    Now this is kind of cool - 2013 "Superbird"
    « on: June 16, 2015 - 09:02:48 PM »


    Now this is a pretty slick looking new-Challenger "Superbird" conversion - I especially like the look and fit of the nose-cone :thumbsup: It's for sale at Gateway Classic Cars - bang it here to check it out http://gatewayclassiccars.com/orlando/1978/volkswagen/beetle-convertible-S184.html (I don't know why the link refers to a '78 VW 'vert, but it will take you to the "Superbird")

    Is it just me? The point of the nose seems too high.

    I think it's because they're having to conform to the relatively high crown line on the new Challengers.

    Those things have been around for a long time.  I always thought the nose looked good but the stick-on scoops and wing... :puke:

    Has anyone done this to a new charger?  Seems a little odd to be done on a challenger, but it still looks good to me.  I could drive that and feel good about it.

    It's possible, but the expense would be turning the charger into a 2 door!

               A 4 door car should NOT be called a Charger.   :2cents:  Pretty stupid    :2cents:

    I looked at a charger front end last night.  It is not streight and flatish like the challenger.  It is much more angular with more body lines.  I would suppose it would make it alot harder to get the look of a superbird with the more stylized front sheetmetal.  The long body of a charger would fit in better with the look of a superbird, even if it has an extra set of doors.  Any photoshop experts out there?

    crucify me if you want...but IMHO the only thing I like about the new charger is the taillights. Other than that, it seems like a rebadged modern Intrepid.
