"Vintage"  meaning "ICE Chargers."    😉 😉     

I would never want this 4-door in real life, but in 1/18 form - I'm in!  😎 😎    I'm not certain exactly when this Autoart  4-door Charger will be available....but I'll be ready.   Actual colors & prices have not yet been announced, but I suspect $190 - $240 and at least 3 colors.

Like you, I'm not into four door cars, per se. I have owned a few and loved them, loved the convenience of them, but two-door cars have always been my passion. As a model, however, this is COOL!

@100ford2003 I assume it's the cool 2-tone paint application Steve.

"Oh, or Internal Combustion Engine...duh......"

Correct!   (...as noted on my post   😏 😏)   Although, new 2025-'26 ICE Chargers are coming, currently only EVs are available and look nothing like "vintage Chargers"  such as this 1/18 Autoart  red-eye Hellcat sedan.

@chris I much prefer the 2-door Charger styling shown.  Not in electric though.

As a 1/1 not for me, as a model I like it.

For the V6 Charger I would say the blue color you have is perfect for it.

Thanks, Jack! I wanted AWD and that's only available with the V-6, not the Hemi.

I absolutely LOVE the color...it's called "Frostbite" and that paint was a major factor in my decision to buy the Charger!

Beautiful car! I like the model too. Will you paint the wheels to match the nicer looking ones on your 1:1?

I think it's an age thing. Younger people, my son for example, seem to like those blacked-out wheels but to my eye, they just look like they're covered in brake dust!

@moe-parr ...but that 1/24 model appears to have YOUR 1:1 wheels....   so why not paint them silver to match?     

Speaking as a guy who RARELY finds models of actual 1:1s I've owned, I must say - you gotta  do it Barry!    Silver is such an EZ color to spray; it dries fast and looks great! 

PS

The older I get, the more I like shiny black rims.  Years ago, I hated them.     ...and yes, HEMIs were never optional on AWD models; I once inquired about a coupe.

@chris - I love black wheels, but only on other people's cars, not mine.  My preference is always chrome, followed by polished wheels.  I also try to collect models of cars I've owned.  I've been very lucky to acquire models of my personal cars.
