Beautiful..... great score.
From a purest point of view, OEM wheel covers and whitewalls work better. Those wheels say "Chevrolet".

Nice!
Always liked those tailights!
My first car was a Charger that same color. I think it was a one-year- only color.

Well I guess it didn't really fall in my lap. Like anything there was work involved to make it happen BUT I was in no way looking for another car but my brother told me about it and then I couldn't resist so I went to check it out and well here it is in my garage lol. Yes I'm lovin the dark turquoise and pearl wht top, pure eye candy. This car is amazing how well kept it has been. I'm not sure what to do about the wheels. It comes with the original 14" bicycle rims with wheel covers which I may have to put on to keep it stock. I have a set of 15" Dodge Division wheel covers, you know the heavy ones, they I really like. Could I get away with those? Did 68 ever use them?

No , they are for the 69-71 models........

I just got another Polara 500. This one is a 1968 and also an L code 440 magnum. The big difference with my 69 is this one isn't a project and is turn key! It's a CA car and completely rust free repainted once but not the jambs etc. Nice interior too. Not perfect but very nice and all original other than the rims. Last thing I needed was another car but this fell in my lap and couldn't pass up such a great original Mopar.

Haha. Same sense of humor Dave. Looks like you got an appreciation for humor while I was wandering in the darkness

Had to look it up. Sorry but can't think of too many cars that are not better.

sorry Fred I assumed most folks on the board had seen the movie many times over and remember lines from movies like I do.

For those that haven't seen it, it's a line from the character Toad in American Graffiti ... one of my favorite movies ever.

My fav scene from this movie ... was actually an accident that got left in. He wasn't used to driving the scooters

Huh! Maybe ....

It's that fresh Idaho air.

LOL I had the same thought and the fact that it's so peaceful out there ... but back to talking about this fantastic find

Haven't seen that movie in decades. Recall it was pretty good.

Ok tonight I verified matching numbers. Nobody has ever cared to look because I had to wipe away the grime. I'm liking this car more and more!

 

[mopargem]

Took a few more pics tonight
