HEMI Charger owner from TX checking in...

[bzabodyn]

I've lurked around here for ages and figured I would check in and register.

Back in 2007, I found and restored a matching-numbers '69 Charger R/T with a HEMI and 4spd and track pack. R4 Charger red, black vinyl top, black stripe, black interior, red "H" wheels with dog dish hubcaps. Rare on its own, but with this color combo, it's the only one left... Coolest part it was sold originally in my hometown (where I found it) and I bought it from the original owner with only 59k miles. Full resto threads on dodgecharger.com under the same user name.

Now, I'm looking for something new to mess with - I really want a '69 Super Bee or '70 Roadrunner (eventually want both) but want to do upgraded suspension, better seats, wheels/tires, 440-6pk etc. if I find a 'bee I'll make it a pro-touring A12 style car. Any leads would be appreciated. Looking for a complete running/done car and to do upgrades little by little.

Here's some pics of the Charger:

Yes, 275/60 on 15x8, 245/60 on 15x7 front. Could have went way wider in the rear but didnt want to steer too far away from the stock look.

Resto thread:

First shop swindled me bad - owners in Federal prison serving long (20yr) terms for international wire fraud, theft, etc. Jeff's resurrections in Taylor TX saved the day and made it into what you see today.
