 For sale is a numbers matching 1968 Charger RT.  The photo with the white interior is how I received the car 6 months ago.  Absolutely all original body panels (floors, trunk, doors, valance), minor surface rust on the under carriage, no holes or patches.original drive train (engine, transmission and rear end 3.23 sure grip).  Original 4 wheel drum brakes (power).  The interior was originally white.  After purchasing different seat covers and door panels (upper and lower) it became obvious that all the white 'colors' would not match so I opted for black.  That means the complete interior was replaced, including the console, dash, seat covers, door panels (upper and lower), arm rest and base, door handles, window cranks, steering wheel (power steering), carpet, seat belts and headliner (headliner comes with car, complete with bows but not yet installed).  The car has new bumpers, bumper support brackets, side markers (front& back), LED tail lights, emblems, hood blinkers, 18' Magnum tires and wheels (or original 14"), trunk liner, headlights, windshield, windshield rubber, windshield chrome, rear window chrome, headlight bezels, antennae, radio, under dash wiring harness, battery, dynamat insulation.....the list goes on.  You can check my eBay purchases over the last 6 months which total well over 10K spent on this car.  Another 4K spent outside of eBay and an additional 6K on the paint.  Of course this does not include the cost of the rust free, numbers matching, absolutely straight body 1968 RT.  This car does not have a fender tag which can be ordered but does have a Tennessee title.  I never registered the car since they do NOT issue titles in Georgia and would have kept the title I have.  Also have new 68 Charger tailpipes and hangers which may or may not be installed by close of auction but will go with car.

The paint is 3 months old and has not been completely buffed out.  There are flaws in the paint. nothing major but I believe in full disclosure.  The original color of the car was burgundy.  The new paint is a Dodge color, Wildberry Pearl.  It is absolutely stunning.  I tried to match the original burgundy as close as I could so I would not have to pull the engine to paint the engine compartment.  The engine was rebuilt 5 years ago before the car was but in storage and started every 6-8 months by the previous owner.  It runs great.  I changed the carburetor to a period correct Carter.   The wheels on the car are 18 inch but the original 14 inch magnum wheels can be substituted.  The pictures speak for themselves.  This car is not that pricey given the fact that it is an original numbers matching car.  I've sold two XP cars that were no where near as nice for more than the reserve on this car.

Please do not ask the reserve, as the auction will run its course.  Only an unrestored, non numbers matching (or rolling) 68 RT will be considered as partial trade ( I have a 426 Hemi I need to find a home for).

I am sure I have left out a lot of information so feel free to ask.

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.

CEO Sergio Marchionne curses FCA spokesman for emissions cheating denial

Tue, May 15 2018

WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reprimanded the company's top U.S. spokesman for issuing press releases about Fiat's vehicle emissions practices days after Volkswagen's disclosure in September 2015 that the German automaker had used illegal software to evade emissions tests, documents released Monday show. Lawyers suing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in a securities case filed excerpts of an email from Marchionne to Gualberto Ranieri, then the company's U.S. spokesman, in a filing in federal court in New York criticizing him for saying that the company does not use defeat devices. "Are you out of your goddam mind?" Marchionne wrote in an email on Sept. 22, 2015, adding that Ranieri should be fired and calling his actions "utterly stupid and unconscionable." The company said in a statement on Monday it was "understandable that our CEO would have a forceful response to any employee who would opine on such a significant and complex matter, without the matter having been fully reviewed through its appropriate channels." The statement added that Ranieri's comments came just days after VW's emissions issue became public "and before a comprehensive internal review and discussions with component suppliers was possible." Fiat Chrysler was sued in 2015 along with Marchionne and other executives over claims it defrauded shareholders by overstating its ability to comply with vehicle safety laws. An amended version of the complaint filed in 2017 added claims about its compliance with emissions laws. The shareholders accused the defendants of inflating Fiat Chrysler's share price by hundreds of millions of dollars from October 2014 to October 2015 by downplaying safety concerns. They said the shortcomings materialized in 2015 when the automaker was fined $175 million by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and took a roughly $670 million charge for recalls. Plaintiffs filed the excerpts seeking approval to take up to 40 additional depositions, including Marchionne's. The U.S. Justice Department sued Fiat Chrysler in May 2017, accusing it of illegally using software to bypass emission controls in 104,000 diesel vehicles sold since 2014. Fiat Chrysler has held numerous rounds of settlement talks with the Justice Department and California Air Resources Board to settle the civil suit, including talks as recently as earlier this month. It faces a separate criminal probe into the matter.

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.
