426GeneralLee Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 I'm lookin to find myself a 69 Charger....something that's not like a int car, but something that needs some restoration, but there's enough car there to restore..but still, the biggest problem is that I live on the east coast of Canada, and Charger's are gettin pretty scarse around these parts, anyone out there maybe have any idea of what I can do here?

Mrs. Luke Duke Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Cool, I'm also from Eastern Canada (PEI). Chargers are really hard to find here. The first car I learned to drive in (after I got my learner's permit) was a 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible that my dad restored (he likes restoring older cars). The steering was really loose in it and the speedometer was in M/PH. My ex-boyfriend told me that someone he knew had a restored Dodge Charger all made into a General Lee replica, he said that the fellow lived in Stratford, PEI (not sure if he still has this car or not).

426GeneralLee Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 Wow, I never would've thought I'd have found another east coast canadian on this site in a million years, you must be able to feel my pain when it comes to finding 69 Chargers.....I know of a guy who has a replica General ina town like 10 minutes from here, but he's not selling...at least not at a fair amount.

fathead Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Wow, great to see some Canadian fans...I'm from Moncton, NB (originally from the very small town of Rexton). The only Charger I remember seeing around here was a 1970 4-door, forest green with a shift box. Beautiful car, but not the '69 R/T. My uncle stored it in his barn as a favour to a friend - I'd always sneak in and get behind the wheel. ...and I remember seeing a Rabbit or Chevette painted up like the General in Bridgewater 5 or so years ago (it was a really pro job...!)

426GeneralLee Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 Yeah I remember that "fake" General Lee. Not bad....I was thinking of doing that to my car cause I'm painting it in the spring, but......it's just not right in my opinion...painting a none 68 or 69 Charger like the good ol' General Lee..

Julieduke Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Anybody watch the Red Green show, I would like to see Red attempts at making a General Lee. It probaly be the Possum Lodge van repainted. Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Bahahahaha!! Yeah, I remember the Red Green Show. Though painting the Possum Lodge van orange and adding the "01" , may be somethin' the world ain't ready for. I know I'm not ! Brian Quote
