Thanks

OK I'll put something together. But it won't be short. It took almost a year & a half to convince Dick this was his car, phoning him every month, sometimes more with new evidence I was finding..

Here it is with current owner Todd Werner. turn it LOUD!!!!!

The completed car looks drop dead georgous, but I think he should reinstall the HEMI emblems on the doors along with the trunk filler panel. Both telltail trademarks for this car.

not of the best quality but definately my favorite pic of Dick in this car. Tires bitin' HARD, Wheels up, grabbin' second, & trademark cigar clinched in his teeth. All while doing a photo op looking at the camera. A true proffesional in every way.

notice it has the 68 side markers & 68 butt stripe, but a 69 grill at this time. Later he filled the markers & put a 69 stripe on it, but didn't install the 69 rectangular side markers. Also, you can really see the Charger HEMI emblems on the doors. Notice the wheel well trim. These cars didn't get that. Dick told me he installed them because the Hurst modified openings were so crude that he cut the back of his hand installing the slicks once.
