Found a Great Historical story , about
the creation of the 68 Charger.
Richard Sias ,such a Legend !!, love
the part about Alien inspiration,he surely deserved the credit , as his team members honoured him so

Hi Mopar people , I’ve spent some time getting the trim & moldings back in shape it’s a lot of dedication , I never took the car apart , for the restoration ,done by other good peeps , I’ve been working on it endlessly, and realized it doesn’t stop till it’s over , and another takes over , I don’t want to get all sappy , I hope it’s my son , I’m so in love with both of them , I just hope when he’s old enough, he’ll will look back and drives it like he owns it , cuz dad did !!!!
