off builds will require a VIN assigned to them, that is as long as all the paperwork is in order, laws vary depending on your location.

    I debated back and forth. This was the reason I bought a Vic in the first place but I ended up selling it. I will say for really cheap to get that car to sound really good all you gotta do is cut the muffs out and throw in 2 18in straights (or however long it is, maybe it’s 22 in it’s been a while) and the car comes alive. I can send you a clip of me whipping around my Vic so you can get an example of what it sounds like.Also good idea for just getting a shell. I imagine it’s just swap and drop for the most part. Thanks for posting this stuff this inspires me to do some more digging and see if I can make it a somewhat realistic goal for me in the next 5 to do something like this. Hats off to you sir
