Default JB666 Inspired Me, What Do Y'all Think?

My friend CF member JB666 got the car of his boyhood dreams, a beautifully restored 1969 Charger. It is a Dukes of Hazard General Lee replica. It's very well done with a 472 hemi.

Well, it inspired me for a possible color change of my C5. What do yall think?

Thanks to Zilla for doing the chops. To be honest, I kind of like the colour in the second pic.

I like the "Miner Orange" color! But please make sure the "accessories' are made out of self cling vinyl.

Go Miners!

Ok, I will post more later.. This is on the back of the truck on our way home from Maryland.


As Cozmo said, it went through a 2.5 year frame off resto. Has a brand new 472 Crate Hemi with under 20 miles on it.

You can follow the restoration here:

Needless to say, the car is an animal.
