I'm sure it's been done before but after seeing few cars in the WIW section with custome paint schemes from the 70s that survived I wanted to see more. Post pictures of cars that still exist or even some from back in the day for everyone to enjoy.

Well this may not be one of the better paint schemes or even good quality but it was painted back in 1969 as you see it here. I have had this car since 1971 and parked it in 1976. This pic is when I pulled it out of storage in 2008.



Upgraded everything except the paint and here it is in 2009.



And once again in 2010.



And once again n 2012.



Maybe one day I will repaint it but hard to do since it's been this way for so long.

So ------ repaint or not

I agree!

Here's a neat cuda was for sale a while back. I saved the pics because there was a very well known 74 blk cuda with same color strobe stripe growing up in our town. By the early 80's the car was parked out front of a bar called the maple inn and it sat there deteriorating until around 92 it vanished. At first I thought this was the car but its not.

someone needs to post Choppintimes car

It is very cool as is - a nice time capsule.

One from Garlit's last year.

My real R code Hemi 4 spd Challenger that I owned back in the 1970's...

(That '71 Hemi X was returned to OEM long ago...)

Too bad, maybe I should have said any pictures, I guess I really don't care if they have been changed they are just so cool to look at.

Hemiviper, that Challenger is/was awesome.

Both have since been changed because of value, but once upon a time...

.

Choppintines car is still cool!! Is that a recent paint? or a blast from the past??...

Very much from the past. I forget what year he said.

And the wild Orange '70 Hemicuda with the slotted mags that belongs to a member here from Finland? or Norway? Very cool car.

here is one of my faves...saw it in some old rag back in the 80s...real hemi car..

I love those old paint jobs!! Awesome thread!

This one was built in teh early 80's, smashed up, and it disappeared until recently! Good to see it back on the road and unrestored! Like the style or not, it's a super cool local car I've been hunting for for decades!

Now this sure beats the Prius thread!

Mine....

This one?

You mean a car that doesn't pollute, gets good mileage and people all love it??? BORING LOL

Awesome cars, keep 'em coming.

67 Plymouth, Ex race car claimed to be from Jere Stalh's 67 team.

Can't forget these 2 Arlen Vanke cars in a wild paint thread.
Matt

Wow. Those are awesome.

One of my rides, while not a 70's "survivor", a 70's recreation



Mike

Some more....

The Dayclona is awesome. I just noticed the detail of the front bumper.

great stuff

My 71 Challenger V code 440-6 the way I bought it in mid 80's.
13 coats of lacquer and murals from the Nazareth "Hair of the Dog "album

The airbrushed paint scheme on the TA hood.
Car was painted this way in 1976

70`s custom paint cars are so uniquely awesome. Original paint cars are boring. Love the blue RR.

Painted 1972

These were just posted on Facebook from a car show.

great thread. I really like the Yellow 71 chally. it had a blown injected Hemi in it last time I saw it at the nat's. owner was Loyd.

Then (1970)
and now...
Best part is the same guy did the lace paint work on both cars...43 years apart...

that Charger is sweet!
