Would have probably been better off leaving it in whatever paint it was in, no matter what the condition was. Old FC bodies are cool….much cooler than anything new for sure.
The seller must have painted it without wearing a respirator. He’s delirious if he thinks this is worth $20K and Chad should have called him out for it in the article. Cool is cool, but we’re not stupid.
I believe 6 of these “mini-Charger 500” Fiberglass LTD bodies were built in 1969. These were for the blown nitro funny cars. Many more standard Chargers (non-flush rear window. non “mini-Chargers”) were built by Fiberglass LTD for injected cars. Of the blown Nitro Cars: Roland Leong got the first body with the first Logghe stage 2 Chassis ever built, Castronovo Brothers got the next Charger/Logghe Stage 2. Gene Snow and Nelson Carter (Super Chief) both got the same package sometime after Leong and Castronovo got theirs. Mr. Norm got his “mini-Charger” body mounted on an older design Logghe Stage 1. The sixth body was sold to Chi-Town Hustler team, which was mounted on their own design/built chassis. I believe all the “mini-Chargers”had Al Bergler tin work, except the Chi-Town Hustler.
I’m pretty sure he sold the company off a few years ago now but up until just a few years ago Army Armstrong was selling 68-70 Charger FC bodies(and many others) to nostalgia drag guys for a fraction of what this guy wants for his.
Plus they were brand new, I’m assuming were made better, not 50 years old, and were never crashed or on fire yet and they’d look exactly the same as an original body sitting in the back corner of your garage painted up. Just sayin.
IMO; the wheelbase on that car is considerably longer than the original one pictured in black & white photo. The wheelbase of F/C’s in 1969 were only 117 inch (+-). Compare the nose of the bodies (base of windshield opening to front bumper), you’ll see the difference.
