January 28, 200521 yr 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?
January 28, 200521 yr 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).
January 31, 200521 yr Author 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.
January 31, 200521 yr 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...!)
January 31, 200521 yr Author 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..
February 22, 200521 yr 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.
February 23, 200521 yr 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
