The 74 ram charger trail duster half door was only made up until the end of July of 74 after that they were a full frame door and you could actually order the truck with no top. The top was an option. You can find pictures of truckloads of those things coming in with no tops to the dealerships and then they were companies that produced a soft top and you bought it from them, but from the factory, you could get it with no top I’ve had the half door duster it’s cool. I have a 79. Full convertible except for the full frame door as they all were up until early 81 I’ve had many of them, but you could actually build that yourself make course it wouldn’t be factory.

That Charger is 'over the top' cool. Most people no matter the age look at you sideways when you say you paid more for an NOS part to use. With all the bluster about 'Made in the USA' most people are quick to pick cheap. Re: first car, one of the cheerleaders at my high school in the 80s drove a GTO Judge convertible to school. I've never seen another Judge convertible in person other than that one.

JUNKyard is right. Sadly guy’s post cars like that for sale for 8-12k lol. I’m so thankful I found my 69 coronet for 3k. Nearly a complete car with an extra truck 440 and trans. Even though it’s in very decent condition my car isn’t worth 6k let alone over 10. It needs a new trunk floor,extensions a door skin and lower quarters to be a completely solid car. Average costs to have those repaired by a shop would cost 5k plus another ten for paint if you don’t know how to do it and it getting done right. So for roughly 20k I’d have a painted car but there’s probably things that need replaced I actually can’t see without dissembling it. Mind you that at 20k (add another 5-8k if it’s a charger) nothing mechanical wouldn’t have been touched yet nor interior. That’s just an example of how expensive these dodges get. So I drive mine as is. Ratty muscle is where it’s at unless it’s a genuine 1of 500 car or something special. Guy’s are just pricing everyone out of the market and it really sucks
