This is Milt's Charger. I have had the car since 1982. My son had it initially, and I took it over since it needed lots of work. It a 383 with 727 automatic. When I got it it had significant rust for a California car. I purchased a non running Charger for parts and combined the best parts from both. The rear quarter panels were replaced as well as one fender and door. The trunk floor on both cars was bad, so I replaced it with reproduction sheet metal from Year One.

After I got the body fixed I repainted it a Gold that is a close approximation of the original car. I also had the bumpers re-plated. Next I added posi, changed the headers, and had the exhaust re-done. I also moved the battery to the trunk. Next up was better braking so I upgraded to disk brakes in front with an MP (Master Power) kit.
The interior was next. I replaced the seat upholstery and padding, and repaired the console.
Things left to do:
> The engine could use a re-build. It runs Ok, but I think it could use a freshening. Also the engine bay needs detailing in general
> The electrical system needs work. The gauges are erratic sometimes. I have some newer harnesses (dash and firewall forward) that would/should fix things
> One passenger side quarter window has a scratch
