What he said is correct. It is similar to the Charger, since the Charger of that year was based off the Coronet. He never said the cars were the same. Only similar. He's right.
What "Charger of that year" are we talking about then?
If all cars used in the TV series Dukes of Hazzard (i.e The General Lee) were not 69 Chargers, why did they have to covert 68s and 70s to a 69 for The General Lee?
A Road Runner is more similar.
Will the case hold up in court?
And did they do a VIN swap?
