    Crappy Old Photos

    When I was in HS I had a 68 Charger R/T 4-speed Dana 60 3.54:1 rear in metallic green with a black vinyl top (I know, weird...Mopar and vinyl tops.) Back in the '70s we didn't photograph everything all the time. I have almost no photos of that car save for a couple of very poor burnout photos.

      

    the lighting is wrong and the photo is tiny, off of a print from the old 110 format so the negative was only 13mm. Not a great format. The car looked more like this, but hey, that's not MY car. 



    AI to the rescue. Took a few minutes. And to think I was at one time thinking of learning Photoshop since my company already pays the Adobe Suite use fees. Ouch.

    That needs to be black with a 68 Highland Green fastback hot on its tail!

    Funny. I wish. But I was a kid of just 8 when Bullitt was released and I'm not sure I had seen it by the time I bought the Charger. Back then, movies came and went and I wasn't watching anything on a VCR in 77 or 78. My HS buddy Mike Geis had a 67 fastback but it was a bit ratty, light blue metallic and in driver condition. I think he got kicked out of my HS before I got the Charger. Not sure. If only we would have been wise enough to recreate those scenes out by the airport and catch them on 8mm film like RPM and I did with my '65 Polara. We jokingly called that footage "A Boy and his Dog/Dodge"
