Yep. 1973. Heck, if it looks good on a Challenger, it should look good on a Charger - right?

Nope. For example, I like the plum crazy on the Challenger, but not on a Charger. The Challenger is a much more aggressive looking car, the Charger more pedestrian.

Well, I went to see a dealer who had a Charger in every color except Ivory. I decided the Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat looked completely bad-ass, with the black trim and red brake calipers, and went with that. The Redline Pearl was just okay. The Jazz Blue was pretty, but the Granite just grabbed me better. So, here it is!

I like your choice with the gray ... I mean granite something something. Yeah you'll probably still see the dirt easier than on a silver or white car, but hey ...,it's a car ... not a show piece. Very pretty looking car.
 
Thanks! My truck is charcoal, and the pollen makes it look more gold in spring, but it just looks like part of the paint (not dirty), until it gets wet and streaks.

@Zkx14, do you see the rumors they're releasing a new Magnum with SRT 6.4L Hemi option? If they offer a 5.7L Hemi with AWD, I know we'll consider one to replace our V50 T5 R-design next year.

Haven't really looked, but been rumors for a while. Most of what I've seen looks like someone did a write-up and everyone else copied from it. Kinda looks like made up BS. In particular, some are saying it will be a $20K starting price? That seems rediculously low - isn't the Charger base MSRP around $27K? Have yet to see anything official. I would certainly expect them to offer some 'big gun' engine options if they ever get the Magnum going again. Mine is a 3.5l AWD.

Looks good either way. Is that yours? My dad had a 69 Super Bee 440 that I always wish he had kept until I was old enough to drive.

Like this? Originally a 383, now a 440 4-gear......

Well, "starting at" can mean anything. The Charger SRT 392 has an MSRP around $55k, with some basic options. I'm figuring Magnum AWD with 5.7L Hemi is going to be a $60k car.

My vote would've been blue with cream/ pearl/ white stripe, but the granite definitely looks nice.. if that's the same granite paint they use for the Rams, it has a purplish/ bluish hue in the sunlight, really nice looking- it's what I have on my truck :)

Yeah. With the right striping, the Ivory Pearl may have made a kick-ass color. Never even thought of white on ivory striping, but that could've looked real nice.

Happy with the granite choice, tho. Can always do some low-gloss black striping on that, if I choose.
