I'm leaning toward the Magnum. 1979 Magnum: Link to "www.daveschultz.com" 1976 Charger SE: http://www.cars-on-line.com/25240.html -- Last edit: 2007-03-24 05:31:01
firebird86 ◊ 2007-03-24 07:37	Looks like a Charger to me, comments?

I'm looking at the license plate being mounted above, instead of being partly tucked below, the top of the bumper. I'll bet its a Charger too. When did Chrysler go from three bar tail lights to two bar?
