One Man's "Done Tastefull" [sic] is Another Man's "Not So Much!" - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I've been semi-keeping an eye out for a Dodge Magnum (I know, I know. But what can I say, I was a hotrod kid and a Hemi wagon still appeals to me). Nothing serious but I'm always looking. Anyway I came across this one, the wheel & tire combo isn't my style but otherwise I didn't think it looked too bad.

Until I saw the interior.

Just wow. As if the seats weren't enough, they had to do the headliner, too.

I couldn't help but get a chuckle out of the description.

The good: car has custom polished stainless grill. a custom upholstered red ostridge leather interior. done tastefull, cost $5000 alone. also has full borla catback exhaust. asanti 3 piece 22" wheels. staggered with 6" lip in rear and 4" lip up front.($6000) and full KW adjustable coilovers front and rear ($1800) the rest of the car is factory.

That part should have been down in "The bad" section!

Maybe they should have had the interior redone in leopard skin.

That I might have been able to live with.

(Still not so much but couldn't be worse.)

I considered offering him $5K less to cover the cost of having it reupholstered but decided against getting my a$$ kicked.

They could probably get their hands on a Tiger skin pretty soon...at a much cheaper price.

Heheheheheh....

I like the look of the Magnums, and want an SRT-8 Magnum. They look sooo good.

Too bad we never got his here:

300C SRT8 Touring.

I don't know, might be a lot of flaws in the hide from repeated golf club beatings.

I'd actually do the Charger nose swap, like the one you posted awhile back. I like the Charger nose the best out of the three but am not a fan of the rest of its body lines.

Do they sell headliner covers, too?

iwrock · #10 12-03-2009, 03:15 PM

Yeah, that does look pretty good.

That one looks mean...

Yeah, if Darth Vader actually had custody of his kids, that's what he would have driven.

How about this one?

Magnum with Challenger front...

thorsen · #14 12-03-2009, 03:33 PM

I have a soft spot for those and the new Chargers, too. I decided about 9 months ago that they weren't going to be many unmolested ones left in 2-3 years. I can't understand why someone would by the Charger with the V6 and hub caps and then start putting those engine "portholes" stickers from AutoZone on it.

I really like the new Challengers but that's ^^^ not working for me. If I weren't the aforementioned Darth Vader with custody of my kids I'd be all over a Challenger.
